Yesterday, my wife told me about a comment someone mentioned at the meeting on Sunday. Supposedly, they said something about how the cardinals elect a new Pope with a 2/3rd's majority vote and that was funny considering the new Pope will be next to God himself. If God knew who he wanted, shouldn't the vote end up at 100%? Why isn't the Holy Spirit Ghost directing the cardinals as it does the Governing Body? Well, I just couldn't not say anything so I perked up and said, "Well you know that the GB also decides on new doctrines with a 2/3rd's vote too." She said, "How would you know that?" "Oh, I think I read about it somewhere."
I badly wanted to say, "Here, read this book written by an ex-GB member."
I think the comment made above at the hall just goes to show that there are quite a few witnesses who believe that the GB makes its decisions through prayer and such - that Jah is truly directing their steps. There's no way that witness would have made that comment if everyone knew the real truth.
