According to the March 1, 2004 WT., the 2 parables "shed light on events in 1919 or thereabouts, they apply IN PRINCIPLE to ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS throughout the last days. In this way, while the exhortation that Jesus gave at the end of the parable of the ten virgins applies in the first place to anointed Christians before 1919, IN PRINCIPLE, it still appliesc to EVERY CHRISTIAN.".......I capitalized that quote to show that the Watchtower is eroding the FDS and the parables that have always applied to them by including the "great crowd". The article even says that "they too keep their oil supply abundant through study and association.And they let their light shine, sharing in the work of preaching and teaching and thus "doing business' along with their anointed brothers"................WHAT'S YOUR OPINION OF THIS ARTICLE???

The study articles are entitled-----"A Slave Who Is Both Faithful And Discreet" and "The Faithful Slave Passes The Test"......THE ARTICLES EMPHASIZE THE ANOINTED but it all ends up as every "class" is the same. They mentioned the "classes" just as good old Russell and Rutherford did!

If you read on par 20 site 18, it says we are the only one as can give food in proper time, even if we are few, we canè not turn this over to the big crowd,
radher clear I think, perhaps some can think about way they need to say this, didnt we all now that before?

Next thing you know - the regular JW's will not need the FDS, or annointed as an intermediary between them and Jah?
Or has that teaching been given the blinking light?
Thanks

who was asleep or brain dead when that teaching was first slipped in

Boy, talk about ``Vomit Alert:" The titles of these wretched articles ought to be accompanied by a warning of some sort!
