Originally the Governing Body consisted of the Watch Tower Society President and the other six members of the board of directors. The board of directors submitted to the President and handled administrative tasks, and the President had the final say in doctrinal and organizational matters.
In 1971, the arrangement was slightly changed by having more elders who were not members of the board of directors join the Governing Body and have a say in doctrinal matters, though they were still submitted to the authority of the Watch Tower Society President.
In 1976, the authority shifted from one man (the WT President) to the collective ruling of the Governing Body.
Finally in 2000, the Governing Body separated from the Watch Tower Society board of directors, which is why today the Watch Tower Society President (currently brother Robert Ciranko) is not a member of the Governing Body. The Governing Body can now solely focus on spiritual matters and leave administrative matters to the board of directors.

At work today it was discovered that we’re having thanksgiving and christmas lunches. The company is also gonna give people something extra for thanksgiving (maybe money idk). I let my supervisor know I dont do holidays despite knowing i could be missing out on extra money if they wanted to do that, like a “if she dont celebrate we wont give her extra” type of thing. Its kinda my first time as a witness having to decline holiday fiascos at a job.
