Or do you feel that they were just company men, doing what they had to do, to keep people in line.
Do you ever feel that the elders were your friends?

I have two brother in laws that are elders and they actually do not shun me or twist my arm to come back. When I talk with them I do not get the condecending attitude that I get from other JW's. It's nice to have at least a couple family members that I can still keep in contact with even though they are not blood related.
I have another elder that has been a family friend since I was six that comes into the clinic every week. He has never tried to talk me into comming back and is very friendly and talks quite a bit. He is a genuine friend and I never detect and phoniness or plastic attitude from him.
The rest of them are pretty much assh@)es to me. One is a CO and the other a former DO, go fiqure.

Our family had a friend who became an Elder on the low end of the totom pole...After that he was to busy and we lost touch with him. OR maybe he lost touch with us.

found-my-way
it depended on the elder...
some were robots, some were black and white thinkers, some were just jerks,
but some were sincere and caring....and I will miss those people.

Friends?
No.
I get a "cop" vibe from them more than anything else.
