Had 2 in my last congro.
1 was trying SSSOOO hard to be an M.S we used to say he was Brownoseing out (not reaching out) He would allways fall all over the C.O and hang around the Elders like the bad smell he was.
Another one was an M.S for years and brownoseing out to be an Elder....Him and his wife kissed every available arse,They used to make me sick when the C.O came around...He finaly made Elder only to be removed 3 months latter.
karter.
In my cong. you had to go through the COBOE's family; his brother was also an elder, one of his sons was an elder who was married to the service overseers' daughter, his neice was married to another elder, whose father was another COBOE in town, whose father, in turn, was the substitute CO. His other two sons were also elders in other congs.
They were all very nice, not mob-like or anything, but congregation gatherings still felt like intruding in another family's party.
How about Sister brownose? I lived in a small town in Southern Oregon when I began pioneering at the young age of 18. The cong only had two elders when we first moved in but then one of the elder fled because of all the BS. The last remaining elder had a wife who was a pioneer as well, and let me tell you she wanted to be the only one in the cong. I would meet for service and "car groups" had already been made so there was no room for me. All of her adorning fans kissed her ass and it was oh Julia said this, Julia said that etc. She was the official expert on the Aid Book and carried it around like a cross in a monistary. Imagine when the S--t hit the fan when her elder hubby was caught in bed with the only Mini. Servant's wife who happen to be the next door neighbor. Surprise Julia did not have much to say about that. Karma???? YEP
LOL karter...you're such a kiwi...I love the titles of your threads.
Yea, my wife's uncle...Count DRUNKula! He spent most of his life being a drunken wife and child abusing ASS. Never went to service and missed most of the meetings. He would attend assemblies with a dagger tucked into his cowboy boot and a pistol in his book bag. He drank and acted like an asshole all the time. Well because his poor, long suffering wife, (The Bride of DRUNKenstein) kept the kids in line and going to meetings and service the three girls and the son are all pioneers and the son is also a ms. Count DRUNKula thinks that because HE is the head of the house that HE is the reason his kids excel in the wt. So he wants to be an elder NOW! WTF!!! LOL So he brown nosed the elders. Inviting them for SHRIMP dinners. Ooo la la! SHRIMP says class I guess. He volunteered for all manner of work details too. Well the elders said that his reputation as a drunken brawler excluded him from an eldership in their fine congregation. He got mad and threatedned to beat them up! LMAO! He left and moved to the other Spanish congo in the same hall. Same brown nosing happened there, but like the elders TALK...He was once again denied. He spends his time carting everyone around now to meetings and ass-semblies like a fu**ing LACKEY....He's so stupid.
Two, at least, one was so far up the Circuit Overseers arse he could see the other guys feet.
There were always brown-noses, but I found more often than not that Elders would push their 'friends' up the ladder to MS and Elders.
For instance, there was one Elder who pushed his Son-In-Law up the ladder to an MS and Elder, despite showing no effort or enthusiasm whatsoever but he became one none-the-less.
The S-I-L was the most miserable people you could ever wish to meet and completely unapproachable. He never said hello to anyone, came to the meetings, did his talks and other responsibilities and disappeared straight away when the meeting closed. I'm sure we've all met Elders like that.
I remember once that it came to light that the Elders all played golf together and occasionally would invite other 'Brothers' to tag along. These 'Brothers' would often be appointed within a short period of time which again indicated that Elder's would recommend certain JW's for positions of responsibility because they socialised with them. It was nothing to do with Holy Spirit appointing them or because they were 'reaching out'.
The same Elder (above) pushed his own study all the way to be a MS and then later an Elder. Again, it was nothing to do with this individual 'reaching out', it was purely because this Elder wanted a feather in his cap.
After he was appointed, he smugly made reference saying that he was the 'jewel' in ***** crown'. Says it all really.
He was lazy, arrogant, tell his wife private congregation business, caused divisions in the book group, and would often not turn up for talks. He was the biggest snitch going and would deliberately cause rifts by revealing private conversations.
At the time I was reaching out to be an MS and he put every obstacle in my way. I even found out that he had recommended that I shouldn't be made up as I wasn't a Pioneer. Yet at the time, I was running the sound by myself (sound Servant was never at meetings), putting in over 20+ hours a month, doing talks on the MS, reading the Watchtower, prayers, you name it, I was doing it.
Eventually, he had all my priviledges removed because I didn't turn up to read at the bookgroup one night. He went to the other Elders and said that I was 'unreliable'.
I then met someone at work and started a relationship with her. It was at that time I was put on a judicial comittee and reproved. He loved every minute of it but following that I never reached out again and slowly started to fade.
I made the mistake of marrying a JW in haste, thinking that would keep me a JW. The truth is she wanted out of it as much as I did and eventually we both stopped attending meetings. We had a turbulent marriage that ended in 2007.
Sorry for the ramble. ;)
yeah, we have them and there's always more trying to take their place.
One guy used to buy computers for the CO, and used to always upgrade the elders computers.
another guy, used to always invite the elders/co's to dinner and give plenty of green hand$hakes
2 examples for us to imitate (you know...imitate their faith...uh huh.... My brother- Always buys COs suits, golf, dinner, breakfast,lunch. Worked out well. He is now a regular on Circuit and Districts. Kiss ass supreme. Newly baptized pub initials A.D.- Every move and comment is kiss-assery. I can't even begin to explain. Doing stage within 1 month of baptism in an otherwise very strict hall.
I would love to walk up to most of my conned-green-nation and say, "Uh, you have a little somethin' on your nose".
I don't think they notice the brown on their nose because their entire head has always been up an ass (either their own or someone else’s).
Of course this is just more "evidence" that the "holey speared-it" is directing appointments.
