After my elderly JW father passes, I will pull out the old letters to Bethel so you can have some good laughs. I will say this much for now, we had one circuit overseer who was so perverse and twisted they started calling him Br. Wisecrack. Moronic, racist male chauvinist pig. Surprised he didn't make it to the GB.
What was the strangest off-the-cuff remark you ever heard from and elder or higher appointee?

Yes it's true about this co. He also would talk a lot about cleavage and how sisters who have it should cover it. He was a perv. He also told me once not to use hotmail because popups with links to porn would show up on it. -

I think Hoser is spot on, I'm sure there is a letter or something of this nature lurking around that actually mentions that!
Ok my Story. I called this particular incident toiletgate for reasons I will now explain.
We had this one elder who was a total hitler, always right, very opinionated, a bully, narcissistic sociopath, the list is endless! Anywho, one Thursday night he gave a 10 minute talk on the female toilets being blocked all the time. At first everyone laughed as it was just pathetic, but as he continued everyone started to feel really uneasy. Why? He decided to talk about the disposal of sanitary products then toilet tissue. He even went as far as to say how long the hand dryer stayed on for as he had tested it himself!
By the time he had finished his ten minute sermon on female hygiene you could have heard a pin drop, eventually he had to excuse himself from the platform. Car crash tv at its best!

Lol - the thing is - I know that these kind of stories are true - not nasty little apostate lies.
What I'm trying to say - is that even if THESE stories were made up - any 'apologist' JW reading here would have more than a few terribly uncomfortable stories too!
It's global.
The bad mad stuff that comes from the 'platform' and the stuff the comes out of the mouths of those 'appointed by holy spirit' not to forget - we are ALL 'ministers' and 'ambassadors of Christ' - and as a religion we've had the bare faced cheek to mock and deride other Christian based churches.
Madness.

During Field Circus, a sexy householder with a sexy voice opened the door and interacted with the elder I was paired with on a number of subjects. He was about 63 at the time and the house wife was about 35... After about 15 minutes I started wondering why he was taking so long... Then I looked at him and noticed he was actually falling in love (or lust)... Finally, after about 25 minutes he asked if he could return the next day to talk some more...
Anyway... Cutting to the chase... As we walked back to his car to go home, he blurted out: "wow, she's really sexy".
I was completely floored and did not say a word...
Later that week he called me to explain himself (he hadn't gotten any for over 15 years and was horny) and then apologized for his unchristian comment...

An eldub, on the platform one day during the wt study, talking about "false " churches. Said he was talking to a preacher on the steps of his church. After the preacher told him off and stepped back inside. The eldub said. "I looked around, then looked up and said, God DAMM, this place" the total shock heard by the gasps, and looks on all the faces!
I was the reader, so I got to see and hear, the shock!
I heard the impronto elders meeting, lasted 3 hours, that afternoon. The following Thursdays night, at the end of the sm, the co invited that eldub to the platform. He begged forgiveness, for his comments, and promised it would never happen again!
I heard it took a threat, of public reproof, and removal as an eldub, from the circus os, to get him to applogise! It should have happened on Sunday, so the visitors, could have come to see him, beg!

I think that he was clearly reproved, whatever the technicalities involved were!
