@I quit!
100% correct! I thought exactly this even as a child. Back decades ago, the Governing Body were seen as an anonymous, quiet, grandfatherly group of cloistered men chosen by Jehovah to carefully guide the Flock during the Last Days of this wicked system of things. AKA: "Faithful and Discreet."
Before the "Body of Elders" were coined, men taking the lead in the Congregations were seen and referred to as "Servants", there to help the Flock. That all changed when the Elder Body was formed and the titles of "Overseers" were given out.
In biblical times, "Overseers" were PUT OUT OVER the Israelite slaves to keep them in line by the Pharoahs. They were no friends of the hard-working slaves. This same type of arrangement was also found in the Nazi Concentration and Death Camps. There were Jews who betrayed their people to gain favor with the Nazi's in order to have some small amount of power and extra benefits, better living conditions, etc. But it basically came down to them being Overseers and snitches.
"If you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you are not allowed to criticize." < I'd say this fits the current Governing Body to a "T." So they're aren't a "Faithful and Discreet Slave." Far from it! They are a "Governing Body", ruling and Lording it out over the rank-n-file Sheeple as if they were Jesus Himself, which in a way, they are! They profess to be His "brothers", the ruling class 144,000 "Princes among men." Proof of this? ZERO! They're in charge because they SAY they are in charge!
All of this, while they poor-mouth and profess to be "humble servants." Jesus didn't have a pillow to rest his head upon, but the Gluttonous Bozo's show up on camera in fitted suits, Rolex watches, gold jewelry, french cuffed shirts with gold cuff links, and are treated like Popes wherever they go. Absolute Idolotry! I think even Ken Copeland or Jimmy Swagart would be envious of the "obeisance" that they are paid at each and every meeting and Convention.
So yeah, the bait-n-switch that they've managed to pull on the dumbass Sheeple is truly a sight to behold.
