now, there are so many from which to choose...where is one to start?.
well, since i'm an old-timer, i must by default cast my vote for clayton j. woodworth, that inspired author and editor of the golden age who single-handedly warned the world about the dangers of aluminum cookware and vaccinations, among so many other things.. only once in a generation comes along a man with such inspired insights as to baffle the minds of mere ordinary humans..
Nark, thanks for that info about Furuli.
It would appear that Furuli is the only "JW scholar" who has ever published anything secular (even if self-published)...although one could perhaps consider Faith On the March a possible exception (not a scholarly work, but nonetheless, outside the auspices of the WTS).

Leo, thanks! What a read.
So far, the voting seems to be neck-to-neck between Woodworth and Fred Franz.
Now Fred came to Bethel in the early 20s, and of course Woodworth was one of those sent to prison with Rutherford.
One might just wonder (in terms along the lines of that GA article about the rain in Spain LOL): Was there a connection between these two celebrated JW scholars?

Nark, I've not followed any of Furuli's stuff...just from what I've observed in postings, and a few things that AlanF has told me. Has Furuli ever been published in a secular journal?
Leo:
who believed that the Spanish government forbidding Rutherford to deliver a talk in their country led God to withhold rain from Spain that summer, fulfilling a Bible prophecy in Zechariah 14:17.
What? I've never heard of that! Do you have a reference?

Names, names!!! Names and credentials and such-like...or else your vote won't count either!

Leo, I'm beginning to think that you're in cahoots with ozzie here! LOL
Good link. I was pretty much out of the loop by the time that replacement for the Your Will Be Done latest revelation from God about Daniel book came out, so I didn't have a clue. My Mom gave me a copy a while back, and it sits on my bookshelf, collecting dustmites.
BUT, you didn't cast a vote for your most "celebrated JW scholar," and if you don't cast a vote, then I will have to consider any further posts from you on this thread to be off-topic.

That one would make OBVES proud.
However, since OBVES was df'd about 2 years ago, that would automatically disqualify him from being a "JW scholar," much less a "celebrated JW scholar."
I'm sorry, but if you were casting a vote for OBVES, it must needs be discarded.
Care to pick another?

I nominate whoever came up with the kooky interpretations of Revelation
To which version do you refer? Russel's? Rutherford's? Fred's?
One must be specific, ya know!
However, these men were indeed all celebrated JW scholars.

AuldSoul:
Not unless he did it posthumously, onacruse.
Oops! I thought that was from the "old" Daniel book! See what happens when one doesn't "pay attention and keep on the watch"? But then, who knows if Freddie wasn't channeling from heaven, with these new revelations?

ozzie, that's one that I never heard of!
*** dp chap. 15 pp. 262-264 par. 13 The Rival Kings Enter the 20th Century ***
In Daniel’s time Kittim was Cyprus. Early in the first world war, Cyprus was annexed by Britain. Moreover, according to The Zondervan Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible, the name Kittim "is extended to include the W[est] in general, but esp[ecially] the seafaring W[est]." The New International Version renders the expression "ships of Kittim" as "ships of the western coastlands." During the first world war, the ships of Kittim proved to be mainly the ships of Britain, lying off the western coast of Europe.
See what happens? These celebrated JW scholars keep coming up with so many revelations that we can't even keep up!
Now, let me take a wild guess here: the author of that passage wouldn't happen to have the initials "F. F."?
