“Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics?”—MATTHEW 24:45.
Jesus himself pointed to the answer to that question. In the course of his great prophecy, he asked: “Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time?” Then he said: “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.” (Matthew 24:45-47) Yes, there would be a “slave” who had been assigned to provide spiritual food, a “slave” who would be both faithful and discreet. Was that slave a particular individual, a succession of individuals, or something else? Since the faithful slave supplies desperately needed spiritual food, it is in our interests to find the answer.
What other organization is there that abides by all of the laws and principles found in the Bible? What other organization follows Jesus words at Matthew 24:14? What other organization has the most accurate Bible?

Here is some interesting truth....
http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/Cults/jw.htm
And what is even more interesting is visiting thier website it has an ugly statue of a 3 headed god.....And that is what they're teaching people about christians.....Good Lord , no wonder they view us the way they do ...
This is an awful thing.....and it is a shame people listen to other people and not God ... There is in this world only one "truth" and that is "God's word" ....There are so many things wrong with thier bible thier truth....And God has taught us plainly what to beware of ....
Good question!

Yes.
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jehovah is guiding His universal organization, including the earthly part of that organization which includes the Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Of course, the bible plainly teaches that Almighty God does not micromanage every detail of every facet of His organization, but only intervenes when matters go beyond where He is willing to allow them to go. Similarly, Jesus also has delegated the care of his earthly "domestics" or "sheep".
...(Matt 24:45-47) The faithful and discreet slave whom his master [Jesus] appointed over his domestics, to give them their food at the proper time? ...Truly I say to you, [Jesus] will appoint him over all his belongings [on earth].
...(John 21:15-17) Jesus said to Simon Peter: “Simon son of John, do you love me...?” He said to him: “Yes, Lord, you know I have affection for you.” He said to him: “Feed my lambs. ...Shepherd my little sheep. ...Feed my little sheep."
Historically and biblically, it seems rather obvious that ancient Israel was guided by Jehovah, but they even strayed into pagan false worship and sacrificed their own children to false gods. It would be blasphemous to suggest that God's guidance led Israel to such terrible mistakes.
...(2 Kings 16:2-3) Ahaz when he began to reign...reigned in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the eyes of Jehovah his God like David his forefather. And he went walking in the way of the [bad] kings of Israel, and even his own son he made pass through the fire
Interestingly, even Christians who enjoyed direct communication from heaven at times came to wrong conclusions; these wrong conclusions were even communicated "out among the brothers"!
For example, the apostle Peter enjoyed remarkable privileges in the early congregation, but it seems that he was the source of an incorrect teaching about the apostle John that was not formally corrected until several DECADES had passed, and John himself finally wrote his gospel about 98 C.E.
...(John 21:21-23) Peter said to Jesus: “Lord, what will this man do [that is, the apostle John]?” Jesus said to him: “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you? You continue following me.” In consequence, this saying went out among the brothers, that [the apostle John] would not die. However, Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but: “If it is my will for him to remain until I come, of what concern is that to you?”
Yet, God and Christ plainly blessed the work of Peter and the first century Christian congregation. Similarly, what group is working harder than Jehovah's Witnesses to preach God's message globally?
...(Matthew 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.

Yes.
Recruits? We recruit nobody. We merely present what the Bible says. It is left up to the people we study with to make up their minds what they wish to do with what they learn.
