Produktbeschreibung
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses is the supreme ruling council of Jehovah's Witnesses based in Brooklyn, New York that assumes responsibility for formulating policy and doctrines, producing material for publications and conventions, administering its worldwide branch office staff and directing the activities of all members of the religion. The Governing Body is described as the representative and "spokesman" for God's "faithful and discreet slave class" (the approximately 10,800 remaining "anointed" Jehovah's Witnesses), although in practice it seeks neither advice nor approval from any "anointed" Witnesses other than high-ranking members at Brooklyn Bethel when formulating policy and doctrines or when producing material for publications and conventions. Its size has varied, with as many as eighteen members from 1974 to 1980, but since 2007 it has comprised nine members, all of whom claim to be of the "anointed" class with a hope of heavenly life. Its membership is unelected; existing members invite new members to join the body.
