[Bro_BT]

A brother mentioned to me that Anthony Morris has stepped down as a member of the Governing Body. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

I Herd that Losch had to Splane to Sanderson why they Lett Jackson Cook Morris Fleegle Winders than him...😂

Can somebody explain the “Morris Fleegle Winders than him” part of this funny English language pun?
 

I understand the “I heard that Loesch had to explain to Sanderson why they let Jackson cook…” portion, but I don’t get the last part?
 

(And yes, I’m aware that brother Morris is no longer GB, I just want to understand the play on words)

Does the lack of response mean that nobody else understands what the second half of this “sentence of names” pun means either?

It can be readjusted to

 

I HERD LOSCH 'SPANE to SANDERSON why JACKSON LETT FLEEGLE COOK WINDER.

 

All nine names are included this way. A mnemonic memory aid to get all the names.

Now THAT makes sense! Good one! Ha ha!

 

I just wasn’t getting the “Lett Jackson Cook Morris Fleegle Winders THAN HIM”? Not sure what I was missing? But your version’s much better!

Really, I had never thought about it that way before. 

Thank you.

Also, in March 2020, brother Lett assured us that "the events unfolding around us are making clearer than ever that we’re living in the final part of the last days. Undoubtedly the final part of the final part of the last days.  Shortly before the last day of the last days."

 

This gives me the energy and encouragement I need to push through the great tribulation.

Does anyone know the correct pronounciation of Bro. Winder's name..is it like  strong wind, or winding road, short letter 'i' or long letter 'i'

In the video, 2023 Governing Body Update #2, Brother Cook pronounced it as “win” of “wind.” i.e. /win/ not /wain/. Since the video had the direct interview with him, it’s quite safe to assume that is the correct pronounciation.

He gave a talk on the Gilead Graduation.  He was introduced by name.  They pronounced it as wind-der (like a blowing breeze...wind).

Thank you. I did watch those programs, the Update and the Gilead Graduation. But I wasn't focusing on the pronounciation of the name. Only when someone said to me that they didn't know which way it was said did I want to ask because I wondered about it previously myself.

You can re-watch that moment on the video.  It is at the 25:55 minute of Part 1 of the 152nd Class of Gilead Graduation.  Br. David Splane introduces the entire video but Br. Jackson is the host of the program. Fast forward to the 25:55 minute mark to hear Jeffery Winder's name spoken in his introduction.

I need that picture with the Governing Body members where everyone is at the table, but with the two newest members. I can't find her. Does anyone among the friends remember where this photo is, please?

Excellent! I didn't remember the last photo with everyone looking at the camera (from 2021). Thank you very much!

It's not technically a photo, it's a screenshot from the GB Update video - but it's not been 'photoshopped' so you can compare it with the above photos that have been photoshopped to place them in the same room.

Why does it seem like all anointed are white?

All Governing Body members are white except for one

I must admit, I'd enjoy seeing a bit more diversity on our Governing Body... but I know that everything is well in hand.  It's just a passing thought for me. ❤️ 

I do agree with you, on this one, but yes like you said everything is in place.
