Yawn. Back to the drawing board for the lame analogy department!
Bread= Truth
Bread goes stale = Truth goes stale
Ha ha ha ha ha
The only point in baking fresh bread is so that it may be eaten.
When it is consumed it becomes an energy source for the body.
Only UNEATEN bread goes stale.
Consequently, there is no corresponding analogy.
How so?
The Truth/Light/Bread from the WTS is consumed by the congregations, must be 100% accepted, believed and taught.
In the course of this WHILE STILL "TRUE" it suddenly becomes STALE because it has proved to be error and is withdrawn, tossed out and replaced.
Pastor Russell had a better way of explaining "New Light" which still holds the best example of a good analogy.
" 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."
