Newly Discovered Golden Nugget of Truth or Fool's Gold?

Why 127 years after the Youthful Worthies came into existence as individuals and 54 years after their call ended are we seeking to change a "Purified" Truth?

While it is easier to go with the flow and keep the peace ("Truth is first pure, then peaceable."), it is better to stand up for the Truth and do the right thing. But it will cost you.

It may cost you your position as a Pilgrim, an Evangelist or other service in which you may be involved. Is your position of service more important than being true to yourself and God? What do you do when a prominent pilgrim from the Midwest asks, "Whom do we Serve? You better say the _ _ _ _ ." Do you give into the peer pressure? Do you accept it because he said it? Do the scriptures say: "As for me and my house we serve a man?" Did you make your consecration to an organization, a man or Jehovah God?

For defending the Truth, you may be called a sifter and get dirty looks from Brethren you have known for years. Just remember, they are still your Brethren! Only God has the ability to read man's heart. Never apologize for asking questions or proving a truth. It's a privilege and also a responsibility that shouldn't be taken lightly.

1952 PT. Page 4--While the Parousia and Epiphany Messengers were not infallible, and therefore made some minor mistakes, the Lord during the Parousia and Epiphany has been and is sitting as a refiner and purifier of silver, "gradually purifying the Truth from error during the Parousia and Epiphany until no error remains therein—the mother gradually undergoing purification as the 40 Or 80 days progressed" (E Vol. 4, pp. 105, 106). He has been causing His light to shine more and more and will continue to do so unto the perfect day (Prov. 4: 18)...

What does this mean? Since 1954, the Truth, dates and information on the Youthful Worthies was purified (i.e., free from contamination or made pure). Made pure for the development of the Youthful Worthies.

Since 2004, the Executive Trustee has been making changes to this purified and pure Truth concerning the Youthful Worthies. We all might want to take notice.

PT. 1931 Page 9--Pride and ambition as a rule are the causes of people imbibing error and spreading it. They get a thoughtlet. Not realizing that Satan injected it into their minds, they turn it about and look at it from many sides, patting themselves on their backs as inventors of deep and wonderful thoughts. The more they think of it, the more the thoughtlet grows in their estimation. Soon they think: "This is too good to keep to ourselves, for that would make no one wonder at the depth of thought in us...

Many have been associated with the Parousia and Epiphany Truth for years. There is a Sr. in MI that has thousands of tapes and recordings of prominent Brothers who have spoken from the 1950s up to 2004. You won't find one who states that the Youthful Worthies had their beginning in 1878.

You will hear over and over again 1881 as individuals and 1914 as a class by Pilgrims, Auxiliary Pilgrims and Evangelists.

The Writings say that the Youthful Worthies were individuals in 1881 and a class in 1914 as the purified truth. It was Bro. Russell's thought. It was confirmed by Bro. Johnson and later by Bro. Jolly. It is a purified truth since 1954 and must be respected.

Will You Stand For The Truth and Be Counted?

Ecclesiaism - Do we really understand what this means?

The Local Class: Is it mistress in her own midst?

Some Pilgrims and Auxiliary Pilgrims especially in the Midwest have complained that a local Ecclesia rejected their service. Do these Pilgrims have a right to complain or are they in gross violation of the arrangements and should right their course?

When did the Door to the High Calling Close? 1878? 1881? 1914?

Do the terms "General Call Ceasing" and the "Door to the High Calling Closing" mean the same thing?

Note: for the Pilgrim and Evangelist who don't know the difference between closing and shutting of the door! If the material from the truth writings below doesn't help you understand, may we suggest August 1952 Herald "IS THE DOOR OF ENTRANCE INTO THE HIGH CALLING CLOSED?"

The end of the high calling is not the closing of the door. Par. vol. 3, p. 205. . . . An open "door" symbolizes an opportunity of entrance to certain conditions and privileges; a shut door represents the termination of such privilege or opportunity. The privilege, invitation or opportunity of the Gospel age, granting, under restrictive conditions, to believers in Christ, entrance into joint-heirship with him in the heavenly Kingdom and to the divine nature, is the "door" by which we "have access into this grace [favor] wherein we stand"; namely, into the hope of sharing the glory of God (Rom. 5: 2). Par vol. 3, p. 206. . . . Though the general "call" to this favor ceased in 1881, the "door" is yet open. Par. vol. 3, p. 212. . . . But though the general "call" has ceased, the "door" is not yet shut. The end of the "call" and the shutting of the "door" are distinct and separate. The "door" stands open for some to enter the race… after the general "call" has ceased.  Par vol. 3 p. 219.

               Since Sept. 16, 1914, when the door to the High Calling closed, the Christ (Head and Body) has started to proclaim a new message… since Sept. 20, 1914, a joint work was begun by the Christ beyond and this side of the vail, i.e., the World’s High Priest began the work toward Azazel’s Goat. This, combined with the work toward the Youthful Worthies, is the giving of the message of seasonal Truth in the Epiphany. P.T. 1950, p. 63.
