Whats the most damning of the July 15 2013 changes?

Crazyguy

A lot of the rank and file at the meetings seem to think some of the changes make more sense but what is the most damning of the changes that may help to wake to some up. Some thing the rank and file will not first see or understand as a big deal?

whathappened

To me it is the fact that up till 5 minutes ago, basically, they were wrong about their entire faithful and discreet slave interpretation. They have been teaching falsehood as true doctrine all this time...for almost a century. What a load of you know what!!! Obviously, they are making this religion up as they go. How knows what is next to be changed. I am out and never returning.

I disagree with the FDS issue since nobody seemed to know who the FDS was prior to the change. If I remember correctly, the FDS seemed to change every few months or so!

The Rank and file are trained not to sweat the details... This is easily achieved with the WT's brain-washing trifecta: 1) Proverb 4:18 - We can lie whenever we want or make shit up as we go along, because... 2) Micah 7:7 - Jehovah will clear up our lies in due time. Besides... 3) Matthew 24:14 - Who else in preaching the "Good News"?

To me, it's that they now claim that Christ has NOT appointed the FDS over all his belongings yet (that is future), which, according the the OD book is the #1 reason why we should trust the FDS. Thus the #1 reason has just been swept out from under 7 million people.

WHY TRUST "THE FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE"

There are many reasons to have complete trust in the slave class. First and foremost, Jesus has appointed the over all his precious "belongings". This is a clear indication that he has complete trust in them.

-od p.18 par. 2

To me, it's that they now claim that Christ has NOT appointed the FDS over all his belongings yet (that is future),

Further..................if they are not appointed over all his belongings yet, doesn't that mean that there is the possibility that there are millions of Christ's "belongings" in the care of other churches? Lots of "good people" who are NOT JWs but who merit salvation!

Billy the Ex-Bethelite

According to the diagram on pg. 5, the "faithful slave" is appointed over Jesus' belongings immediately before armageddon. This gets very confusing around pg. 25 because it would mean that the "Governing Body" would be appointed over everything in heaven and on earth. But in usual WT fashion, they use smoke and mirrors to try to make the mess come together.

And in their diagram of events leading up to armageddon, they have forgotten all about the King of the North.

And they still expect the UN to attack religion? Evidently, Watchtower is still trying to ignore the power and influence of Islam.

Of course, the bottom line is... don't bother understanding any of this, because WT again proves that whatever they teach today can very easily be replaced tomorrow. No questions asked, because no questions are allowed.

45“Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

46Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

47Truly I say to ?YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings.

Verse 45 - the 'slave' is the GB

Verse 46 - the 'slave' is the GB

Verse 47 - the 'slave' is the 144,000

This change to the application of 'slave' is simply idiotic and undefendable

prologos

The idea that all the old feeders of the sheep, peter paul and (mary?), james, luke, the 2000 year passers on bible scribes, translators et al ,

were merely FREE LANCING, Independent contractors, non tenure teachers, renegates really because none of these were officially recognized.

Appointment had to wait

until the the coming of 8.

Caleb's Airplane: "Besides, who else is preaching the Good News?"

Exactly! Works like a charm every time.

"Sure, there are pedophiles, but who else is preaching the Good News?..

Even the pedophiles are preaching the Good News!"
