Is the governing body of Jehovah's Witnesses REALLY the "faithful and discreet slave" of Matt. 24:45-47?

    As the Bible says , the faithful slave is found at headquarters in New York and if you don't believe in them, regardless of your faith in Christ, you will be eternally destroyed at Armageddon.

    This video proves it.

    Witness 007: Rutherford bought a mansion for Moses and David

    The WTS bought the mansion for the 'worthies' who would soon take possession of it. In the meantime, Rutherford wanted to make sure it was kept tidy and neat, and so he spent quite a bit of time visiting there. I wonder if the two expensive cars the WTS bought (and that Rutherford made liberal use of) were for Moses and David to drive around in and pick up girls. I kind of feel bad for those old time greats; they will finally arrive and learn that their house was sold off and the cars were either scrapped or became museum pieces.

    Maybe the WTS can buy them Teslas!

    The Watchtowers "Slave" was appointed in 1919, but was, until recently "all the anointed as a class" (a lot of dis-appointed at that time of change). So,

    the first century "governing body" was not part of the F&DS. but

    Wt should follow that pattern, to re-create the divinely approved setup, therefore

    recognize that outside contributors (like Paul) have more insight, inspiration, than wt writers themselves. Even,

    if like the Apostle Peter, they find "apostate writings" hard to understand, because of blinkers.

    First century divine pattern: majority of relevant doctrine was written outside "Headquarters". Probably

    still is, because a lot of "new Light" came because of the untenable positions were pointed out to them.

    Why does it matter? Why does anyone ever care?

    They like to focus on those words of Jesus but your caring about that gives them the power.

    Just ignore that scripture and their power is gone.

    We don’t know. That’s why the question is asked in the Bible: “Who really is..? Only one that can answer that is JC. The liked Marvin Shilmer posted that they don’t even know because for many decades gb professed that all of the anointed was fds but now it it is only the gb, the rest of the anointed never was and insnt fds. However, we @ JW believe that the gb was and is fds.

    or some claim that, but as one of the wt F&DS members said in Australia : " It would be presumptuous to say that Wt is the sole channel used by god ", or words to that effect.

    It is easy to blame the deity for wt's failings, flailing. wt doctrine is: the wt was appointed in 1919 to be the fds, given all the monopoly authority to feed the domestics. You pay with your life if you doubt or disagree.

    Wt includes all JW in this case not only the fds that God uses exclusively.

    you said it.

    wt has turned millions into false prophets, by making them repeat all the false teachings in the d2d and other ministry features.

    Can think of the stink of the "Superior Authorities" debacle, shame on us. and

    dragging the holy name down with it

    When I try to explain that to my bible study group, they look incredulous at me…..which just about sums up how ridiculous the teaching is but scary to think we once believed it.

    if you don't believe in them, regardless of your faith in Christ,

    That doesn’t truly represent the faith because WT publishes it can be wrong admitting human error in interpreting the Bible. It stands to reason then that wt does not teach damnation standing on belief in wt error.

    Think of an approach to study the Scriptures like solving a crossword puzzle where everyone agrees to solve the puzzle together and abide by the same rules. If you don’t, you are not part of the group.

    Also, if you don’t agree with the way of JW and believe in a better way, you answer to God not to JW. Pursue what ever way one likes. JW are happy with their way and approach to study and understanding the Bible and living compared to the standard Jesus gave.
