faithfull and discreet slave
by logic indoes anyone here know when the wts first declared itself the faithfull and discreet slave?
i know that they have said for sometime now they became such in 1919, but i need to know when they came to the 'realization' or hallucination that they were.
would greatly appreciate a watchtower article, etc.

Feed the Poor or Help the WT? (Mt 25:40 Christ's "Brothers")
by Open mind insome bible passages i can vaguely remember reading as child without the borg blinders on.
this would usually happen after a speaker introduced a single "proof text" verse in a talk and then i'd keep on reading in the bible instead of staying in sync with the borg software download.
(guess i was destined for "apostasy" .

by B_Deserter ini'm not talking about the stuff you hear at the kingdom hall, i'm talking about the "experiences" you were told of by people you knew.

Do JWs actually believe the things they're taught?
by R.F. inthe governing body has much control over the lives, thoughts, actions, etc..of many.
i was thinking of the "new light" policy and this gives the gb virtually unlimited power to do what they want.. take this for instance: we know how doctrines such as no trinity, no hellfire, and no immortal soul, are all considered the core beliefs that will never change.
lets just that today the gb just happens to reverse them all...what would happen?
