Just spoke to an elder at the carts, whilst discussing the gb (faithful slave) he informs me they are nowpart of the 'domestics'? Anyone have any 'new light' on this?
they changed it a year ago

The wt keeps chopping and changing things in order to make themselves feel important. Frankly I think they have run utterly out of ideas but no-one can see it (apart from us here)

The 7 or 8 are the slave when together (on Wednesdays) but the domestics individually. Alway was like that; when Fred Franz had his new wt mag on his bed, he was being served spiritual food by the slave.
It is like the 144 ooo & 24 elders singing to themselves in Revelation. A multiple, overlapping monologue .

When the individuals on the Governing Body meet collectively and decide doctrine, they are the 'Faithful Slave' serving food at the proper time.
When the individual members are not collectively meeting as the 'Faithful Slave' then they become domestics receiving 'food at the proper time'.
It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase: 'self-serving individuals.'

Yeah, that came out 3-4 years ago.
Old light: the "faithful and discreet slave" is all of the thousands of "anointed" JWs on earth. Also, the "domestics" are the same group as the "faithful and discreet slave"
New light: The "faithful and discreet slave" is just the 8 WT popes, er, GB members. The "domestics" are all JWs, including "non-anointed" JWs.
This mundane, banal, meaningless information was swooned over with near apocalyptic joy by JWs....and then promptly forgotten about. Probably not 20% of JWs could explain it to you now.

Sir -This mundane, banal, meaningless information
Yes. A very apt description of their asinine self aggrandising bullschlacken.
The Governing body change meanings to gain power and cash whenever there is a way.

So anytime you happen to meet one of the magnificent eight, he's going to be just an average joe on the street. Wouldn't it be just funny if a clueless "JW" met one and went on and on how he's just one of the guys without the rest of the "Anointed?"

Thanks for replies... So my take is, operating together as 'the slave ' to dispense the'new light' fodder they are not the domestics but as individuals they come under their own direction as a domestic.... It's all so clear now. This elder says this change was a year ago,he still insists that even as 'the slave' they are still domestics.On another point re' false predictions he dismisses deut'18 because it's old law and he justifies it by saying "well I don't recognise the sabbath " oh well take a horse to water.....
