"Who really is the faithful and discreet slave...?"
With those words Jesus created a mystery - that now
can be solved!
All you have to do is make the tiny(!?) assumption
that the 'faithful slave' is the body of men who
lead the Watchtower Society. It then becomes obvious
who these men are by analysing who actually directs
the day to day activities and future intents of the
Society. Such members of this august body would have
final say over what gets into print - and have full
control of the organizations' financial resources.
Logically, they would be:
Lawyers - and
Stock market speculators
in the Society's employ.
If you were ever an elder, how many letters did you
ever read from the Governing Body - that were actually
written by lawyers? Plenty, I'll bet! Does this give you
a clue who's in charge?
Here's a mental image:
A group of very old men are huddled in a tight circle,
fearful and uncomfortable, seated on the ground.
Around them are men standing as protectors, wielding
heavy briefcases marked "Esquire", fending off the
stones and arrows flying towards them. On one side,
a spectacled account builds a barracade out of computer
monitors displaying live stock quotes.
Ah, glorious theocracy!
