Who really is the faithful and discreet slave?

by Fisherman in

“who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” — math 24:45. according to jw, the faithful and discreet slave are the “anointed” men of the “governing body” of the jehovah’s witnesses religion..

In the Bible, God is not the author of slavery. Slavery originated with humans. He worked along with it and tolerated it as with human suffering until he takes action in the future —as the Bible explains.

Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

You are telling me God did not author this? Who did? And which parts of the bible are authored by God and which parts are authored by man?

True, many things in the Bible agree with our senses but when your senses or beliefs or standards conflict the Bible, too bad, the Bible is still the standard for Christians.

So you are telling me that there is nothing wrong with slavery. Got it. Wow.

Bible trumps your opinion. —As it relates to the Bible.

So you are saying because it is in the bible, slavery is good? Are you available for purchase? Can I then beat you mercilessly as long as you get up in two days?

Exodus 21:20-21 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

Comparing anything to a slave as being a good thing is anything but a blessing. Which begs the question, why didn't Jesus say anything about slavery being a bad thing? Or did he say something but his disciples didn't bother to record it? Either way the bible (the so-called "word of god") endorses slavery.

Slavery is an awful thing. For a bunch of fools in New York to pretend they are some sort of "Faithful and Discreet Slave" is a very sick term to use. If you are using a book that endorses a detestable thing like slavery in any form as some sort of moral guideline, then there is something wrong with you. This goes for both literal slavery and metaphorical slaves like those in New York.

According to Wikipedia:

As of 2018, the countries with the most slaves were: India (8 million), China (3.86 million), Pakistan (3.19 million), North Korea (2.64 million), Nigeria (1.39 million), Indonesia (1.22 million), Democratic Republic of the Congo (1 million), Russia (794,000) and the Philippines (784,000).

Geehovah Dollars, maybe Watchtower can develop its own crypto. Remember when they had the meal tickets at conventions? You had to exchange money for these tickets which were then used to purchase sandwiches and drinks.

Kneel before me, for I am an ... Activist!

To me an activist is simply a rebranded word for troublemaker. This goes double for climate activist.

september 2022 study watchtower - par.

14 p. 18 - "in the past, we understood jesus’ words to refer to the deeds the resurrected ones will practice after their resurrection; that is, some will come to life and practice good things while others will come to life and practice vile things.

Are people being resurrected just so they can be executed?

I would call that overkill.

It's been a while since I've been to this thread. But, I thought they were divorcing.

The true love of money conquers all. There would have been a time I could have felt sorry for Dijana, but not any more. Hopefully the children learn from this and can live a good life when they're grown.

I do have a question regarding the "bunker," Lloyd and Tibor. Is Lloyd moving his wife, daughters, and in-laws out of the moldy house or just Tibor and him? I'm not surprised by the mold because improper building happened within the basement. You don't cover cement basement walls with absorbent materials like drywall and not expect something like that to happen.

I do think it is possible the mold discovery is a convenient way of saying he was evicted. One thing is for certain this year has been very costly to Lloyd. The multiple vacations, the apartment, a future studio, the loss of patrons, whatever he paid his lawyer for lawsuits that are going nowhere and who knows what else has absolutely impacted his plans to buy an island.
