    So, Jesus appoints them to be his FDS in 1919, but omits to tell them for 11 years ?

    That's like appointing me as the Great Panjandrum of my local Rotary Club or whatever, but forgetting to tell me for a decade,

    so who officiates for the decade ?

    How could the FDS be dispensing "food at the proper time" if they didn't even know they were the FDS ??

    Is this cult crazy by any chance ?

    The key work is the article 'Servant - Good and Evil' in w27, Feb. 15, p. 54f., particularly noting par. 33 onward. It's the one where the identification of the FDS changes from Russell to the 144,000 class.

    I think there is reference to this in the 1926 WT of Aug 1st (?) , sorry don't have a scan, around pages 228/9 ?

    I commented on this WT on another thread as follows:

    " There really is no scriptural argument presented, simply , "I, (Rutherford), think this scripture means this, so it does", and this forms the foundation of the modern religion ? boy, talk about a house built on sand !"

    I also came to the conclusion that nowhere in the WT's huge torrent of words is the Doctrine actually explained properly !!!!!

    The whole basis for the very existence, and authority of the Governing Body as the FDS is not proved anywhere !!!!!!

    I guess that between 1919 and 2014 the gang at Brooklyn were "Interim FDS". Then, in 2014, they got promoted to "FDS".

    All made up!

    Rutherford's own self induced fabrication to cultivate appealing support toward the WTS.

    which he took over as the head editorial writer.

    Well why not create bullshit to support and uphold previously established bullshit, its all

    free and open in Americanized religious Charlatanism.

    It's a convoluted bit of everything: Elijah passing on the mantle to Elisha, the "virgins" being on alert, etc.

    They took it upon themselves to be the Lord's people and afterward tweaked the Scriptures to fit in.

    There have been many diversely created doctrines the leaders of the WTS. came up with over the years,

    but there is one thing in common with just about all of these endeavorers by the head writers of the WTS.

    and that was to get people to read their literature and them keep reading their literature, which

    the organization publishes.

    Fictitious self notarization of a assumed identity as " The Chosen Organization " was and is an engaging part

    of this particular religious publishing house.

    All of these efforts by these men were endeavored in cultivating their own self empowerment as leaders of

    this organization as well to enhance the sustainability of the distribution of the organization's published goods. $$$
