    Just asking about this "new light" of the 7 member of the Governing Body (the GB-7) being the FDS

    What is the point?

    What biblical "argument" have they given about that ? What verse of the Bible have they twist to achieve this crappy affirmation?

    And because this news is new for me, I didn't had the time to really think about it, then :

    What are the theological consequencies of this change?

    The point is the paedophile protecting governing body get all the power attributed to them if they claim to be god's sole channel.

    The WBT$ doesn't give a hoot about the bible or god, their gods are the governing body.

    The WBT$ is a big pyramid business scam and has nothing to do with theology or truth.

    They want power and money because they're a corporation not a church.

    It's all about money and power.

    For many years I was to understand that the FDS was all the workers who printed the books!

    Coalize, there's been a lot of new light lately. Another significant one is that they state they weren't being as discreet as they should have in the past and are dropping all their types and antitype interpretations unless the scriptures indicate clearly that they should apply. Unfortunately they haven't been specific about where the bible clearly indicates this and have only given a few insignificant examples.

    Even if a JW was keen enough to keep up to date it is impossible because the GB are not specific enough.

    Really? Very strange piece of cake!

    Just by reading that "new light", a question come in my mind : the FDS explanation come from a parabol that the bible doesn't "indicate clearly that they should apply" outside the parabol

    And nobody notice?

    In the same time, dropping this shitty types and antitypes interpretation is a good thing. First nobody I know never made the point at the difference between type and antitype, and second it was a catalyst of a large bunch of creepy interpretations!

    The reason they gave for the FDS being the GB only and not all of the anointed is that the GB in the first century represented the FDS and "fed" the other anointed. So the FDS could not be all anointed, however all anointed receive the benefits that the FDS receives when Jesus comes as they are included in the FDS by extension.

    Clear as mud, right?
