Who Really Is The Faithful Slave? Really? W-7/15/2013

who really is the faithful slave?

i have, for some time, related to my family the underlying reason why the governors at headquarters (pg22p10) say what they say & do what they do.

simply put, they need to make themselves big.

The JW's have 8 but only as one body, so it like a octo-inity. 8 headed monster.
That's interesting observation ! .... and close to the truth
In fact, back in 1945 there were 7 (heads) and "one" body : THE BEAST. This is the beast from Rev 13:1,2.

TheOld Hippie, what you said is right
Yet , this letter (in the first post ) is not from TFJW / the member "fjtoth" has made a confusion / the letter is from an ex member of tfjw
a few years ago the leadership of tfjw have informed their members officially, through an "Informator" that that person (the autor of the letter) "is doing the Devil's work" and "manifesting the Devil's spirit" and that the "brothers" should avoid any contact with him. This does resemble with others practice...

WW I, the Gentile Times, and the Last days...the not so exact science of chronology
by Separation of Powers in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
essentially, the jw position regarding the end of the gentile times and the significance of 1914 revolve around a principal element, namely, that the "great war" (ww1) was an indication of the anger of the dragon, i.e satan, after being cast out of heaven per revelation 12:7-9 and the start of the sign of the last days.

this has always been a sticky point for the organization....why?.

because, based on their chronology, the gentile times ended in october 3/4 of 1914 with the last days commencing from that point on.

After studying the Bible I came to see/realize that God have ever known that He wrote regarding ancient events in an “hidden way” (Proverbs 25:2 ),

and so, He didn’t command to his worshipers to find the real/exact chronological data of events of human history (or about its empires and states from Adam until today)

in case He would command this , knowing how difficult is to come to a conclusion in chronology and how much time it requires , then God’s worshipers would be called “historians” not “Christians”

But now , a certain “chronology” still exist , and God does invite us to understand it , even in order to “know the judgement”

Ecclesiastes 8:
5. "Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing;
>> and a wise man’s heart discerneth time and judgment" <<

Yes , it is a good thing to know the time of God’s judgement !

here are Jesus words / Luke 19:

41. And when he drew nigh, he saw the city and wept over it,

42. saying, If thou hadst known in this day, even thou, the things which belong unto peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43. For the days shall come upon thee, when thine enemies shall cast up a bank about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

44. and shall dash thee to the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another;
>> because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.<<

here we are able to see that is a good thing to be able to recognize the time of our “visitation” >> that implies a little but necessary knowledge of “chronology”

But, what (kind of) chronology ?

The chronology God requires from us to search for, is part of prophecies regarding “God’s people during the latter days”, as He said to Daniel
chapter 10
14. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall
– thy people
– in the latter days; for the vision is yet for many days:

It follows that the chronology God is requiring from us/His worshipers to search for, is in fact
THE CHRONOLOGY of "THE LATTER DAYS" !

Here is a research on the “latter days chronology”, as I was able to put it in english:

For All Jehovah's Witnesses: When did Jesus begin ruling as King?
by Darth Rutherford in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
to all jehovah's witnesses, here is an easy question you can answer... when did jesus begin ruling as king?.

watch tower answers:.

following his resurrection, jesus ascended to heaven and waited at gods right hand until 1914 to begin ruling as king.
wantingtruth

Jesus received the authority both over heavens and over earth at his resurrection
yet He started ruling ( or exercising his authority) only in heavens
and had to wait ( only ) regarding the earth / the Kingdom authority is not yet implemented over earth
( the kingdom's coming on earth means also the end of wikedness)
these things were debated already here
