Who REALLY is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?

2. beliefs
this thread was inspired by another thread about "two classes of the annointed".

1 page 805. as we all know when the term faithful and discreet slave is used by the witnesses it is usually always about the governing body.

in most prayers we hear at the meeting we hear the brother asking jehovah to direct the fds.. notice who the insight book says the faithful and discreet slave is,.

the real id act, to go into effect may 12, 2008 or december 2009.

starting three years from now, if you live or work in the united states, you'll need a federally approved id card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect social security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service.

practically speaking, your driver's license likely will have to be reissued to meet federal standards.

How to search for God and deal with those who play God at the same time.

i had an idea.... .

lets say someone feels qualified to play god and judge and kill a murderer for his crime.. you find the person they love and care about the most and put both of them in a 6x10 cell, give them a couple of stones for food..and simply leave for about 6 months.. make sure the entire 6 months is video taped...so that others can have some popcorn and safely enjoy the lesson they volunteered for and learned... afterwards.. all you would have to do is remove a body and some bones..virtually no messy clean up.

if upon your return, they are eating bread, instead of one having ate the other to prolong their suffering a little longer.

If you could?

sometime in my daydreams especially when someone has treated me badly, i think that it would be good to get rid of aggressive, violent people.

then it is easy to move on to liars and thieves and cheats.

in the end, if i am feeling particularly aggrieved most people are gone and it is just me and my close circle left.

Is blasphemy,blasphemy if it is authorized by the blasphemee?
by The Dragon in

2. beliefs
i seem to have run into alot of problems getting an answer to this question from people who claim to be able to discern god and his thoughts and plans..including witnesses.....some look at me and ask me if i know the answer!!!!!.

kinda scary really...and iam beginning to wonder if the inquisitions were on the basis of questions like this...beware is all i can say...... seems to me it would be between the one blaspheming and the one being blasphemed alone.....it would be impossible for an onlooker to know for sure what was actually going on between them....and if they were friends under an agreement with a plan...or mortal enemies calling each other liars...... no human i know of can answer this question truthfully unless they admit to being one or the other first.. anyone else see something i missed?.

what do you think?

it is kind of like the question: if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make a noise as it crashes to the ground?
