WTS misrepresented what CTR wrote
by Doug Mason init is bad to make a false and misleading prophecy.
it is worse to later infer that the prophecies were correct.

Russell's prophetic framework
by Doug Mason ini do not believe ctr expected the end of the gentile times would usher in an era of war and strife.
his prophetic framework (see below) focused on events leading up to october 1914 (although he was quite prepared to move the end to october 1915).
his framework started with the end of the millennium, christs presence, closing of the high calling, time of trouble, probable translation to heaven in 1910, with the end of the gentile times ushering in universal peace under the jews.

Jesus gave the Sign
by Doug Mason inwhen jesus answered his disciples question about the sign of the temples destruction, they coupled it with the end of the age (aeon) because the end of the temple would clearly indicate that the jewish age had come to its end.
likewise, the disciples believed that this momentous event the destruction of the temple would herald the appearance of messiah in power.
they did not recognize that, instead of coming as a mighty conquering warrior, the messiah had arrived as a babe.

"No Blood" and Wikipedia
by Doug Mason inthe "no blood" people sought comments on a piece it was preparing for wikipedia on the reasons jws do not accept blood.
i wrote to them saying that they should indicate in their article that the wts is not a "no blood" organization and that they should also indicate the impact of the threat of "shunning"has on a jw patient's decision.
i also provided them with a copy of my latest work on blood ("loyalty test", available at http://au.geocities.com/doug_mason1940/blood/html ).
