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?.

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

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.

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~
