"... in the Epiphany, or Apocalypse period. Then for the first time the Christ in all of its members came into a condition where the Oath-bound Covenant was confirmed to all of them, and the Great Company as the subordinate part of the heavenly seed and the Youthful Worthies as a part of the earthly seed began to be developed as classes, separate and distinct from the Little Flock and from each other."--PT July-August 1961, Page 54.
If the Great Company was not a class before the Epiphany (a truth not yet changed by the current Executive Trustee), how could the Youthful Worthies be a class before then? The above reference aligns their development as classes during the same time period.

Use of the word class:
Looking in Webster's dictionary and there is truly a variety of meanings to this word in some cases it had to do with grouping together of people or things or to sort or to a kind.
It also can be used to show a group of people considered as a unit, a social rank, working class etc., etc., etc.,
I think that we get the point.
But how is it being used by the LHMM-ers today they have taken the position that if Bro. Johnson referred to them as a class in 1881 that he is referring to them as the beginning of the Youthful Worthy Class, not individuals?
They therefore are the Epiphany class that he has showed in the PT's from 1919 onward. You might say that's the way it is! But, not really because it doesn't fit. As this posting states Bro. Johnson recognized them as a called class from 1914 onward just as we read in the posting.
Bro. Johnson wrote in note IV on page 133 of Tabernacle Shadows the following "It will also be remembered that it is he that brought to our attention the fact that there has been since 1881a class of non-spirit begotten consecrated ones, whom we call Youthful Worthies.
With this weak usage of the word class they have done just as one would do on a computer "cut and delete" and claim that all in disagreement are "sifters" and "former brethren."
Here are a couple questions we might want to ask:
Are the Youthful Worthies shown in the Tabernacle Picture for Gospel Age purposes? NO.
After Pentecost when the first Crown was lost was that individual a Great Company member?
Were the Ancient Worthies a class during their lifetime? Or will they become a class when they partake in the Better Resurrection?
Were the Youthful Worthies a 73 year developing class or a 40 year developing class?
There surely is not much class in the action taken against anyone in opposition to the new view.
