We take you now to the DUH room for a New Light bulletin . . .

Terry

Imagine a large open field filled with old dudes wearing headphones attached to metal detectors searching for

anything of value in the middle of nowhere . . . Imagine these old dudes are THE GOVERNING BODY of Jehovah's Witnesses . . .

One them gets a "bloop" or "bleep" signal

and an alarm cry goes up!

"HERE IT IS! HERE IT IS! NEW LIGHT! NEW LIGHT!"

A phone call is placed to Bethel Headquarters the Duh! Department gets writers going crafting a TRUTH for immediate release!

Bulletin: 1878 is the rapture! Bulletin: 1925 is the resurrection!

Bulletin: 1914 is Armageddon! Bulletin: Romans 13 is the opposite to what it says

Bulletin: 1975 is the End of 6,000 years of human existence!

But wait!

Stop the presses!

The old dude in the bermuda shorts wearing black socks with dress shoes has bent over and dug up something and examined it . . .

Ulp! Turns out, what it really has been discovered is trash, junk---oops! We mean OLD LIGHT!

HEY--WHAT'S GOING ON?

"Jehovah is the Grand identifier of his true messengers. He identifies them by making the messages he delivers through them come true. Jehovah is also the Great Exposer of false messengers." Watchtower 1997 May 1 p.8

They said they don't want to be "part of this wicked system of things" and look for the remains of Malaysian Flight 370 in the ocean.

Instead, they are looking in a field.

I wonder what Russell would think if he came back today and saw that the organization he started has found so much "new light" that it now rejects 95% of what he taught.

That stuff didn't come from a field somewhere. They tapped into the bottom of my tool box. Too bad I can't get them to clean the whole garage for me.

He'd have to renounce his former understandings or be branded an Apostate to the very religion he founded.

Come to think of it, I wonder if anyone from the past will be resurecetd since apparently none of them was "worshiping in truth" and in fact were responsible for spreading what turns out were false teachings, to interested ones and for going so far as to punish and likely ruin the lives of anyone who disagreed with them.
