    Hi all,

    Question:

    How Did A Proven "Fake," "Phony" Arrangement [like "governing body" arrangement]...Become The "Faithful & Discreet Slave" Arrangement???

    So then if it can be proven, the "governing body" term and arrangement is a farce, a fake, a made-up NONscriptural arrangement itself, (made up and concocted by Nathan Knorr & Frederick Franz in 1944) then how can this fake arrangement NOW suddenly become the "Faithful & Discreet Slave" that Jesus spoke of? And especially in view of the fact that now we learn, this same Watchtower magazine went on to make the startling revelation, that even first century christians, and the apostles themselves who raised the dead and did other fantastic miracles from God Almighty, did not themselves qualify to become this powerful figure we call the "Faithful & Discreet Slave" that supposedly "governs" the christian congregation? -- See July 15th, 2013 Watchtower magazine; 2 Peter 1:16.

    How can this be?

    ...any thoughts?

    Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Your question is backwards. The "Faithful & Discreet Slave" went from being approximately 11,000 JWs around the globe to 7 mentally deranged men in Brooklyn Heights, New York.

    Maria Russell told Charles Taze that he was the "faithful and wise servant."

    So it began.

    I stopped caring about that because they and everyone above them stopped caring.

    I remember a brother holding up the old green NWT and saying that if the GB said it was black, it was black.

    Like the GB saying jws must jump, and they say "how high"

    Most Christian Denominations have the equivalent of the Governing Body. Presbyterians have their General Assembly. Lutherans their Synods. Anglican has the House of Bishops and their Provisional Assembly. RCC- College of Cardinals. Methodist- The General Board of Church and Society etc..

    All high control groups have some sort of small authortarian structure!

    Often those in control are limited in size to a few 'yes-men', so that there is no chance of balanced reasoning entering the situation!

    Its easier to be manipulative dicks if there is no chance of someone saying "hey, have we gone too far here?"

    Most Christian Denominations have the equivalent of the Governing Body.

    This is not true. Most protestant denominations "protested" (hence the term PROTESTANT)this kind of heresy where someone or some group, like the Papacy positioned itself as co-mediator or as an exclusive moutpiece for God to all men on earth. This is a unique characteristic of a cult.
