  I think Don Adams* has been Pres for a while now, after that corporate shake-up thingy that happened about a year or so ago. Poor Uncle Milty didn't last long.

  *Not to be confused with Agent 86 Maxwell Smart.

  Yes, it is Don Adams. Seems to me he is a bussiness man.

  I wanted to share some announcements with you that were made at the
  Annual Meeting today. (sent by a Bethelite)

  The Governing Body has decided that the positions of President, Vice
  President, Secretary/Treasurer, etc. in the legal corporations (e.g.,
  Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania, Inc.; Watchtower
  Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc., etc.) do not have to be filled
  by anointed brothers. Therefore, all of the brothers that were currently
  holding these positions, all of whom were on the Governing Body, have
  resigned. Brothers of the other sheep have replaced them. Therefore,
  brother Don Adams is now the president of the Watch Tower Society.

  Quite a lengthy discussion was given as to the reason this was decided
  and why it's OK. Essentially, it boils down to the fact that this allows
  the Governing Body to step back and deal primarily with spiritual
  matters, while these brothers of the other sheep handle day-to-day
  business operations of the legal corporations.

  In addition, three new corporations have been formed:

  1) Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, which will supervise
  matters of a religious and educational nature. This includes organizing
  the preaching work, holding conventions, etc. The directors and officers
  of this corporation are primarily brothers who work closely with the
  Service department in Patterson. Brother William Van de Wall is the
  president of this corporation.

  2) Religious Order of Jehovah's Witnesses, which cares for matters
  pertaining to those in Special Full-Time service, including Bethelites,
  Special Pioneers, Traveling Overseers, etc. Brother Patrick LaFranca is
  the president of this corporation.

  3) Kingdom Support Services, Inc., which handles design & engineering of
  buildings and holds titles to vehicles used by the Society.

  Oh Don Adams (Maxwell Smart), I remember him, Get Smart in the late 60's ...... always fighting KAOS,

  should feel right at home with the Watchtower.

  The old trap 'em in the Kingdom Hall trick.

  No one noticed this little slip in the biography of Albert Schroeder?

  First he had the "earthly hope", but after his baptism, in July 24, 1932, in Vandercook Lake, he decided he wanted to be of the "anointed".

  He decided he wanted to be? Does anyone else not see the folly in that statement? He was not appointed, he simply changed his mind?

  LMAO
