Since I've been "out" for nearly a decade now. I was wondering...do any (or all) of the Governing Body of the WTBTS ever claimed to be one of the "annointed"? What does the GB body think, in line with their doctrine, that if this world goes in to a paradise and is not destroyed; What will the Governing Body's position be in this "new system". Are they going to be "stepping down" now that the "144,000" are ruling as kings and priests? Or...are they going to claim that the Governing Body will be "mediators" between people of the new system and the 144,000?(which in case, even by there tripe, there is absolutely no evidence of this...as in case with WTBTS<Jesus<Jehovah arrangement of theirs).
Now should the Governing Body believe that they are the "elect" or one of the "144,000". Should one not question that these mere men have a bit of an ego trip? That these are indeed men, who without absolute proof, are claiming to have this "annointed" status? Would one not be compelled to ask "Am I putting FAITH in what some other MAN (in this case, GB are all MEN, so I will refer hereafter with "men") is saying to me?". Are you not hesistant to ask "Could these men, be serving themselves, rather then what they preach?". Isn't it VERY CONVIENANT that these very MEN who claim being annointed...are going to be ruling as kings and priests...while the rest of the people are in the "peasant" role?
All I see here, is 12 old geezerz, who are so self absorbed with power...they have the balls to say "ME GREATER, YOU LESSER...Because we so, and we say God say so too. You know nothing, We know all."
Has your "Jehovah" told you personally that the Governing Body are in these "special" positions. Or was it an article written, directed, and produced by the Governing Body that said this? Scriptures can be manipulated to fit anyone's point of view, to back up any claim of opinion. What does "common sense" say to you who believe in what the Bible has to say?
