solid point. as I said in my last post there are four older brothers there who in my view are obviously the elders because they have the growth in life. however they decided to defer the responsibility to these young gung ho guys. could that be laziness? or maybe they're too old? but the fact is that these young guys are NOT qualified, I've seen and experienced their lack. they are full of energy and full of zeal for the most part, but they don't have the growth of Christ, the maturity, and the experience to really help. I suppose you could call them leaders in that they outwardly pursue righteousness I suppose. but as far as being genuine elders and shepherds, no I don't see it
