John 21:15-17
When, now, they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter: "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him: "Yes, Lord, you know I have affection for you." He said to him: "Feed my lambs." Again he said to him, a second time: "Simon son of John, do you love me?" He said to him: "Yes, Lord, you know I have affection for you." He said to him: "Shepherd my little sheep." He said to him the third time: "Simon son of John, do you have affection for me?" Peter became grieved that he said to him the third time: "Do you have affection for me?" So he said to him: "Lord, you know all things; you are aware that I have affection for you." Jesus said to him: "Feed my little sheep. ...
And yet the hand-picked apostle Peter was NOT a part of the appointed FDS, appointed just before the Master left on a long journey away??? (I still want to know, if Jesus returned in 1914, where he went in 1919.)

Maybe the lawyers want more JWs to get upset and walk away, so they can consolidate the Congs and free up more KH's to sell. The GB , has become willing stooges in the downsizing to the WT empire-

The Apostles learned the hard way, these qualities were not what Jesus Christ was looking for, "lording it over", "who is the greatest among them?"
Ancient Isreal had problems with Jehovah God being their King, they picked a visible man they could serve. Christianity goes the same way with the Universal Church, the Watchtower is riding off the coat-tails of humanity needing a physical presense. JWs feel the need for visible "kings and priest (144,000)", not the Invisible King Lord Jesus Christ! How is a christian to grow with men who teach radical teachings that go against the very fabric of ancient Christian teachings? Is it any wonder why most JWs don't know their Bible, and rely on their "Reasoning Book" before they open the Bible?
Brother Ray Franz wrote about the "Watchtower Society's" wish to force all the followers of Jesus Christ to renouce their Christian Freedom and "comform to all the rules provided by men", nothing is further from the Holy Bible's truth revealed by our one and only leader Jesus Christ. Old Watchtower's claimed "The Faithful Slave has been with mankind since 36 CE", "Jesus never, never allowed the World to be without a faithful slave providing spiritual food (Examples Waldenses, Lollarards, Huguneots, Micheal Servetus) are qouted as possible Slaves according to the WTS. Now that's all rubish, "new light" remove's the old "Faithful Slave" replacing with younger men with questionable holy-spirit qualifications.

Paul and Apollos, Servants of Christ
1Dear brothers and sisters, a when I was with you I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people. b I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in the Christian life. c 2I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren't ready for anything stronger. And you still aren't ready, 3for you are still controlled by your sinful nature. You are jealous of one another and quarrel with each other. Doesn't that prove you are controlled by your sinful nature? Aren't you living like people of the world?4When one of you says, "I am a follower of Paul," and another saysw , "I follo Apollos (The Governing Body)," aren't you acting just like people of the world?
5After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God's servants through whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work the Lord gave us. 6I planted the seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made it grow. 7It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. 8The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 9For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building.

Ty, Cedars! Jesus Christ has played third-fiddle in this human run Organization. More emphasis is Jehovah, Faithful Slave, Brothers and maybe Jesus Christ? "Fourth-fiddle" I suppose!
Jesus Christ won't have a problem with glory to the praise of his Father Jehovah God, it's the Watchtower's attempt to rob him of his authority! Remember brothers in the Kingdom Hall callling the Watchtower "Mother"? Blasphemy!
