forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

yes. can you imagine being in heaven with Jehovah, Jesus, and the angels after being a human on earth??

you couldn't be on the GB unless you were annointed, until recently

yeah, we're running out! time of the end and all.

ok, cause i thought he was the first bro appointed that wasn't annointed. i guess it was somebody after him

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001

thats Max Larson. He's actually still the president right now.

I see where the confusion is... the GB and the board of directors of the WTBTS were pretty much the same... but the GB gave up the legal dealings of the WTBTS to members of the Great Crowd. Yeah, Bro Larson is Great Crowd, he's president of the Society, but not on the Governing Body. The GB is made up of anointed, while the legal dealings of Jehovah's Oraganization are run by the Great Crowd...

I thought only anointed were appointed to the GB.. there are capable brothers of the Great Crowd who assist, but from what I understand only anointed brothers are on the GB.. if this changed, where is the reference? I must have missed it...

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

it was at the annual meeting either 1 or 2 years ago. I can't remember which.

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

I was at the annual meeting 1 1/2 years ago.. 2001... it was the meeting before that one that stated that members of the great crowd would be ASSISTING the GB... only anointed brothers are on the GB

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

the faitful and discreet slave is exclusively anointed brothers, not necesarily the governing body. Cuz eventually, there will be less and less anoinnted bros around, kinda like now

oh well never mind
