Thank goodness for the org's insights!
by BoogerMan inw52 2/1 p. 78 par.
7 jehovah’s theocratic organization today "when christ came for judgment in 1918 (1) he found some associated with this group that thought the lord had delayed his coming and they were oppressing their fellow slaves in christ.
these were cast off as the “evil slave” class.

The "Evil Slave" is just a literary construct and not part of a prophecy - iloowy.goowy
Then the "faithful and discreet slave" is also just a literary construct. And no prophetic fulfillment of anything.

by JohnTron7 inso the end was going to come by 2000 as documented in the magazines back in the late 80's early 90's.. so how did they get the time off so badly ( over two decades and still nothing) since the gb is jehovah's earthly mouthpiece right ?

They will have their own memorial service for the victims of the attack in Hamburg. “The feelings of the bereaved, as well as surviving victims, are of priority for the arrangements of the service” says their spokesman.
None of them will ever enter a church building for "false" religious services thinking it's not "true" worship.

For those believing in this ....
the cupcake is as littlle tied to a birthday celebration as is the memorial bread after the celebration is over.
It can be eaten.
