The rules aplied to a congregation is the same as any member of the congregation. The divorce has to be based on scriptural grounds. What are the scriptural grounds? There is only one provision for divorce. Jesus said at Matthew 19:9:"I say to YOU that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of fornication, and marries another commits adultery." The only acceptable grounds that God recognizes a divorce is fornication by their mate. If fornication has occurred, the innocent mate can seek a scriptural divorce. This applies to all in the congregation. There are no special rules for elders

What is the difference between a 7th day Adventist funeral and a Jehovahs Witness funeral?

There are no rituals or traditions in a Jehovah's witness's funeral, The funeral is held whenever it is most convenient. A seventh-day adventist funeral is customarily held a week after the death has occured, it is appropiate that those who assist where black clothing garments, the women wearing sleeves past the elbows and skirts past the knees. No jewelry should be worn. In a Jehovah's witness's funeral there is no need to wear black, most may wear muted tones if they feel more comfortable that way but other colors are optional. Both offer consoling words to the families and aid them afterwards with their needs. Usually if the deceased was a witness then the speaker at the funeral will be someone within the cogregation (called and "elder") who will deliver a talk the whole procession will last about half an hour or so. In the adventist funeral no charitable donations are acceptable to be made. With the witnesses, there is no such rule, they help their spiritual brothers and sister however they see fit based on their needs and they help however they can by offering their services..
