Dark Frosty,
Snail mail is indeed faster. I mean they claimed 1874 and it took them to 1943 to get the message "clear" that it should have been 1914. So actually the divine postoffice runs at 1000/69= 14.5 D-days. I wonder how that relates to God revealing his business to his prophets before he does something.....
@general.....well: according to the new organised book, they are the ones who got appointed over all the masters belongings including our asses. In that respect they have been very faithful. There does not escape them one week to point out how they must be obeyed.
They have been "discreet" as well. How many WT secrets do you know? For instance, they have been very good at hiding their financial situation and how they are running there books.....
"Slave"....I have a bit of a problem applying this property to those guys. I cannot help but think of two bible verses: 1Co 4:8 You are already satisfied; you already became rich; you reigned without us (and oh that you really did reign, so that we also might reign with you!)
1Co 4:9 For I think that God set us out last, the apostles, as appointed to death, because we became a spectacle to the world, even to angels and to men.
1Co 4:10 We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honored, but we not honored.
1Co 4:11 Until the present hour we also hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and wander homeless,
1Co 4:12 and labor, working with our own hands. Being cursed, we bless; persecuted, we bear;
1Co 4:13 being defamed, we entreat. We have become as filth of the world, dirt wiped off by all until now.
and Pro 30:21 The earth quakes under three things; yea, it is not able to bear up under four:
Pro 30:22 Under a servant when he reigns, and a fool when he is filled with food,
Pro 30:23 under a hated one when she is married, under a slave-girl when she is heir to her mistress.
Cheers
