It was this last CO in my old circuit would be my undoing....when I found out he was golf buddies with the PO and Service Overseer, I knew it was mene mene tekel parsin for 'ol Snake.
Hey Sankes or Snakes (by the way, which is it?), I don't get your golf buddies connection. What is it I'm missing?

A couple of months ago a recent Gilead graduate was posting on here. He'd been assigned to Africa, came back to the states with his wife, seperated and left the Witnesses.
He had several posts about the Gilead course and why it was such a disappointment to him. Essentially, as I remember it, he was expecting to really get into the biblical meat and hoped to address some of his already developing doubts.
Instead, Gilead turned out to be a course that pounded on why the F&DS and Gov. Body were to be followed and obeyed.
I forget the posters name, but some here may remember.

I don't get your golf buddies connection
The thread was about former traveling overseers, and I had commented about CO's being stuck even if they did not still believe what they were espousing in behalf of the Borg.....
My "golf buddies" comment was a side note (as apposed to an outright hijack) of the thread. ..but to clarify (and now moving precariously close if not into hijack territory):
In the 'ol worldly Corporations, if you dont run in the right circles by playing golf with the bosses, you miss out on the opportunities to "kiss a**" with the executives, and you are out of the loop for raises and promotions. (a big gripe of many women hitting the glass ceiling in the old days...maybe still?)
Just substitute a few things here: In the 'ol world Corporations Borg, in my case, since I dont play golf (and no longer have time to even watch it), I missed out on the opportunity be part of the golf foursome (including the PO's dad) to "kiss a**" with the executives CO and I was out of the loop for raises and promotions I mean assembly parts and getting to bend the CO's ear in my favor. Previous posts of mine give a bit of background on my dealings with that BOE leading to my deletion last year. (One day, the story will come out)

I remain....
SNAKESInTheTower (of the "not playing nicely with the BOE" Sheep Class) what the hell is a Sankes other than a typo? (can this be fixed?)
