a friend of mine has contacts to a family with several circuit overseers and special pioneers.
they have good connections to bethel.. he told me that the latest rumor from bethel states that the cos should be abolished in their present form.
they have also recently begun to take cos back to bethel.. over the same channel i have already heard of the car fleet program and that the dos should be abolished.. has anyone else already heard of it?
Not that I want the WTBTS to succeed but just applying a tad bit of organizational sense a City Servant with a bit of authority would be the lowest cost for any organizational oversight.
I know a guy that was named City Servant when this arrangement came to be. He very well can be a super-elder and take care of 10-15 congos a year. All on his own dime.

The value of the CO is that they provide an audit of the congregation from the perspective of the self-interests of the mothership. I don't think you can discount that, nor do I think that this function is easily replaced.
They can find super-elders on any circuit, men, power hungry that will enforce the WT rules onto congos without being "paid".

From my experience, this is a no-brainer:
CO don't do much for the congregations anyway, they just show up every 6 months and do not solve or give any insight to the BOEs. The only thing they do is report back the congo's activities to the branch, but they can achive the same thing using super-elders picked from each circuit that work regularly and visit an X amount of congo each year.
They already use super-elders for some pedo cases, PLUS they use some super-elders to even teach the Pioneer School along with CO, but that show they are willing to use elders to do things things that regularly CO used to do.
Biggest win-win for using super-elders instead of CO: No money drainers.
i think everyone has the freedom to protest, they also have freedom of speech, these are two fundamental things that make america amazing.
but thinking rationally about what is going on with the nfl, therefore, i have an unfavorable opinion of the league, and the players, not their right to free speech, but their motive and execution of it.
constitutional freedom to protest ends at the workplace door too.
tired of listening to your local elders giving the "special" talk ever year after the memorial?
well don't worry, as of next year we will be spicing things up for your enjoyment.. not only will we be having the talk before the memorial (i know, wild huh), but we will be treating you to the talk via video starring our famous speakers from bethel so you can see how a talk should be given (after all bethel does boast the best speakers in any country, right?!).
here's a copy of the text from our latest letter as i'm sure that with so much excitement you won't believe it at first!.
How in the world is anyone supposed to observe how something will be done next year?
Probably they meant 2017-2018 service year. Did not proof read their own stuff.

This.
september 6th, 2017: a just released research survey shows once again that jehovah's witnesses are among the least educated people in the united states: .
america’s changing religious identity.
it is also interesting to note how jws rank in the categories of: income, insurance coverage and homeownership.
That explains it all. Repulsive.
i'm honestly in awe about this particular scripture (and honestly i can't keep thanking jwfacts enough for providing biblical contradictions to the jw doctrine!).
"john said to him: "teacher, we saw a certain man expelling demons by the use of your name and we tried to prevent him, because he was not accompanying us.
" but jesus said: "do not try to prevent him, for there is no one that will do a powerful work on the basis of my name that will quickly be able to revile me; for he that is not against us is for us.
WT explanation: "That does not apply anymore. We have other rules now".

isnt nice to see the governing body being so humble, meek and not seeking their own importance?.
