About John Bergman Expertise I can answer questions involving the beliefs of Jehovah`s Witnesses and how it conforms and compliments to the holy word, The Bible. My life has been changed for the better after studying with the Witnesses and for anyone who wants to know the certain beliefs of the Witnesses, I can answer their questions.
Experience I have studied and went to religious services for seven years and have been baptized since 1997.
You stated that the Governing Body was selected as the Faithful and Discreet Slave starting with C.Russell.
Could you please tell me what scripture(s) are used to substantiate this? Thanks
Answer Dear Paul:
That would be Luke 12: 41-47, where it tells of Jesus asking of who will be the faithful and discrete slave who will give the proper food at the time (spiritual food). The Faithful and discrete slave are also part of the anointed which are described as being of 144,000 total in Revelation. The anointed includes the apostles of Jesus and the people who were giving holy spirit during the time of Pentecost.
I hope this answers your question. If you want any more information, please feel free to ask me or you can go to the official Jehovah's WItnesses' website: www.watchtower.org
