When you can't rely upon divine guidance, you create rules for everything

The MoTab Choir retired 27 of its members last month. Did these folks leave because they felt led to pursue other areas of their spiritual lives? Nope. They were forced to retire based upon rules governing the age and length of service allowed for choir members.

From the Deseret News article:

"Membership in the Tabernacle Choir is limited to age 25 or older and for 20 years or until age 60, whichever comes first. Sunday’s retirees had each reached one of those milestones."

OY

I remember meeting a guy on my mission who was really angry and bitter that he got kicked out.
