    Was FDS chosen before the Sanctuary was cleansed ? see what Rutherford says :

    From Golden Age 1935 page 446 from a series of articles about God’s Calendar and Timepiece, a turgid and complicated argument to support Rutherford’s view of prophecy and chronology.

    " (Saturday, October 15, A.D, 1932), there was published in The Watchtower a resolution, publication of which was official notification that then and there ended the 2300 days of Daniel's prophecy.

    (Daniel 8 : 14) It pleased God to thereafter have a cleansed sanctuary. Since then God's people have had peace in God's temple. This as the occasion for the naming of this month.

    "And all thy children shall be taught of Jehovah; and great shall be the peace of thy children."-Isaiah 54 : 13, A.R.V"

    So,according to Rutherford the 1919 choosing could not have happened, not untill 1932, not that he linked, in this article, the "cleansing" with a choosing of a FDS as the modern day GB do.

    No one has been chosen or cleansed by anybody. Any claims is just fantasy or a big lie. Don't spend too much time worrying about this stuff and waste your preciuos time.

    Enjoy life !

    Hi,

    Exactly what I've been saying..After reading the entire article...what stood out to me was....The FDS has not been appointed as of yet, so who has been feeding us Spiritual Food...nobody seems to see that point...which to me is the most important point of the article.... A sister said they were chosen in 33 CE...so how does that interpret that they Org. was chosen...I think folks know this but it really scares them..now they are thinking, Yeah, who has been feeding us...

    I already know how the ORG. works, they have misunderstandings, then hide behind the saying...like all JW's..."Well, we're imperfect"...that's not an excuse..when folks have been questioning some of this stuff for a long time & the org. just decided to ignore it because of their pride & not wanting to be wrong. The org. is like any big business, & once you get that...you no longer will be surprised at any of the new light....Just accept that many timesthey read into the scriptures things that are not there..Just to sound more intelligent than most.

    Think about the wheat & weeds or whatever, that could also apply to being disfellowshipped...they asked Jesus should we get rid of the weeds & he says no let the wheat & weeds grow together & maybe the wheat will rub off on the weeds & encourage them, & if you get rid of some of the weeds, you might take up the wheat by mistake....so if any of us get DF'd...we could leave the brothers with that scripture...Oh yeah, you'll still be DF'd but you'll leave them something to think about...

    We don't have a FDS at the moment...a bunch of old men just making stuff up..

    Legacy, the new light is that the GB was appointed as the FDS in 1919. They were appointed over the domestics at this time. They assure us that the appointment over all the master's belongings will take place in the future at the Great Tribulation. So this does not take away their claim of authority over the domestics, who are now defined as the great crowd plus all the anointed remnant who are not the GB. They wouldn't think of giving up that control.

    Hi all

    FDS appointed in 1919 over the domestics...nope...I know everyone is looking at that word ALSO, APPLIES TO FUTURE COMING...since the org. bolds & Italisize important words, why wasn't that word Made to stand out ??? Why cuz that too will change in time, when we die off. It's down right scarey that we have been fed by a bunch of old men. Re-read para. # 18 & 19...Jesus didn't come in 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918 or 1919...if he hasn't come as of yet...then he couldn't have appointed anybody & if he did...WHEN? The article is telling us...nothing has happened yet, because Jesus didn't arrive...The org. self appointed themselves.

    Everyone remember this...when the rank & file of the org. has to come in front of God/Jesus, they going to have to answer for their...UNDERSTANDING...but us domestics can't use the word Jehovah witnesses as a password, God sees who reads their bible & when your time comes what will we say...I've spoken to many who are inactive but not DF'd & this say the same thing...

    The FDS is just a parable...the article even mentions that ...they are all parables...just to make us think, understand & be ready.

    The WT still teaches that Jesus' second coming was in 1914.

    Fred Franz could twist the Bible to make it teach anything at all, but I doubt that even he could make sense of the current gibberish.

    Most JWs won't ask any questions about this stuff at all.

    They will marvel at how brilliant the GB must be to understand it themselves, and they will be grateful for all the new light they are getting, whatever it may mean.
