    Is it so that the 10 members of the Governing Body have never been married or had any children at all in their lives? I find this astonishing if is true!

    According to the above link (which was posted by AK- Jeff in an earlier thread) which takes you to a youtube video clip, the ex JW lady in that interview makes that statement.

    Is this really the criteria you have to satisfy to become a member of the GB?

    Surely this cant be true?........

    Good question. I saw that too. I know that at least one of them is married - Steve Lett. I think Herd is too, though not sure of that.

    For sure, most if not all do not have children, as they usually get to that rank by a lifetime of pio, Co, Do service. I bet someone will know and let us know too.

    I think Albert D. Schroeder was this only one raising a kid. But most GB members are married (that is after Knorr married. But Fred Franz remained a bachelor (that is not the degree).

    Swingle also has a large family from young to old.

    The new GB members all have wives and children as well.

    I remember when I was still a wit and living in Missisuaga Ont, I was friends with a very prominent JW family there who often entertained Franz I believe it was, when he came to Georgetown. They would all laugh about how he was always telling the young brothers, "what do you want a woman for, they are just a bag of bones and a hank of hair". So funny right?
