What's an elder ??
It's someone older than you.
Or a shrub.
Or a Kiss album.
"An Elder is any person recognized by a First Nations’ community as having knowledge and understanding of the traditional culture of the community, including the physical manifestation of the culture of the people their spiritual and social traditions. Knowledge and wisdom, coupled with the recognition and respect of the people of the community, are the essential defining characteristics of an Elder. Some Elders have additional attributes, such as those of traditional healer."
A jew who is conspiring to take over the world according to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
A low ranking member of the Mormon Melchizedek priesthood who has not yet become a high priest. Some of them are the guys you see wandering the streets in dark suits and black name tags. The creators of South Park make fun of them.
No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!
It's all about retaining the young men at the point in their lives when they are a high flight risk to the church. The church knows if they just let their 18 year olds go after hight school graduation many will drift away from the church and never come back. So they endoctrinate the young women not to marry a non-returned missionary and put all sorts of family and community pressure on the young lads to go on a mission.
Of course they come home after two years of no women and horny as hell and young and dumb with all sorts of sweet young things after them and mothers wanting to marry their fair young daughters off. Bingo. Marriage and kids on the way. The church retains another generation while creating the illusion it's a world wide church and gaining membership fast. In reality, most converts to the Momron church go inactive. Especially overseas. That's ok. The whole thing was about retaining another born in church generation in the church and whatever little extra the missionary effort brings it that's fine. Most the money that goes into the church comes from north America anyways. That is the base they are concerned about retaining.
So the young guys in the dark suits are just being set up to marry a mormon girl when they get home and she will keep them in line. So feel even more sorry for them.
Yeah, I get all that power and control shit. I just don't know how they thought the title "Elder" was appropriate for an 18 year old kid. Especially the ones who were raised in small town Utah, have literally never lived outside of the Mormon bubble, and look like they have landed on another planet when they are given a "mission" in a far more liberal state.
Ooh...I wanna go on a mission!!
American by birth. Southern by the grace of God.
You'd know...
Another one of those classic genius posts, sure to generate responses. You log on the next day to see what your witty gem has produced to find no one gets it and 2 knotheads want to stick their dicks in it... Well played, sir!!

You missed the first three tours. There are no "make ups" or "do overs", yet you are purporting to educate us on the early days of Van Halen?
I recommend padding your resume', ffoner. As "devil's advocate" I say *lie* about your score... and say you 'em ALL, '78 - '84.
P.S. I can keep a secret, this is just between you and me.

Yeah, because all of the best Civil War buffs were actually there, right?
It's called research. Research includes words of those who were there. This book will educate plenty, I'm sure.
