As far as I'm concerned the last true Congregation of Jehovah which was made up of a spiritual body got started in 33CE when Jehovah's Holy Spirit was poured out on namely the 12 apostles with Paul being the 13th apostle and the physical temple was destroyed in 70 CE and now from that time on there have been generation after generation of men of lawlessness like the Watchtower track Society who claimed to be of Jehovah's true spiritual congregation who pillaged the unsuspecting sheep with smooth words twisting the scriptures to their advantage in order to control them so that they can accumulate humongous amount of wealth and power only to dominate his fellow man even to the point of death so long as they can make a d*mn profit on the backs of the unsuspected sheep, you know the impoverished minds and the empty stomachs.
Well the truth of the matter is there is no faithful slave because Jesus has not appointed one yet and that doesn't happen till Jesus comes in his parousia ,so that would mean all others who have claimed they are a faithful appointed slave are fraudulent Liars and that would include the Watchtower track Society.
So the question is "if Jesus didn't appoint a faithful discreet slave yet then why should we listen and adhere to the watchtowers demands especially in view of their criminal record along with their fraudulent 1914 scenario?.
Kevin, I understand your frustration with institutions that have failed spiritually, but we have to consider some very clear patterns that Jesus himself outlined regarding how Jehovah would deal with his people through the centuries. Jesus never said that the true worshippers would vanish after the apostles died. On the contrary, he explained that genuine disciples and false ones would continue side by side until the time of the end. That is the whole point of his illustration of the wheat and the weeds. He said the field (the world of professed Christianity) would contain both—real anointed sons (the wheat) and impostors (the weeds). And he specifically said the wheat would remain in the field until the harvest, not disappear for 1,900 years. So the presence of corruption, abuse, or a “man of lawlessness” is not evidence that Christ abandoned his congregation, but exactly what Jesus said would happen inside the community of those claiming to be his. (Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43)
The harvest is when everything gets separated. Not before. And Jesus said the harvest happens "in the conclusion of the system of things”, not in the first century. During the harvest, Jesus identifies the faithful ones, exposes the weeds, and gathers the wheat into his storehouse. That process requires people who are doing the actual preaching and teaching just as Jesus commanded.
This is why your point about the “faithful and discreet slave” misses a crucial detail about why that slave is appointed. Jesus said the master appoints that slave because he is already “doing so”—already feeding, already working, already fulfilling the assignment. There is no appointment at the parousia if no one has been doing the work beforehand. And the very criteria Jesus uses to separate sheep from goats in Matthew 25 is based on how they treat his brothers—the ones doing the preaching, caring for the flock, feeding spiritually, and leading the worldwide work. That implies those brothers exist before the final judgment.
Jesus never said that during the last days there would be no organized activity or no preaching work. On the contrary, he said: “This good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth.” (Matthew 24:14) and in spite of all their errors, failures, and even deceptions, it has been through the congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses that this prophecy has been fulfilled on a global scale. Millions have learned God’s name, the Kingdom message, and fundamental Bible truths because of that structure that has been distributing Bible truths in hundreds of languages, and training millions to preach the good news of the Kingdom. That worldwide witness is not something we can ignore. It shows that Jehovah has allowed the basic preaching machinery to operate until the time of the end.
Also, the point about a “false slave class” doesn’t align with Jesus’ own logic. If Christ hasn’t appointed the slave yet, then no one is a fraud—because the appointment hasn’t happened. But if Jesus is going to base salvation on how people treated “these my brothers,” then those brothers must exist and be recognizable for people to support. Otherwise, Christ’s entire illustration loses meaning.
And historically, there have always been individuals and groups of Christians who continued preaching, gathering, studying, and holding to the Scriptures through the centuries. They weren’t perfect—neither were the apostles themselves. Peter denied Jesus, the Corinthian congregation was full of problems, and Jesus’ letters in Revelation judge congregations sharply while still calling them his congregations. The idea that one must leave the congregation completely in order to prove faithfulness doesn’t match the pattern of Scripture. Even in Revelation, Jesus praises those who remained faithful within the congregations he was disciplining.
Jesus told his disciples that “the one who endures to the end will be saved”. (Matthew 24:13). In context, he was warning about betrayal from within—brothers handing over brothers, love cooling off inside the community. Endurance means remaining loyal to him despite the failures of people, not abandoning the congregation entirely. And the Scriptures show that loyal ones would always exist inside the framework of God’s people until the harvest.
So the real question isn’t whether imperfect men ever made mistakes—Scripture says they always will. The question is: Where is the wheat? Who is doing the work Jesus commanded? Who is feeding his sheep? Who is preaching the good news? Who is enduring despite criticism, persecution, and internal failures? That is where Christ will look when he appoints the faithful slave at his arrival. And that is how he will separate the sheep from the goats.
In that context, many of us have benefited from the work of brothers outside the Watchtower structure who are clearly anointed and whose insight into prophecy has helped thousands. Brother King is one obvious example. Even though he was disfellowshipped—just as faithful men in the first century were cast out of the synagogue—he continues to do exactly what Jesus described: feeding his sheep, clarifying prophecy, strengthening faith, warning of deception, and turning people back to Christ.
That is the kind of work Jesus referred to when he said the Master would return and find certain ones “doing so.” It would be unwise to assume that only those inside a human religious structure could be used. Jehovah has always chosen unexpected instruments—Amos the herdsman, Jeremiah the youth, Daniel a captive in Babylon, John exiled on Patmos. Jesus himself was rejected by the religious leaders of his day, yet he was the one truly feeding Jehovah’s people.
So when we see an anointed brother like Robert King dedicating decades to exposing the man of lawlessness, clarifying the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, strengthening the scattered sheep, and preparing them for the future—we cannot rule out the possibility that he may be among those whom Christ appoints when he arrives. His work bears the fruit Jesus spoke about. And Jesus said, “By their fruits you will recognize them.”
If that is the case, then supporting his work is not only reasonable—it is part of the way we show loyalty to Christ. We can support by sharing his material, encouraging those who are awakening spiritually, directing honest-hearted ones to accurate explanations of prophecy, and contributing to the building up of the scattered flock. This doesn’t mean worshipping a man—far from it. It means recognizing that Christ uses certain brothers to feed his sheep ahead of his return, just as he promised.
And this also harmonizes with the wheat-and-weeds illustration. The wheat doesn’t disappear for centuries; it stays in the field until the harvest. Some wheat may be inside the organization, some outside its walls, but Christ knows his own. At the harvest he gathers all the genuine ones—regardless of where they have been standing—to appoint them over all his belongings.
That is why the question is not “inside or outside,” but who is doing the actual feeding, who is carrying out Christ’s work, who is giving the food at the proper time, who is strengthening the brothers, who is clarifying truth instead of hiding it. Those are the ones Jesus will look at when he arrives.
