  That is, the "faithful and prudent slave" admitted that he is not a channel between God and people, but a group of ordinary people who have themselves appointed themselves and interpret the Bible by themselves ???So why did they then decide that in 1919 they were chosen by Jesus Christ.After all, Jesus clearly said how to distinguish a false prophet (Deuteronomy 18: 20-22).

  Who will help to find quotes from the Watchtower, that the words "faithful and discreet slave" come not from him, but from God.And that everything he writes in publications is true and true.?

  The question is .....does anyone care? The WTBTS makes up crap then finds low hanging fruit that they can use to prove they have god's spirit on them.

  Other then those who are delusional there is nothing there. Just the footprints of GB after they've painted themselves into yet another corner......... as they backed out of the room.

  You're right, Sergey. Not very discreet, are they?

  If they were "faithful and discreet" they would not have made such bold and extraordinary claims [which were later failed miserably by constant changing of teachings] to fit themselves into the fulfilment of another parable intended for the Pharisees: " When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: “When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this person your seat.’ Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”--Luke 14:7-11

  I was originally told by someone who claimed to be anointed that the 144,000 were the faithful and discreet slave class.

  Giordano - "...The WTBTS makes up crap then finds low hanging fruit that they can use to prove they have god's spirit on them..."

  It's often said that "you couldn't make this shit up".

  I think the WTS is proof positive of the opposite, actually.
