"I parrot what the GB says" - Wesley Benner
After holding up a green book, one DO said "If the GB says this book is black, than this book is black".

"There is a core of faithful ones here in the congregation. If the rest of you don't gather around this core, you are going to fall right out of the truth." - Circuit Overseer George Black addressing the Merrick Congregation in Jamaica Queens New York.

Edwin Roach, circa 1980:
"God's organization is like a beautiful chrysanthemum that has hundreds of petals in it. One petal, on its own isn't very significant is it? In fact, if I pull one petal out of this beautiful big blossom, and just threw it away, nobody here would really know the difference. That's how the organization is too. If one person stops going to meetings and ends up leaving The Truth(tm), who is going to notice them in comparison to the beauty of the whole organization?"
I think he was trying to illustrate how the organization - as a group of individuals - was something beautiful, while individuals really could not accomplish God's will by themselves.
What he ended up doing was to crystallize the GB's opinion of each individual: inconsequential, unimportant, insignificant.

this is good stuff guys......
lets hear some more.....
Scully, his story sort of defeats the principle behind Jesus' illustration of the shepherd who leaves the 99 sheep to go find the lost one. Seems to be that one is more important than the 99 or at least as important according to Jesus.
One CO once said that the only grounds for divorce in the nation of Israel was adultery. Does anyone see the flaw in that statement?
one of the most memorable from C.O...........' I just don't see why a REAL Christian would go to A.A." ( circa 1997 )
Hey Worf:
Anything coming out of that co's mouth would not surprise me.

I remember one psycho, I mean, CO, I think his name was Slarke, and he gave the Saturday night talk about why some people were pretty and attractive and others not!
He asked the question as a teaser on the Tuesday night.
Anyway, on Saturday, he said the faces of pretty people were in the same ratio as the Archimedes "magic number", which was some supposed natural ratio which our brains were programmed to respond to. What the ...???
Where did they find such stuff??
