    Someone mentioned here earlier that Thomas Sullivan resigned from the GB because of health issues one year before he died. But it seems he did not resign from the Governing Body. Instead he left his position in the Board of Directors of the Society in 1973. He was a member of the Board of Directors for 41 years (1932-73) but also a member of the GB for 4 years (1971-74). His memberships overlapped!

    inbetween, re the German website:

    In some other languages too, he is still mentioned as a member, so clearly they are still working on finding all the articles where he is mentioned. In the "Life Stories" section, he is deleted from the list of "Life Stories of Current Governing Body Members".

    w74 on Sullivan:

    On October 31, 1932, he was made a member of the board of directors of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania; he was also one of the eleven-member governing body of Jehovah’s witnesses.

    YB74 on Sullivan:

    At 10 o’clock the annual meeting of the Society was called to order by the president, and it was shown that 415 of the members, of the total membership of 427, were present either in person or by proxy. Then he informed those in attendance that Brother T. J. Sullivan, who has been a faithful and beloved brother and director of the Society for approximately forty years, had found it necessary to resign on September 5, 1973. This he did due to physical handicap, mainly his sight, failing health, and his age being eighty-five years. As Brother Sullivan wrote in his letter: “It seems beyond my physical capacity to meet the very heavy requirements of a director of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania. Under the circumstances therefore it seems entirely in accord with Jehovah’s will . . . that this resignation take place as soon as possible.” Brother Sullivan also wrote that he considered this privilege of service as director “one of the most joyful services which I have experienced since being associated with the Watch Tower Society.”

    A few weeks earlier the board of directors had accepted his resignation, so now it was necessary to recommend another director in his place. W. K. Jackson’s name was put in nomination. He was unanimously elected for a period of three years

    @ westiebilly11 - Everyone here is just "imperfect," the same as all the alleged "gifts in men" who indoctrinate, control, & punish anyone who questions them. Time for some payback!

    So this is all just over Tony being unable to stop buying lotto scratchers?
    That's a letdown

    Well, it's not that he's buying a scratch-off now and then... it's that he won, maybe big.

    Well, it's one of the most predictable human behaviors. Why wouldn't people be wondering and speculating, given the circumstances?

    Also... #TonyMorrisDidn'tDisfellowshipHimself

    I do hope most of his stuff has been saved somewhere before they delete it all.

    Especially the covid updates where he said the words GO GET VACCINATED

    And when he said that church said the vaccines are the work of the devil and are harmful 😂

    Looking back now you would have been better off part of that church following their direction not to be vaccinated than following fat Tony’s direction to go get fully vaccinated shocking but true

    are they going to delete all those covid updates too?

    the trouble is the internet is a forever machine and they can’t get away with trying to forgot what they said as they have tried with their written publications
