Rutherford's time for Jesus' resurrection--3 AD?

glenster

bereanbiblestudent posted several Rutherford mp3s including the Rutherford
record "Fascism or Freedom" made in Australia, Oct.2, 1938. The first thing
Rutherford says on it is that Jesus was resurrected exactly 1935 years ago,
which in 1938 would have been 3 AD. That's usually put around 30 AD. What's up
with that?

Give the poor guy a break, willya? He was probably drunk at the time or banging one of his groupies. Or both.

That was a link to strictly Genteel but I downloaded it only now since I already got it. It seems it is just one of the records (from no 179 to 190) the entire talk is almost 54 minutes. I will see if I can get the total talk online.

Maybe someone can check the booklet and see what that says.

Many of my publications are in storage somewhere else so I cannot check that.

Thanks. (I thank you in the Index of my online GTJ Brooklyn article, too. The
audio makes an important contribution to the evidence about the JWs leaders
and makes a good contribution to an understanding of the image they intended.)

P.S.: I also wonder about one by Franz I found on You Tube (1969 on the
timeline on p.1a continued). At the start he seems to predict Armageddon for
sundown of Sept.5, 1975, then it sounds like a 2nd recording follows in which he
fudges and just gives that date as the start of God's 7th 1,000 year long
creative "day." Is it a 2nd recording or....?

Judge Rutherford knew this because he was the World's Foremost Bible Scholar!

^ Thanks! That one has a lot more evidence of Rutherford's Catholic (and
whatever that was non-Rutherford) bashing, but I think it's from a different
recording session and doesn't explain how Rutherford cooked up 3 AD.

P.S.: I think the recording of Franz, unless the 1st part is from an earlier
recording of Franz predicting Armageddon, is an early or mid 1975 recording of
Franz giving sundown of Sept.5, 1975 as the start of God's 7th 1,000 year
creative "day" but fudging about the time of Armageddon.

Yes, I am not to sure what is going on there either. The link I posted to the ''Fascism or Freedom'' records, is the same as the booklet. Well the same as the first 35 pages of it anyway. After that it is on Theocracy.
