The Brooklyn Bethel family were delighted to learn
on November 28 that the following brothers had been made members of the Governing
Body of Jehovah’s witnesses. These will now serve along with those who are
already serving in the Governing Body. The new members are as follows: W.
Lloyd Barry, who at present is branch overseer in Japan; John
C. Booth, who is working in the office at Watchtower Farm; Ewart
C. Chitty of London, England, who is secretary-treasurer of the
International Bible Students Association; Charles J. Fekel of
Brooklyn, New York, who works in the composition department of the Brooklyn
factory; Theodore Jaracz of the United States, who is serving as
a circuit overseer; Karl F. Klein of the Brooklyn Bethel, who
works in the office; Albert D. Schroeder, who has been serving as
an instructor of the Kingdom Ministry School; and Daniel Sydlik, who
works in the printing plant at Brooklyn Bethel. All these brothers will
eventually be living in the Bethel home in Brooklyn and will attend the regular
meetings of the Governing Body of Jehovah’s witnesses held on Wednesday
mornings at eight o’clock. They will also take their turns at the head of the
Bethel table in weekly rotation alphabetically according to last name.
The Governing Body is now composed of eighteen
members, all anointed, and the other ten are as follows: Frederick W. Franz,
Raymond V. Franz, George D. Gangas, Leo K. Greenlees, John O. Groh, Milton G.
Henschel, William K. Jackson, Nathan H. Knorr, Grant Suiter and Lyman A.
Swingle.
