The GB of today sure hates Charles Taze Russell
by Eustace inthe whole concept of the faithful and discreet slave in the jw religion goes back to charles taze russell and/or his followers calling him the faithful and wise servant.
how in the blue blazes can they say he wasn't part of the faithful and discreet slave?.
quite a demotion, it must be said, from the faithful and discreet slave in the flesh to not even being a part of something that rutherford's lowly henchmen on the board of directors got to be a part of!.

Annointed JW Website Responds to "New Light" on FDS
by Eustace inon october 7, 2012, we received the following comment and inquiries:.
today there is a new post [on another website] commenting on the "new light" of the governing body about the identity of the "faithful discreet slave.
" i think this "new light" from the governing body is intended to weaken the new stand of witnesses who are partaking in the emblems.

If the Governing Body are the Faithful and Discreet Slave, Could the Governing Body all die at once?
by Eustace ini'm thinking that if all the governing body members all died at once, it would disprove this whole "the governing body are the faithful and discreet slave" business once and for all.. the faithful and discreet slave, according to watchtower teaching, will continue to exist into the time of the end.
so if the governing body all die at once, that means they ain't the faithful and discreet slave.. they need more youngish gb members quick!.

is it really going to be that hard to ram this change down people's throats that they need to get all the elders all prepared and stuff?.

Bible School for Single Brothers
by Eustace ini heard through the grapevine that those who graduated the bible school for single brothers around the end of february have already gotten their assignments.. i thought they were usually given assignments only after about a year?.
also while in the past not every graduate of the bible school for single brothers was given an assignment, in this class all were given one.. this smells like a bait and switch to me.. what's going on?.

A Parable Relevant to Those Who Say We Should Wait on Jehovah
by Eustace inhint: the "drowning man" represents the jw hierarchy, and the men in the rowboat, moterboat, and helicopter represent those who complain about injustices ("in france, a former elder believed that he had been the victim of an injustice, and he became bitter...").. "the drowning man".
a fellow was stuck on his rooftop in a flood.
he was praying to god for help.. soon a man in a rowboat came by and the fellow shouted to the man on the roof, "jump in, i can save you.".

The difference between a religion, however strange, and a destructive cult
by Eustace ini think the difference has to do with ostracizing former members.
when a group does this, then whether or not they used "brainwashing" techniques to get peoplein, the people in have a tremendous amount of pressure being put on them to stay in no matter how badly they're treated.. the problem i face when it comes to studying this issue is that there is i'm having a hard time finding data on which groups do and do not ostracize former members.. here's a list of some groups i consider destructive cults with information on whether or not they ostracize former members in paranthesis:.
destructive cults.
