Why are none of the 'Governing Body' being summoned to any of the abuse commissions?

  I'm not sure if this has been covered but I'm wondering why none of the GB are being requested at or formally summoned to any of the Australian Abuse Commissions or other investigations that are taking place around the world? They after all are the ones single handedly responsible for making and enforcing all the rules that are the sole cause of all these abuses and problems.

  Why are they just keeping their silent distance and leaving all the ill-equipped and sadly incompetent local elders exposed to take the full public blast, criticism and humiliation for all that is now being brought out in these investigations? How are they seemingly able to sit cosy in their ivory tower immune and unaccountable?

  There is probably some corporate arrangement that covers them from responding directly. You may see the top Australian officials of the Australian branch being called in. I am not sure what it would take but for sure there is a way to get the GB there. It may just take an act of government or some sort of judicial proceeding in order to get them to show up.

  Link to the witness list. Some branch guys are on it. No GB.

  So Jesus said again: “Most truly I say to you, I am the door for the sheep. 8 All those who have come in place of me are thieves and plunderers; but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the door; whoever enters through me will be saved, and that one will go in and out and find pasturage. 10 The thief does not come unless it is to steal and slay and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it in abundance. 11 I am the fine shepherd; the fine shepherd surrenders his life in behalf of the sheep. 12 The hired man, who is not a shepherd and to whom the sheep do not belong, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and flees—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them— 13 because he is a hired man and does not care for the sheep. 14 I am the fine shepherd. I know my sheep and my sheep know me, 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I surrender my life in behalf of the sheep.
  - John 10:7-15

  Because they don't wanna go. But you would think with them receiving Jehovah's guidance that they would volunteer. Lol

  Probably because Jesus always had underlings who took his place at public inquiries/trials and...mmmm...errr...scratch that...

  Sadly, the GB have so little faith in their own "truth" that they are too afraid to stand up for their supposed beliefs. I imagine that Jeehobo is hurt and bewildered by their actions.

  Aren't they proud of their bible-based policies and procedures?!? Shouldn't they long to be hailed before "Governors", executed by the "sword" for their faith if necessary? Where is the undying loyalty to Jeehoobidoob? How can just let his name be dragged through the mud?

  Surely the GB won't allow ignorant worldlings to adopt a false view of Jeehoober?!?! How can they just watch this unfold from the safety of Warwick?

  There must be a logical explanation. Perhaps they are manning literature carts in un-assigned territory and don't have cell-phone or Internet service??
