Is it the reading out loud of the scriptures to others? Is the food literal food which is fed to people hungry for literal food to feed their literal tummies?
Jesus did both, so do some charities.
if anyone were to come up to you claiming that they are the faithful and discreet slave, how would you go about proving them to be false, based upon scripture?.

Lucky us, to be on this planet that takes ~31 500 000 seconds to get back to the same relative position to it's star. of the past/in the future. When the sun was heavier, it might have been 31 415 926 seconds in a year, --perfect,

something jumped out at me that i never paid attention to while reading further into matt 26...in vs 28, he tells them his blood is to be poured out for the many for forgiveness of sin.
but note vs 29 but i say to you: i will no menas drink again any of this product of the vine until that day when i drink it new with you in the kingdom of my father.
cross reference luke 22:18 for i tell you , from now on, i will not drink again from the product of the vine until the kingdom of god comes.. what is the point of all of this: matt 26:29 " i drink it new with you " mark 14:25 " drink new in the kingdom of god.
Since Noah's flood and the destruction of Lot's Sodom & Gomorrah are symbols/types for the Armageddon devastation, the change into the wt New World, the kingdom to come, ---
In both instances wine and its warming, warning effects are told as an immediate feature of the better times ahead.
keep the drinking in the family.

They taste nasty to me after if I taste any alcohol or vinegar or mold in them.
Dijw, good wine is supposed to age for a few years. Your distaste for alcohol will serve you well. the stuff is not a life preserving substance. but
in the first miracle story, the celebrants, as they ran out of wine, were dulled to the extend, that they could not taste the difference between the "perfect" product of the miracle, and a "pioneer special" ancient equivalent.
after thought: 1000 years of full time wt service will drive you to drink, holding your nose.

A fellow pioneer, 60 years ago had this motto, raison d'etre : in the New World I am going to be a one crop farmer: vine yards, grapes. or
as was said in one movie punch line: "these grapes are very intelligent fruit, they know how to trun themselves into wine."
It is doubtful that in the future, much attention will be paid to keep fermentation from happening. It is natural.

......regarding the 'slave's' statement which says the "great crowd" must also "figuratively partake?".
w87 6/15 p. 19 par.
13 - "in 1986: it was appreciated that both the remnant and the “great crowd” must figuratively partake of jesus’ flesh and blood by accepting his sacrifice in order to be in harmony with him.
The new covenant is named in contrast to the old, mosaic covenant. All of Israel, including permanent residents were to obey, benefit from the old covenant.
wi has developed the strange idea that only the priests and kings are in the new covenant, not everyone.
Strange that the 144 000 partakers, royals and priest all, "come out of the 12 tribes of Israel [of god] "
"spiritual" Israel is clearly bigger than just the partakers. the anointed, chosen, sealed are in the kingdom covenant, all the tribes, all the members are in the new covenant.
The New covenant leads to everlasting life, being king, priest with Christ means more, immortality, but
Everlasting life, when sacrificed, leads to immortality. You have to partake to get everlasting life, whether you live it or lose it by the ax, Rev.20.
It is enlightening to have the heavy burden of mixed up wt doctrine removed from one's load,
curious.

who remembers 1975, the ray franz incident, the generation change in 1995, the blood fractions, alternative service, participation in ochr, aid afrique, the historical research by james pellechia, jolene chu and johannes stephan wrobel?
More recent history: David Splane in an official presentation said that older anointed ones than Fredrick Franz, the near centenarian existed, exist. . Those 2groups, if overlapping by ~20 years, as Franz did in 1914, would bring the Great Tribulation to ~ 2075. Do the math. (2x100)- (2x20) = 160, +1914 = 2074 as rapture of the anointed generation, then battle in 2075. + 1000 = 3075, not 2975 as asserted above, beginning of final test.
cleaned those numbers up for you.

a related question is, with relief from the effects of sin 1000 years away, why would the celebration of the memorial, the covenant for forgiveness of sin stop during the great tribulation, after the overlapping anointed generation of 1914 has passed away? after all,
The kingdom did not come in 1914, it's coming is still being prayed for.

The wt "generation" theories were formulated by writers who had no child birth or family experience. They counted on their personal uniqueness as a way into the future, not passing on life, their genes. The generation narrative in Mathew does not fit a second fulfillment, anointed or overlapping.
The only fitting specimen of the generation would be an armageddon survivor who dies at the latest in the rebellion after the 1000 years have ended. " Passing away after all has occurred."

vienne, I had the privilege to give a ride to an older german witness going to the old Gilead school site in Lansing NY, driving from the NY City Yankee stadium assembly, going north.
He explained to me, that one of the hardest part of the incarceration was the wt doctrine of the absentee superior authorities,(Rom 13) that the nazi interrogators, and other conscientious objectors could prove to the bibel forschers to be wrong. He was talking about the 1940s.
Imagine facing death, with valid doubts about your religion org.'s beliefs.
The wt's return to scriptural beliefs on that was in the 60s, later than 1958. I remember the day.
I was studying with a baptist, going through the "let god be true book." with him. On Rom 13, I tried to give a brilliant defence of the untenable wt position. ha ha. then, coming home to to our pioneer home, there was the brown wt subscription wrapper on our bed, (like in bethel) whats new? voila, "question from reader": Rom 13 applies not to the father and son, but the governments. wow.
As the baptist had said "wt has made you a false prophet" ( spokesman for God) right, , ---I woved, --will not happen again.
wt still leads it's members to possible condemnation by making them preach wrong, outdated doctrines.
