Some were worse than others but yes in general they are bitches. They always look down upon those who are deemed "lesser" They would stick to their clicks and you really had to tow the line to be allowed in. Its part of the cult.

OVERRATED:

Back then I really couldn’t stand some of the older women who were pioneers.

Yes, they were self-righteous and considered pillars of the congregations and the elders looked up to them. Meanwhile, some had non-JW husbands who supported them and they had no idea what somebody like me who worked to support myself had to go through!..But, yet I was criticized.

Yes, a so-called worldly man worked forty years so these women could go ringing doorbells and acting pious!..These women also hosted dinners for pioneers (that I wasn’t invited to). Well, anybody who pioneered then and didn’t plan for the future and is suffering financially NOW...can try looking up these great ladies and the rest of the spiritual bunch. Well, Good luck!

My wife wasn’t!

All those years of my eldership, putting up with my stress , my having to spend time in elders meeting after pointless elders meeting, and hearing me grumbling about things. It gave her a healthy disrespect of the BOE and the system.

I do know the type you mean though. Tough old birds who had pioneered for years and thought themselves a cut above the rest. But don’t you come across that type in other church groups as well? I think so.

Overrated

I was looked down upon by a pioneer / elder's wife who was a friend of the family for pursuing a career instead of pioneering. I did pioneer for a short time but found the whole experience to be a waste of time. I started to question as to why we have to work for our salvation when Jesus Death was a gift to all mankind? As you can see where that all went.

Add to that CO's wives. (not plural wives, plural CO's)

They were really good at snooping when chatting with the "sisters". I'm sure it was for the benefit of their hubby.

Overrated

I had an elder's wife spying on me when I was in school. I guess Gee-hober don't like people smoking a little weed.. my question(s) when they where my age did they smoke some weed? And what harm did it caused? God created weed to be smoked and enjoyed did he not? The bible writers where on some sort of stuff when they wrote the bible, don't you think?

I can think of an elders wife who was a real nasty toxic bitch.

The bible writers where on some sort of stuff when they wrote the bible, don't you think?

Bloody good stuff, too, I reckon it was!

So much for there being no hierarchy in the organization.

. well, the book of Revelation, supposed to be relevant now, in the lord's day since 1914, predicted in the letters to the 7 congregations, that the jezebel influence will be alive and well, dominant in more than 14 % of the congregations.

prent in the rest too, but not tolerated
