Truths Revealed in Due Times

(24) God "hath in due times manifested his word" (Titus 1: 3), prior to which times it was impossible to unlock its secrets. For examples:...

...(e) During the 40-year Parousia, the time of the Little Flock's reaping, Bro. Russell thought that the Time of Trouble would end shortly after 1914; and it is not yet due for us to know exactly when it will end. Also, in F 128, 129, Bro. Russell gave an immature thought when he wrote that Gershon types "the saved world of mankind" (see F, Appendix, Note 1, for further light on this as it became due). Bro. Russell brought forth light on the non-Spirit-begotten consecrated—the Youthful Worthies—as it became due to be given in the Parousia period after the general call to the High Calling ended in 1881; but many Scriptures regarding the Youthful Worthies were not opened up through God's special servants for them until they came forth as a separate class in the Epiphany, with special need for this Truth as due.

Page 356 has to be changed too in order to fit the current view. The Youthful Worthy class is no longer being developed "now" in the Epiphany, but should be moved back to 1881. What error the Executive Trustee has introduced.

The Lopsided Presentation of Truth

PT 1966 Pg. 45-47
Question (1966)—What is meant by “a lopsided presentation of Truth”?




Answer.—It is a presentation of Truth that is not
well balanced; it leans more to one side than to the
other, often emphasizing one side of the truth on a
subject, even to the exclusion of, the ignoring of, or
the denial of any other side of the same truth, thus
giving an unbalanced, biased viewpoint, which usually
leads into serious error. It is another very subtle way
in which Satan works to deceive the Lord’s people.

To illustrate: Bro. Johnson (as set forth in the
answer to the previous question) showed clearly that
the Epiphany, or Apocalypse, period is (1) in its
narrow, or restricted, sense the period from 1914 to
1954...

Page 353 falls into the same category as the previously edited pages, but with one additional issue. By modifying Bro. Johnson's comments to Pastor Russell's text, it no longer makes much sense and it almost forces us to edit his work as well. By now, you can see how much this "present view" idea changes the Truth.
