It is really true that they didn't consider themselves to be God's channel at one time. They thought Russell was God's Channel.

Question #1: How is it possible that God's Channel of communication didn't even know they were his Channel of communication?do you have the quotes handy from the WTS pubs for the above?Question #2: If the true anointed brothers of Christ have ALWAYS been God's sole Channel of communication to mankind since Penetcost 33 C.E., why would Jesus need to choose them in 1919; didn't he already know who God's Channel was?
Thanks,

Ok,
So the WT clearly teaches that the 'anointed' were God's channel of communication since 33 C.E which means God was using them up to the late 1800's when they got confused and started following Russel because they believed he (Russel) had been chosen by God to do the job that they must had forgot they were already doing. Then in 1918, three years after the 'faithful slave' died, God Re-chose them to do the job he had already given them in 33, and they did that job not knowing they were doing it until another man, Rutherford, told them they were doing this job. All this confusion despite their divine wisdom as God's channel of communication?
That makes sense.
