    Carey Barber, born July 4th 1905 has almost made his century. Fred Franz came close at 99 years old, and he died around 1992.

    So what does Bro Barr get for his 100th birthday? Forget it - to him, turning 100 is "just another day." For others, it's a milestone.

    I wonder if he will get a telegram from the Queen, as he was born in England??

    It appears he has been in Bethel for 82 years. A lifetime of lies and deceit, even if he felt what he taught was true.

    All Governing Body members share a collective guilt, whether they are aware of it or not. Lies, deceit, mind control and manipulation of over 6,000,000 Jehovah's Witnesses over many decades.

    I don't know much about this brother. I think he made a few statements in the recent WT video, "Respect Jehovah's Authority".

    If anyone has any stories to share about him, let us know.

    In April 1923 starts working at Bethel, together with his twin brother Norman.

    In 1948 is appointed traveling overseer.

    In 1955 enters the 26th Gilead class, where he found Sydney Lee Brewer, a pioneer from Canada, with whom he marries on February 18, 1956. Appointed to circuit service in the Chicago Area, U.S.A.

    So, we have a multi-billion dollar corporation being run by a geriatric committee of men who, in all likelihood, need help with their bodiliy functions. And we wonder why they can't adjust to the internet.

    Every year this guy lives is another milestone marking just how wrong the wt has been. No new system, no ruling from heaven. Just here getting older. What a waste of a life. I wonder if he has ever reflected on this.

    Because most of the GB or near the age of dying should explain thier behavior in making policies and teachings. Most are not really interested in the welfare of the organization beyond thier own natural death.
