We all know the WTS abandons and invents beliefs faster than Apple can churn out new shiny stuff. But have they ever abandoned a belief and later picked it up again?
I remember many years ago we had one of those post-district-assembly review parts (part of the service meeting) where they were discussing some "new light".
There was some confusion about which was the "new" and which was the "old" and a semi-discussion ensued with people commenting. I remember someone saying "no, we used to believe that ... then it changed to [whatever] ... but now we believe it again" and I thought at the time it seemed strange.
This would have been in the 80's I think but I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
Anyone have any idea or examples where the WTS has reverted back to a previously abandoned teaching?
