To become an elder, a "brother" is typically someone who managed to underline his magazine study article and comment at least twice during a two-hour meeting. He showed up at recruiting meetings and was known for at least trying to use the suggested presentations at the door. He may have bought a minivan, but at least bought a four-door sedan or SUV.
Once he became one of the elders, this man is typically too busy with "theocratic" stuff to help someone move or paint their apartment. He only studies so far as it takes to complete his meeting parts, but probably still underlines his magazine so he doesn't stumble others. He tries to look joyful, but really looks stressed because he has another meeting part and because someone in his group didn't turn in their time or because he has to go to the meeting after the meeting.
I think this is the most accurate comment.
