1 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | Radioman2 | 82631 | ||
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) |

2 | Verification on Charles Taze Russell | Col 2:9 | RR144 | 82639 | ||
Let's stick with Russell, the Watchtower of today have made many claims of Russell that were simply not true, they have simply rewritten their history to make it seem that Russell was a Jehovah's Witness in harmony with their theology of today, this is simply not true, the two are separate and distinct. Because many in his day believed he was "That Servant" does not in itself mean he taught he was "that servant." I'll save you the time, Russell in all his years, NEVER, I repeat, NEVER taught that he was "that Servant" of Matthew 24:45-48. You will never find such a statement from him, believe me. |

"Let's stick with Russell, the Watchtower of today have made many claims of Russell that were simply not true, they have simply rewritten their history to make it seem that Russell was a Jehovah's Witness in harmony with their theology of today, this is simply not true, the two are separate and distinct." Well, we aren't talking about the Watchtower of today, but rather the Watchtower of 1916. The Watchtower today agrees with you that Russell is not that servant. 'I'll save you the time, Russell in all his years, NEVER, I repeat, NEVER taught that he was "that Servant" of Matthew 24:45-48.' Whom did he teach was/is that servant, then? By the way, there is at least one group identifying themselves as "Bible students" who attest that Russell was indeed that servant: http://www.biblestudents.org/presence/signs_servant.htm --Joe! |
