ok, so we all know that the basis the org uses for its power, authority, and supposed ability to speak on behalf of god is matt 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?".
but how can it possibly define the wt org?.
What is interesting to me is that if you consider the surrounding context and also a few other translations of this scripture it begins to seem that what Jesus was asking was actually a rhetorical question.
"Who are faithful and wise servants?" - Contemporary English Version
"Are you a wise and faithful servant of the Lord?" - Living Bible
"A faithful, sensivle servant is one to whom the master can give the responsibility..." New Living Translation
So, that's how I see it.
spent a lovely day yesterday in nyc with my lovely daughter off of school for spring break.
i like parking on the upper east side near the met.
look at art until mid afternoon or so, then catch a cab down to chinatown or lil italy for late lunch.
I've been seeing them everyday on my commute at the train station I use downtown (not NYC). I've never seen a single person talking to them, just 2 or 3 brothers or sisters standing around, looking like any other buskers.
I wish it was that easy to get time in way back when I was in. If I remember correctly I feel as if that kind of "preaching" was frowned upon, same as "street witnessing" were they would just stand around holding a WT and Awake.
