    When I have see this post http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/watchtower/scandals/183225/1/Beth-Sarim it have remind me some very old question!

    Charles Taze Russell

    -He was a big pro-zionism who greatly help this movement in the year before WW1.

    http://ctrussell.fr/israel.htm (some very old text from Russel in french) http://ctrussell.fr/

    -he have created the "Anglo-Israëlites" English-Israel theory of the "elect people"

    -Russel teach to the bible movement and russelite not to preach the good news to the jew,they have another "salvation plan" from god,(yes he was teaching that the sabbat was only for the jew and not for christian and meany others examples)

    -Some people have some doubt about where $ support came from?We know that he was really like by some jew and some say the Freemason or even banker Rothschilds himself.

    -All religious movement in this time have an Sionism propaganda about Israel.(some good book on scribd talk about that)

    Joseph Franklin Rutherford

    -He was a pro-zionism

    israel

    -He became antisemit(Not able to found text in english)

    En 1937, Joseph Franklin Rutherford écrivait dans Ennemies (p. 281) : « Parmi les instruments qu'elle (la "prostituée de Babylone") utilise, il y a des hommes extrêmement égoïstes appelés "juifs" qui n'ont d'intérêt que pour l'appât du gain.»

    -Trad by me:In 1937,Joseph Franklin Rutherford have writed in the book Ennemies(p.281) : with the tool that babylon the

    prostitute have,she have men extremely selfish that we call "jews" who think only for $$$ and herself.

    En 1934, dans la brochure "Peuple favorisé", le président des Témoins de Jéhovah Rutherford écrit à la page 5 : "Les hommes actuellement appelés Juifs sont des commerçants parmi lesquels se trouvent quelques-uns des hommes les plus riches et les plus avares que le monde ait connus. Certains grands chefs du Haut Commerce sont nommés Juifs. Beaucoup d'entre eux sont arrogants, fiers et très égoïstes."

    -In 1934 in the text "favorised People" Rutherford have writed in P.5:The men currently called jews are traders,some of the most rich and miser that this world have know.Some are the greatest Sellers/traders/banker who say to be jews.Some of them are arrogants,proud and egoist.

    Why Rutherford have changed of camp?

    -Money?

    -Bible?

    -Others?

    (sorry for my english)

    Leolaia
    -he have created the "Anglo-Israëlites" English-Israel theory of the "elect people"

    I think that's quite wrong. The essay by Russell presented on that website specifically disputed Ango-Israelism. And Anglo-Israelism goes back to before Russell was born:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Israelism

    Why Rutherford have changed of camp?

    -Money?

    -Bible?

    -Others?

    I think Rutherford personally didn't like Jews (if his published statements and personal anecdotes are any indication) and it took a while to change the Bible Students' pro-Zionism. And the changes allowed him to substitute his own organization for "Jews" in fulfillment of "Bible prophecy", giving him further control and prestige.

    You are barking up the wrong tree. There are a zillion ways to nail Russell and Rutherford. Your claim is a lame one. And really, not relevant in the big picture.

    Rutherford has clearly explained in one of his book that he had hoped that some wealthy men could one day help his cause, and that he was wrong, perhaps he thinked of some pro-zionist business men who he was in contact, but we can conclude it with certainty.

    On the contrary, in the Golden-Age and elsewhere, he has regularly asked the Bible Students to help the zionism cause financially. I think that Bible Students have loosed more money that they have gained in Zionism.

    Contrary to Leolaia, i think that before 1931, Rutherford was more zealous in his stand for zionism and his love for the jews than Russell, but as a man very coleric, when his expectation has ended in 1925, and he has finally realised that zionism was only a political action (and the hated League of Nations helped in some degree the Zionism) his love changed in hate.

    Who is not with me is against me.
