  Since Rutherford's time, it was taught that the leaders/GB/FDS/etc appointed over all the belongings. So if anybody rebelled or didn't follow who God or Jesus appointed over all the Earth, it was rebelling against God /and/or Jesus himself.

  Since the new doctrine teaches that the appointment over all the belongings is a FUTURE event, then that means nobody has been appointed over all the belongings (according to their own words), so I wonder, how can they still attempt to claim that all must obey them and not doing so is against God himself?

  If nobody has been appointed, then that means nobody can demand allegience, just like Jesus said, ALL are brothers. Not to call any leaders, etc.

  But we all know they won't just give up their claim for control, so any guesses on how they will spin things to still keep control and blind following?

  The official doctrine is that the FDS was appointed over "the domestics", i.e., individual JWs, in 1919.

  The FDS won't be appointed over "all the belongings" until after Armageddon.

  I.e., there are 2 appointments - one in the past & one in the future.

  So yeah, you can still have apostates.

  You didn't really think the WTs would eliminate its favorite boogeyman, did you?

  and remember...the 144,000 (even though not all of them are GB members, aka FDS) will be appointed over ALL the belongings then, even though not all were FDS (whom the scripture is supposedly talking about).

  Those funny ol' guys in NY I tell ya. LOL
