NWT Bible - Matthew 24:45-51 says:
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? 46 Happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so. 47 Truly I say to YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings.
48 “But if ever that evil slave should say in his heart, ‘My master is delaying,’ 49 and should start to beat his fellow slaves and should eat and drink with the confirmed drunkards, 50 the master of that slave will come on a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, 51 and will punish him with the greatest severity and will assign him his part with the hypocrites. There is where [his] weeping and the gnashing of [his] teeth will be.
Lets examine the logic by following these steps....
- lets look at the KJV version to understand everything in a better way. KJV Matthew 24:45 says: " Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?" - use the word household instead of domestics.
- Imagine a man named John. John is a very rich man with a big house and lots of servants. He has a head-servant named Paul. So, John is going away on vacation, and gave specific instructions to Paul on how to maintain his household. Paul accepts all the instructions, and is expected to perform all his duties in the abscence of his master.
- John goes away, and Paul takes care of everything, in the abscence of his master. During Jesus time, there were no cell phones, so obviously in the illustration we cannot imagine any type of communication that exists today. In other words, Paul is supposed to follow instructions that his master left behind.
- The Faithful and Discreet slave according to Jesus' story was 1 slave (singular), and was supposed to work alone based on instructions previously received.
- The Governing Body has 8 members and dont fall into that singular category.
- The GB claims to be that Faithful and Discreet Slave feeding the master's household at the proper time. Yesterday's food is today's trash. What you ate yesterday can be toxic for you today. That's true in just 2 cases... physical food, and JW books.
- The GB claims that they are receiving instruction and New Light from Jehovah himself. After Jesus' death, not even Paul received messages from Jehovah. None of the apostles ever communicated directly with the Almighty. The GB however claims to have the luxury of communicating directly with Jehovah.
- If the Faithful and Discreet slave does not comply with the instructions received previously and beats the fellow slaves, his master will cut him into pieces (according to the KJV and NIV)
- The Organization was not cleansed in 1919 because until 1925, they were celebrating christmas. JW's have been worshipping Jesus until 1950.
So..... There you have it. The GB cannot be the Faithful and Discreet Slave, not logically and not Biblically.
