A few of the new ones are not "annointed". They served for a bit as the "given ones". I knew most all of these GB members. I know a few of their secretaries etc. Carey Barber's wife is about 45 years his junior. I believe that Karl Klein was of the "annointed" then not then again maybe 20 or 30 years ago.
Who's left of the Governing Body?

Yizu (Gary),
: Isn't the GB supposed to maintain the 12 always even one dies?
No. They've had up to 18 members and now have 11, I believe.

Its not a big deal IMO. Folks can be 'nethinined' now. The GB will continue.

I know the WTBS changed some of its legal stats...but what happened to the Presidency when Henschel had a stroke? Did the stroke happen before or after the new restructuring?

tazmaniac, you are wrong. All are anointed. You must not confuse the GB members with the ones leading the various organizations or branches or legal depts or whatever. To be a GB member, you've got to be anointed. The "given ones" are assistants, but not members, and I think they have slowly disappeared and in stead emerged as leaders o fthe new organizations.
