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?.
I had heard that before Clarity but didnt have names to put to the scenario so thank you for that.
I am starting a document of things I want to keep for that fun day when I talk to my brother (hes a missionary with the extremely narrow range of thinking that you would expect to go along with that) and try to make my case.
I am not rushing it. I want to be prepared.
just happy to be alive....can barely move ☺.. a girl who just got her license , and a new suv....thought it might be cool to pass the person in front of her....at a curve......on a two way road!!!!!😠😠😠.
very mad puppy.
I signed off last night and you were headed to the E.R. !!
So.......coffee in hand, this was my first stop this morning to see how that went for you.
I am glad you are home...being sent home is good.
The funny thing about your type of accident is the bangs and bruises (and hematomas) are MORE painful than a simple broken bone.
remember...rest, ice, elevation, whiskey.....
I added the last one ...(FYI)
this is my first post.
i really feel i need to leave the jw's rather than go along pretending everything is perfect etc.
no friends, me at work.
Hi Pale Emporer,
Im glad you are here now. You are among true and good people.
I can see that you are true and good also.

What got me started thinking about this was the whole process of picking a justice for the supreme court.
In the U.S. (for those of you who live in saner countries) there is a whole huge jockying for position going on in the U.S. over picking another person to serve on the Supreme Court.
The choice of this person carries a lot of ramifications.
So as it relates to the GB...they pick their own successors.
Is this a unanimous vote?
Are there any outside voters?
Do the Adams brothers get to vote for instance?

In the old days, without him knowing about it, they used to put a Bound Volume of the years Watchtowers under a stack of mattresses and have the potential candidate sleep on it (princess and the pea style). If he couldn't sleep that night, they knew he was GB material.
Nowadays with the CD's and all, I'm not sure how they go about it but I'm sure it's all very scientific.
LOL
Yes, Im sure it is all highly scientific (not).
So they need something bulky and useless to sleep on????
Hmmmm....
How about a written explanation of the overlapping generations?

Who picks the Governing Body?
They pick themselves
Sad but true....

It's a boys club. Look at the weirdos on the GB.
If I had my conspiricy hat on, I'd say that they are all sexual predators and they 'employ' (appoint), the one most likely to supply them fodder for their perverted needs. New GB members are another fellow member in their 'ring' of a certain type of pervert.
Personally, I have given up worrying about this stuff. however, that said, the GB should be held to account for the deaths and agony they've caused
I think you are right and with the tight parameters of membership in to the GB it functions a lot like politics....
that is what got me started thinking about this whole question actually...
Politics!
There doesnt seem to be much difference in religion and politics except politics is probably a cleaner sport.
(sarcasm intended)
Punk -I believe there is a germ of truth in what you are saying about sexual proclivities....................
I was thinking it was maybe one and the rest turn a blind eye.
