i remember being asked about whether or not I believe that God is using the faithful and discreet slave class today, and that the fds is the governing body of the society or something like that. So,,,, I told them I have been researching it, and have found no proof from anyone about it other than their sayso so if they have more proof I would sure like to have it so that it could solidify my belief structure and ensure more belief in the society. They as usual were a little bit set back from this, and quickly changed tactics, w/o answering my question. So I went rigfht back to it, other than the society's say so, what proof exists that they are that Faithful and discreet Slave they talk so much about being? Again, there was no real respone, other than to say that the society knows they are, and their growth shows that, So I told them that Scientology started in the late 50's early 60's and now has 10,000,000 members. How can we say that growth is an indicator of Jehovah's blessing when after 131 years or so we only have 6 million plus members, and yet this religion only 40 years or so and they have 10 million members, who is really being blessed by Jehovah here? You could have heard a pin drop in a deep carpet it was so quiet. They again tried to change the subject and I let them. They went to Matt. about teacfhing and baptizing in the name of the father, son, and holy (oops excuse me) gods active force and didnt I believe that this was a commission from God for us to go out in service. I replied no it wasnt, as that commission was only given to the 11 apostles still existing at that time, and that they should read all of that chapter of the bible and not just a verse or two. So i asked them a question, if Jesus said that all nations would see him arriving on the clouds, in Matt and Rev, why do they say that he would had arrived invisibly?? Who is going to have it right Jesus or the Society????? They left shortly there after and of course couldnt satisfactorily answer the question.
