Faithful & Discreet Slave

BoogerMan

It was every JW taking part in the preaching work. LOL.

(Matthew 24:45) “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

w50 7/1 p. 199 par. 6 - Today the servants of Jehovah engaged in proclaiming the “good news” of the Kingdom...are busy in the King’s service “hunting” for the Lord’s other sheep, where they can be found. After they find one of the Lord’s sheep, they do as the Master told his disciple: “Feed my sheep.” Repeated visits are made on these, and home Bible studies are conducted with them, to the end that they may learn the good purposes of Jehovah...

Jesus: "you go to the ends of the earth to make one convert, and then make him a candidate of gehenna more than you" or words to that effect to the pharisees of his day.

wt hunting for the "other" sheep, then make them ransom decliners.

Defeat being snatched from the jaws of victory. The Watchtower had it right 72 years ago. It was a very different religion back then. More Christ-like I suppose.

Not to split hairs again but you may be reading into that 1950 quote. Might you have the paragraph?

truth_b_known....yes the organization was different, far more belligerent and bombastic than today.

No, you’ve made a false equivocation, based on misconstruing who they identified as the ‘domestics’.

If you read it with a WT spiritual worship filter in mind you see that it's saying only Jehovah's Servants, that's the anointed JWs who are the FDS and they go find the other sheep non-anointed ones to teach them WT doctrines.

Keep in mind that the name JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, only applied to the anointed. The Other Sheep had an array of names and monikers. When Knorr took over he applied the name to EVERYBODY in the Org and capitalized the W. It use to be Jehovah's witnesses.

Imagine, JWs we're appointed as the one true religion in 1919 and for over a century didn't know who the slave was, including those supposedly part of it. Generations (yes, plural) of BS and JWs lived and died and didn't know who was supposed to be taking the lead apparently.
