I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you're an elder or part of the "in" crowd, he'll just look through you or over your head as he wafts by on little golden clouds of adoration from the R&F.

In the off chance we get wrapped up in discussion, What should I say?
I would guess that saying "screw you and the horse you rode in on" would be too abrupt, huh?
I liked Else's comment.

So true. Only once did I ever really get to know the CO that well. He was a nice guy, kinda laid back. All the others, I usually worked pretty hard to avoid.
Unfortunately, becoming part of the "in" crowd with that one CO led me to rat out some other brothers in the circuit who were in a rock band and playing at local bars around town. I told the CO about it, well, whined and bitched about it was more like it. The CO got to the bottom of it all right. Within a few weeks the band was disbanded. I felt pretty smug about it at the time (all the while I hypocritically was listening to hard rock and heavy metal at home). Now I feel pretty stupid about it.

Tell him the org will never take proper care of me and so I have to go to college so I will be better able to direct my future as I want. I don't want to become a window cleaner or have financial problems after retiring and don't tell me jehovah will help because there are many that didn't get helped.

Tell him the Society's way of dealing with child abuse makes you physically ill. If he tries to defend their position, vomit in his face,

The last time I went in service a year ago was with the CO. I had just stepped down from being an elder and he wanted to know why. I told him that I felt that there were to many things in the elder book that "went beyond the things written."
He replied that almost everything in the book could be found in the Watchtower. I said that I believed that Paul was referring to the Scriptures.
He had no reply and we walked back to the car and that was about the last thing I've said to him.
Anyway, you could ask him if he thought the Witnesses were right when they said that religion is a snare and a racket.

I was gonna put in my application for Bethel service but with them laying everybody off, I guess I'll just stay here and go to college...
I agree. So far this suggestion wins hands down.

Grow a goatee and show up for service in blue jeans, a t-shirt, and sport coat. You won't even have to worry about talking to him!

Tell him you've been assigned to write a report for "career Day" at school and you would like to interview him about what Circuit Work is like fron a career point of view.What do you need to qualify?
What are the benefits?
What are the difficult aspects of the job? What about career advancement and job security?
Lay it on as only you can do. A concealed voice recorder is a nice idea. If he pats you down, the UADNA Secretariat will disavow all knowledge of your activities.
