Monitor Your C.O.!

    Wanna cause some trouble?

    Monitor your Circuit Overseer's talks during congregation visits and circuit assemblies.

    At District Assemblies, C.O./D.O. talks are manuscripts, carefully monitored, WORD FOR
    WORD, by a brother assigned by headquarters. This is not a joke - it's actually quite
    surprizing to see a brother with the whole text of the talk in front of him, with his
    finger following every line and word, to note ANY deviation from the Society's
    material. You see, they get scared about getting in trouble in politically correct
    cities (imagine saying that God will destroy all gays at Armageddon) - or uttering
    speculations about How Close the End is.

    On the other hand, in elders meetings, congregation visits and sometimes
    circuit assemblies, things aren't as tight - but they still are public meetings
    and these guys still REPRESENT the Society.

    So, feel free to record and transcribe any 'odd' talks by Circuit Overseers
    and then send them to the Society and ask "Why haven't we seen this in the Watchtower?"

    Circuit Overseers hate this - and often, will never forget elders who 'correct' them
    by calling the Service Dept.!

    Don't worry about discouraging them.

    They probably would be happier selling cars or insurance, anyway.

    It's amazing what you hear some of these guys say. They're the world's worst for ripping scriptures out of context and making some agenda driven application. They also very frequently say things that are not supported anywhere in the publications or that are contrary to published doctrine, of course no one ever calls them on it.

    A few years ago we had a CO tell the congregation that all they have to do is come to meetings and go in service, and Jehovah will give them life.

    I really wish I had taped that one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
