DOC - In more recent years the grandfatherly CO who is sincere in his belief that he is doing the Lord's work and helping the downtrodden is gone.
This is what I was thinking. The sincere though deluded CO's have gone. It was very noticeable from perhaps the 90's onward that there started to be an influx of new and very narcissistic type of CO. More 'company men' than loving 'shepherd(TM)'.
I wouldn't have given tuppence for the last few I knew before I left. In Elder's meetings they were absolute piggish bullies. Disgustingly morale destroying where 'hours(tm)' and 'contributions(tm)' were concerned.
They had no love. They were just Government benefits cheats and scroungers.
One of them even had the audacity to say, 'Can't you see what Jehovah(tm) is telling you?' as if he had a direct line to the god of the Watchtower(tm).
However, they loved the adulation from the sheeple. They preened themselves in front of the doting Jobo R&F(tm).
