Funny Watchtower Teaching

Matthew 24:45-51 (New World Translation): "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. Truly I say to YOU, He will appoint him over all his belongings.

The Watchtower has taken this scripture (which is really a parable) and used it to say that their Governing Body, which now consists of eight old white men and one token black man, is the Faithful and Discreet Slave mentioned in this scripture. Not only that but, in some convoluted way, they have added to the scriptures by saying that the singular slave mentioned in the scripture is really a "class" thus allowing for more than one person in their interpretation of the scripture. So whatever nonsense the Watchtower teaches and whatever ridiculous rules they impose on the witnesses, they can point to this scripture as proof that they God gave them the responsibility of governing His people.

They even use a series of non-related scriptures to "prove" that they are indeed the Faithful and Discreet Slave "class".

It is incredible to believe that thousands and thousands of people believe this baloney, but they do. They lap up this drivel like a kitten does milk.

This is proof that you can twist and turn the scriptures to say anything that you want them to say. Jehovah's Witnesses are masters at this.
