    “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — Math 24:45

    According to JW, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the Jehovah’s Witnesses religion.

    Fm: self-appointed , anointed in 1919, based on their then flashy teaching campaign: "----- Millions now living will never die!" so, answer please:

    are there > 2 million over 108 year old armageddon proof witnesses today? or at least "sheep" that have helped feed, watered, consoled kingdom workers?

    and how about the pre-1919 bible writers, teachers?, --- unqualified? so, face it:

    not appointed, but will be disappointed. already are, as proven, condemned false prophets.

    jworg, wtbts inc still pitching the same line:" Millions now living will never die", and that means you.

    The Faithful and Discreet Slaves are a bunch of self righteous, self appointed, arrogant Dickheads that live in a different world. Who wants everyone to give them money and kiss their azz.

    Who is Tom Bombadil, the magical man that saves Frodo and friends. from the Barrow-Wights in Lord of the Rings? There are a lot of theories behind who he is, but the truth of his identity and place in Middle-Earth are just never revealed. Gandalf hints that he may be the oldest creature alive in Middle-Earth,but we can only speculate.


    How did Elrond and the elves know that Aragorn and the hobbits were coming? They didn’t send a messenger ahead of them to warn anyone. If Gandalf had come back by that time, he would have tried to help them himself. Elrond didn’t have a phone around and there was no sign that he could sense them coming. So how did Arwen know to come, exactly?

    Who else could the original Faithful Slave be but the directors of the Watchtower at headquarters in Brooklyn New York in 1919. It should be obvious to us that Joseph Rutherford was among the ones chosen. If you don't accept that you should be destroyed at Armageddon. Don't you believe the Bible?

    Imagine there are some who think all faithful anointed Christians are the Faithful Slave. Of course that is Apostacy plain and simple. You must believe what the current Faithful Slave says about himself and his origins or you are not a true Christian.

    Prove me wrong!

    You can believe in the Bible, in Jehovah and His Son and still be destroyed if you do not recognize the Slave. The Bible does not give forth it's lifesaving truths without them.

    Slavery is an awful thing. For a bunch of fools in New York to pretend they are some sort of "Faithful and Discreet Slave" is a very sick term to use. If you are using a book that endorses a detestable thing like slavery in any form as some sort of moral guideline, then there is something wrong with you. This goes for both literal slavery and metaphorical slaves like those in New York.

    According to Wikipedia:

    As of 2018, the countries with the most slaves were: India (8 million), China (3.86 million), Pakistan (3.19 million), North Korea (2.64 million), Nigeria (1.39 million), Indonesia (1.22 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1 million), Russia (794,000) and the Philippines (784,000).

    FD S: The Biblical implication is Holy Spirit (work). —Which is a blessing!

    Comparing anything to a slave as being a good thing is anything but a blessing. Which begs the question, why didn't Jesus say anything about slavery being a bad thing? Or did he say something but his disciples didn't bother to record it? Either way the bible (the so-called "word of god") endorses slavery.

    Bible trumps your opinion. —As it relates to the Bible.

    Is the Faithful Slave of the JWs treated just like everyone else?
