    In the congregation here, they are all now older guys 50-65, mostly just drones, with very little effort to show any initiative and very little enthusuiasm for what they are doing, almost to the point of complaining about all the work they have to do, but at the same time saying what a "wonderful organization" it is. They really aren't a good advertisment for anyone thinking of "reaching out" to be an elder. Everyone just looks so "tired" and the conversations are all very very shallow - it seems they don't have much of a life or time for anything other than window cleaning or ministry.

    Old and getting older, with fewer and fewer prospects to succeed him, and thusly having to do more and more work to enable his congregation to function, which, in turn, ages him even faster.
