    I was always (even when in) shocked at the plagarism of Newton's work in the "Daniel" book. I recall a discussion after I left with SIL that the "Daniel" book was anything but an original, inspired work of the FDS and that they should have credited Newton with its contents. She went back to her elders with her doubts and said that the elders told her that Newton may well have been of the annointed and therfore part of the continuing FDS....wonder what the reply would be now given their was no FDS until a drunk and his proles assumed the role in 1919???

    Newton would be marginalized into the "he was just a brother" category along with Russell, then considered by JWs as unimportant because his name isn't Rutherfraud.
