  My grandmother was baptized in the early 1900's my mother in 1925 and both claimed to be anointed. I never ever heard them claim to be of the FDS only having a heavenly hope. As I recall that was for the GB I always had a problem that women were not allowed to teach in the cong. My mom had to show subjection to the elders in her cong. even though she was the only one for years that partook. When I was a teenager I thought I should partake and my mom scared the hell out of me by telling me if i partook I would be eating and drinking to my death.

  Later in the late 70's and early 80's there was a surge of new partakers, never made sense to me.

  Birth of The Kingdom of God: Revelations Chapter 12

  And the women fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and sixty days. (Revelations:12:5) The women is the Heavenly Kingdom (The New Jerusalem), and the son who is to shepard the nations with an iron rod is none other than Jesus Christ.

  They are fed in the heavens as those upon the earth are fed by the faithful and discreet slave. This occurs at the same time that Jesus Christ takes his throne in the heavens. Jesus Christ is the Master of the slave upon the earth as Jesus recieved all authority from his Father to reign in the heavens as King.

  So just as the Kingdom of God is "Real", so is the faithful and discreet slave.......

  My Webster says under "faithful"

  3. accurate; reliable

  My Webster says under "discreet"

  [SEE DISCERN] careful about what one says or does; prudent

  My Webster says under "discern"

  to perceive or recognize clearly.

  No comments are needed, but that never stopped me. To combine these two words
  (faithful & discreet), the leaders of WTS would need to do the following:
  Claim they are always accurate, if they don't know something admit it, always be careful
  before predicting, always refrain from predicting until the light gets bright enough to
  perceive the accurate meaning, if new light is revealed- it would only enhance the incomplete
  prediction under old light- never change the old light (CT Russell actually said that somewhere)

  true

  JWs can't see through this because many simply don't want to. I didn't. I wanted this to be true more than anything else. It was scary thinking there wasn't some physical organization that God was direction exclusively. Where else was I going to go???

  The only organizations approved by the Almighty God were the True Anointed Kings who sat upon the throne of The Almighty God upon the earth. This authority was removed when the kings were removed from the throne.

  There is NO earthly organization upon the earth that represents "The Almighty" unless you see that Jesus Christ has taken full authority. It is apparent that he has not since there are still wicked men upon the earth.

  I think that when we describe this same group it makes plain how silly they are.

  Faithful and Discrete Slave:

  A group of over 8,000 people who speak for God to all mankind even though they never confer with one another on anything he says. They have never been together in any one place at any time and cannot contribute individually on anything they publish from God. They work shoulder to shoulder even though they would not recognize each other if they were put in a room together.

  As a group they are all brothers of Jesus, even if they are female. They serve as ambassadors substituting for Christ while on earth. This means that you could meet one on the street and he could rightfully introduce themself to you as Jesus' Brother and an ambassador of his invisible government who delivers God's timely messages and has had all Jesus' property give to him.

  Coo Coo.

  So True, who/what is the FDS???

  The faithful and discreet slave is a newly appointed king to sit upon the throne of David. This occured when Jesus Christ received his Kingship in the heavens. This is apparent because the faithful and discreet slave is appointed by Jesus Christ to watch over his domestics. A domestic is the same as fellow slaves, or servants, that serve the Almighty God in the House of David upon the earth.

  The dubs claim that they will provide around 54 000 out of the 144 000 that according to them make up the FDS class, in under 100 years, that's one hell of a grandiose claim since the whole of christianity provided just 90 000 members over 1900 of its existence. Obviously the claim is suspect, and when we look at it closely it was only the presidents of the WTS and then the handful of men of the GB that provided the spiritual food the rest were there just for show.
