i have a question about the implications of the new light regarding the f&ds.
sorry if it sounds complicated, i'm not good at explaining things.. .
if the f&ds is now just the few brothers who get together to dispense the food at the proper time, and the f&ds will be appointed over all of christ's belongings, then does that mean they will be appointed above the rest of the 144,000 when they go to heaven?
From what I have gathered --since they have not yet laid out all the details of this new light-- is that the 144k are now the domestics along with the earthlings when it comes to the channelled AUTHORITY. The rewards stay the same and are grandfathered in at this time.
The Faithful and Discreet Slave only exists when a special gathering takes place. When these special 8 domestics gather, they combine and transform into the Faithful and Discreet Slave, kinda like a theological VOLTRON.

8 million eh? Wow evidence of Jehovah's blessing just keep on coming! Praise Jah you people!
Now...if he can only prevent the other 20 million from getting into the hands of those heathen apostates...
some people leave because they are fed up with the elders.
others have personality issues.
some have doctrinal and prophecy reasons.
When I found they absolutely had no authority given to them by Jesus in 1919.
we know the "bar" for pubs.
was lowered, 15 min/month pubs are counted.
increases in pubs are decreasing annually, 1.9% worldwide, .9% u.s. .
They really have been harping this at the meetings and well, people are buying it.
i have often wondered if there is any actual archealogical evidence that jesus existed other than the claims of the bible.. i don't want to go down the route of 'you can't prove he didn't exist' as this is tiresome.
or 'well pontius pilate existed we found a stone with his name on so it follows jesus existed!
' that won't cut it.
whoever drew that is amazing!
1. my husband's time is finite, it's wasted on spouses arguing over money, sex or family mattters with stupid home visits.. .
i hate people's constant open hand for money, it's the weak individuals asking others to pull their weight.
my family worked extra hours instead of begging the strong members for district assembly money, cat food for seven cats or tiny little rag-a-muffins weiner dogs.. .
Does she even realize this place is THE apostate website of websites?

hey folks i recently celebrated my very first birthday party!
there was a big "one" candle on the cake and we had a blast.
it felt great to be "normal" and just do what other people do.
I've found that if you tell them that anniversaries and the entire wedding arrangement (ceremony and rings) are of pagan origin, most Jdubs STFU.
I go even further by educating them on how make-up, jewelry and the braiding of hair was condemned in the bible and of pagan origin.
A few months ago I spoke with an Elder and some ministerial servants at a gathering and asked them, "Why is it that we do not follow the jewish traditions or festivals which Jesus celebrated/followed?" They were a bit stumped but they began reasoning that Jehovah lost favor with the Jews when they killed Jesus and so the Jewish religion and its traditions are apostate.
Everything is either pagan or apostate if it doesnt originate with the Watchtower Society. Even practices found in early Christianity from the 1st century later is considered apostate christendom. These cult leaders are such hypocritical debbie downers
this has been a subject that has been explored by many secular scholars today.
bart ehrman is one of them.
the divinci code had this to say about why the gospels were chosen:.
I have read opposing views and they are all from evangelical biased sources with the agenda of proving foundamentalism. Have you read his book?
