Praise Jah for this wondrous development! We must keep up with his eye-balled chariot!

Guys, guys...why are we trying to decide on an acronym for this? We need to wait on Jehovah, who thru his earlthy channel will reveal to us exactly what we are to call this new position. Let's not run ahead here.

The Watchtower certainly loves to play semantical word-play. This name change is a distinction without a difference. I am wondering when the Governing Body will rename themselves the Coordinating Body. Jesus could be referred to as the coordinator of the Christian Congregation, and Jehovah could be re-sold as the "Great Coordinator". All Jehovah's Witnesses would thus subject themselves to the "coordination arrangement".

Here is the next Watchtower study article: "Beware of this uncoordinated system of things with Satan the Devil; the Great Anti-Coordinator".

Well, kick my bummy and call me Lummy!

What hypocrisy.

Something from The Message Bible that merits our (and their) consideration:

Matthew 23:8 -10 "Don't let people do that to you, put you on a pedestal like that. You all have a single Teacher, and you are all classmates. Don't set people up as experts over your life, letting them tell you what to do. Save that authority for God; let him tell you what to do. No one else should carry the title of 'Father'; you have only one Father, and he's in heaven. And don't let people maneuver you into taking charge of them. There is only one Life-Leader for you and them—Christ.

11 -12 "Do you want to stand out? Then step down. Be a servant. If you puff yourself up, you'll get the wind knocked out of you. But if you're content to simply be yourself, your life will count for plenty.

Has anybody pointed out that the term "Presiding" is of course Scriptural, no matter what the Borg say in their letters :

(Romans 12:6-8) . . .Since, then, we have gifts differing according to the undeserved kindness given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the faith proportioned [to us]; 7 or a ministry, [let us be] at this ministry; or he that teaches, [let him be] at his teaching; 8 or he that exhorts, [let him be] at his exhortation; he that distributes, [let him do it] with liberality; he that PRESIDES, [let him do it] in real earnest; he that shows mercy, [let him do it] with cheerfulness.
