Watchtower 12/1/1916, page 357 'Russell never claimed to be the "Faithful and Discreet Slave." 'God's Kingdom of a thousand years has approached, 1973, p.345-47 '"The Slave who lived to see the sign" '"From this it is clearly seen that the editor and publisher of Zion's Watch Tower disavowed any claim to being individually, in his person, that "faithful and wise servant." He never did claim to be such." (God's Kingdom of a thousand years has approached, 1973, p.346). 'COMMENT: This contradicts Watchtower 12/1/1916, page 357 where the watchtower states Russell did in fact claim to be the Faithful and Discreet slave. "Thousands of the readers of Pastor Russell's writings believe that he filled the office of 'that faithful and wise servant,' and that his great work was giving to the household of faith meat in due season. His modesty and humility precluded him from openly claiming this title, but he admitted as much in private conversation," (Watchtower 12/1/1916, page. 357.) ______________________ (http://www.carm.org/jw/docs/1000years_p346.htm) |

Radioman, your message is loud and clear. It isn't at all surprising to anyone of average intelligence who reads the Watchtower publications with eyes that have not been utterly blinded by their lies to see the vast numbers of examples wherein this organization has reversed its position, not only with reference to the contradictory reports about Russell's claims to having been the faithful and discreet slave. Throughout their sordid history, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society has reversed itself on any number of issues. They have been forced to invent excuses and lies time after time in an effort to explain to their faithful followers the failed prophecies that have been advanced by the Watchtower over the years. Perhaps the king of all deceptions that have issued from this ignoble cult was the publication of the New World Translation than which no more deliberate attempt to distort Scripture has been made in the history of translation of biblical texts. --Hank | ||||||
