    Jesus sent out seventy on one occasion. Was Paul not feeding the Gentiles, along with his many named helpers ? not a small group.

    Jesus also said they would be witnesses of HIM, not a GB in Jerusalem, or big J, but him, to the ends of the earth. All such witnesses would be "feeding" their listeners. To be accomplished such a work would involve many many people.

    If JW's cannot see through this utter tripe then there is no hope, they will remain in the cult till they die.

    Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day. But teach a man to wear a fishnet stocking for a mask and hold up a bank and you've taken care of him for life, one way or another.

    Phizzy:

    Good point. I was trying to remember verses that showed that Jesus had many more than just the 12 to help feed the crowds.

    Just before the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus had "a great crowd of disciples." (Luke 6:17)

    The feeding acount in Mt 14 occurs after this, but before many of his disciples left following him. The feeding account in John 6:1-15 is the same one as in Mt 14. The big 'defection' happens later. (John 6:60-66)

    first century pattern repeated now:

    Most valid ideas do not originate from the Gb and hangers-on,

    I st century: I meeting, I issue coming from the outside solved. Most doctrines defined by Paul, an outside writer.

    21 century: most new light is GB reaction to failed doctrines: 1925, 1935, overlapping GS, now FDS. ideas adopted from Apostate letters.

    I st century : I main resolution: the blood issue.

    21 century: ditto.
