my jw friend and i were talking about who the faithful and discreet slave is.
i read in harp of god that it is c. t. russell.
then she tells me it is the people who work at bethel (the 144,000).
There's a great article on the subject on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faithful_and_Discreet_Slave
Basically, the FDS consists of the annointed. The governing body is supposed to represent the FDS, but there is absolutely no mechanism for that representation. The GB is a self-appointed dictatorship of the FDS.
just wondering who else is lurking besides me?
I'm not a JW, but I have a friend who is.
I'm a Catholic Atheist :)

notice how in this article they redirect their own question!
of course their organization doesn't spread propaganda for jews, communists, or american imperialists!
WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Everything of this world, particularly government, is of Satan the Devil, right? Therefore, WTBTS is using Satan's tool (the government) to stop people from reading their materials. Conclusion: The Watchtower is working in collusion with Satan.
topic: is it ok to be gay does god approve of this.. i have a brother which i love and he recently came out of the closet, realy i'm not a baptized jw nor publisher but i do go to some of their talks with my mom and father.
i feel sorry for my brother because my parents oppuse it really bad... what do i do???
support him, in a way i think actualy know its wrong you choose your sexuality and he use to date alot of girls.
Rubi - I'm gay too. Your brother will be gay whether or not your or anyone else approves of it. Sure, you can "control" homosexuality by not having sex, but he will always be (and probably always has been) attracted to guys. He won't be able to control those thoughts any more than a straight person thinks about the opposite sex.
Your brother badly needs the love of his family. His decision to come out to you all was probably the hardest in his life. I repeat, it was the hardest decision of his life.
Are you going to base your decision on whether or not to love your brother on someone else's theological opinion? He is what he is, and it's not his choice.
I dated girls too just to try and fit in. He did the same. Now he is allowing himself to be himself.

Watchtower - the Fuhrer is on the phone and he wants his Gestapo agents back.

i don't know how to celebrated the memorial because i was tricked by jehovah witness.. what am i suppose to eat and drink?
is there a special kind of bread and bevarge that is need.. another question i have is what is leaven bread and what is unleaven bread?.
oh yeah, what is the date of the memorial?.
Good question. How do you define "doing it right"? Every church has their own opinion on it. Does it really matter if the intent and sincerity are there inside you? Would god punish you for trying to do the right thing?
