And the capital of Israel was ...
by Doug Mason inthe capital of biblical israel was samaria.. jerusalem was the capital of judah/benjamin.. the modern state of israel is not named after the biblical nation of israel.
it is named after a man.
it is named after jacob, the lion of judah, who was later given the name of israel.

And remained the official capital even after the break away, because the law-making-defining body was really the priesthood, centered in the temple there. Judah = rule, Benjamin, Moses= Law.
The population of all of Jacob=Israel were supposed to pilgrim to Jerusalem for the festivals.
Knowing what we know about the certainty of bible promises. I would not want to be there.

The Logo coming down was a super size cart message, without the wheels. Near Brooklyn Bridge, which had several attempts on it to being sold to suckers. The WT sign sold a " brooklyn bridge" type hope, impossible to be delivered by the corporation.

by RULES & REGULATIONS infaithful and discreet slave parable.
matthew 24:45-47 "who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?
happy is that slave if his master on arriving finds him doing so.

Among the new partakers since 2013 are probably very few aspirants to one of the few jobs in the Feeding Slave or to Govern in the Body.
The idea, 1) to be immortal rather than have only the perilous everlasting life, 2) to get rid once and for all of the bothersome body with all it's demands, 3) to have Jesus as a mediator, 4) to gain instant access to the ransom, 5) to be, as Christ's brother, sister, the recipient of all the largess of the Other Sheep.
by just one drink, one bite is enticing. It was only slightly more enticing before 2013, errr 1919, when you became then also a member of the F&DS.

In wt understanding a member can be part of the F&DS at one time, but a domestic, receiver, at different situations. WT writer, but receiving his newest wt magazine on his bed in bethel. in former times. Did bethelites have a subscription, brown wrappers?

Iutbad: "--the remnant of the ‘anointed’ scattered worldwide were probably writing letters, asking questions, offering unsolicited input and suggestions, trying to help supply “food at the proper time
good points, but none of the pertinent but unwelcome "Dear Brother" letters to Brooklyn were classified and identified as written from partaker or Other Sheep, boys and girls even.
Even opinions given in the spirit of Jethro, Moses' father in law, (an outsider) were viewed with apprehension, rejected, not acknowledged if used.

even perfection is no excuse for really big blunders. Satan, Eve, Adam, The "perfect" nationals at the 4 corners of the earth after the millennium. All in wt's dreamed up world.
WT's perfect mistakes.

Since the remaining ones, aka remnant, are now all overlappers, they are useful for wt to keep the anointed generation going to 2075 and even beyond.
