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

by booker-t in

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.

There is no such thing as the faithful and discreet slave "class". It is one person. How can you read the scripture and say that it is a class of people?

45 “Who really is the faithful and discreet* slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?+ 46 Happy is that slave if his master on coming finds him doing so!+ 47 Truly I say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings. 48 “But if ever that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’+ 49 and he starts to beat his fellow slaves and to eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,+ 51 and he will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his place with the hypocrites. There is where his weeping and the gnashing of his teeth will be.+

The W.T.S. are decieving the masses with their teaching of the faithful and discreet slave.......just read the scripture to know that it is one person. Their is "one" master and "one" slave.....

Keep seeking first the Kingdom of GOD, and all of these other things will be added to you. My daily struggles from those that choose to deal injustice to me. They will stand before me in judgment and they will know their wrong doing and will be punished for it. Even the wicked spirits including satan shall know that Almighty GOD is with me. He will pay back what it is that they are deserving. I have walked the path of the faithful servant and have seen good and bad, happiness and sadness. I await you Almighty GOD, for Your Day is upon us. Please rescue your servant and all of those that are oppressed by the wicked and all of this calamity.....AMEN

The Slave

1 Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2 Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 3 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. 5 Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 T hey gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. 7 Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God. 8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? 9 When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. 10 In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word. 11 In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me. 12 Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. 13 For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

Goodbye JWD/JWN (my last post)

by slimboyfat in

jw
friends

after some considerable thought i have decided that i will no longer post on this forum because i want to return to jehovah.

thank you for all the kindness and many interesting discussions over the years.

i wish you all well in the future and the decisions you make.

Whether it is Jehovah, Allah, G_D, or Whomever you prefer to call our creator, why do people allow an organization to cause them to drift away from GOD? It is not humans that you are serving, but an All Loving GOD. Return to GOD despite what you believe or which faith you choose to follow. It is the intent of your heart that will save you, not a specific religion or organization. I am with GOD no matter what church I attend or what I believe. I choose to believe what makes sense to me, not what someone else is forcing upon me. Love GOD, not the organization that claims to represent Him.......

How to prove God does not exist?

by UBM101 in

many times (almost all the time) atheists asking for proof of god's existence from those who believe that god exists.

perhaps at times they should prove he doesn't exist.

any taker?

Stauros

If there would be absolutely NOTHING, the non-existence of a creator would be proved.

the non existence of a god is easier. ?

Please explain......I have no idea what you mean ? ? ?

Doing Something Positive: New Website

by daringhart13 in

hey gang....i've been trying to do something positive.

i'm not trying to reinvent the wheel....but as part of my own healing and catharsis, i'm trying to help others a little.. i know many here have done similar.. i'd appreciate any feedback you might have on my new facebook page.

thank you in advance!.

Stauros

I guess it could be useful for those that are truly affected by a religious organization. I for one left without any scars left behind. I do not hold onto regrets or hurts that will continue to affect my happiness. So you do not agree with the teachings of a certain religion. Move on and find one that you agree with. Do not let it bring you down or cause you anxiety in your life......

There is no way to prove that GOD does not exist. There exists too many creations and wonderful designs that are similar, i.e., they all reproduce, have eyes, ears, mouths, nostrils (gills), etc. Take man and women for example. They are created to interact even in body design. There is no need for me to be specific, you can think this out for yourselves. Just accept the fact that GOD exists. Why even attempt to dispute the fact that He does?

"Apostates" Who Return To Their Own Vomit

by minimus in

friends

once you realize ttatt, how can anyone with half a brain, go back??.

.

Stauros

Truth is truth and a lie is a lie. How can anyone believe what is not true? Just because someone chooses to fellowship with JW's once again does not mean they are returning to their vomit. You will not find one single faith or religion that teaches all in truth. There are misconceptions and misunderstandings of the word in all faiths.........if not the JW's who else would you fellowship with? You will not agree with teachings of other faiths as well......
