so since the type anti-type doctrine has been dropped 'does this mean peter was right when at luke 12 :41 he said the faithful and discreet slave was just a parable?

Conversation, if I would ask this my elderly mother:
MOTHER: "Have you asked your elders about this?"
ME: Yes, but they have no satisfying answer.
MOTHER: "So you must have a deeper bible-study!"
ME: I have all this questions, because I studied the last years already too deep.
MOTHER: "You should not study the "old" publications. Ask your elders for a bible-study!"
ME: confused
i think most on here will be familiar with the caller hook up system that many congregations use.
visit about 2 months ago.
during our servant and elders meeting he was talking up the importance of meeting attendance and how we "gods spirit appointed men" must take the lead on making every meeting.
i've just signed up two days ago, but i've been lurking for about a year and a half.
here's my story if you're interested:.
my parents converted when they were in their first semester of college.

Thanks for your introducion. A friend of mine is in a simular situation.
No help - no love from JW-people.
All the love, understanding and help (including financial help) is coming from non JWs or fading people like me.
He is in his twenties and going to school again - the best decision he could make.
I'm "inactive" (JWspeak) - because of all the hard facts on JWfacts.
Keep on reading & learning - and let us know about your progress.
A warm welcome from (with a big smile) a "lost sheep" in Europe :-)
if you have been a jw for 20+ years you may remember that the wt went into great detail on different illustrations that jesus used and the "type/anti-type" ridiculous explanations.
remember the revelation book and how those obscure jw conventions of the past pictured big things in heaven and the opening of seals?
anyway, the wt lessons for the next two weeks do two big things for me.
looks like two "new" publications are available on their website.
i put "new" in quotation marks because these appear to simply be the introduction in their rnwt in one and the appendices, maps, charts, etc.
publications named "an introduction to god's word" and "a study guide for god's word".

Yes.
Since other countries have the RNWT not in their language, they became in 2014 these 2 little books. Now they are also available in english.
Here are download links - where you can see the languages with the RNWT (PDF):

the video streaming of the german branch visit program was excrutiating 3.5 hours long.. i just went to see the last 45 min (part of mark sandersons talk).. i think sanderson is quite a sympathetic speaker and he kind of made a loving impression.. he didn't mention controversial stuff (except for one thing i will come to soon).
he mostly talked about how to find joy, even when life is not easy, and how much the gb loves the rank and file.. one point seemed soooo important to him.

This will serve to emphasize the importance of following the directions the faithful slave is providing concerning proper decorum at conventions.—1 Tim. 3:15
(1 Timothy 3:15) . . ., that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in God’s household,. .
In persecution every JW would die for his brother/sisters.
On conventions every JW would beat/kill his brother/sisters for the best seat.
They have always to be reminded:
(John 13:35) By this all will know that YOU are my disciples, if YOU have love among yourselves.”

This is not the first time that Watchtower has had a convention featuring Jesus. Have you all forgotten about the "Follow The Christ" district convention several years ago?
