I remember Russell saying something about the shape of a man's head determines intelligence.

RULES & REGULATIONS
Samuel Herd, member of the Governing Body since 1999, justified female subjection on the basis that their smaller brain size makes them less intelligent.
“You know, scientists say that the cranial capacity of a woman is 10% smaller than that of a man so now this shows that she’s just not equipped for the role of headship. Her role is one of subjection to the man. Her role is that of submissiveness and that means that she should recognize that she is a woman and be glad to be a woman.” The Value of Our Theocratic Sisters Samuel Herd, Oakland CA 1971

1914 and the tree and 607 is not wacky because that did not originate with JWs, not even Russell. That was before Barbour.

Pyramid measurements (in inches, yet!) being relevant to Bible prophecy.
Also, when Russell changed his date from 1874 to 1914, the pyramid passageway somehow grew 40 inches.

Incredible what R & R has quoted ,I wonder what Samuel Herd would feel if the other governing body members wrote something like this.........
"You know, scientists say that the cranial capacity of a negro is 10% smaller than that of a normal man so now this shows that he's just not equipped for the role of being human. His role is one of subjection to the white man. His role is one of submissiveness and that means that he should recognize that he is a negro and glad to be a slave. "

"1914 and the tree and 607 is not wacky because that did not originate with JWs, not even Russell. That was before Barbour."
The point is not who originated 1914. The point is that the WTS has taught and still teaches this wackiness.
But out of curiosity, could you document who before Russell taught 1914.

As an aside, I’d say they can’t get out of it, it’s locked in.
The alternative would be to acknowledge that “wicked” Christendom has it right.
