Also, if they're demoting all DO's to CO's AND they unveil their plan to unvoluntarily "retire" COs at 70, how many DOs you think are near or over 70? I wouldn't be surprised if most were in their mid to late sixties, if not early 70s.
I think they just want to get rid of them entirely.
I understand that when Guy Pierce first heard the recommendation to get rid of the District Overseers, he exclaimed " OVER MY DEAD BODY !!!"
Here we are few days later and it's a done deal.
(a little joke...maybe to soon ??)
no not too soon
hilarious!!! :D
If this is true, surely it makes the possibility of a rogue CO more likely?
You remove a layer of management, it makes micro managing that much harder!
Thanks for the info. This is interesting.
It seems to sync up with news that the GB will be giving talks on Jumbotron or whatever. Less for DO's to do.
Perhaps they have a rationalization in this that they are simply returning to 1st Century conditions in which they had guys like Paul doing the circuits and the GB in Jerusalem ( in their view).
I gotta wonder however - when does this seemingly endless series of cutbacks conclude? If cost and liability are the motivation, then they still have to get C.O.'s off the payroll with some other scheme in mind. It's still a hierarchy with one less layer and I see that as a big potential problem.
If they are downsizing the assemblies/conventions ( as they seem to be, because the friends are broke) then that's one less money maker for them.
I can't imagine why they are so eager to build in upstate NY, given the circumstances. If this keeps up, they will be left with an Organization of 9 million or so that is little more than a largely broke and dependent lump. And with them pushing the "JW.ORG" site, why do they need publishers anyway?
It may get more radical yet.

I'll bet that the decrease in DO's and elderly CO's will NOT lead to a decrease in the yearly tax on the congregations/per publishers for supplying new cars for the CO's.
And the downsizing continues
And the downsizing continues
99.99% of the world's population don't even know what a District Overseer is
and
COULDN'T CARE LESS !
Good news. Glad some of the pompous DO's I've come across will be brought down a peg or too. Any Canadian remember Wayne Johnson?
