    Watchtower February 1881 p.188

    If we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different

    with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another

    and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be

    regarded as darkness now: But with God there is no

    variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth;

    any knowledge or light coming from God must be like its

    author. A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.

    "New light" never extinguishes older "light," but adds to it. If

    you were lighting up a building containing seven gas jets you

    would not extinguish one every time you lighted another, but

    would add one light to another and they would be in harmony

    and thus give increase of light: So is it with the light of truth; the

    true increase is by adding to, not by substituting one for another.

    Would you agree with this Watchtower...

    It's a very simple question really do you agree with this Watchtower written by Russell.

    I'm just introducing myself. Somebody said I should because you welcome people. So far nobody has. But I'll get over it. LOL

    Welcome Freyd.

    I don't agree w/you about Russell, but you have that right to choose.

    I was born in Iowa. Where are you living if I may ask?

    That's the problem Freyd, those who claim absolute truth they leave a very long paper trail. Have you looked this up on your Berean Bible Studies CD. Man following Man that is what religion is all about. God once spoke directly to his chosen people why doesn't he today. Because there are no chosen people just people trying to determine the will of God.

    And yet Russelites exist 90 years after his death.

    Many are called. Few are chosen.
