They came to Greece and gave a talk.I don't remember their names but they were definately Americans and the one Italian something I think.The one was about 50-55 years old and the other guy was about 70+ bald and had some tufts of hair on his head and his voice was very strict,robotic,tending to be high pitched and the latter told us that we have to respect elders and the org's rules without questioning.They were NOT GB members but they are something like the touring GB.I remember faces.If you have pics post them.Does anyone here know them?Are there many COs?

Are there many COs?
There is 1 CO for every 20 congregations, approximately.
There are 100,000+ congregations worldwide, so there are 5000+ COs worldwide.
There are maybe 12,000 or so congregations in the US, so there are around 600 COs based in the USA.
Sorry, without more specific details it would be quite difficult to pinpoint who they were.

CO's don't travel from country to country. They stay within a circuit of about 20 congregations within a single branch.
As inquiryMan said Zone overseers travel (under the management of the service department in Brooklyn) to different branches.

Mercantes(this really how his name is spelled?) is a name I haven't heard since I was a teenager. If he's the same guy I remember, he's made it in the big leagues I guess now. Nice guy from what I remember of him, and what my father said about him. I could have him misconstrued with someone else, but the WT/JW world isn't but so big.
