Were You Treated With Respect When Counseled By The Elders?

by Paralipomenon in

friends

i knew a certain few elders that really got off by "talking down" to the "flock".

many elders were pretty nice guys but a few could turn----just like that!

what was your experience with "those taking the lead", the "loving shepherds"???

One time we had elders come over because we were having a fight. I guess we thought it would help. I don't remember the reason for the fight but I do remember that sex came up. I never got any 'cause my husband would rather do it to himself. So one of the elders put the blame on me--that I must not be good enough for my husband! I'm not sure what he based that comment on----his own experience?

Name the 'Finest Hypocrites' you know.

by AK - Jeff in

i knew of an elder who ran a janitorial business for decades here [surprize] - his primary employees were his kids, ranging in age from 3 or 4 to teenager at various times.

he would bring in the whole family, they would spread out and empty bags, vacuum, and dust.

in a flash they are out and off to the book study or whatever.. he was able to 'witness wipe' several offices after 5 o'clock and before the 7 o'clock meeting times.

Elders ARE idiots!!

by Gill in

this has always been my opinion, even as a 'loyal' jw!

i thought that elders were idiots.

i have only ever known one who has ever had any real education, a solicitor and he was an arrogant twonk, the rest were a pathetic bunch of bullies who 'appeared' to be loving and kind but were infact out to find out the shit about everyone and cause as much trouble for everyone as possible.
