"If you answer no they wrap up a JC in short order. I was wondering if any have tried to use a more pointed question to actually get them to think themselves."
You're trying to get the judge, jury, and executioner at a kangaroo court to think?
Nice idea; wrong, wrong venue.

There were some good answers on this thread
Personally, I feel that if the elders ask this question they're not interested in your reply. They've already made their mind up about you.

In it's entire past the F.D.S has been wrong on many points. I reserve my thoughts to see the outcome. Now there is doubt about who this really is. Do you know? Names.

The Watchtower Society no longer even pretend to know who the faithful and discreet slave is anymore.

I was asked this question when I met with elders. I said that I wasn't sure. I asked them how did they know that Jehovah was using the fds. One of them said that I would just have to take his word for it. I said that I was sorry, but I could not do that. i said that one day I would have to stand before my creator, and would have to answer for everything I said and did....and especially what I taught others. I said that I couldn't answer God by telling him that he would have to take that up with brother **** because I just took his word for it. I said that we are individually responsible for our actions.
They looked at me like i was from outer space. I can still remember the looks on their faces. Priceless

Coffee Black, that was awesome. Yes, it's like the time I told an Elder that I disagreed with him 100% on a subject that came up in my inquisitions, ( He said that the flock would not respect a Brother who was appointed who got slightly less hours that they did, and that the sheep need to be lead by us ) His face was a mixture of puzzlement and indignation. He is one of the influential Elders in the hall, a policy maker. It was awesome to see the look on his face. The worst he could do was take me off the microphone list.

We know what the questioner has in mind , the definition of F&DS = selected brothers in brooklyn/ patterson.
On this forum we also read the refutation of that claim and proofs.
But we know there MUST be uncontaminated spiritual food in due season given by the F&DS that Jesus talked about: so
Yes, obviously God is using the F&DS. (The one I know exist).
No more questions please. keep it simple.

Just Lie and say Yes. Otherwise they'll hang you in a JC Kangaroo Court.
