    I have been collecting info. I was stunned at just how many publications Rutherford has his name on. This list doesn't include any participation he may have had in the monthy magazines. Just a look at some of the titles is quite an eye-opener.

    The first on the list was published while Russell was president. All the others are during Rutherford's reign over his publishing empire.

    And there isn't even one of these publcations that the WTS would accept today as present light.

    Lady Lee:

    That is quite a list you have put together! Thanks for all your research and hard work!

    Cheers! Atlantis & Nevada-

    I have found several different lists on the net of WT publications. This list, with over 850 publications, was, I thought, complete.

    But comparing the different lists I have, even this one has missed some important works - well history-wise at least.

    When others are supporting you and you don't have to work as the Bible says we should, I guess we all could write some books over the decades.

    Lee, can any of these publications be read on the 'net?

    Lady Lee

    a quick search on Google will get you almost all of Russell's work

    You could try Googling some titles of Rutherford's in the list above.

    Atlantis, reexaminer and a few other odd places have other WT publications. Some of those files are pdf and others at html files (often a book will be separated into chapters with links at the bottom of the page for the next chapter)

    It takes a bit of work to find them.

    Some of those Rutherford diatribes posted above sound like they would really expose Rutherford as an over-the-top manic with visions of grandeur

    (Ecclesiastes 12:12) 12 As regards anything besides these, my son, take a warning: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion [to them] is wearisome to the flesh.

    Ecclesiastes 12:12 (The Message)

    But regarding anything beyond this, dear friend, go easy. There's no end to the publishing of books, and constant study wears you out so you're no good for anything else.

    Ecclesiastes 12:12 (Amplified Bible)

    But about going further [than the words given by one Shepherd], my son, be warned. Of making many books there is no end [so do not believe everything you read], and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

    Yup Blondie

    one of those scriptures that the WTS wants to say everyone else is doing.

    I'm quite flabberghasted at how often some books are revised, edited and published again with the same title or even a slightly different title

    • Making your family life 1978 book
    • Happiness: How to find it 1980 book
    • The secret of family happiness 1996 book

    -------

    • The truth shall make you free 1943 book (I had no idea about this book)
    • The truth shall make you free1953 (not sure if this is a book or something else)
    • Truth that leads to eternal life 1968 (book)
    • The truth that leads to eternal life 1981 book)
    • Knowledge that leads to everlasting life 1996 book

    There are a lot of very similar books. I have to wonder how often the writers just go back to old publications and redo them with new light.

    If I had tried that in any of my courses in college or university I would have failed the courses. And believe me in a couple of classes the papoers were just as long as any Truth book. And it is the exception to the rule that an author quotes him or herself.

    Just plain shoddy authorship
