	In the Bible in discussing the debacle about circumcision in the early Christian community, the WTS states about what they consider the GB: w98 11/1 p. 5 How to Solve Problems Peacefully After a Scriptural discussion, the apostles and Jerusalem elders came "to a unanimous accord" not to burden uncircumcised believers unnecessarily but to admonish them "to keep abstaining from things sacrificed to idols and from blood and from things strangled and from fornication." Yet former Governing Body member Raymond Franz in his book Crisis of Conscience reveals how a virtual coup against third president Nathan Knorr resulted in a new process for determining doctrine, a two-thirds majority vote of the Governing Body now being required for any doctrinal change to take place. I notice that there is conveniently nothing in the WTS publications about this (if there is, tell me where, please). I have known for some through Bethel contacts that this was true. It is noteworthy that nothing appears in writing since it would make people wonder. Why did the 1st century GB do things unanimously and the current GB only needs a 2/3 vote. I do know that elder bodies are supposed to be nominally unanimous in their selections of elders and MS. I guess the other 1/3 weren't plugged into the holy spirit that day. Blondie
