  It is the organization so it must be under the rule of governing body and that governing body should explain the Bible the way it will uphold the existence of the organization. Matthew 24.45-46 proves that there must be some over other who give spiritual food to those who are under the rule of that faithful servant.

  Luke 9.49-50 allows for exception one may be a servant of God without belonging to any local church organization that is biblical but that servant cannot be against the true religious group.

  I am not against Jehovah's Witnesses while being an indpendent christian for some 36 years .This can be done by you as well .

  I don't have exactly the same interpretaion of the Bible like Jehovah's Witnesses share but recognize them as the only true christian church organization.

  FAIL. The Watchtower Society says and you believe Matthew 24:45-46 proves the aforementioned. There is nothing in the bible that proves a person or group would appear in the late 1800's/early 1900's that would be the faithful servant or a so-called faithful and discreet slave "class". This is a notion and concept to justify the organization's leadership authority.

  The Watchtower Society's governing body believes they have the authority and power to pick and choose what to apply, how to apply it, what refers to whom, what is symbolic, what refers to a group, or group of people, and what belongs to individuals.

  Just because you like the story they tell and how they put together the pieces, doesn't make it TRUTH. It just makes you a follower/believer of their interpretation of matters, despite the hypocrisy and flip-flopping in their teachings.
