Arrogant Titles for Elders and Company Men (page 3)

To be fair though there are some genuine men that are elders and are caring and loving. Those really a shelter from the storm. Most are company men, but we can't ignore the good men. Kate xx

Raybublisher did a really nice video about Elders. It was " The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly." There are Elders who are genuinely caring, but they are deluded and will eventually harm you out of ignorance and loyalty to the GB. Then there are those who are arrogant and will harm you out of loyalty to the GB. Finally there are the ugly, pedos and pedo-protectors, they will harm you as well.

To make matters worse, the more legalistic the and corrupt the WTBTS becomes, the "Good" Elders lose their influence or step down. If they are not on this site, don't trust them.

Tiki,

You just beat me to the punch - good on you!

When my family became JWs in the early 1950s my parents both thought it odd that the congregation was not called a "church," but rather a "company." The servants were known as "Company Servant," "Asst. Company Servant," Literature Servant, Territory Servant, Accounts Servant, Theocratic Ministry School and Watchtower Study Conductors. Bible Study Conductors managed the Tuesday night meetings that were spread all over town.

We referred to each other as Publishers and members of the Company, never congregation.

The roots of Joseph Rutherford still ran deep. I think the change took place in 1953 about the time of the International Convention in New York.
