What has the Governing Body been doing for the past 9 years, now that they can concentrate more fully on the spiritual interests of god's people?

Any takers?
Gram, you related to anyone else we know? I'm thinking Noah-badboy here.

In all seriousness, the current position of Watchtower President is significantly different from the position as it was held by Franz and Henschel (and even farther away from the position as held by Russell and Rutherford).
Today, the WT president is merely the president of a corporation with no real say over doctrinal matters. He is not a member of the Governing Body. In fact, he is not even anointed. Rather, he is a pencil-pusher, bean-counter, etc.

The most recent thing I read on the GB in a Witchtower was that all of the members are annointed.

GB members still need to be anoined. The president does not need to be anointed, and is not.

Thank you everyone! You have answered my question. When I was in, it was so different. It was quite a thrill to have the Pres. speak at a major assembly/convention.
By the way, slimboyfat, what did you mean am I related to Noah Bad Boy? I don't think so. Please enlighten me. I must say that your name sounds like you may be a "Blues" lover. If so, so am I.

We have a member called badboy who is interested in Noah and his catchphrase is "any takers?"
