Many Brethren in America and other countries have the highest esteem for the British representative's ability as a speaker and his understanding of historical events surrounding the Truth movement. However, statements of the kind shown above raise questions as to the proper understanding of the arrangements.
The Epiphany brethren in America do not reject the arrangements pertinent to the office of the Executive Trustee. However, we do reject the error coming from this office. We reject and are opposed to the deviation from the precious Truth given by God's special servants.
Since the representative includes some quotes from the Truth writings, may we suggest a few additional references: "ITS TEACHINGS" in PT 1919, page 103; Bro. H.W. Roberts "The Movement" audio recording; E4 in its entirety including the questions pertinent to the Youthful Worthies and especially page 290, par. 46: "We have already shown that God's 'counsel' or plan consists of the various series of arrangements whereby He brings various classes to eternal life. He who revolutionizes against these arrangements, i.e., set them aside and puts others in their place, condemns, considers negligible, of no importance, the counsel of the Most High."
To be in harmony with the Executive Trustee as stated above means to be in harmony with Clericalism, Sectarianism and in support of error. The real truth on what has really happened in America, based on facts, would surprise many foreign brethren and the British representative.

This is an excellent comment. There has been so much misinformation re. what the American Brethren are doing and why. We did not create the issue or problem. The executive trustee putting forth error that contradicts what Bro. Russell, Bro. Johnson, and Bro. Jolly taught is what created the problem. We cannot support the error. If we are labeled and maligned because of standing up for the truth, so be it. Thankfully God is our judge and not misinformed brethren.
