true said: I am the faithful and discreet slave soon to sit upon the throne of David upon the earth of mankind.......I am the ONLY anointed person upon the earth, as those that are anointed, are those that sit upon the throne of GOD.

Maybe this is exactly what it purports to be-an illustration of how a person can be honorable or dishonorable towards others! Maybe it is just what it is! The 'story' in and of itself is valuable, whether or not there is some symbolic meaning to it. Take it for what it is saying and you will be a better person.

Evidence that the FDS doctrine is full of crock:
IT IS JUST ONE SCRIPTURE......ONE FRIGGIN' SCRIPTURE!!
If the FDS doctrine was so central to the bible and Christianity, I think that it would have merited much more than ONE verse (parable) about it and certainly not just one mention (by the term "faithful and discreet slave). J-dubs have once again managed to turn one thought (obscure passage) into a full blown high control group (anthem) mechanism.

The number 144,000 should make one think, expecially when the scriptures used are said to be all symbolic, except the number itself. What a crock! It's also interesting when you look at the scriture used to prove the "faithful slave". The Wt admits that Jesus always spoke in parables. This is the only one they say isn't really a parable, but reality. You really can make the Bible say whatever you want it to say when you take one scripture here and one scripture there, and or take them out of context.

At first the FDS was Russell then before 1935 it was all the JWs then post 1935 only the anointed and it's strange how for over 70 years they provided nothing as a class, but only a tiny number of them did. What happened to all the rest if they are part of the body of Christ why are they non entities, or is it possible that only the GB and the WTS presidents are/were really worthy enough to get revelations?

As already mentioned ONE SCRIPTURE! My God, even their birthday theory is mentioned twice. Further, if I needed proof that the FDS is as fictional as Santa Claus its this: The Society does not keep a record of any kind of the emblem partakers. When this dawned me I was stunned. But to my knowledge it is the truth. The elders send in a small card after each Memorial to Patterson with the number of partakers. No names, addresses of any kind go out. Furthermore when someone new to the congregation partakes, the elders decide whether to count that person or not. How's that for an arrangement? They know more about the status of various corporation voting members than they do about the supposed channel through which they get their doctrine from.

Estephan just couldn't help himself! He saw FDS and he came out of hiding. Fear not, he'll be back again....Regarding the FDS, they are an unrecognizable authority. No can argue with them. Have a conversation, question them. The FDS is the smartest thing the Watchtower has ever invented!
