Adding one doesn't mean we're going to lose one.  

Well, one day soon we will lose the remaining ones .....all at the same time!

I dont suppose we here can verify his DOB.

 

Perhaps you can tell us where you had the info from

[Portr3xian]

I think we can appreciate that the work load that these few men carry is tremendous! and their schedules are something insane, they are devoted in the fullest sense to Jehovah and his organisation. Honestly it was a surprise but not really a surprise (if you know what I mean) to have another brother appointed to the GB. And we can imagine like all big decisions taken, it was probably in the pipeline for months if not years already. We can imagine that they have been deliberating this and asking for Jehovah's direction in this matter for some time already. We saw what an asset bro Sanderson proved to be with dealing with the whole Russia issue, and no doubt Jehovah has plans for this brother too. I would also imagine that the older members of the body would be pleased with this, as I am sure their health does limit what they are able to do, as compared to say 10 or 20 years ago.

It is good news ..there is tremendous amount of work, they are doubling and tripling up on responsibilities..  I would love to see another 10 more so that they can share the load, the older you get the less vitality you have..

Also, I wonder if they will replace bro Cook with someone else to make it 6 again on the writing committee?!  :-)

 

I doesn't mean there will be any less than 6 on the Writing Committee now. He will likely still be on that committee. I believe Brother Splane is on the Writing Committee also, which would mean there are more than 6. It's just that the list on committee members here (dated March 2016) includes only the "helpers," not those on the Governing Body.

Ahh thanks for the clarification! Didn’t know that... :-)

JUst to clarify. The helpers are not members of the committees. They are helpers to the committees.

It just gives us some information about the brother. Getting to know him.
It's a common question where many brothers 'n sisters would've asked him personally.

Find it interesting that there is such a big gab between the German and the English list of helpers:

 

https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/governing-body/

 

https://www.jw.org/de/jehovas-zeugen/haeufig-gestellte-fragen/leitende-koerperschaft/

 

Is the German list much older or much newer?

Br. Cook is missing in the German list. So I assume it is the updated version? But that's strange because usually all the English stuff is getting updated

I would probably have arranged them in a slightly different order:

I like that one a little better!  

“Jackson Lett Morris Cook” - amazing that just those 4 names can make a complete sentence.

The German list is not up to date.  You can see this fact by comparing the current English list with the original English list, which was first published in the Oct 2015 WT:

“Keep Holding Men of That Sort Dear” (w15 10/15 p. 3)
