EDIT: "is are" in the subject line. >< Oops.
I was thinking with the new revision we are up to FDS 3.0, but I'm actually not certain.
1.) C. T. Russell
2.) All of the 144,000 from Pentecost 33 to present day.
3.) Those Tasked With Dispensing Spiritual Food (Governing Body) from 1919 forward.
Was there something between 1 & 2, though?
Between 1 and 2 is something I'm really interested in right now. They threw Russell under the bus according to the original thread on this subject. I'm wondering if they've even considered making the case that he didn't have a heavenly hope sort of like John the Baptist. If they were selected in 1919, then technically Rutherford was the FDS, then the baton was passed onto Knorr, and lastly to the GB upon their inception in 1971.
I'm under the impression that everything between 1-2 is all in limbo. It was already a subject that was "left up to Jehovah" as only He can read the hearts of those one who lived during that time frame consisting of 2000 years prior to Rutherford taking over the WT.
