Howdy,
"Modesty on the part of the faithful and discreet slave class, commissioned to provide the Christian household with food at the proper time, prevents it from presumptuously running ahead and wildly speculating about things that are still unclear. "The slave class strives to avoid being dogmatic. It is not too proud to admit that as of now it cannot answer every question, keeping Proverbs 4:18 clearly in mind.
"But how thrilling to know that Jehovah, in his own due time and in his own way, will continue to reveal his secrets as to his purposes! Never should we become impatient with Jehovah's arrangement, indiscreetly trying to rush ahead of the Revealer of secrets. How reassuring it is to know that the channel Jehovah is using today does not do so! It is both faithful and discreet.--Matthew 24:45; 1 Corinthians 4:6."
From Watchtower w97 6/1 pp. 13, 14: A Secret Christians Dare Not Keep!
It just occurred to me - if one of us actually wrote that wonderful praise about ourselves - we'd be laughed at - and rightly so.
***********************
Listen to me because I am modest, but at the same time, I am commissioned to provide the Christian household with food. My modesty, prevents me from presumptuously running ahead and wildly speculating about things.
I strive not to be dogmatic, and I'm not too proud to admit that I don't have every answer. But how thrilling that Jehovah in his own way, will continue to reveal his secrets as to his purposes!
How reassuring it is to know that the channel Jehovah is using today, which is me, does not do so! I am both faithful and discreet.
Scriptures supplied to show that I feel that I'm correct.

We used to have a poster come on here basically saying the same thing about himself - and had a report to sell us for (I think) 19.95 + shipping. Several of us thought he was *slightly* mental.
But we accepted whole-souled when the WTBTS said basically the same thing! SMACK! to the forehead.
