  Who Picks The Governing Body?

  hey everyone,.

  just a simple straight forward question on exactly what the process is.

  if a gb member died tomorrow, do the remaining ones choose who gets to be next?.

  So, they have to be already saying they're anointed then?! Wow, very slim pickings... and only from crazy people who think they'll rule from the heavens. Kinda explains why they have seven dumbasses onboard!
  I wonder how many get to a position in New York and suddenly decide they are anointed...

  Good question...are these newly annointed already GB helpers or are they related to someone with influence already?

  When I say "with influence" I am thinking of someone like the Adams brothers...?

  Divergent, are we looking at auditions when we see broadcasts from GB Helpers?

  Divergent
  If one dies, the replacement would most likely be a Governing Body helper. Many "annointed" among these ones...

  Hello millie210,
  there is a constant eye on potentials - people who simply seem to be outstanding in some way - and they are quietly groomed without being told, although the news does tend to leak to them

  Hi to you Acts, so in what way would they be outstanding?

  The current GB appoints any new members. They're the very definition of self-appointed

  
  

  So in that case...how do more liberal ones ever get appointed? Or more deep thinkers (I realize I am opening myself up for great puns here)

  
  

  is i a case of "like" appointing like? If you are newly apponted and have an idea does a lack of seniority matter in any way?

  good question, wondering if any newbies are being considered ?

  
  

  I would imagine that answer is yes - given the age of some of them?

  
  

  freddo
  Pretty much yes. Just like an elders meeting where they say "Billy's good but his wife's a fruitloop; how about Cecil?" "Yeah, he won't rock the boat - two thirds in favour? Aye!"
  Except they don't have to ask the CO if it's OK!

  That would be funny (well it actually is very funny) if it werent the exact truth about how it really happens~

  I am guessing the whole thing is highly political but since they are such a rule and paperwork oriented bunch, I am assuming they have a procedure they follow?

  the little "bug" volkswagon drives out and clowns get out.

  A fresh start

  after the worst introduction i could ever make on the forum i would like to reintroduce myself and make a fresh start on the forum and hopefully over time i will be able to redeem myself.

  i have changed my user name which was over dramatic and ridiculous in the cold light of day but for transparency and to show i am not trying to hide anything i have adapted the original name and it now has a more positive feel.

  after reading a lot of posts on this forum i am feeling more optimistic about my future.

  Just a simple question.

  do you think it is easier for an elder to wake up to the wtbts because of the position he is in which gives him access to info that the rank & file would not be privy to, or do you think it would be harder for him to wake up because of all the prestige/power/admiration he receives as a result of being an elder, or does it come down to something else entirely?.

  I think it is easier for them to wake up but harder for them to leave.

  Great thread Sabin.
