I want to follow on from what Billys said here. And, again, its to do with misapplied scripture. "You are my witnesses", we all know this one, but is it really applied to the wbts? I think, when jehovah spoke these words, he was speaking to a minority of Men that were used in declaring his words and judicial judgements against a somewhat unruly and wayward nation, and we learn in Hebrews 11 how these loyal witnesses were treated. These being part of what would make up the faithful slaves, they were sterling examples, and indeed a great cloud of witnesses to look up to. And in Matthew 23, Christ spoke how in the latter parts of the days he would raise up prophets and apostles that would call out the evils of the pharisees of the time we live in now, and how these would be like snakes that would bite them.
JWs say they are these witnesses of whom Jehovah is speaking of, but is that really so? For why would he use a people wayward and bad, and who prophesy falsely, and do all sorts of wicked things in his name? Jesus even said, that Jerusalem was the murderer and stoner of the prophets, and it hasnt changed that much. And Jesus said in Matthew 23 how the pharisees traverse land and sea to make converts like them, and when they do, make them twice as much a subject for gehenna-wouldnt you agree that the self appointed slave has done this today? and through the evil work of this very slave, the lie is perpetuated.
This faithful class are men outside of that ring, like Amos, who, in his own words, was ripped away from the sheepfold to do Gods work, these men are on the fringe, and these faithful and discreet men, are just that, faithful and discreet, and they call out Jehovahs judgements, but in a spirit of truth, and they will suffer for it.
The faithful slave, like the remnant of the 14400, they know who they are, and we are yet to see them rise as we go into the 7 year cycle time of tribulation, which becomes worse at the 2nd half, this being the great tribulation.
Robert King says that the forth coming King of Babylon conquers and destroys the holy ones? We know that the last two witnesses of this remant will be killed off, but Paul, in two places, even christ in Matt 24, tells us that some will still be alive just before Armageddon comes, but at the sounding of that last trumpet, both those asleep of this remnant, and those still alive, rise in an instant to Christ and to their thrones. And King, still encourages people to remain in the organisation????? really odd logic??
It may very well be that the 144000 and the Faithful and discreet class are two classes of servant, as the 144000 are sealed within seal 7 just before the destruction begins at trumpet 1, and the FDS is rewarded at the conclusion. The 144000 are heavenly, and the FDS appear to be earthly, and the true FDS may be the ones that lead 144000 to christs marriage, we still have to wait and see.
There are many faithful men on here, on this board, and you can see that in their writing and posts, people like former bethel man Billy, Jeff etc who, in the light of speaking truth have suffered needlessly, but believe me, your reward is great, and according to the opening chapters in Revelation, those who insulted you, those being in the congregation of Satan, those will be forced to come to you and bow down before you, just as the three false comforters, in the end, were forced to come and bow down before Job.
The remnant of the 144000 are here now, as are the FDS, and they know who they are, the bible is written especially for them, its just a matter of time in waiting for them to be activated and to show themselves.
Keep on the watch, stay awake, and dont be mislead.
I am sorry now I wasted so many years of my life, and sacraficed so much for this mob, but that was the wake up call, I am glad it happend, and a special note to chris (black sheep), dont worry, I am in no church, no desire to be a slave again of any man, for where the is no fear, there is only love, and besides, jesus said call no man on earth father, teacher, rabbi etc, for one master there is. So, I am ok chris, I am really glad, and not looking for a new Guv, or prison, for I have been there already, but like Christ, the last two prophets to come, will open the eyes of the blind, and set those that are held captive free, these are the true elijah that is to come before Jehovahs fear inspiring day, and not the wbts. These really will be the faithful and discreet servants of Jehovah, that stand before him and speak his word of truth and life, and who, according to Daniel, will act with insight and will lead may back to Jehovah.
Stay Blessed, remain safe.
