    No. This just happened in my congo and the sub collected all the info and had to send it to the CO for him to review.

    No is correct, he will give the CO all the info.

    Thanks, I also wondered about this. It's kind of a useless week isn't it, when a CO visit has no teeth?

    So he can recommend to Co then how long does it take?

    Well Poopie, that is a good question. The CO could be teaching somewhere in TinBukToo for six months and will come home to finally listen to his telephone messages. He may be teaching Pioneer school for 7 days, and then stop and serve an Isolated congregation and then return home to look at his messages. He may have Call Display on his phone and when he notices that the unimportant Sub CO is calling and choose not to talk to him until the next scheduled Assembly. But don't worry about all of this. Don't you know that appointments are made by Holy Spirit.

    Actually, it depends on who the Substitute CO is. I have personally seen one Sub CO who was also a Special Pioneer that appointed a Ministerial Servant in my old congregation. I really think that it depends on who he is, and how well he and or his family is connected.

    What's this??? Not all Sub CO's are equal? They need connections?

    How do you know which ones that is?

    Hmmm... "I feel that the force is strong with this one"

    Not sure what is up with the one Sub CO mentioned that appointed a ministerial servant, but the policy letters say no.
