Thankfully, God's spirit has provided protection for his people, and such liars and their falsehoods are exposed, much to their chagrin. As part of the "evil slave", opposers and apostates are assigned their deserved place with the hypocrites.
Can you show us how and when they were exposed as liars?

Recognizing this, and being aware that "the whole world is lying the power of the wicked one," the "faithful and discreet slave" class has chosen to necessarily limit the amount of information available about the handling of judicial matters and other congregational procedures. This enables the congregation elders to carry out their shepherding work "decently and by arrangement"--handling problems and giving Scriptural counsel in an organized, theocratic manner. This maintains peace within the congregation and honors Jehovah, who is a God of peace. (1 Cor. 14:33, 40)
Why don't you give an explanation to why this maintains peace?
-Sab
But what if we are personally concerned about some specific matter, perhaps a judicial matter involving ourselves or our loved ones? What if it may appear that some injustice occurred? Is this reason to question the wisdom of obeying Jehovah's appointed "gifts in men"? By no means! (Eph. 4:8, 11-14)
Impeccable argument, good sirs!

Sabastious!
One word: P-A-R-O-D-Y.
Tee hee hee.

Imperfect men may err, but it is Jehovah who will see to it that his will is done in his due time, not ours. May we wisely trust in him by trusting those whom he trusts and obediently carrying out our assignments in the short time remaining before the end of this system.--Heb. 13:17; 1 Cor. 15:58.
So you conclude with a platitude about "trust" when you started out that you can't trust your rank and file with this information and referenced Jusas Iscariot...

Damn, he got me. The guy is good!

Ok, so how does this give the FDS license to do the same thing?
Jesus appointed them "over all his belongings". That means that Jesus trusts them fully to handle matters in a way that serves the congregation best. Haven't you read Matthew 24:45-47? Might want to read it again.
Such as?
This is propaganda! Why would I need to provide facts? Why are you even asking me for them? Turn your d*** brain off and just read it!
No you got that wrong. They wish to speak out against a corrupt organization, not smear the name of our creator.
No--YOU got it wrong, pal. They're speaking against JEHOVAH'S organization, the organization that he has put his spirit upon. That's like blaspheming against the holy spirit! Speaking abusively about glorious ones, the anointed, "faithful slave" class. It's one thing to be distracted by the imperfections of some, but drawing away from God's arrangement altogether is wickedness and folly. It's sad to see when people lose their faith in Jehovah over a few men's mistakes. Just come back to the meetings and try to look for the good in people, like Jesus would do.

I love it when people can't tell it's a fake article, though--that's when I know I've done a good job. I really need to send this to JWs and see their reactions!

Your tone is spot on! Sounds just like the old farts in Brookyln.
