Were You Affected By Weird Elders?

We all had some to deal with some. You would ask yourself, “how the hell did this guy ever get to be an elder”???

We had one elder originally from England that used to wear his pants belted up to his chest with typically a dirty spotted tie and shirt. He would never miss a house to house meeting for field service whether it was 10 below zero or 100 degrees with heat and humidity. If someone balked at going house to house he would remind you that Jesus did it and so must we. Weirdo.

Did you deal with weird elders??

Yes, there were more than one. A few weird circuit overseers as well.

But, hey we’re all weird in our own way. It’s all about adhering to social norms that are decided by the majority. The odd guy can’t figure out how to fit in due to autism or adhd or some other neurological disorder. I don’t hold it against anyone that is born with a disability.

The elders and circuit overseers that I truly despise are the normal ones that are abusive assholes.

We had a circuit overseer that would ask to be driven to the nearby piano store and he would sit and play the piano for 15 minutes then go to next house. I guess he was a gifted player before he became a CO. But he suddenly left the circuit work and no one heard about him afterwards.

The circuit overseer wanted to keep up with his skills and that was the only way he could unless he stayed at a brothers house that had a piano. Being a slave to the organization this was probably the only enjoyment he could get.

That’s the way I look at it anyway.

There was one elder in my old hall that was lets say folliclely challenged in mid life, well he was the guy who went about scrutinized all the boy's and men's hair length.

If you were seen with just 1/8 of inch of hair on your ears, he would point you out and take you to the back room for counseling.

We called him the hair Nazi

I myself got taken back to the room by him once when it was noticed I had 1/4 inch of hair resting on top of my ears.
