A genuine question really.
Do they actually make desicions or are they simple sock puppets for the lawyers?
Are they just a front (like the Queen is in the UK), with little or no desicion making input?
Do they just give talks and make appearances?
Do they even write those nauseating lies that they 'love the brothers(tm)'?
....well you get my drift.....I think.
jwsurvey just did an article where it lists various committees that the governing body are on.

alanv - Thanks. I will look at the link when I'm on a PC that doesn't block it (I am at work at the mo).
Seems to me they are making a lot of public appearances and trying to look like they are just "one of the boys". Unlettered and ordinary?

I noticed that in the songs there is one tiny mention of Jesus and then not by name . He really does get sidelined . In the hymns of Christendom Jesus gets as much press as Jehovah . Everything is to do with mind control isn't it .

I think a better question would be what DON'T they do? They are 7 men trying to spiritually feed 8 million people. No one is carrying a heavier load than they are.
DoC - Are they just a front? Indeed.
jhine - Worship of man ay!?
a watcher - A matter of opinion and confirmation bias methinks.
Figure heads and maybe have some power as to changing doctrine but sugested changes come from someonelse, these new guys are to stupid to come up with anything themselves.
A Watcher - My heart bleeds for them....
Punky , yes , if you are a JW
