My sibling raved about it.

How we need to "speed up" and "work harder"

but at the same time...not "tire out"

Speed up & work harder but not tire out??? That's hilarious!

millie210- That reminds me of pharoah ordering the Hebrews to make bricks without the straw being provided.

The WTS has said that eventually anointed candidates would phase out and the "helpers" would replace them. Many of the GB today were once "helpers." Perhaps they want to make them more visible.

*** w06 2/15 p. 28 par. 11 Walking in the Path of Increasing Light ***

The year 1992 saw still another refinement, one that is comparable to what happened after the Israelites and others returned from exile in Babylon. Back at that time, there were not a sufficient number of Levites to care for temple service. So non-Israelite Nethinim were given more to do in helping the Levites. Accordingly, to assist the faithful and discreet slave class in caring for its increasing earthly interests, in 1992 some of the “other sheep” received added service responsibilities. They were appointed as helpers to the Governing Body committees.—John 10:16.

*** w92 8/15 p. 30 Do You Remember? ***

Today, as the remnant of spiritual Israel on earth go on decreasing, the other sheep go on increasing. Some of these sheeplike ones, like the Nethinim and the sons of the servants of Solomon, have now been assigned weighty responsibilities under the oversight of the remnant. (Isaiah 61:5)—4/15, pages 16-17.

*** yb93 pp. 253-254 Organizing for Further Expansion ***

So, it was the time for another step to be taken to care for the anticipated further expansion of Jehovah’s organization. Thus, the following announcement appeared in the April 15, 1992, issue of The Watchtower.

“The members of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses, at present 12 in number, continue to serve faithfully in their assignments. They are always thankful to the loyal members of the increasing ‘great crowd’ for their zealous support. (Revelation 7:9, 15) In view of the tremendous increase worldwide, it seems appropriate at this time to provide the Governing Body with some additional assistance. Therefore it has been decided to invite several helpers, mainly from among the great crowd, to share in the meetings of [five] of the Governing Body Committees, that is, the Personnel, Publishing, Service, Teaching, and Writing Committees. Thus, the number attending the meetings of each of these committees will be increased to seven or eight. Under the direction of the Governing Body committee members, these assistants will take part in discussions and will carry out various assignments given them by the committee. This new arrangement goes into effect May 1, 1992.

“For many years now, the number of the remnant of anointed Witnesses has been decreasing, while the number of the great crowd has increased beyond our grandest expectations. (Isaiah 60:22) How we thank Jehovah for this marvelous expansion

One JW I spoke to felt Tony insulted the majority of JWs attending and was angry.

Another family member was stuned, hurt and dissapointed.

Balaamsass2, did they say specifically why?

It's interesting. This is the first and only time I can recall so many people openly saying the didn't agree with a GB member.

I love hearing this Balaam.

I know my family are diehards - they would be the last man out for sure...

but I am glad to hear what others are getting as feedback.

I was reading over on a pro JW site and one person said they didnt think this was much for a big meeting and there was not any verbal support but no one could say the poster was wrong either!

For a fair sized website its got very little posts on the subject.

You should see the gullible JW Facebook posts about how "encouraging" it was etc. LIARS! So glad I am making a way out of this cult now.
