The Bible speaks of 2 Slaves. There's the Faithful and Discreet Slave, and the Evil Slave. Although the Bible only mentions the terms "Faithful and Discreet Slave" twice and "Evil Slave" twice, the WTBTS still likes to put their spin on it, and turn it into 2 classes, the same as the sheep and the goats.
Well, the WTBTS is proud to identify the members of the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class, and even uses ten of them to run their organization.
I'm thinking, that as members of the Evil Slave Class, it could and should be considered our privilege to pick our own governing body.
Can we at least get a tax exempt status? Some property in Brooklyn? A few million worth of printing supplies?

w61 7/1 pp. 409-410 The Traitorous "Evil Slave" and His Prototypes ***"EVIL SLAVE"THE
Even as King David was a type of Jesus Christ, so the traitor Ahithophel proved to be a picture of Judas Iscariot. In turn, he and Judas Iscariot foreshadowed the "evil slave," concerning whom Jesus prophesied: "But if that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be."—Matt. 24:48-51.
We should expect to see this "evil slave" today. Why so? Because these words of Jesus regarding the evil slave are part of Jesus’ great prophecy that finds its fulfillment since 1914. Since that year we have seen the unprecedented wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes and the world-wide preaching of this good news of the Kingdom as foretold at Matthew 24:7-14.
However, as already noted, we are not to expect this evil slave to be a single individual but rather a group of individuals. Thus Jehovah, at Isaiah 43:10, speaks of his nation of witnesses back there and in our day not only in the plural form as "witnesses," but also in the singular form as "my servant." This is in keeping with the fact that the "faithful and discreet slave," which Jesus mentioned at the same time, is also a group of persons. As has been noted time and again in the pages of this journal, that "faithful and discreet slave" consists of the remaining ones or the remnant of the body of Christ still on earth and is associated with Jehovah’s witnesses of the New World society.—Matt. 24:45-47.
From the words of Jesus it is apparent that the evil slave is a traitor. How does he show it? By beating his fellow slaves and by associating with those who are disreputable in God’s sight, "the confirmed drunkards," spiritually so. Does he beat his fellows with a literal rod? No, for the laws of the land would not permit that. Rather, he seeks to cause pain to his fellow slaves by hard and bitter speech, by slander, false propaganda, by assertions for which no proof is given nor indeed can be given. This he does both by the spoken and the printed word. He is like Diotrephes, concerning whom the apostle John wrote: He "likes to have the first place among them, [and] does not receive anything from us with respect . . . chattering about us with wicked words."—3 John 9, 10.
Those comprising the "evil slave" class feel they have a grievance. They may have been rebuked, as Judas was, or have been relieved of privileges of service, or may have been unable to fall in line with the progress being made in understanding the truth or in methods of carrying on God’s work. But if they were honestly to examine their hearts they would be forced to admit that for a long time their hearts have not been right and that now selfishness, in the form of pride or desire for selfish gain, is blindly goading them on
