Welcome to the Board Nick.
Great post. I agree with you, it makes no sense.
These people claim to represent us all, and yet they have no interaction, no imput from the thousands around the globe who make up the so called 8000 or so, annointed.
I had no idea that Headquarters didn't keep a record, a name at the very least. That is news to me... Makes me wonder what role the annointed even play in the scheme of things, whats the point, other than their "Heavenly Calling".
I feel you are right, they should be organized, have meetings and pool their ideas and figure out as a group what is best for Jehovah's people. Maybe if it were that way, rules wouldn't be so harsh, there would be more understanding of each other.
Oh, and Women would also have some imput... (yeah right).
Again, Great Post
