Unfortunately the "Proclaimers" book is written in such a way that makes it difficult for anyone to notice the few things in it that really matter.

You are not the only one who didn't notice this when going through the book. Nobody else did either! I think Fred Hall (on this board) has already acknowledged that he wasn't aware that neither Russell or Rutherfore ever knew that Jesus had returned in 1914.

It's very possible that even the men of the Governing Body don't realize the significance of what they have printed on pages 47 and 133. Perhaps if someone points it out to them they will 'revise' the next edition so that it is even more difficult to notice!

I would venture a guess that out of 6,000,000 Witnesses around the world, there is not a single one who has noticed what this book is admitting about Russell and Rutherford? Why don't they notice it? Because the Governing Body doesn't draw it to their attention. Why not? Again, I think it is possible that even they haven't noticed it... they haven't thought about it. And I suspect that if they did they would do whatever they can think of to keep the Witnesses from noticing such an important matter.

From my experience, if the Governing Body doesn't think about something, most Witnesses don't think about it. One reason (which many on this board have experienced) is because as soon as one starts to think about something that the Governing Body isn't thinking about - they are opening themselves up to the charge of "apostasy."
