Since Jehovah God and Jesus Christ completely trust the faithful and discreet slave, should we not do the same? After all, the slave has shown itself to be faithful in doing its assigned work. For example, the Watchtower magazine has been published for some 130 years.

Interestingly the faithful and discreet slave no longer believe what they themselves wrote as quoted above. The article implies that the fds were responsible for printing The Watchtower magazines for at least 130 years prior to 2009, which brings it back to 1879.
The fds currently claim they were appointed and first appeared in 1919, which was actually 90 years earlier to 2009. Also in 2009 the fds taught they were a class of people that were alive at all points of human history right back to the 1st century. They don't believe that anymore as well.
How can anyone, let alone jehovah or Jesus, completely trust the faithful and discreet when, evidently, they don't even know who they are themselves.
On the other hand, jehovah and Jesus, and everyone else can completely trust the faithful and discreet slave to get it wrong doctrinally and scripturally. Maybe this is what the Watchtower statement was really saying.
