So, it begs the question, if the entire body of annointed christians make up the Slave Class, then WHY do only 12 or so men of this class do so?

Cause they said so...?
They have to get a 2/3 majority to decide any issue anyway, imagine the teleconference bills from all 8,000 'anointed ones' ?!
There was an "anointed" sister in my hall, back when I was pioneering, Pre-Armageddon. We were "...not supposed to ask", but, I did... "So...do you get letters, phone calls n' stuff from the GB ? Asking your thoughts ? Do you submit articles ?
She looked kind of hurt and said, "No. In all these years...I've never even gotten a letter from the Society. The Elders don't let me attend any of their meetings. But, we have to 'wait on Jehovah', ya' know. ?" I don't know what she was thinking...she was just a mere woman.
And ...this anointed future "ruler over the earth" had to use a head-covering in front of ME... an un-baptised publisher, putting in pioneer hours. I could not say the prayer before Field Service one Saturday, cause there were no official brothers there. So, to say a prayer, she found a Kleenex and covered her head...I was just a mere man and I out-ranked her.
Btw...if all of the GB are listening in, on the other end of that "conduit" from God...why don't they all end up with the same shit in their ears ?
