Evil force you lost touch with the way the JW ambience works they are brainwashed into believing that to be an elder is a blessing for them and their family rich spiritual rewards from Jehovah and oh.....if I remember well good priviledges in the new system.
And of course many, perhaps most do it for the sense of power and importance it gives in the cong.

Absolutely, 100% correct minimus. Though some bodies of elders are worse than others. I have served on 4 of them. The current one is absolutely the worse. Power hunger, backstabbing, nepotism, ambition, pride... its sickening. God's spirit is far removed from this arrangement I assure you of that.
