    He tacks against the wind from 'old light' to 'new light'

    I thought that he just leaves the burned out bulb as it is, and attends a meeting where he is told that the light actually keeps getting brighter and brighter.

    Hey Mommie D!

    Surley that should be; "He doesn't need to CHANGE the light, just to re-adjust his view of it in line with current criptual understanding"?

    No, I think you've got it wrong. The WTS will say "Some brothers failed to show Christian moderation in their use of the lightbulb."

    You see, it's your fault again!

    He doesnt run ahead of the chariot and make his own changes.
    He stays in the dark and waits on JHVH

    The average R&F JW doesn't now how to change a lightbulb. They prefer sitting in the dark until someone comes up with a "new lightbulb"

    Is it true that New Release = New Light?

    If not, where is the 'new light'?

    If it is, what was new about it?

    Just musing.....

    Hey thanks.
    I now have some ideas for JW's on the question below.

    QUESTION: How many church people does it take to change a lightbulb?

    Charismatics: Only one. Hands are already in the air.

    Roman Catholics: None. They use candles.

    Pentecostals: Ten. One to change the light bulb, and nine to pray
    against the spirit of darkness.

    Presbyterians: None. God has predestined when the lights will be
    on and off.

    Episcopalians: Eight. One to call the electrician, and seven to
    say how much better they liked the old bulb.

    Mormons: Five. One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell
    him how to do it.

    Unitarians: We chose not to make a statement either in favor of or
    against the light bulb. However, if you have found in your own
    journey that light bulbs work for you, that is fine. You are invited
    to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal
    relationship with your light bulb and present it next month at our
    annual light bulb Sunday service in which we will explore a number
    of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-
    way, long-life, and tinted, all of which are equally valid paths to
    luminescence.

    Baptists: At least fifteen. One to change the light bulb, and two
    or three committees to approve the change. Oh, and also a casserole.

    Lutherans: None. Lutherans don't believe in change.

    Methodists: A whole congregation. One to change the light bulb,
    and the rest of the congregation to be sure that he doesn't backslide.

    Quakers (Society of Friends): We don't really need to change the light bulb,
    the Light inside each of us is enough in this Quiet Place.
