  Probably just enough to say "look there's one being built" when they close and sell ten others.

  I wonder if the taxes page gets filled in at "the CO school" depending which country the CO lives in?

  i was recently told that circit overseers must give up the position at age 70. is that true and if so, does the coordinator have to give up his position at age 70 also?

  CO's go at 70

  Sub-CO's at 80

  CoBE's at 80.

  Here's why.

  CO is retired at 70 (so no car, no medical no nuffin' for two older JW's - don't forget Mrs. CO goes too.)

  But he can still help out on his own dime as a Sub-CO for a few years and/or as a CBE. So if he is reasonably healthy he can be used in a struggling congo or circuit.

  If he isn't he can be put out to grass and forgotten about.

  I wonder what happens if Mrs. CO is a year or two older than hubby? Do they both get booted when she hits 70?

  Yeah "speaker ratings" is done every year by three elders and sent to the CO.

  The three elders were:

  Auxiliary Counselor (remember him?)

  School Overseer

  Coordinator

  I did it one year as the Aux. Counselor. You have to do this little dance when the one being reviewed leaves the room and the other two review him!

  Mind you I don't know which three do it now, what with the new meetings etc.

  Hang on Simon - what about the USA Catholics who didn't support NORAID?

  And what about Catholics and Protestants throughout the USA and Europe who hardly know where Northern Ireland is let alone the politics that go on there?

  RANT ON ...

  Click on PORTISHEAD in the first post. Read the expenditure column in the most recent 2015 return.

  £135,571 expenditure. Guess what that was for?

  OK. It was the money saved for a new hall. The money was sent to the London Branch.

  And the old hall that was shared with Clevedon is up for sale. Guess where that money will go? (Hundreds of thousands of pounds)

  And Portishead is now disbanded with it's publishers shared out among three nearby congregations.

  And Clevedon? Stuffed in with the Weston-super-Mare congregations as the 4th congregation, the poor relation forced to take over the graveyard meeting shifts of Saturdays and Mondays the other three "loving" congregations don't want.

  ----

  Click on MONMOUTH - now comes up as (Assimilated) Ross-on-Wye West. Another victim of closure and a hall gone.
  

  ---
  

  Click on CINDERFORD - nothing comes up! NADA. Disbanded, and spread to the four winds.
  

  
  

  ----

  Think of the faithful brothers and sisters in just these congregations who scrimped and saved in the 1950's, 60's, 70's and 80's who built their own halls to serve as their centres for pure worship until Armageddon came and transported them to paradise.

  Where are they now?

  Dead. In nursing homes. In wheelchairs. On sticks. Sitting in plastic macs with their flasks of hot drink at conventions with their white haired heads bobbing at the next round of lies and promises from the magnificent 7 living in their ivory towers checking the time on their Rolexes ...

  Well said Caedes.

  Terrorism in the British Isles.

  A question: "Were all USA Catholics supporting terrorism because NORAID supported the IRA who killed thousands in their bombing campaigns?"

  A wider question ""Not just USA Catholics but all "Christians" - were they supportive of these campaigns because the Protestant UDA/UFF killed hundreds too?""

  "Hopefully the size of the attack that happened in Pakistan doesn't make its way into European borders."

  Already has FMF - with routine regularity terrorist bombings and shootings have been in the newspapers since I delivered them as a kid and on the TV I watched from the black and white years onwards ...

  Here's a few of the more notorious ones.

  1974 Dublin and Monaghan 34 deaths ... 1980 Bologna Italy 85 deaths ... 1988 Scotland (Lockerbie) 243 deaths ... 1998 Northern Ireland Omagh 31 deaths ... 2004 Madrid 191 deaths ... 2005 London 56 deaths... 2011 Norway (Brevik) 77 deaths ... 2015 Paris 137 deaths.
