seems they really hammered the 'orginization' home in the 50s and 60s. I thought it would be the other way around though.

They're replacing it with "the slave",
"the faithful slave",
"the faithful and discreet slave"
and................
.................................................'THE GOVERNING BODY'
y
Organization is synonymous with Corporation,
Using another terminology such as FDS creates more of a viable presentation to the public.
To hide and conceal the publishing corporation from the readers eyes helps to convey
an illusion that the writings and articles come from spiritual direction.
Remember this religion started as illusion of ignorance by C T Russell,
but then again thats the idealogical task of just about every religion isn't it ?
Especially the ones that are selling products.
Faithful and discreet slave and related terms also by search of the library show declines in use but searches target all the words not just the phrase so, inconclusive.
the Governing body being a watchtowerism is easier
