that which was light one or two or six years ago would be regarded as darkness now
"Oh, so you think darkness is your ally? But you merely adopted the dark. I was born in it."
"Sometimes, a man rises from the darkness."

The "faithful and discreet slave" at the 2nd coming is Christ himself. The WTS is the "evil slave" and is cast out into spiritual darkness.
The true "faithful and discreet slave" is LAZARUS. The "rich man" is the WTS, who is out focussing on building new kingdom halls just as prophesied, they they themselves are on the chopping block, spiritually speaking.
In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we see the rich man at the table and Lazarus longin for food. The rich man is the GB of JWs, in charge of spiritual food. But things change. Lazarus who had been unfaithful earlier ends up being more faithful than the GB and their positions are switched. Now we see the rich man in torment but Lazarus is in the bosom position of the father, which means he has become the Christ!
So in the end, the GB ends up being the evil slave and Lazarus ends up being the "faithful and discreet slave." BUT since Lazarus also becomes the physical identity of the Christ, it turns out the FDS is Christ himself! Of course, obviously, how appropriate would it be for Christ himself to be in charge of all of God's belongings?
So, IOW, the ultimate "faithful and discreet slave" is none other than Christ hismelf. Which means moi! Neat, huh?
I"M the faithful and discreet slave! I hadn't really given that much thought. But now that that is crystallized, I'm quite pleased!

Does anyone think they will ever publish this 'new light' in the WT? Has it been in a BOE letter? Or will they just refer to the slave as the gb and know that majority won't even blink?
It is a bit strange that such a major doctrinal shift has not caused any talk whatsoever amongst JWs. I am pretty certain that the majority of JWs are unaware of any change in the teaching.
I am sure that this change was simply because of the growing number of anointed JWs. The gb had to consolidate the power, in case the anointed started asking for their scriptural share of responsibility in running the organization.
The anointed were kicked to the curb, and then 8 men recieved a promotion, apparently from God, although those 8 were self appointed. Sounds logical. . . . .
