Jesus' parousia started in 1975, Governing Body selected as Faithful and Discreet Slave and Evil Slave dealt with by 1980, and Armageddon arrives in 2015?
by JWB injesus' parousia started in 1975, governing body selected as faithful and discreet slave and evil slave dealt with by 1980, armageddon arrives in 2015?.
it seems to me that some new light needs to be generated if the governing body (gb) of jws is to be considered as the faithful and discreet slave (fds).. .
(a) gb needs to be around as an entity when selected by jesus during his parousia.

Why Russell could not have been the faithful and discreet slave (from the standpoint of JW belief)
by JWB inwhy russell could not have been the faithful and discreet slave (from the standpoint of jw belief).
this thread was started in order to answer a question raised elsewhere about russell being the faithful and wise servant (aka fds).. .
the reason russell was originally considered the fds was that he taught 1874 as being the start of the parousia, with 1878 as the time that jesus began to reign proper.

Who are the "glorious ones"?
by JWB inwho are the "glorious ones"?.
* 'doxas' (greek strongs #1391) 'glories'/'glorious beings' (the new greek english interlinear new testament), or 'angels'.. .
daring, self-willed, they do not tremble at *glorious ones but speak abusively, whereas angels, although they are greater in strength and power, do not bring against them an accusation in abusive terms, [not doing so] out of respect for jehovah.
