Thanks for the letters... I too got tired of "waiting on Jehovah"... so presumptuous of me...

besty,
Was that Cyril Chain or Cyril Chan?
In answer to the question whether Carl's original letter was in the Gentile Times Reconsidered, the answer is yes. I also recall that he included the responses from the society, too. It's been a number of years since I last read the book, but I'm pretty certain its all there. What was most amazing to me about the whole correspondence thing was how long the GB sat on the information, and how they quietly began their witch hunt against Carl.
They used the same tactics with Ray Franz.

Thanks, Besty.
I don't have my copy of CofC at hand but could someone confirm Franz' quoting of Knorrs statement to the GB, (paraphrasing) "I don't know about this 1914 date but I hope it is correct, we have a lot riding on it". I believe this was about the time the above correspondence was going on with COJ. They must have been on high alert about this upstart in Sweden who was mucking about with their bedrock doctrine. I like the sly way the early reply was trying to get the names of all involved under the pretense that they might want to correspond with them! Right.

Ray Franz heard Knorr say that in a GB meeting when a member (Karl Klein?) introduced the idea that 1957 or 1958 might be the start of the last days because the Russians launched Sputnik that year! Ray reported this story in COC.

the handwritten note on the right shows that the letters EJ in the Bethel reference EJ:ESC were understood to stand for C Chain
on freeminds here:
one Cyril Chain is listed as a Writing Dept staffer
any takers on more info on said Chainster?

Thanks besty, this is an incredibly detailed analysis of the facts from a number of angles, and shows the WTS to be deniers of truth, even when shown politely where the date is 607 is plainly wrong.
