My Little Corner of the Universe

The answers are obviously found in the christian publications, but Questions 1 & 3 are clearly explained in the Organized (od) book, under the 3rd chapter (Confide in the "Faithful and Discreet Slave").

Again, the scripture reads: "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."

This one very enthusiastic sister answered these in the following way:

Woohoo! Bible trivia is back :)

1.The "faithful and discreet slave" is all anointed Christians as a group on earth at any given time whose task is to provide timely spiritual food.

2.The "domestics" are also the anointed ones, but considered as individuals. (The anointed are viewed as the “slave” when they are dispensing spiritual food and as the "domestics" when they partake of the spiritual food.)

3."His belongings" are all Jesus' spiritual interests on the earth.

And just adding to, or complementing the last comment, Jesus' spiritual interests include (1) the instalations of the world headquarters, (2) it's branches, (3) Kingdom Halls, and (4) Assembly Halls. And it also includes (5) our commission to preach the "good news of the kingdom and teach those who will listen (Matthew 24.14; od-E p. 16, par. 2).
