Calebs Airplane

"Faithful & Discreet Slave" Nu-Lite crash course...

Before October 2012...

The Faithful & Discreet Slave were ALL of the 12,000 annointed christians that are still alive on earth. They dispense spiritual food at the proper time and are represented by a small group of powerless and humble men in Brooklyn known as the governing body. This may be compared to professional athletes of a particular sport who hire publicists and/or agents to represent them.

After October 2012...

The Faithful & Discreet Slave are only 8 elite men in Brooklyn, NY who collectively call themselves "The Governing Body". They are essentially executive vice-presidents who report to their CEO Jesus Christ. The remaining annointed are... we'll, let me think for a second... oh heck, just put them down as "domestics" along with the other riff-raff...

So there you have it...

A crash course from Calebs Airplane... nice...

Except isn't Jesus more of a silent partner in all this rather than a CEO? He doesn't seem to do much.

Calebs Airplane

Jeffro... you're right... I should have known that Jay Hoover is actually the CEO since Jesus Christ is just an administrative assistant to the governing body who (collectively) are the only channel between God and man.

(It's just so hard keeping up with all this Nu-Lite.)

is Jesus now answerable to jay hoover?....

Jeffro

I should have known that Jay Hoover is actually the CEO

If by "Jay Hoover" you mean Jehovah, I think he's a silent partner too. All hail the GB.

Calebs Airplane

You're right again Jeffro... So I guess that leaves Don Adams as Chairman & CEO...

That woud mean that Anthony Morris "The Turd" is the actually the new TDO (Turd Dispensing Officer)...

Jeffro

Calebs Airplane:

Maybe. But the way they run the show, I'm thinking it might be a different Don Adams though...

I asked the local JWs about the noo lite and they didn't seem to understand the implications of whatever was said about the F&D . Can someone give me quick rundown on what was said that made the change from 144,000 to the Brooklin 8 . I am a never JW so some of the finer points go over my head !! Though to be fair the heads of some JWs seem to get dusted with finer points as well !!

Calebs Airplane

jhine... this change was made to give themselves greater power & control...

so they went from being mere "representatives" of 12,000 people to being the masters of 7 million people in a matter of seconds by simply saying so at an annual meeing last year.... that's the gist of it...

Jeffro

In practical terms, the change made no real difference, because none of the other 12,000 actually had any authority anyway. However, the change is mostly likely to 'encourage' a decline in 'memorial partakers' (which has been rising in the last few years, even though it's 'supposed' to be reducing) due to a perceived changed in the status of being 'anointed'.
