thesis: when someone who is given a responsibility mistakes that responsibility for authority, bullying is very likely to occur.. jesus spoke an illustration recorded at matthew 24: 45-51 which well illustrates this thesis.. jesus asked, “who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over all his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?

happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

truly i say to you, he will appoint him over all his belongings.

breaking news....there is hope for good hearted non-jws!!!.

according to sergio:.

are jehovah's witnesses the only ones to be saved during the end time?.

Is this the old Jehovah always had a visible organization argument?

Regardless, how is this evidence for 1919, Brooklyn, Watchtower, J. F. Rutherford and company?

Christ is our ark of safety from the wrath of God. There was only one door on the ark. Jesus is the door; not an unbiblical false prophet organization.

Of course they have to admit they are wrong when time runs out on their false predictions which originally were "not of human origin" and in retrospect were of man after all. Once they were the Lord's dates and now are man's speculation. Funny though how they never introduce new light as more speculation. Their speculation is always truth that must be believed as the word of God.

How many times have the changed their speculations and then gone back to their original speculation. Instead of the light getting brighter, it merely blinks on and off.

So Fisherman, is the 1919 appointment speculation truth. What is the evidence for the 1919 Brooklyn appointment on scripture?

Hi LHG,

Yes, times change. Hopefully though that should not change Christianity or it's message. JWs are the ones that claim they are most like first century Christians. My belief is to the contrary. As you say, I do believe we are seeing some revealing distinctions being made.

In 1919, these were the names of some of the Faithful Slave...although they never knew they were appointed. Their appointment was determined in 2012

J.F. Rutherford
