GB members were not and are not limited to 12 members (that's the Mormons who have only 12 members on their apostle board).
There have been as many as 17 GB members at one time. "Qualified" anointed male jws are decreasing in number.
I don't know about 17 members of the GB, all I said was when I left there were 12. I don'l know anything about the structure of the Mormons, because I was never involved with them.
Tameria2001, here is a photo of the Governing Body (tm) from the mid 1970's when it was composed of 17 members; as Blondie rightly pointed out. All these men have long since died.
Half Banana, I loved your reasoning.
" When Did the Governing Body go from 12 to 7 Members ? "
When they all started dying off. Couldn't find any " overlapping " governing body members to replace them
Will be interesting when only one is left.
Gargamel, I think if one more gb member dies, I would not be surprised if they will be discussing to add some few more new gb members just like they appointed Stephen Lett, Samuel Herd, David Splane and Guy Pierce to the gb in 1999.
Seven members are better than 17 or 12 , do the maths ,more $$$$$$ for each of us , when we head for the hills when the imaginary GT breaks out.

Sparky1 who is the GB member first on the top left in the grey 3 piece suit in that pic? I'm guessing Jaracz, but a complete lookylikey of the great British comedian Vic Reeves!
