I noticed that after 1919 - no names - It became a secret society.

Lukewarm, THANKS for that!
This is very big! The Faithful Slave can be traced to Moses??? HUH???
As Blondie pointed out, George Storrs was even panned in their own history!

So, I guess this means the Filthful and Disgraceful Slavebugger can just keep stringing generations end to end, like so many strings of Christmas lights, once each one reaches its end?

CO are just middle management marketing executives for the WT Corporation , their self imposing bullshit streams
down from the top and into the mouths of COs.
Thats in essence their job and duty.
Remember when a CO comes to visit a hall , its an anticipation of new information on when the world is
going to end and paradise start.

Oh YES! I can see it all now.
The FDS in Crooklyn were appointed in 1919, just months after all their false prophecies had been exposed in open court and by anybody reading the predictions they had made since the 1870s.
So anybody with sense would obey the words of Leviticus about not listening to or fearing false prophets and Luke 21:8.

so let me get this straight, the CO is claiming that Polycarp and Irenaeus were part of the faithful and discreet slave? correct me if I am wrong, but Irenaeus wrote that Christ was God incarnate. How can a person who believed Jesus to be God be a member of the faithful slave? Also, Polycarp taught that anyone who didnt believe Jesus was resurrected in the flesh was an anti christ.
Is this an official outline from the society? If so there are getting really sloppy. Its very easy to find out what the early church fathers wrote. I guess they figure that most jw's will never research it.
If they are going to retroactively appoint people as members of the faithful and discreet slave, why not use Arius? That would at least make sense.

The WT is using a classic method; retrojecting current (really really current, like hot off the presses in this case) ideas onto historical events, to better support the current idea.
The overlapping generations? Well, they always overlapped; look at Moses/prophets/Jesus/early/middle ages/modern belief, see? One continuous stream of FDS feeding the domestics. (Of course, if this is true, then how was the time of Jesus urgent and different, or our own? Same as always, so how is this the end times if generations have always overlapped? The CO did not think this one out).
Of course, it is unsupported horsepucky. They paint a picture of continuity over generations; the reality is witnesses change their own ideas and beliefs from year to year, see the above, forget about the entire body of belief about Jesus; it ranged and ranges the gamut from thinking he was an early hippie to thinking he was God walking the earth to thinking he is only a door to our own christhood.
The idea that Ireneaus rejected apostasy is unsupported; he rejected what HE did not think was orthodox. So anything that did not support community building, or could be understood in 2 sentences was thrown out. He hammered out of existence to the best of his ability any variety of belief about Jesus.
Only witnesses could fall for something this dumb.
