Don't you mean that they requested that the "Brothers" pray to the Governing Body?
It seems more likely in view of the recent Watchtower mags...

Not yet. Currently we folow Jesus by following the Governing Body, and we are the F&DS' friends since Jesus is only the mediator for them. The great crowd is still allowed to pray through Jesus' name to Jehovah.

Jesus is the mediator between God and men, not between God and the FDS. Unless there's a scripture for that somewhere that I missed?

*** w54 10/15 p. 622 Why Prayers Go Unanswered ***
Now what does it mean to pray in the right manner? First of all it means to approach Jehovah in the name of Christ Jesus, who the Bible says is the "one mediator between God and men." So can one expect an answer to his prayer if he does not ask it in Jesus' name? Said the Son of God himself: "No one comes to the Father except through me." Since Christ is the only mediator, the "one mediator," there can be no more mediators between God and men.I am so confused

Somebody ought to pray for them because God ain't listening to their own prayers to Him. In fact, God's ignored them for 120 years and counting. Unless God answered their pleas for self-worship, glory and money, that is.
So, I'll pray:
"Dear God,
"Please protect your flock from those thieving, lying, murderous, child-abuser protecting, block-sucking, evil bastards."
"Amen."
There. I prayed.

Although I'm not a JW, I certainly don't hold anything against those who wish to believe. In these troubled times, I pray for the leaders of all churches. We certainly need these people to be making the right decisions and to be increasing in knowledge and wisdom. I see nothing wrong with praying for the Governing Body, and I think our prayers should be with them, especially when it comes to their making the right decisions.

No use praying for them. It's all a lost cause anyway...
