BTW, Cedars, I just wanted to let you know I'm glad you finally realized that you are an apostate.
Of course we should always remember: Jesus was an apostate too!
i've just uploaded a new article to my website answering the question: "is jwsurvey.org an apostate website?".

besse cooper, the oldest verified living person, died yesterday at 116 years old.
you can read the yahoo news story.
as a problem for wt "theology", there are currently only about 70 supercentenarians, that is people still alive over the age of 110.. there are now only six people still alive that are 113 years old or older.
Yes, James I meant 1914. Good catch.

James Woods: And even more difficulty - I will lay you odds that NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM is a JW...who was an adult Russellite in 1914...
The current oldest living person is Dina Manfredini, born April 4th, 1897.
She would have been 17 in 1897, technically not an adult.
Don't know her religion.
But even if all six people that are over 113 are/were Russellites or JWs (which they clearly are NOT), it would be at least 1,999,995 short of the "millions now living that will never die."

so the fds does not include the apostles.
what part of the gospels aren't food at the proper time?
or am i just mixed up on who the fds are..
Cedars, you left out the last sentence in your quote. Here's the full quote from jw.org:
“Who Really Is the Faithful and Discreet Slave?”
The evidence points to the following conclusion: “The faithful and discreet slave” was appointed over Jesus’ domestics in 1919. That slave is the small, composite group of anointed brothers serving at world headquarters during Christ’s presence who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing spiritual food. When this group work together as the Governing Body, they act as “the faithful and discreet slave.” - Emphasis added

There are now only six people still alive that are 113 years old or older. It won't be long before they'll all be gone.
Evidently, this is what prompted their change to an "Overlapping Generation" as the explanation for what Jesus meant.

They haven't addressed how the FDS = the GB in 1919 when the GB did not come into existence until 1971.
I guess silly little things like facts don't really matter in WT "theology."
so, this morning was interesting.
i was waiting for the school bus with my daughter, and a jw comes up to me and goes into her presentation.
i was pretty tired.
sd-7: "The example of Jesus," I said, "It's inspiring, how he stood up to the...corrupt...religious organization of his time, that was burdening the people with a lot of rules and regulations."
Love it! Good job, well done.

with the recent boe letter that atlantis posted on jwn regarding older publications that needed to be destroyed or discarded from all kingdom halls and the new on-line library on jw.org which only goes back to the year 2000, i wonder if the gb 2.0 is about to eliminate the wt library cd which contains watchtower mags all the way back to 1950. is there even a cd for 2012?
if there is, i think it'll be their last cd before they go all on-line.
either way, it clear that the gb 2.0 (aka fds) has a plan to erase any evidence of their unsustainable bs in the last 130 years....
Notice their On-Line library only goes back to 2000
you may have heard the expression: "the map is not the territory.
" have you ever thought about how this idea may help you reach your loved ones stuck in a cult?
the phrase has been attributed to polish-american scientist and philosopher alfred korzybski.
Wow, everyone, just wow. So many great insights, comments and suggestions.
There are definitely some common themes emerging, but also some really thought-provoking ideas that I would have never thought of on my own. This is the amazing thing about a forum like this and the collaborative process.
Keep those ideas flowing. I'm loving it!
