It is so weird that they ever made the distinction. Why would it have mattered?
In any case, did Fleegle and Winder hear the heavenly calling after their assignment? If so... didn't that raise any eyebrows at bethel?

Should Jehovah's Witnesses Trust the Governing Body?
by Vanderhoven7 inif there is evidence that jesus invisibly chose specific men at headquarters in brooklyn new york in 1919 to be his faithful slave and that mandate and ability passed on to future directors...then the answer might just be a resounding maybe.. what is the evidence for this invisible appointment and what is the evidence that this is just watchtower mythology?.
i hope jws like scholar and fisherman will explain why the trust the gb.. i must be honest, i see no evidence at all to put trust in either the 1919 selection or the current men taking the lead in warwick.

They sure do put a lot of emphasis on the authority of the "spirit-anointed" ones. But when they had to address the growing number of memorial participants, they explained that no one can know for sure who is truly anointed and who is just shamming or deluded. Why would anyone trust that the members of the governing body --men who have claimed for themselves the highest privilege-- aren't among the latter group?

Common sense on Jockland's gender Bill
by LoveUniHateExams innicola sturgeon's daft plan to introduce a gender bill which allows anyone aged 16 and over to legally change gender without a doctor's diagnosis of gender dysphoria has rightly been stopped by pm rishi sunak.. under the rules of devolvement, the uk government can overrule holyrood if the pm so chooses.. lots of predictable howling form the scotch nuts, with ridiculous claims that rishi is trying to organise a fight with holyrood.
of course, it's actually the other way round - the snp has been trying to pass this gender bill in order to drive a wedge between scotland and the rest of the uk.. sensibly, rishi has pulled rank on sturgeon and stopped her nonsense.. nicola sturgeon needs to know her place ....

So... gender is just a label, like your name? It can be changed by just signing a form and paying a fee?
Doesn't that discriminate against me, if I suddenly decide that I am a woman?

"We thank our heavenly Father, Jehovah, for raising up such faithful men to share in the work of the Governing Body."
The same Jehovah who oversaw the appointment of Raymond Franz?

Love - the Identifying Mark of Real Christians?
by LostintheFog1999 inthe jws are fond of quoting john 13:35 that love is the identifying mark of the true religion claiming that only they have this love among themselves.
they love each other.. i was reading the gospel of luke today and thought about the words of jesus luke 6:32-35 niv, “if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you?
even sinners love those who love them.

WT History Regarding Vaccination
by Ding infor those who don't know wt history regarding vaccinations, in the february 4, 1931 edition of the golden age, p. 293, the organization decreed, "vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that god made with noah after the flood.".
because of this jws and their children often faked vaccinations for school authorities and the like.
of course, this created serious problems for jws' health.. it also caused legal trouble for jws who were caught disobeying compulsory vaccination laws.

It's interesting to note that the WTS will frequently propose that rank and file JWs must be unconditionally loyal to the organization, even if they are facing mistreatment or even death. Yet the HQ has folded under governmental pressure numerous times and updated its policies when facing sanctions. Is this what Jehovah expects of His 'faithful and discreet slave'? The one who is managing His affairs on Earth until such time as He returns?
