When "Old Light" becomes "New Light" sometime down the line the "New Light" will eventually become old. I do realize the Superiors use passages (AKA word magic) to explain such a big change. What would be the difference between Holy Spirit revelation vs. man's opinion in this particular situation? Since Holy Spirit never makes a mistake, are the Superiors actually using independent thinking and/or possessed by other spirits when switching from "old light" to "new"?
Is "Old Light" really called independent thinking?

Pro-tip:
The phrase 'old light' may be a giveaway to apostate thinking/reasoning. I don't think that an 'in' JW would use that turn of phrase.
'The light gets brighter and brighter' is more how they'd put it. 'Old Light' is too cynical, I'm sure.
Just sayin' ... if you want to keep your cards close to your chest.
