Hello Adam,

Yes, you are correct when you refer to the Golden Age, 1930 pg.503 and Rutherford's comment about Jesus' presence since 1914. But...

My point was that it is "according to *the Proclaimers book*" that neither Russell or Rutherford ever knew that Jesus had returned in 1914. And this is true.

Since Witnesses don't have the above 1930 magazine, they can only go by their 1993 book. And that book only gives the 1943 date. And after all, it is the most up-to-date information on this subject.

Another point: Even if we go by the 1930 Golden Age, it still means that Russell never realized that Jesus returned in 1914. I would think that very few (if any) Witnesses are aware of even that.

If we could ask 6,000,000 Witnesses - "Did Pastor Russell know that Jesus returned in 1914 to begin his invisible presence?" - would every one of them say, "Yes?"

Why? They must have misunderstood something. And since they all misunderstand it - who is responsible for their misunderstanding?

But this not knowing is only half of the problem.

Next Post: The other half...
