"... there is really only one vote that counts ..."

... it would appear your presumed private "appeal" to be one of the "approved" Witnesses has been "accepted" only hours ago. With that accomplished, it really makes no difference what support you receive from anyone else.

The only question remaining is what will be required of you to maintain this "approved" position. Both now and in the future ...
