    My credentials are bigger than your credentials- or so say the FDS.

    The WT forgot one other "credential": The ability to fabricate long lists of idiotic, fallacious "credentials".

    Some of the credentials sound like the credits for minor characters in a weird movie, like "Man clothed in linen". Anyway, this is truly the height of antitype madness. We have Fred Franz to thank for this insanity.

    I remember a study article much like that more like 20-25 years ago. Although a good dub at the time, I still thought it was wierd.

    Wait. Can someone explain this post to me. I'm sorry for being a little dense but I just do not get it.

    The Society was saying that these are all of the places that the F&DS is found in Scripture, so it's Okay™, you can Trust™ them as your spiritual leaders.

    Amusing side note: the preamble to the list also uses "anointed remnant" to refer to the F&DS, so I don't know which of these scriptures apply to which group now that they are separate (or one is within the other).
