I disagree with this characterization. You cannot take the experiences away that former LC elders had. For me to believe the phrase "you can't take the LC out of the elder", then various former elders would not be outspoken as they have been. To say the LC is still in the elder, they would still be towing the party line. These former elders would remain silent because teachings such as "one accord", "deputy authority", and "God's government" just to name a few.
Before former elders are being characterized on this forum, take some time and consider what some of the former elders are doing now. When a former elder is speaking about the past, there needs to be an understanding what happened in the past isn't the present.
