The body of elders should always base their
decisions on Bible principles and written direction
from "the faithful and discreet slave."
Does such a directive even make sense. "The faithful and discreet slave" by their own definition is made up of those of the anointed or 144,000 alive on earth today or the remnant. They have no identity as such and individually are at odds within the ranks of who should be viewed as such and many are even devalued to a status equal or lower than elders with the earthly hope. My eternal life can depend on my treatment of such because they are Christ's brothers and yet I see there status devalued by fellow brothers of Christ. So how then can there realistically be written direction from this group.
