Greven: "When I came upon writings of that period I felt betrayed by the GB! They had to know this and still would call it a 'spiritual paradise', the period of the two 'prophet' witnesses, and all that song and dance about those assemblies of 1919, 1920, 1922 and even 1925!".
Theyve got a big problem with all the material up till about 1930, they wouldnt want anybody reading any of their publications prior to that. I guess they havent totally covered the period in their new interpretation, but how could they? it must have been like taking a corpse that had been hacked into 10 pieces , tie it together with cellotape and bandaids, and revive it. What happened after Russellisms timeline died is the biggest disaster in religious interpretation Ive ever seen.

precisely. Something that many rabid Christian fundies do, and something I find most irritating.
