A Circuit Overseer is:
"a no-body, a real world drop-out, a power hungry big fish in a very small bowl that means nothing in the real world"
Couldnt resist...

They are the functional part of the "Org-topus" which is responsible for carrying out the dirty work now - the suckers!
And now they ALL realize how tenuous their "life-long" commission really is with Mother sacking so many!

A Bethel version of 'Commanding Officer'. You know, for FEMA, come JW round up. L-ders are the Lieutenants. The GB is a sort of good old boy Pied Piper collective guidance system. JW, just waiting.

I was 6 years in the military before becoming a dub. Unless I am specifically talking about JW stuff, my mind automatically thinks of "commanding officer" when I hear "C. O." (SEE OH)

To me the C.O visits are like remember when you watch the first two star wars movies and you think Darth Vader is the biggest prick in the galaxy , then you watch ‘”Return of the Jedi” and realize the emperor is an a bigger dick than Darth Vader.
That is kind of how I think the Elder /C.O relationship is, right down to getting the Kingdom Hall cleaned up is Darth Vader rushing to get the Death Star operational for the Emperors visit.
