onacruse	Re: Let's Take A Look At Judge Rutherford In The Pages of Zion's Watch Tower
	Kenneson, great research! I admire how you outlined things chronologically. Straight-run time-line perspectives can sometimes miss the subtle sense of connectivity between first cause and eventual effect, but structuring it that way helps us all to be able to 'connect the dots.' My own researches this last year have focused on what Rutherford wrote and said as president of the WTS, and I haven't paid much attention to "where" he came from. The one thing that sticks in my mind, and to which you allude, is that it seems like Rutherford was a side-liner for over a decade before he seemed suddenly to jump to the fore. Shades of the apostle Paul's 14 years' disappearance after his conversion, and only then suddenly to 'come out of the woodwork' and start kicking ass (my, oh my...why do I suspect that Rutherford may actually have seen himself as the antitypical modern-day Paul class? ) I know that AlanF, Farkel, and RR ( and others) have a lot more info ready to hand about Rutherford than do I...let's see if they wanna jump on this bandwagon. Thanks again for your research; very elucidating. Craig
