Anybody out there got a link where the Watchtower between the years 1917 and 1922 can be accessed?
Also WTs from 1938, the "Organization" WTs.
I want to complete my reading.
Thanks.
If the rutherford WTs arent up on the net, one of you comp gurus should hang em up.
Theyre a bigger eye opener than anything in Russell.
The pre-1930s Watchtowers are legally owned by the Bible Students Association, and that is why the WTS cannot publish them.
The Bible Students do publish a CD rom with the old WTs on them, you might have to search for the link. You might want to email Ozzipost as he's obtained the CD from them.
Here's a website that has some old Russellite books online: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Thebes/5606/Catalog.htm
Hope this helps.
Why are they owned by the Bible Students? Do you know anything about that?
I was under the impression the older literature was not copyrighted, and so was "owned by nobody"?

Many better men & women than I have gone to a great deal of time, trouble and expense to put some of the Society's older publications online - you simply need to search for them and save them to your hard drive.
I've put some of the more important works all together on one page.
You will find:
[1] Russells six volume work - Studies in the Scriptures.
[2] Russells 'posthumous work' - The Finished Mystery.
[3] Tabernacle Shadows of the 'Better Sacrifices' (pdf)
[4] Pastor Russell's Sermons (pdf)
[5] The Photo Drama of Creation - complete!
[6] The entire set of Zion's Watch Tower from 1896 to the 1916!
[7] The current Elders Manual plus add-ons.
Enjoy!

Many thanks.
Nic has given a link that has the "Finished Mystery" on it.
Excellent.
What fun I'll have with THAT one over the next week or so.
Also, a person who shall remain unidentified has emailed me and is sending a CD rom with the 1920s WTs on it....
Oh Joy!!Bliss!!
Thanks to all contributors.
...."Through St. John the Lord Jesus revealed the fact that the Church would be developed during seven distinct periods, or epochs; and that for each of these epochs He would have a special angel, or messenger, to serve the other members of the Body. It follows, then, that the messenger to the last, or Laodicean, epoch would declare the Presence of the Lord and the time of the Harvest of the Gospel Age. The great Master laid special emphasis on the importance of the messenger to the seventh, or Laodicean, period of the Church, saying that such an one would be "a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord would make ruler over all His Household, to give them meat in due season.".....Those consecrated Christians who have read and fully appreciated the Truth as contained in the preceding six volumes of STUDIES IN THE SCRIPTURES readily see and agree that Charles Taze Russell was the messenger of the Church of Laodicea. In the mind of every one who believes the Bible the evidence set forth in this volume will establish that fact beyond the question of a doubt.....
In 1879 Charles Taze Russell began the publication of THE WATCH TOWER, of which he was the sole editor as long as he remained on earth. THE WATCH TOWER was, and is, the first and only journal declaring the presence of the Lord Jesus. Pastor Russell being the messenger to the Laodicean Church, and occupying the position of the Lord's special servant to give the Household or Faith meat in due season''.....
Haha. Thats just on page 3 of Finished Mystery...
