Obama and Kennedy sitting together will be news today.
It is amazing how much one ages after 8 years of being president. I often look at those that have been General overseers and they age quick as well. The stress load is so much more then we will probablly ever know. Just a thought.

You got that right....we pastors whine about trying to keep 40 or 50 satisfied and the state overseers have to be concerned with thousands and the general overseer has to be concerned with the entire church!
Glad it's not me.

It's a good thing Jesus is already in that heavenly body, he's in charge of the whole thing. I wonder how that would age ya?

Makes me wonder how stressful it is being Pope . . . I mean you got the whole church on your shoulders.

Historically, at least, "beneath your feet".

It's really not responsibility that ages you .....it's getting older....
I actually got grey hair after I became a State Overseer..but when I left that "august position", my hair got dark again......of course that was because I started using "just for men" .....now I use "just for very old men".
But at least no one in my church is critical of that,,,,,,I would fire them!!!
Seriously, being in one of those positions doesn't really have to kill you. It has a lot to do with work habits and how well you can lay it aside. Regan never let it give him one grey hair......and look how long Castro has maintained himself.
I didn't feel all that much pressure as a SO. Actually, it can be a slack gig because no one ever really know s for sure where you are....or if you are anywhere. The people in the north think you are visiting churches in the south and those in the west think you are in the east...........and you can go fishing and no one knows the difference......go hold a revival....make some "moonlight money". Those guys get better offerings because they might have a good church open some day!

Aww, they weren't all as bad as all that. At least I don't think so.
