  This is a work in progress so let me postulate a few and then post your observations.

  I think when we examine this subject we will be able to understand how they picked this recent batch of new comers who can just about manage to even tie their shoe laces and clearly are almost complete idiots.

  I'm sure they test any GB hopefuls as to loyalty and courage to face pressure and make defenses for the corporation sound at least plausible and with in the limits of understanding imposed by the corporations edicts.

  I know Anthony Morris came from wealth and he mentioned in one of his talks that his aged father tried to warn him about giving money to the WT corporation and he said that what his dad didn't know was that he WAS the Society (he may have been trying to get some money from his wealthy dad to give to the corporation as sort of an investment in loyalty that would catapault him to GB stardom and who knows maybe even chief honcho.

  So I wonder can some buy their way to the top? After all it is a scam operation based on bullshit and all the members of the elite are money hungry if not for themselves then for their sock puppet Jehovah/Me.

  What say you?

  I think they are true believers that passed the test of not rocking the boat. I think Ted jaracz was instrumental in selecting them.

  They look for "Company Men"

  Company Men:

  noun

  1.an employee whose allegiance to his employer comes before personal beliefs or loyalty to fellow workers.

  
  Pure and simple.

  They are "company men" first, as has been answered.

  My theory is that the WTBTS isn't ran by the GB, but another corporation or group who probably owns other xian corporations. The handlers probably watch the candidates for GB very closely. Then, once the suitable drone/parrot is found, they make sure they have some dirt on them. Then they get "promoted" for life. That makes the GB mere tools to be discarded if they don't parrot what they are told.

  That's what I would do if I had the occasion to control a large segment of a population that was too ignorant to control itself. Set up a government, then allow "freedom of religion." Next, make sure the religion is xian. Finally, install figureheads that I could control.

  Just imagine if the WTBTS were part of a test of sorts. Some shadow organization could take in BILLIONS from JWism alone. If JWism were to fail over time, which it appears to be doing, you let it die. After all, there are thousands of sects to use as a tool for controlling the population.

  Like I said, it's a theory...

  They are devoted company men who are often found on their knees.

  DD, good theory, but if they have dirt on them, so does someone else. Better to get a not so bright company man who has no dirt, along with no intellectual inclinations, preferably no children, and one who isn't too fooled by any of this. Without true conviction or conscience but rather their looking for a good retirement situation and clout. They had guys who were intellectually curious. They had them with a conscience. That backfired. Some crazy visionaries with weird ideas, quite megalomaniac. . .these new guys are sometimes suspicious by their very stupidity-who couldd BE that stupid, right? Those guys got no where to go but the streets.

  I agree that they are no way in charge of anything but stupid deliveries of poorly thought out speeches.

  I really don't know how it works. I thought it was smoke out of a chimney when they find a bully that can get them the best child porn.

  Primarily "company men" as noted above.

  But that also highlights how & why the JW organization is stuck in a malaise with near-flat minimal growth, low morale, and cash flow issues.

  How do you get promoted in the JW organization? By your willingness to comply with the directives issued by your superiors. Obey, obey, obey, unhesitatingly and without regard to any pain or damage caused to other "sheep" in the organization, and your star rises.

  Obey, obey, obey, to get to be a sub-CO and then a CO. Obey, obey, obey, to get an invitation to Bethel. Obey obey, obey, and get selected to a prominent internal position. Obey, obey, obey, and become a GB helper. Obey, obey, obey, and voila! One day you are on the GB.

  But you see the problem? To get to that level, you must have (a) completely stifled your own creativity and flexibility for decades, and (b) actively worked to utterly squelch and even punish creativity and flexibility of those under you, again for decades.
  

  Now you're at the top and guess what? There is no one left to obey, but your own ability has completely atrophied.

  So what do we get? Dimbulbs who rant about tight pants and "spanx". Clowns who look like they are in a Red Skelton imitation contest. Astoundingly boring dullards who would put a coffee bean to sleep.

  You get to the top and you have no ability whatsoever to lead or even think creatively. So when you see a problem (e.g., 2/3 of JW kids leave), your "solution" is "hmmm, what can we do...I know! Let's write a magazine article! Maybe it didn't work the first 29 times, but I'm sure it will work the 30th time!"
