Sorry guys hit the wrong button. We all know that scripture was a parable. What Jesus was talking about was back in the hebrew scriptures at Deuteronomy chapter fifteen where the bond servant would be faithful to his master. Everything Jesus quoted was always going back to the Torrah. (first five books of the bible) And if that servant was found faithful he could stay on serving the master indefinitely after his seven years were up. This proves that the faithful and discreet slave are individuals whom only the masters Jesus and Jehovah will know and pick. Not some gb of eight stooges who appointed themselves. Remember in hebrew scriptures, the ones that Jehovah chose would have special powers to do special things like Moses,Jesus ect,, What special powers do these gb goons have besides hateful name calling and how to beat their slaves into submission to the point where they are not allowed to ask questions or they lose their families and friends forever. Jesus condemned that behaviour besides their nicolaotan behavior. There were no hiarchy or positions. Everyone was treated equal.

And also how Cornelius was suppose to be the first gentile to be in cluded into the "new" covenant. The egyptians as well as the alien resident were allowed to join themselves to Israel, Jehovah's people. That when Jesus came, he was to" renew" the old covenant with Jehovah's people, not start a new covenant. It's been the same covenant all along and that's why Jesus had to come. The pharasees and saducees had gone beyone what was written in the law(torrah) and now when Jesus comes again, he is coming to collect the lost people of Israel. Right now they are scattered all throughout the earth but those who follow Jehovah's commandments from the beginning like Jesus taught and did will be their true followers.
Yesterday we had a turkey dinner and studied Deuteronomy 11:12 to 16:12 Five others came over(ex jws) and we studied what all the Messianic Hebrews were studying world wide. Jw's say they are the onlly ones that study worldwide but it's their literature where they pluck scriptures to suite their doctrines. We study just the bible and are learning so much that we weren't shown in this religion. When ever I learn something I will post. This keeps my mind off of what I just went through with my jc and how day by day I couldn't see the light yet when I had this study yesterday and fellowship I am starting to feel better today. I can totally understand why people take their lives when they feel there's no way out. And all in the name of god. How humiliating, embarraseing that the elders could turn a whole congregation upside down to even lie.
Thanks for being there for us

Easy. They're the ones that introduced us to the real truth. You could try putting a sign up on the board at the back of your hall:)
Good luck with that for noone studies their bible in this religion. We're going to try sharing what we learn with some of our old return visits. Some have already stated what we're learning sounds alot closer to the bible than what the watchtower taught. Out of the mouths of babes.
Good luck to you.

Another thing about the fds was he was always happy to serve his master therefore always being ever so loyal to his master. Can we really say that about the witnesses today? When we were in, we always felt like we were never good enough and to do more more more. It wasn't by Jehovah's commandments we felt that way but by the society's long list of do's and don'ts. The more we were doing for society, the farther we were getting away from Jehovah's commandments and his Law. The bible is making so much sense now. These men are the apostates not us!!!!
