The Seven Thunders of Millennial Dawn!

Dr. Shadduck 1928 edition.  I retyped out a couple of pages that were weak, however, if you still need a page or section retyped, then just send me a pm.  Any copyrights on this booklet would have been discontinued many years ago.  In fact, much of the information contained in the booklet were actually articles taken from "The Sunday School Times", which were already made public.  See "Introduction" page.  Forgot I had a copy of it!

Cheers!   ---Atlantis from the old timers class!

Please allow me to make a correction on the "date" of publication above.  I believe this was actually the "second" edition from the "first" one that was published in 1928.  Also, it took my computer 2 or 3 minutes to download all the pages.  My apology for the delay!  Jolly good!

Cheers!    

Bless you my son, for this service rendered. May your seed increase till time indefinite, even for ever, and may your favourite ice-cream never run out of stock

"The Seven Thunders" has dutifully been stored on my 'puter

Thank you friend!  I appreciate the kind words.  

Cheers!   Think I'll have one too!    

 

What is particularly useful about this is that it demonstrates that contemporaneous readers found glaringly obvious the subterfuge, deceptions, and gross intellectual shabbiness of the early Watchtower writers. It is all too easy to excuse the Bible Student past as the quaintness and good-hearted desires of a simpler era, yet for those who cared to inform themselves, there has never been any excuse for following such an ignorant group.



This was also the era of Einstein and Freud, Joyce and Proust, Veblen and Ramanujan.

dilaceratus:  WELCOME!  

Yes I agree!  When an organization is so affraid of its own published materials, that they require a $500.00 dollar bond to be established if their publications are referred to, or if Pastor Russell is exposed for the changes made in earlier editions from later ones, then this shows that they admit they have something to hide and are ashamed of what they believe!

Cheers!    

Just finished reading the whole thing, it is totally awsome! Thanks so much.

I will provide links to "larger" scans of all the pages for those who want to put the booklet in a pdf file. The larger scans are much easier to read. I should have them available in about 3 or 4 hours. Cheers!

Thanks!  I just love this stuff.  I swear I study more than when I was Borg.

Here are the links to the "larger" scans for "The Seven Thunders of Millennial Dawn".

 

Enjoy!

The reproduction of the handwritten stipulation about the $500 bond to be forfeited for quoting Watch Tower publications looks suspiciously like J F Rutherford's own handwriting. Rutherford supposedly produced the original signature that was copied until very recently from letters signed [anonymously] "Watchtower Bible and Tract Society". Does anyone have a long enough sample of Rutherford's handwriting to check this against?

Yes Gamaliel that does look alot like Rutherford's handwriting. This points to The Finished Mystery published in 1917 as the "postumous" works of Russell, who died in 1916. Am I the only one who finds that whole thing very suspicious? Russell died and Rutherford assumed command against his wishes, and proceeds to make many changes that Russell never wanted, and of course you all know what happened next. That sounds like Rutherford had been planning his actions for a long time beforehand. As for Russell's death, it has always seemed a little ambiguous to me, like too much of a coincidence. But I'm probably wrong.

This is a keeper. Could someone kindly pop it into the 'best of' series.

Could you type out the entire document for me? 

I want to sell it on eBay - since it IS in the public domain, you know - and I find the present condition of the images to lack the appeal my prospective customers will require. Be quick about it too, I have a deabeat line!

Dear Atlantis....
