i'm a jw still, and i'm new on this forum.
here's my question: if the faithful and discreet slave is a messenger for truth why is the only mention of them in the bible in the form of a parable?
why only one time(in two parallel accounts)?
Their two class distinction becomes harder and harder to uphold as time progresses, just as we have seen with the nethinim class that they have recently introduced
I hadnt heard anything about this, do you have more info, it sounds interesting. If there is a link to a thread about this, thats cool, I dont want to hijack this thread and i cant make anymore cause i'm a n00b.
i really dont know but i have read both opinions on this forum.
many in my fam are in but we never talk about their religion, except when they invite me to some meeting, or the memorial, assembly etc.

my grandfather is an ms and i know for a fact that he is not the picture perfect jw.
he doesnt do anything wrong but he is no bastion of spirituality either.

good links. yup she deserved it.
just wondering
in for 17 out for 10
for the longest time i was afraid to see it, and when i did i have to admit i felt 'weird', anyone else feel this way.
re. fear of demons, its kind of funny and sad at the same time but my mother is so afraid of them that she acts like a child if there is something in the house that she thinks may be demonic, my daughter had something in her room, like toy tarot cards or something and my mom could not sleep, she swore that the door opened on its own ( we have a cat), me and my wife laugh about it but its pretty pathetic really, she is over 60 yrs old

Growing up JW I was deathly afraid of demons or anythign demonic, including something as harmless as a smurf or a antique from a garage sale so something that outwardly dealt with demons like the Exorcist was definitely off limits. the feelings I got watching it were not demons obviously but my fear and guilt combined, i got over it though. i just watched the Exorcist : beginning and i felt fine, didnt think it was that scary actually, but watching did remind me of how i used to feel.
BTW thanks for the welcome, i used to post under a different name from time to time about 1.5-2 years ago but i switched email addressess and forgot my password so i have no way of using it anymore.
