Oh wait I just say your reply. My answer was not satisfying? I answered no and even gave my reason as to why I feel that way.

My answer was not satisfying? I answered no and even gave my reason as to why I feel that way.

It's not that it wasn't satisfying, it just was a satisfying answer to a question I wasn't asking. I didn't mean, "Is it possible that they aren't annointed?" I meant, "Is it possible that they are mistaken in identifying themselves as the 'faithful and discreet' slave"

I appreciate you thinking about it and giving a considered answer, and I'm sorry about the confusion. I presented the question in a way that led you to answer a different one. (I do it to my wife all the time, I know it's me.)

So, the question is: "Is it possible that they are mistaken in identifying themselves as the 'faithful and discreet slave'?"

Not "are they mistaken", but only "is it possible".

Will you answer it? Or at least consider it?

Thanks!

My answer would be no

Ok. Willing to discuss? (I will assume you are, but if not, just ignore this. You have the right to discuss/not-discuss whatever you want.) So you recognize that the men running the Watchtower (currently encapsulated in the Governing Body) can make errors. (e.g., Romans 13:1 and identification of the 'superior authorities', 1975, 'this generation') And you recognize that the Watchtower itself says they are not inspired, not infallible, capable of error. And you understand that you only know that they are the modern-day "faithful and discreet slave" because they have identified themselves as such. Yet you feel that in this one point they are incapable of error. I don't understand that. Either you are capable of error, and therefore all your decisions are suspect. Or you are infallible and none of your decisions are suspect. I don't see how you can be "mostly infallible", as it were. You provided your reasoning on the other question. Can I ask you to "show your work" on this one, too? Dave
