the new combined Elders Quorum
This was week #2. We've had 2 weeks of discussion about what the new system means. Now we're going to really care about each other, and really minister, etc.
After my initial excitement, I'm starting to wonder if it's going to feel like another big impersonal meeting of bored dudes sitting on hard chairs in the gym for an hour.
I think the thing I'll miss about the old system was having a smaller group that could discuss things. Is the quotient of blow hards higher among the high priests? You know, guys that can't stop talking about their own perspectives and experiences? Or maybe it's less.
It will be interesting where they slot in our just-retired HPGL.
I also have to say, I think EQP is the calling I hated the most in my entire experience in the church. It's completely unsuited to my talents and personality.
