    Old people are full of wisdom and can tell of things that are gone from our society. The grandchildren love to listen to Mamaw's stories. She is 82 and lived in a time when no one locked their doors, girls acted decent and covered their body, Mom's didn't have to work and stayed home, took care of the house and cooked delicious meals. The family ate meals together around the kitchen table and not in the car. Children respected their parents and said please and thank you.

    Old people deserve our respect and to be treated with dignity. Hold open the door for them, smile at them and be patient if it takes them a little longer to get through the door. Offer to help them if you see the need. Love them while they are here to be loved.

    Usually ambivalent and sometimes quite enamored by them. I like stories of "how things were".

    All that goes out the window when I get behind one of them in a no-passing zone on a two-lane highway.

    They're people who've gotten to a nice age. They're wiser then when they were young, their bodies are weathered, and, hopefully, they're just kicking back and enjoying what they have left. Old people tend to be pretty awesome. (or really annoying, depending how their life has gone...)

    Not much else.

    Spiritually? A bit behind the times, but they tend to be spiritual badasses. Like, if ninjas and robots had a baby and it believed in Jesus.

    Old people are like everyone else -- some are likable, others I would just prefer to avoid (my maternal grandfather, for instance, who is not a very nice individual).

    it depends on who the old person is. some are really sweet & friendly, others wise & worth talking & listening to, & some just downright rude & bitchy. guess that's true with all people though

    Why So Precious?

    3 Among such beloved older servants of God are members of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, current and former traveling overseers, zealous pioneers, and mature Kingdom publishers—brothers and sisters who serve faithfully in our congregations. You may know some who have zealously preached the good news for decades and whose good examples have helped to motivate younger ones and mold their lives. Some older fellow believers have carried heavy loads of responsibility and have endured persecution for the sake of the good news. Jehovah and “the faithful and discreet slave” deeply appreciate all their past and present contributions to the Kingdom work.—Matt. 24:45.

    4 Such faithful seniors merit the gratitude and respect of other servants of Jehovah God. In fact, God’s Law given through Moses links consideration and respect for the elderly with the fear of Jehovah. (Lev. 19:32) We should regularly pray for these faithful ones and thank God for their labors of love. The apost

    I think they are people with great wisdom that only comes with age.
