Where on that form does it show the brothers' age or frailties?
Where does it mention that he has served faithfully for 50 years, but is now weaker than he used to be or that his circumstances have changed, but he still does as much as he can at the moment?
Where is mention that despite having a family and a full time job he spends hours preparing for each of his talks, and his items are among the most encouraging in the congregation?
Or that he spends time with the fatherless boys and the widows, giving his time and energy so that they can be comforted and encouraged.
What mention that he has undergone trials in the past and remained steadfast, and now is one of the community's most respected members, with a reputation for being a wise person and a peace maker.
He has put on the new personality so thoroughly that he is a beacon for those who need an understanding and compassionate ear. The fruitages of the spirit are evidenced in every part of his life, especially in the upbuilding and well prepared comments he always makes, meeting after meeting. Where is there space on the sheet for this?
He has been such a conscientious and hardworking father that his children and grandchildren have all made progress in the Truth. Where is this recorded on the sheet?
He is never missing when it comes to Hall cleaning and is the first to volunteer whenever something needs doing. He shows hospitality to visiting speakers and opens his home to Circuit Overseers. Where on the form does this get recorded?
Those with needs he has selflessly given to. Errands, money, food, clothes. Where is the column that counts this? He practices the Golden Rule and is known for having genuine love. Every night he remembers someone else in his prayers to God, even those now looking to judge and condemn him.
Why does anyone feel that is right in the sight of God to use a small slip of paper to pass judgement on a mans spirituality?
Romans 14:10 asks "Why do you judge your brother? Why do you look down on your brother?"
Jesus said to stop judging that you may not be judged.
For these reasons I think the CO is unreasonable, and the judging is both unscriptural and shameful.
