  Who is the faithful and discreet slave?

  by wearewatchingyouman in

  2. beliefs

  when i discuss things with my father regarding whether a governing body is needed for christians one theme that is constant with him is "if it's not the gb who is the faithful and discreet slave - who else is giving food in these days to god's people?".

  i've been working on a response to this for the last couple of months and am just curious as to who christians who are ex-witnesses interpret the faithful and discreet slave to be, and the parable in general.. .

  i guess i'm just looking to round out my argument and have a few different angles.

  there are rumors out, that the italy (rome) bethel is being shut down and putting out to pasture a large portion of the bethel staff.. has anyone heard anything... ?.

  the word is that everyone but the most senior members will be let go.

  the senior bethel family members will be reassigned.

  Categories of Former Jehovah's Witnesses

  by neverendingjourney in

  2. friends

  i was never disfellowshipped, but it's been about 10 years since i was an active jw.

  i've made an occasional meeting or half-day at an assembly here or there, strictly at the behest of family (maybe once a year), but i'm completely disconnected.

  more importantly, mentally i'm 100% free.. we all have a tendency to project our views and beliefs onto others, and tending to believe that other former jws share our views is no different.

  Greetings !

  Surely there exist that group of individuals who do obey Jesus Christ as Father wants (Matthew 17:5 )

  And obeying Jesus, they are seeking first God's Kingdom and God's righteusness as Jesus commanded (Mathew 6:33 )

  A Different View of "Peace and Security"

  by Bobcat in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  since the wt this week has the prediction of a "peace and security" event, i thought i would include a comment from the new american commentary (nac, d. michael martin, pp.159-60) on 1 thessalonians 5:2, 3.. here is the wt's position, according to this week's wt study (sep 2012 study edition, pp.3 4):.

  1 th 5:2, 3 is a "future development.".

  it happens "just before that day of jehovah.".

  "Paul's words are not describing the United Nations yelling "We have Peace and Security!" do they?"

  THAT is right !

  "We have the peace and the security" is what the "evil slave" (the GB) is crying (his motto ) - the essence and direction of his teachings , in order to blind others from God's will

  this just posted on a jw reform board at this link:.

  http://meletivivlon.com/2013/10/13/remember-those-who-instructed-you/#comment-4950.

  see acts 20:26-28.. if we do not speak out now, at this time, then no elder in any body of elders from around the world, will be able to repeat the words of paul, with a clear conscience.
