A Potemkin Village
by "Unknown"
And yet, this whole "slave", before whom the witnesses stand paying homage, for whom they pray, they always lead in the mouth and they obey almost blindly, whatever and when he says something, is for them a structured Potemkin village. Yes, I want to say that the Russian prince Potemkin was a choirboy compared to the ability of this organization, to demonstrate the witnesses things that are not real.
Prince Potemkin had feigned his Czarina only by the silhouettes of large villages a non-existing material wealth of the empire. The organization, however, makes the witnesses in the hope of resurrection and life dependent on their position toward the slave. Their Bible understanding is determined by the slave, their behavior to their fellow man is governed by the slave, etc., etc.. Yes, their whole life is slave-determined. It is tricked them, everything was dependent on their relationship to the slave, and yet ultimately the slave itself is only a fiction. - Why?
Let us assume that he by Jesus mentioned slave would be collectively the 8000 anointed Jehovah's Witnesses (which is not the case, but is to stand here as an acceptance) and he would be instructed with the direction of earthly interests of Jesus, so each witness knows that these 8,000 people but several few, perhaps a dozen, do not habe anything to do with the direction of this work.
Then you hear everytime at once the following objection: "The slave class is represented by the Governing Body!". But in the private sector no witness would want to be represented by someone he would have not asked explicitly. What about the slave? Did the slave class instruct the members of the Governing Body, intended or authorized to act in whatever way as a substitute for them? And when new members join the governing body, because death has made gaps, are then they determined by the community of anointed?
Both questions are answered in the negative. The governing body does not get its power of representation from the collective slave; the slave class has not to determine or manage, as a class it has nothing to report, as little as the "great crowd" of non-anointed Christians (by the way: Christian is called in German: Anointed; are there also not anointed anointed?).
The faithful and discreet slave as the by the Lord instructed leader of his people is mentioned constantly, but it is even less real than a Potemkin village. It is less than the cracked reed of Egypt (Isaiah 36:6) - Jehovah's Witnesses are based on the slave; but they are based on a phantom, instead of relying solely on God (Proverbs 3:5) and his anointed, Christ, in whom alone is salvation (Acts 4:10-12).
How little reliable and trustworthy this "slave" is in his teaching and biblical interpretation, shows - once again - the "new light", which it lets light up in the Watchtower of 15th February 2008.
