@Mad Sweeny- you are right. The more I got to know certain elders the more I saw their giant egos.
A few were sincere but always gave in to the egotistical big shot ones.
In fs an elder told me his boss was an a-hole while we were going door to door. I couldn't believe it.
Elders told their wives things I confided to them.
One elder told me a certain sister was a lesbian. She had trusted him to keep it confidential. I felt so bad for her. This elder always bragged about his accomplishments in Jehovah's organization. Still, many looked up to him and criticized me for not feeling the same. Big egos is what I discovered so many of them had.
