My wife and I have questioned that for three decades. Just think.. a woman back then who wasn't beautiful wouldn't have stood a chance of getting that position - even if she had been a really good person. Looks really do matter - contrary to what the org says. Kind of funny how the org and others can quote some Bible passages and make it seem that it's all about the inner person, yet other passages in the Bible show that the outer person is important, too. As I mentioned in an older topic (http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/bible/281209/1/Bibles-mention-of-physical-beauty-why#.VBY59aPD-ig), the Bible places great emphasis on physical beauty and physical ability, for example, explaining the exploits of David's mighty men, certain judges, Samson, etc.
