Not for everyone?

He also said 'bondservant.'

Oh, and also - he was 'self-disqualified' from being a bishop, elder, or overseer...
He also said Preacher....

In truth, that was a half baked thought of mine that I put out there very quickly and did not even follow up on because, it was half baked. :-)

The idea I was tracking though was that he was not qualified for the roles that he was defining based on the qualifications he was making..
I do not see him as having authority over all people anyway. I see him as setting standards for the assemblies that he was in charge of. He did not have the authority to make commandments.
 
Not everyone is on the same page when it comes to things like this, and that’s okay. Sometimes people need time to process new ideas, especially big ones like this. Just take it slow and try to be patient with your wife and friends
