Why is it that in the GB there are mostly men of German descent?

    Or maybe some are Austrian?

    I’m not trying to offend any German people that may be on this board and if I did I apologize because that was not my intent. But I do think that some do have a need to be in control. It’s an honest (but maybe stupid) question.

    Gerrit Losch: Austrian -okay-not German

    Albert Schroeder

    Karl Klein

    Milton Henschel

    Frederick Franz

    Nathan Knorr

    Raymond Franz - until he was disfellowshipped

    I read the book "Thirty Years a Watchtower Slave" by William Schnell. I understand that he helped structure the organization in Germany during the 40's? I don’t have the book on me (a friend borrowed it) and I read it quite a while ago. You know with age, you begin to forget things.

    Wow. We're really scraping the bottom of the question barrell here, aren't we! LOL

    First off, there have been more than a few GB members who were not German. Ted Jaracz isn't German, he's Polish. So is Dan Sydlic. Let's be honest, Germany is a big country who had a LOT of people emmigrate to the US. Usually, first or second generation eastern Europeans are on the conservative side (just ask my mother) so it would not be a shock to find many Germans, Poles, Austrians and the like on the GB. Connect the dots.

    In Canada, nearly everybody is from somewhere else. I think you make too much about origins. I am curious, though, how many of the GB came from Canada?

    And what would be the alternative? More (American) Indians?

    As they run out, I guess they are wondering "just where" they are going to come from!!!

    How about the two lovebirds.....Greenlees and Chitty?

    Anyone know what decent they were?

    I'm pretty sure Rutherford was a assholian.

    A better question would be Why are they mostly, if not all Americans? If God chose them to be a worldwide religion, why aren't they represented by having a GB made up of worldwide citizens?
