You’ll have to show how

[QUOTE=Matthew 24:14]  
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.  
[/QUOTE]

points to a “genuine article” when

Mathew 24:4-5 - has the same warning as Luke 21:8

> [@](#):

IOW, making a statement that the gospel will be preached does nothing to imply that there will be a second “genuine article” or “special people” doing said thing.

I’ve already shown how the Watchtower Org, since its inception, has claimed this special relationship/status - what more do you need?

Do you really ignore the words of Jesus so readily?
