Hey, speaking of nutters I remember one dear old brother, he and his wife were both of the anointed. Anyway she went senile as they got older; we had tea with them once and the poor old dear put 2 spoons of BUTTER in her tea, instead of sugar! Geez, it was was hard not to laugh at the poor old duck. Her cup of tea had this inch thick layer of butter floating on the top and she was trying to drink it!

Their name was Gledhill; dragged their family all over the countryside for good old Jehovah when they were young then when the kids grew up they all left the "troof" because their parents treated them like shit when they were growing up. Good thinking Jehovah! You are such a brain!!

I don't remember any particularly evil CO's wives. I was never the super active dub so I tried to stay out of their way when they came to visit. I do remember how NO ONE wanted to sit by any of them during the meetings. The whole hall could be filled but the seats by them would remain empty until there were no other seats available. I ended up having to sit by them once....with an unstudied watchtower The pubs didn't clamor to work with them out in FS either. I do recall when one CO told the audience at the beginning of his visit....."and please don't feed me anything cooked in aluminum pots."

As for evil pioneer sister.......oh yea, had one of those. If Satan is real, I swear, he must have whispered in her ear exactly what to say to people at the right moment. She was an evil witch who absolutely hated pubs and never missed an opportunity to put down and critisize. She was so haughty, I was convinced that if the society had asked her to wear a purple robe with double fringe and a scripture containing case on her forehead to the meetings and FS, she would have felt perfectly happy and justified in doing so.

When I aux. pioneered one month, another regular pioneer told me if front of a bunch of sisters....."I used to waste time doing that". In other words, aux. pioneering was nothing, no big sacrifice. Needless to say, I never wasted my time again

never knew any evil or anal CO's wives...all the ones I met were quiet women who reminded me of puppies who had been beaten into submission

SO TRUE

Pork Chop

I've known several COs wives that were absolutely horrible. One that was a certifiable alcoholic but also treated everyone like dirt. One that sends letters to congregations just like here husband does, that's a new one.

Banshee

I remember on CO's wife who was pretty nasty. She teamed up with the Super Self Righteous pioneers on her visits. Yeah....she and they were real pals during the visit. And she was very cold towards any attractive young sisters in the congregations...barely civil and the two finger handshake for them. Her husband pretty much deserved her, though. He was a real a**hole to anyone who did not suck up to him & his wife.

Ah, yes....and speaking of nutters, you guys, my grandmother was one of those who spotted demons everywhere. When her father died, she scared me and my siblings pretty badly by angrily throwing lots of valuable antiques into a bonfire (as well as the rest of the contents of the house) because she claimed they were demonized cuz her mom had done a little of the old Irish fortunelling stuff.

I have lots of CO stories, but the one i remember most is a really really skinny CO wife who would only wear 6 inch heels and absoulutely refused to go out in service with her husband, because all she wanted to do out in service was go to yard sales, and he would fuss at her about it. I was a kid and totally dedicated. I thought at the time she was horrible, but now I think she had the right idea! We spent the entire weekend yard saling and placing brochures at the houses!

I knew of no evil CO wives. But I knew Grace Casino. I liked her but nearly EVERYONE hated her.

I don't usually like to get involved in this kind of thread - I feel that it is very easy to criticize people in the CO's position. They've dedicated their lives to something [no matter what we think of the theology] and most of them really try to do a good job as they see it. Conflicts with them are often because they are tired, or stupid, or depressed - in a word, HUMAN.

Some of them are arrogant beyond belief, that is true, including a few that I've known personally. But so was I some time ago, before Jehovah taught me humility by facing me with my own imperfections.

HOWEVER, these sessions can be beneficial because they let some venting take place. So, while I don't want to nitpick, I'm going to.

One CO told me that I should stay away from the girls and go to Bethel.

Another asked me what my goals were, and when he found out I was going to college, he almost had a conniption at my lack of spirituality.

That second one's wife proceeded to grill me for a few hours while out in service telling me that I should be thinking of going to Bethel. I nearly wanted to tell her that I'd been diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder just two weeks before [after an act of public self-mutilation] except I was trying to get all that crap behind me. So I just sat and smiled, and nodded and said that they needed to get off my case.

And the CO tried to get me out in streetwork in my hometown, just two weeks after I almost killed myself in public. Suffice to say, I wonder what kind of witness that would have given: MADMAN WITH FRESH SCARS PREACHES DOOM!!!

And that CO [no wonder I didn't exactly enjoy his stay] proceeded to ask me in front of everyone at a service group if I wanted to go to Bethel. I said no. He said I should. I said "oh boy" really loudly and in a very sarcastic tone of voice.

I find Bipolar affective disorder to be a wonderful tool for mouthing off to authority figures. Huzzah for the madness, the fire and the fury, the spittle in the corner of my mouth.
