Multiple changes... quick synopsis off the top of my head
- The GB alone is the FDS (instead of all of the anointed being the FDS and the GB being its representative)
- The FDS didn't exist prior to 1919 (instead of FDS existing since 33 C.E.)
- C.T. Russell is not part of the FDS. He was a forefunner, though.
- The feeding of the 5000 by Jesus means that many people would be fed spiritually by a few (the GB)
- The FDS has not been appointed over ALL of Jesus beloingings (that's future)... this is big because the OD book says the number one reason we should trust the FDS is because Jesus appointed them over all his belongings. This is not true anymore.
- The domestics now include the Great Crowd (used to be just the anointed)

The Evil Slave is a figment of someone's imagination and will not materialize!
Oh, it was Jesus who dreamed it up; Alrighty then - we gotta believe the Faithful Slave when it tells us that it can never turn eeeeeeeevilllllllll!
So we can all sleep safely in our beds knowing that little "divine truth"!
