Why would they mention the 'old light'?

i don't get why they opened the article 'when will these things be' by using old old light not believed since the late 60's?

.

seems a bit idiotic to draw attention to past mistakes that are long forgotten in the minds of the r&f, as opposed to stuff that is fairly recent that has warranted 're-examination'.

With the July 15 WT approaching, would this be the ideal opportunity to start an ACTIVELY VOCAL fade?

by 'actively vocal', i do not mean openly criticising the articles and pointing out the inconsistencies or flipflops (not footwear, reversals).

i do mean letting people know that you're finding it hard to understand the new truth, and the fact that there is therefore old truth, or falsities, (is that a word?

it is now), therefore if there are falsehoods (that's the word, of course), then that puts into doubt the extent of jah's involvement in the preparation/dissemination of it all... (and making it clear you're not saying they aren't gods prophets on earth, just that you're not sure, don't know).. the reason i ask is cos i'm finding it hard to completely fade without an external reason.

howdy all!.

whilst perusing some mags from 1887 (as you do) i stumbled upon this article slagging off the 'protestant papacy' as they called it.. it may have been posted before, but it was new to me (as, increasingly is a lot of stuff) so i thought i'd share... i've emboldened some areas of interest, it shows (to me) a good attitude back then.. see anything familiar with our day in there?.
