Demolition Of The LHMM - The Executive Trustee Confused

In this letter to a Truth brother, the Executive Trustee brings up the topic of conflicting messages in our writings regarding the Youthful Worthies. He mentions a few references that he feels support his view. But, as we have pointed out in the past, they do not. For if they did, he would make Brother Johnson a confused author, contradicting himself within the same books. That makes no sense at all.

We have to remember that the leaders of the current BS Ministries use the "thoughtlet" method of finding new truths where none exist. They reach into a book and find a few sentences to generate a new idea, but ignore the rest which put it in context. Most of the time, it is their lack in understanding grammar and usage. Let's review!

He starts out, of course, with the very reference that generated the thoughtlet: the Ruth picture in E4, pp. 374-376. All three sentences he's thinking of are clear when you realize that the picture shows her starting the journey in 1878. Her being fully consecrated is not until 1881. Ruth's condition was not perfected until then. Grammar and usage. Previous to 1881, all the consecrated were Spirit-begotten. See E4. p. 469 (or even p. 462) for the clearest reference WITHIN THE SAME BOOK.

He then points out another thoughtlet reference, E5, pp. 62-64, where "the last of all the classes, the Youthful Worthies, entered the antitypical Ark in 1881." He gets tripped up by the word "class" in this reference. We have to remember that the Great Company, as a class, is also in the Ark. Even though the Epiphany is when it became a separate and distinct class, it is in the Ark because there were GC individuals during the Gospel Age. So, logically, the Youthful Worthies can be in the Ark as of 1881 because it is when individuals started to exist. They too became a class in the Epiphany. Again, the Executive Trustee ignores clear references WITHIN THE SAME BOOK. See the foreword, p. 39, p. 226, and p. 419.

Finally, he goes back to E4, p. 318, and points out "individuals of a class" as a reference supporting his view. As we have stated before, that term was used by the scientific community to indicate an observed grouping of something that was not expected. For example, a math equation expressed on a scatter diagram may show a grouping of points that were not expected. That is why it is phrased as individuals of A class and not THE class. The Executive Trustee misses the meaning completely. Besides, all we have to do is go to the VERY NEXT SENTENCE WITHIN THE SAME BOOK. When it says, "...since the General Call ceased in 1881, more people consecrated to the Lord than could be provided with crowns," it means that up until that time all those who consecrated could be provided with crowns.

What a silly letter from the Executive Trustee.
