When you think of it The Governing Body matches up far more closely to the Faithful Slave that turned evil when the master didn't come when they said he would.
If Ever That Faithful Should Become An Evil Slave Becuase He Sees That The Master Is Delaying And Starts To Disfellowship All His Fellow Slaves That Don't Listen And Obey Him, Then The Master Will...

---and BEATS his fellow-slaves : you have to be stronger than the beaten fellows, the hounds, hounders are stronger, like wolfs, they have bigger (spititual) canines.
beating the sheep hard to produce more fleece, more hours, more volonteering, more contribution, stricter obedience, adoration,--
have you ever felt beaten by the wt presentations?

The GB showed thier evil side when they tried to do what Jesus said they wouldn't
They fortold lies about the times 1914, 1925, 1975 and the season (The Fall / October )
.
.
They prove to be enemies of the cross as stated in Phillippians 3:18
and abstain from the blood of the christ at their memorial
.
.
They are the Antichrist because by thier own definition
they witness in the name of another instead of the Christ

The GB has hijacked a phrase coined by a Bible scholar from "apostate Christendom" in order to deflect the Evil Slave "finger" being pointed at them. The quotation comes from The Net Bible - https://net.bible.org/#!bible/Matthew+24:45

They claim that the new status of only the Governing Body make up the Faithful & Discreet Slave, is guaranteed to remain a loyal slave and never turn evil. Which appearently make Jesus look like he was just running off at the mouth when he introduced the idea that this slave could turn Evil by mistreating fellow slaves. How convenient! Ain't they special!

Scan this week and last week's study article for these words: Obey, obedience, disobey, loyal, etc.
You get the idea. CONTROL, CONTROL, CONTROL!

Hypocritically, the Watchtower Society accuses the group of early Bible Students who abandoned the Watchtower Society as guilty of creature worship, sectarianism and idolatory because they believed C T Russell was the (singular) FDS, but how is the Governing Body's recent appointment of itself as the "faithful and discreet slave" today not exactly the same thing??
Notice this statement found in the book 'Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Divine Purpose':
The insistence that Russell had been “that Servant” led many to regard Russell in what amounted actually to creature worship. They believed that all the truth God had seen fit to reveal to his people had been revealed to Russell, and now nothing more could be brought forth because “that servant” was dead.” [1959, pg 69]
As recently as 1988 in the book 'Revelation – It’s Grand Climax at Hand!' The Watchtower made this claim:
“The John class, however, emerged from the tumultuous days of the first world war with a love for Jehovah and for the truth that impelled them to serve him with flaming zeal. They resisted those who tried to introduce sectarianism through practically idolizing the first president of the Watch Tower Society, Charles T. Russell, following his death in 1916.” [p. 35, 36]

Yadda,
“The John class, however, emerged from the tumultuous days of the first world war with a love for Jehovah and for the truth that impelled them to serve him with flaming zeal. They resisted those who tried to introduce sectarianism through practically idolizing the first president of the Watch Tower Society, Charles T. Russell, following his death in 1916.” [p. 35, 36]
The "John Class", reminds me of some sort of special education for Governing Body's toliet training exersises as in a class where you learn how to use the john..
