Didn't you know? According to the Preservation book in 1932 the Holy Spirit (helper) was removed!:
"The holy spirit was given to the church at Pentecost to perform the office of comforter, advocate and helper of and for the
spirit-begotten ones during the absence of Christ Jesus....These texts [John 16:13-15] show that the holy spirit would and did perform the office of helper, advocate and comforter of those who resposded to call to the kingom, and until the
coming of Christ Jesus and the gathering unto himself of his own....
The Lord Jesus came to his temple in 1918, and that would mark the time of cessation of the work of the holy spirit as an advocate, helper and comforter of the members
of the church on earth. THERE THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS TAKEN AWAY, which was foreshadowed by the death of Elimelech. ...LIKEWISE WHEN THE LORD CAME TO HIS TEMPLE, IN 1918, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS REMOVED, THERE WAS SORROW UPON THE
CHURCH..."
Preservation,1932 pages 201,202,203
When did the Holy Spirit return? So this one true organization was teaching new truths without the holy spirit?
Oh... that's right, they were getting messages from "angels" according
to Preparation book 1933.
BTW: Shaun did an excellent post on this (Do Angels transmit information?), but it was deleted. Does anyone know why?
