    I LOL whenever I run across this term because it aptly describes the elders' wives I've known.

    Bossy and domineering for the most part, they delighted in being the alpha females and watched jealously to see if any other female received undue attention from the body of elders.

    I remember one who told me that my dress was too short, another said I was spoiling my daughter, and yet another wanted to know from where I was buying her clothes!

    Too much!

    LOL.

    I think the word elderettes applies to unmarried pioneers

    as well .......omg, the superiority of these people!

    They get to attend "special" mtgs & get attention from the

    the ELDERS ...sigh :-) ...oh boy where do I sign up!! lol

    If you want to know where you stand in the congregation

    just ask an elderette!

    I remember an elder that was so wet his wife wrote all his talksĀ® for him.

    Another elderette that knew and spread all the gossip in the congregationĀ®

    Another elder that protected his son from a jc for car theft (grand theft auto...not the game).

    God's organizationĀ® my back foot!

    One who somehow managed to find out who was going to get DF'd or "read off" (reproved) before anyone else knew it.

    Did her husband talk in his sleep?
