  Wild Theory on FDS New Light and Why the New Light

  by Comatose in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  so first, let me explain my mindset upon reading the new light regarding the fds.

  as has been commented almost universally i knew right away that a lot of people probably thought it was always this way.

  i found it shocking, but thats another issue.

  You know, I'm sure this must have been pointed out by someone else in this site before, but by all accounts if the 'slave' was appointed in 1919 then Rutherford was the FDS for many years, since a GB didn't exist then and back then the president was the one who had the final word on what went into the publications.

  To say that there was a GB in 1919 is just a blatant lie.

  Copyright of Food at the Proper Time?

  by The Song Remains The Same in

  1. watchtower

  1) i wonder why (or how) the wts can claim copyright over the food it dispenses, given that it says the food is spirit directed and from jehovah?

  surely the copyright should reside with jehovah himself?

  can you copyright god's word(s)?.

  Yes, I agree. Like when the WT Legal Department shut down JWSurvey.org for 24 hours for 'breach of copyright' because Cedars had linked to the BOE secret letter on child abuse.

  Why would Jehovah's words have to kept secret (they never were in the bible) and why does the WT have the copyright over them?

  Wow, that is very interesting.

  Mouthy, have you ever seen this website?

  meletivivlon.com

  The guy who posts there under the pseudonym of Meleti Vivlon appears to be an active JW who disagrees with several of the current doctrines —he has several posts on 1914, for example —but he still clings on to this as 'the truth'.

  Interesting as well.

  JWgift.org - the UK's Watchtower-sponsored website that "should not be seen as the soliciting of funds in any way"...

  Wow, Jesus!

  Even though the subject has been discussed before, thank you Cedars for bringing it up, I would never have known. This is very useful to show JW friends in denial.

  I am totally confoused who is the Faithful and Discreet Slave Class?

  by booker-t in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i have been hearing and reading on websites about some "new light" jws are saying concerning the faithful and discreet slave class.

  it sounds like the same information they have been saying for years.

  i was always taught the faithful and discreet slave class is the annoited governing body members dispensing food at the proper time for the non annoited jws.

  Guys, guys, the FDS has always been the GB as of 1919. The only thing is that Jehovah forgot to tell them...

  Yeah I thought the same Scotinsw, cultivating friendships with worldly people will only lead to spiritual detriment, the branch office should consider itself responsible for any witnesses realizing how loony the religion is when exposed to conditions which will make such a realization even more evident...

  Exactly, Gladiator. Like when he debunked the first 3 chapters of Genesis in his Animals show.

  Also, what did the land animals do that made God so angry so he had to destroy them but not the sea animals?

  just wondering if questioned, which faction watchtower followers would favour, and which they would deem apostate:.

  faction a - works, merits or organisation based salvation.

  I also wonder if any conscious member of the Writing Department slips in on or two of their thoughts in the publications which go against GB doctrine.

  Perhaps ex-Bethelites might help us on this one.
