I think that the problem is that there is a governing body at all.
There is no problem, there is no evidence for a Watchtower inspired governing body at all.
Reading the scriptural record in Luke’s Acts of the Apostles we read that there was a dispute between the church of Antioch and the church in Jerusalem. Judaizers from Jerusalem had visited Antioch and sought to impose adherence to Judaizer compliance.
The church in Antioch sent Paul and Barnabas to the church in Jerusalem to seek a resolution.
The record in Acts clearly records what occurred.
The Watchtower Org (Borg) has distorted the NTrecord to reinforce their teaching of a governing body authorority.
The truth is that there never was a governing body.
Tony Morris has inherited a position that can only be traced back to the mid 2000’s; even the popes of Rome have more history!
