I think that the key to this explanation is in the part "somewhat similar."
That is, it is not the completely same explanation as the concept of the Trinity.
It may have persuasiveness, if we always include this expression "somewhat similar" in our explanation.
the term "composite" was used a lot by the WTS in the past in place of "class" that seems to be the more politically correct term.
My favourite was when they referred to the F&DS as the "composite prophet", and then of course to later deny ever having called themselves prophets.
*** w82 10/1 p. 27 Be as Men Who Are Facing Har-Magedon Unafraid ***
In behalf of such individuals who at heart seek God's rule instead of man's rule, the "prophet" whom Jehovah has raised up has been, not an individual man as in the case of Jeremiah, but a class. The members of this class are, like the prophet-priest Jeremiah, wholly dedicated to Jehovah God through Christ and, by the begettal of Jehovah's holy spirit, they have been made part of "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession." (1 Peter 2:9) At this late date there is a mere remnant of this "prophet" class yet on earth. The "war of the great day of God the Almighty" at Har-Magedon could not start before this composite "prophet" ends his work.
Welcome, T.F.
Witness trinity is the Father, the Son, and the SDO.
What is the "SDO"?
Aliens (Gaijin) like a symbol (shortened mark).
Even if a symbol like this is used abundantly, can everyone understand perfectly?
Can many people understand the meaning of the word correctly, without asking the meaning of the word to the person who uses the symbol?
Welcome, T.F. You've been lurking quite a while.
Composite Prophet...That was a good one! The WBTS concept of the FDS (according to their writings) is made up of 144,000 persons of one composite "slave" individual and person. Each member is equal and yet fully "slave"
The Trinitarian concept of the Trinity is somewhat similar...Three Divine Persons in One Composite Being who is God. Each Divine Person is equal and yet fully God. This is somewhat similar to the FDS concept, but I wonder if they actually copied that from the Trinity concept?
So far the JWs I have discussed this with are fully denying the FDS is a composite individual, they want to say they are "individuals" and avoid the word "slave" (singular) at all costs. They actually deny their so-called future rulers' writings and prefer to call them "individuals". What should I say to those JWs?
All you can do is confront them with their own litterature.
I hope it works for you.
Their instinctive reaction is to shut their brain down (shake the dust off their feet) and go to the next door.
Keep up the good work.

Your understanding of the Trinity doctrine appears to be very similar to my father's understanding of it.
It is an understanding that he aquired from the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society.
It is an understanding that is very fragile as it has little scriptural support. That is why it is so easy for him to argue against it.
Neither my father or my mother understand the doctrine of the Trinity, despite having being opposers of it for seventy years.
I didn't understand it for fifty two years.
Do you really understand it??????
....or are you making the same mistake as my family???????
Hi, Black Sheep.
Although I cannot understand well why you say such ...
Also in other threads, I say that the true Trinity doctrine is different from the Trinity which Jehovah's Witnesses state.
That is, I say repeatedly that the view "Jehovah is Jesus" is not the Trinity doctrine.
I think that the matter which I describe repeatedly is probably different from your father's view.
Well, I do not believe the Trinity.
