In Reply to: Why does a THEOCRACY nd REFORM posted by 1 on April 06, 1999 at 08:49:03:
Assuming that God is at the top, why might a theocracy need reform?
To our understanding this would not imply that "that servant" or steward, used as a channel for the circulation of the "meat in due season," would be the originator of the meat, nor inspired, nor infallible. Quite to the contrary, we may be sure that whoever the Lord will so use, as a truth-distributing agent, will be very humble and unassuming, as well as very zealous for the Master�s glory; so that he would not think of claiming authorship or ownership of the truth, but would merely dispense it zealously, as his Master�s gift, t the Master�s "servants" and "Household"" � Studies IN THE Scriptures series IV, 1905.
To my knowledge that explicit statement is still considered valid by the WTS.
