Never heard of it. All I know is when Russell died in October 31st, 1916, Judge Rutherford, who became the next President, wrestled power from opposing board members, deleted all democratically-elected elders. Membership plunged until he compelled those who remained to recruit extensively from door-to-door. His death occurred January 8, 1942 in San Diego.

Guess where he died? That's right, Beth Sarem.

Rutherford used the 1925 false prophecy to the ressurrection of the "men of old", such as Abraham, David, etc. as an excuse to purchase the land and built the house and he even deeded the house to them. After Rutherford died, the WTS quietly sold the house because it was an embarrassing reminder of their false prophecy. The house still stands today.
