    Typical Watchtower talking-point.

    The WTS or the "Faithful and Discreet Slave Class" has hardly demonstrated a clear grasp of Bible prophecy and it's outworkings.

    Case in point: The major "prophetic" teachings that were promoted by Russell and Rutheford are now "old light". Not only that, but these works are filled with so much moronic nonsense, that they are not even stocked in Kingdom Hall libraries. When a group of men appoint themselves as "Jehovah's channel of communication" to mankind while demanding that their fellow Christians give them unwavering obedience, they better have a track record to prove it. What has the Watchtower demonstrated? A scrap heap of failed predictions, and discarded teachings. This is hardly the characteristic of a Slave that is faithful and "discreet".

    Rutheford's diatribes against religion, the "Millions Now Living Will Never Die" sales slogan, and the Watchtower organization placing itself into the role of mediator is clearl a "new gospel" which the apostle Paul warned Christians to avoid. When Rutheford "made an ass of himself" as he put it, he not only wounded his fragile ego; but he damaged the credibitlity of the Bible itself. This is hardly the behavior of a "Faithful and Discreet Slave".

    Oh, and by the way, where is the King of the North these days? Perhaps more "new light" will replace the "old light" on this King of the North quandary. Changing prophetic pronouncements like light bulbs is hardly a characteristic of a organization which truly has God's spirit.

    If no group, including them, has a clear understanding of Bible prophesy, why go along with any of them? Why choose any evil at all, even if you think it might be the "lesser" of the evils?

    They claim to be the faithful and discrete slave, a prophet class, not the frequently mistaken and goofily speculative slave.

    Goofy speculation does not equal direction by God - which is one of the things they use the goofy speculation to prove.

    Why not just pick any goofy-speculation religion [or fictional writer for that matter] to put your faith in?

    Interesting topic Mad! Thanks for posting it on this aposate forum where you should not be to begin with. LOL! Just kidding, you know I love ya.

    IMHO, I don't need to have the right answer to recognize a false one. Enough said.

    Why, yes, it is a problem if the religion uses that goofy speculation to base their authority. Baseless speculation, baseless authority.

    By the way, wise congregations avoid all such useless speculation. It's as silly to argue who sits on Jesus' right hand (Matthew 20:20-28), or to build shacks for resurrected worthies (Matthew 17:1-9).

    It's all about their arrogance Mad! They are the very antithesis of Faithful and Discreet.
