So...the bible doesnt say to follow the faithful and discreet slave...CORRECT? (page 5)

We came home from a circuit assembly and found him with a cop, yeah, guy in his twenties and my son was about 17. We were in shock. We thought if we went to the elders they would be able to help us with him. Our son refused to talk to them, they kept trying to find him, at home, at work. He refused to return their calls, so they told us to kick him out before he destroyed our younger sons faith. It was the worst thing I ever did to my child. I will never get over it, the pain I caused him by following the "FDS"

I kept in contact with him, I bought him food, gave him money behind my husbands and the elders backs. I couldn't stop loving him, I couldnt shun him, I rented a small office behind a building for him to live in when this "cop" kicked him out. We are terrific friends now.

Its kinda hard to talk about.

Omg, thats terrible. But I'm happy everything turned out to be okay. What year did this happen Littlebird?

littlebird

I believe it was in 2002.

Joliette

Oh wow...so your son wasnt baptized? And they went on a 'witchhunt?'

littlebird

Yes they did and to this day he is treated like he is disfellowshipped.

I'm sorry about you littlebird, but I'm glad you show unconditional love, as we are suppose to (especially our kids).

Hope it works out well for your son and hope it works out for you Joliette. Its a shame we can't be honest and open.

Matthew 25:14-30 has a follow up illustration which I find very interesting and relevant to Matthew 24:45. In this illustration there are 2 faithful slaves and 1 wicked slave. There is no indication in here that there was a single slave class.

The idea that everything in the Bible such as the "faithful and wise servant" is a class or an organization is a Watchtower invention. It makes the Society appear to JWs to have deep Bible knowledge that no one else on earth has. In fact, they make it up as they go along and change it whenever it suits them.

The Finished Mystery (1918, 1926) commentary on Revelation 7 and 14 claimed there would ultimately be 4 classes of the faithful -- 2 heavenly and 2 earthly.

Now the WTS says there are only 2 -- the 144,000 and the "other sheep." What changed? What happened to the other two classes? What changed in the Bible to lead the "faithful and wise" "Bible scholars" in Brooklyn to change this important teaching?

In the days of Rutherford, the WTS recognized a Ruth class, an Esther class, a Mordecai class, "Jonadabs", a this class, a that class.

When Rutherford died, all those "classes" died with him.

But they were solemnly taught as "the truth" from the table of "the faithful and discreet slave class."

What happened to all those other "classes"?

Weren't they biblical?

If not, then why did the "faithful and discreet slave class" believe and teach and require JWs to believe and teach that they were?

Where was the "FDS class" getting this misinformation they put on the Witnesses' table?

Jehovah? Jesus? Holy Spirit?

Where is the evidence that any of this is from God?

So...the bible doesnt say to follow the faithful and discreet slave...CORRECT?
