Isn't the WT appointing those middle aged men to the Governing Body as off-beam as nominating the young John Roberts to the Superior Court?
The purpose of such appointments is clear. The higher powers want to ensure the longetivity of their agenda.
Here is an interesting quote:
Bush and Senate Republicans are pushing to confirm Roberts before the new court session that begins Oct. 3. Democrats cautioned against a rush to judgment now that Roberts is a candidate for chief justice and at age 50, could shape the court for decades.
"I would hope all senators, Republicans and Democrats, would ask very substantive questions because this is, after all, a lifetime position," said Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.http://msnbc.msn.com/ID/9209570
The WT is onboard with the rest.It is not a decision made by "holy spirit" it is a calculated business decision. They want to 'shape their organization for decades' by appointing their younger proteges to lifetime positions... Because they know their "urgent message" is bogus and that "this old system of things" is going to be around for a long time, with no end in sight.
