So let me get this straight:
The Governing Body is the Faithful Slave whose role is to provide spiritual food at the proper time. The "kitchen" is the Watchtower Writing Department. And it just so happens that there's a guy in there that goes by the name of Kenneth Cook? And now this Cook has been appointed to provide spiritual food by leaving the "Kitchen" to work as a part of the Faithful Slave who provides spiritual food?
It's all an elaborate joke, right? The idea of appointing an additional GB member came up during a GB meeting and someone said: "Hey wouldn't it be funny if we appointed Cook? Cook ... spiritual food ... get it? Besides, he's already in the 'kitchen'. LOL"
I find the kennedy-Lincoln coincidences far more intriguing.
