    I don't have any problems thinking they are the slave class. God uses many people. But this is a legal thing also. If everything goes wrong, cause bad decisions, God is not gonna put blame on his son. But it's a legal thing. So someone has to have legal responsibility. There's comes the great arrangement with a slave class. So yeah they have claim they are slave class and only once that fullfil requirements. Great, now there's a group that takes responsibility to this disaster

    I could accept your first paragraph with the following correction

    ----

    Scholar is pleased with this comment..

    ----
    beginning in 1914 CE with the birth of God's Kingdom and the Parousia

    ----

    Parables by their very nature require interpretation so we interpret the parables in accordance with their context which context is plainly 'eschatological' i.e pertaining to the 'Last Days' or the Parousia which the biblical evidence proves its beginning in the celebrated year of 1914 CE a date validated by Bible Chronology and Modern History.

    1914, 1918, 1919 1922, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1928, 1929, 1975 all mythologically manufactured bogus dates with no evident biblical significance..

    The said scholar has nicely termed the three most significant prophetic dates in the Bible: 1914, 1918, and 1919 as an eschatological triennium. These dates are well established by means of Bible Chronology, Biblical Theology, Modern SecularHistory and the modern-day history of Jehovah's Witnesses as Proclaimers of God's Kingdom as shown and separately listed as such in WT Indexes for your perusal. So get cracking!!!! Scholar gets the whip out.

    Those who are interested in Eschatology should read A New Testament Biblical Theology -The Unfolding Of The Old Testament In The New by G. K.Beale, 2011, Baker Academic, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1047 pp. Wherein the author refers to an inaugurated eschatology which is nicely compatible with such inauguration of God's Kingdom in 1914 CE.

    So… not 1799, 1874 and 1878 😂 Or whatever future dates are selected that are just as ‘established’ 🤦‍♂️

    Faithful and Discreet Slave is nothing but a 'hijacked parable' by the WT Society to fit their own agenda.

    Sadly the above dates cannot be considered to be eschatological in nature for eschatology proper can only be realized with the advent of 1914 CE with the birth of God's Kingdom.

    It is all about the interpretation of two parables. Nothing more or less

    "Sadly the above dates cannot be considered to be eschatological in nature for eschatology proper can only be realized with the advent of 1914 CE with the birth of God's Kingdom.

    @scholar,

    Matt 24:7-8 NWT - “For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be food shortages and earthquakes in one place after another. All these things are a beginning of pangs of distress. NWT

    Okay, so God’s Kingdom was “born” in heaven in 1914, followed by “pangs of distress”? You do know how the Kingdom Interlinear translates this phrase? “Pangs of birth”.

    So, no, God’s Kingdom was not born in 1914. It doesn’t take a higher education to realize that labor pains, precede birth.

    Matt 24:3 - While he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?”

    Do you think Jesus knew that an organization of false prophets would try to defy the laws of nature and convince millions that birth pangs follow birth?

    I do believe this is why he said the following:

    4 In answer Jesus said to them: “Look out that nobody misleads you, for many will come on the basis of my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ, (“anointed”) ’ and will mislead many.

    It does not matter. You don't build a religion based on one scripture.

    @Scholar,

    The said scholar has nicely termed the three most significant prophetic dates in the Bible: 1914, 1918, and 1919 as an eschatological triennium.

    Can a person be a Christian if he or she doesn't believe that the events purported by Watchtower to have taken place on these three dates actually happened?

    In other words does one have to believe in 1914, 1918, and 1919 to be a Christian?
