  So according to the parable, a master has a slave, he asks him to look after his animals and.....THEN goes away!

  After much time has passed....the master comes back and if he finds the slave has been loyal and has looked after the animals, he calls him a good slave, if not he is an evil slave.

  So my point is, jesus handed over responsibility to this slave BEFORE HE WENT AWAY, the slave was loyal and a good worker DURING HIS ABSENCE, then on his return he found him looking after his animals as he asked.

  Now i know we all see the parable for what it is .. The jesus character was saying "Whilst I'm gone, you have to remain loyal and obediant and ready for my return etc"

  But how does the Watchtower leaders explain how they could be the slave, when they were clearly not present at Jesus's going away 2000 years ago?(according to christianity). They do not explain the going away of jesus and the handing over of the animals at all. They just talk about his return and being found to be faithful and discreet. They have not explained THE MOST IMPORTANT PART.

  It doesnt make any sense.... to me. Surely the average JW will spot that glaring hole.

  Duh, why didn't I think of this? The timeline and circumstances don't align correctly for their interpretation to be anywhere near correct. This is a fantastic revelation. I will ask my jw loved ones to try to explain this one.

  **** going away 2000 years ago?(according to christianity).****

  Not ALL Christianity, partial and hyper preterism eschatology belive that Christ came back as promised at the judgement and destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and sometime around that period raptured his church and resurrected those in HIM. Thus the spiritual Jerusalem was born in the heavens, a holy temple of first century believers, aka spiritual 144k.

  wha happened?

  duh, supposedly he came back in 1919, but really didn't. But one thing for sure. There were no JW's in the 1st century when Jesus "left"

  Sorry crazy old guys from NY. There is no direct link between the 1st century and u. And even if u were, u did a really crappy job because you chose to stay idle until the 20th century

  Yeah. That makes sense. He came back in 1919. When he was already here from when he came back in 1874 1914.

  I personally dont believe ANY of it, but i make this point according to WTs own teaching, using their explonation of when he went away and when he returned as it doesnt make sense.

  Of course i didnt expect it to make sense. I am just posting this so people can discuss it with their JW loved ones, friends etc. I am what christians would call "atheist".

  its just terrible intepretation, logic or understanding on their behalf. Shocking that they missed this glaring hole. Makes me think they have REALLY RUSHED this teaching out. I think this was to stop any anointed coups. Last feb they repeated the old view in some literature, so this is a very new idea, the motive seems to protect power and assets. I dont think its a coincidence that some 'anointed' JWs have set up a website this year which openly questions some WT doctrines and decisions.

  Technically and possibly legally, until this new thought came out, the 'anointed'' could have taken over the whole sham.
