Just wondering - - - Who actually votes on changes in doctrine? Is it just the members of the governing body? Do they have another group of advisors? My JW husband recently informed me (during an argument about the same) that there are MANY, MANY people involved in making these decisions - not just the GB. I always thought it was the governing body members who voted on it. Does anyone out there know?
Who Makes The Rules?????

Hi, Worldlygirl,
I have been out of the borg for a while, but I think I can safely say the rank and file members are NEVER given a vote in the "rules". The WTS issues edicts, and everyone had better follow them or else! I would venture to say that if the society were more "democratic" in their rule making, a lot of people would not have felt the need to leave.

Read Ray Franz book, 'Crisis of Conscience. It covers this very question. Maverick
