  I just started reading this book recently. The terrible things that Russell (chapter one) and Rutherford (chapter two) did are shocking. This one is seriously almost as gut wrenching as Crisis of Conscience. There are 94 footnotes in chapter one and almost every one has a specific book or article that documents the creepy things and means spirited nature of Russell. I always kind of felt that he was a good and sincere guy that had his legacy hijacked by Rutherford, but not anymore after reading that chapter.

  Good (but hard) stuff if you are still in...

  wheres caleb?

  Does the book talk about how all four of these presidents believed that the end of the system of things would happen in their lifetime?

  Not one of them got it right.

  Yes, among other things it does. I am almost done with chapter three on N. Knorr. There is hundreds of footnotes and they are in the back of the book so I am constantly flipping back and forth and am using a highlighter pen and making notes as I read it's not a "speed read". But eye opening almost as much as COC to me.
