Permanent Marker Series: E6, P. 186


"We might take as an illustrative example his error on Tentative Justification: Because the doctrine that the Youthful Worthies have been developing since 1878 are now developing is based on that doctrine, and has been urged (the Sword was thrust at his right eye on this subject) against his view of Tentative Justification, he denies that there can be Youthful Worthies before the New Covenant shall operate, if then. He didn't even know they were being developed in the Parousia. Because as against his error on Justification the Tabernacle Shadows has been cited as proving that the Court types the condition of both the tentatively and vitalizedly justified, and that the Gospel-Age Levites are the tentatively justified, he repudiates these features of the Tabernacle that oppose his error and introduces new errors to take the place of the opposing truths—"the Sword" opposing his right eye darkens it in this respect in a sense similar to God's hardening of Pharaoh's heart."

Again, red words in our edits do not exist in the original. Red words with strikethrough do exist in the original, but we feel should be removed to match current error. Now that there is a new Executive Trustee, the previous one now only claims his "Spiritual Leader" title, we're certain to see even more error. While we continue to address their confusion on the Youthful Worthies, they now deal with misunderstandings on tentative justification, the CECs, and the imputed merit. How sad.

Permanent Marker Series: E6, P. 178



"He likewise has failed to seek the young one, the Youthful Worthies. Denying that there can be such a class in 1881 long before the Epiphany and before the New Covenant is introduced, if then, he, of course, does not seek to win people for Youthful Worthiship. On the contrary, deluding individuals who might be of them into believing that they are in the Little Flock, he does them a most disastrous disservice, which later on will become apparent on all hands."

On this page in E6, Merariism, Bro. Johnson is showing how J.F.R. did not believe in the Youthful Worthies as an Epiphany class. J.F.R. probably would not have had that problem if the Youthful Worthies had already existed as a class way back in the Parousia (as is now taught by BS Ministries). It makes the whole thing seem quite silly. Even so, we try to help by changing text to make the Executive Trustee's error work.
