I get told that nobody in the world works as hard as the members of the Governing Body.
Well this is PARTLY true. It should read: "..nobody in the world works as hard as the members of the Governing Body do, screwing up people's lives." I don't think anyone here would argue with that!
Their schedule of writing tasks, world travel and giving talks at Conventions and Assemblies is exhausting because it is never ending.
Oh pu-lease. Try comparing this "schedule" with what an average Dub does and there's no comparison. The average Dub's schedule is:
6:00am - get up, get ready and go leave for work by 7:15am at the latest depending on how far you comute to work
8:20 - 5:00pm - work
6:00pm arrive home from work, eat supper. If it's a meeting night, you get to eat, shower, change and leave for the meeting by 7:00pm
7:00pm - 9:30pm - Meeting
10:00pm - arrive home and go to bed.
This schedule doesn't even include the wife's schedule of all of the above, plus they have to find time to pay the bills, spend SOME time with the kids, grocery shop, do laundry, do housekeeping, prepare breakfasts, lunches and suppers..............the Governing Body are on Easy Street. Their meals are all made for them, their apartments are cleaned for them, their laundry is done for them, they don't have to commute to work, they don't have any family responsibilities, they don't have to worry about rent or mortgage payments, or heat, hydro or phone bills, they've all got fancy new cars that they don't have to pay for...........
They never have time to draw breath before their next assignment and their busy schedules would kill many people half their age.
and even if the GB's schedule WAS exhausting----who gives a damn? They're the ones who make up all the ridiculous schedules for ASSemblies; these are the guys that insist on 5 meetings a week all the time, so why on earth would anyone give a crap if they're tired?
