The WTS will have to come up with some thing like to pacify the R&F in the near future.
Narkissos said:
What they have in mind is "God's spirit-directed organization," no matter how it works. In the end no authority can be "justified" without a circular reasoning.

The WTS has already discussed the eventuality that the anointed (not just the GB) will soon die and join Jesus in heaven. They say they have been training men of the other sheep persuasion to take over at Bethel when they are gone. That is why they switched all the administrative staff in the legal corporations to men of the other sheep in 2000.
Possibly one spin they could put on it after all the "FDS™ have all died off is how special and privileged Jehovah's people have been to even have had them in their presence if only for a short time, now we must continue on knowing they are directing HIS organization from the heavens.
New spin, same 'ol same 'ol, waiting on Jehovah.

The question I have is do all the anointed have to have died and be in heaven when the marriage of the Lamb takes place as the WTS says, shortly after Babylon the Great is destroyed and the great tribulation begins. That would mean that several of the GB and other anointed will have to die long before they would naturally......or else the end is another 50 years away when the new GB appointees die naturally.Good question, oh what a tangled web we weave.......
