    I wasn't aware of this, but if any reason could be suggested it might be to show who really holds the power over them and thats of course the boys in Brooklyn

    a hidden pyramid of power is in place, that has to be noted.

    That really clicks with my experience.

    I've often wondered if they meet up unofficially, the possible reason why the top brass objected could be the possibility of leaks, CO/DO's have access to large amounts of sensitive info(child abusers) and are often at the branch offices of their country, also they are a very competitive,arrogant,haughty,jumped up group of men probably an event where you'd like to be a fly on the wall.

    I agree w the guys who say that they keep them apart for security reasons. Controler/user types keep like their victims separated. Victims, if they get together and start comparing notes, bonding, airing grevances etc, can easily slip their harnesses and kick up a fuss. Then, control is lost.

    Satanus, I would definately go along with that observation.

    Its news to me. I've sat in a restaurant with a CO a DO and a PO post assembly.

    It was actually a really bizarre experience.... and outside of that weirdness it was kind of funny how all at our table [it was huge as there was family too] had this big over inflated air of importance...and the staff and surrounding tables just looked at us oddly because of that.

    I probably shouldnt mention it in public forums if they can get in trouble heh heh.

    MadBettie,

    The occasion to which I refer was not just a couple of CO's and or DO's having a meal out after a convention.

    This was to be a Monday afternoon/evening get-together of about five or six (forgotten exactly) CO's and a DO

    and their wives, at the home of the Witnesses with whom the DO was staying.

    Head office found out, and it was quashed.
