Verne = Catholic, Roddenberry = Secular Humanist
They both seem to have been messengers of hopeful worlds - having 20,000 Leagues read to me as a young child infused my little head with visions of freedom for all...

Was someone from the original 1918 breakaway involved in making this publication? Just curious.
The book was authored by Charles Redeker, a Bible Student. If by "original" one who brokeaway in 1918, then no, but if you mean by one of the groups that was formed after the death of Russell, then yes. RR

RR said,
Natan, I can't argue with an athiest.
Can' t or won't, RR?
I'm sure there *might* be non-atheists in the audience who would agree witih me that CTR was selling second-hand Millennialist crap.
Would you excuse yourself from arguing with them?
Are the facts of recorded objective history different for either you or I?
We can argue about the weather or sports, but not the failures of your tin Pastor. I'm so amazed you can't see your own idolarty here. He's a man who took his pants off the same way you and I do, he's no saint or angel.

Had you asked me 10 years ago, I would have said yes. But I don't know anyone from the original split that is still living. Consider if they were 18 years old at the time of the split, they would be 108 today, anyone of significance would be much older. Of course there were various splits in the Watchtower, in the late 20s and early 30s. I do know some who were around then, still living. RR

Well Nat, that is your opinion. Next time you need something, don't forget to ask!

RR, if there is ever anything I can do for you, I will do it unhesitatingly.
I help others because I like to help them, not because I'm looking for a potential convert or yes man.
