...overseer has racial connotations here in the south.
A hundred and fifty years ago maybe...
I haven't seen too many slave overseers in my lifetime...but call me an ignorant Southerner...

I guess "boss man" isn't too hip either...
How belittling if you have to call your employer, "sir"...

Why does every bloody thing become about race these days?
A topic about what they call the P.O. becomes about race somehow.
Getting tired of all the friggin' liberal race baiters.

Did all the Elder position names change? (eg..WT conductor, school conductor, bible study conductor..etc)
Are MS still called MS? Are Pioneers still Pioneers?
What do they call in Inactive brother? Brother?

No worries UC!
I wonder if the Society changes things deliberately to throw inactive people off guard. It's harder to fake it when things change all the time.
I had a friend who until recently was an elder and provided me all the current scoops but he stopped going too.

P.S. Yes, smoky. I hope some that still attend can keep us up-to-date with Jehovah's Celestial Chariot! I used to hate when I was zealous and you could tell when people were trying to fake it!

No other names changed. I always thought this to be the start of other reorganisational changes. I thought there may become Circuit Co-ordinators and so on.
We went through a similar change at work about 15 years ago; Managers became Unit Co-ordinators, Senior Managers became Area Co-ordinators and so on.
Probably just to get rid of the term 'Presiding' so he didn't think he was superior to the other elders.
