Watchtower February 1881 p.188
If we were following a man undoubtedly it would be different
with us; undoubtedly one human idea would contradict another
and that which was light one or two or six years ago would be
regarded as darkness now: But with God there is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning, and so it is with truth;
any knowledge or light coming from God must be like its
author. A new view of truth never can contradict a former truth.
"New light" never extinguishes older "light," but adds to it. If
you were lighting up a building containing seven gas jets you
would not extinguish one every time you lighted another, but
would add one light to another and they would be in harmony
and thus give increase of light: So is it with the light of truth; the
true increase is by adding to, not by substituting one for another.
New Light contradict Old Light??????

I think the WTS needs to go into the Strobe Light business.

They always do, their new light totally replaces the old rather than add to it. That's because they are false teachers that go round in circles never getting anywhere, their divine inspiration is obviously a myth.

I wonder if this is due for a change soon?
Some of the "new light" is necessary for them to maintain control, like the generation change, as time started to run out on the original thought, but stuff like the superior authorities, they just couldn't make up their mind on that, it seems. I bet a lot of jws don't know about the flip flops on that one. If they did, they might investigate a few more beliefs.

***If you were lighting up a building containing seven gas jets...***
That was 125 years ago... I'm wondering if the WT is still lit by gas jets... or just old farts?
