refiner's,
Thanks. I'll look for it. I can tell from some recent study on them that you're right, they aren't as worried about EGW and some early "Pioneers." The JW Proclaimer's book went a little farther into their history than they had in the past, but it was obviously only to give the "illusion" of honesty. I think that the 7DA understood that they shouldn't have to feel haunted by their past, so they came clean with almost all of it. JWs have tied too much into the "why Jesus chose them and them alone" as the FDS. I get the impression that Russellites/Bible Student groups are more defensive of Russell than they have to be.
I was at the NYC Research Library on 42nd St last week to read some volumes of the Bible Examiner (George Storr's Six Sermons, etc). Turns out that a lot of this material was sent down to be microfilmed but had been "stolen" from the shelves. All of my several requests turned up only 5 empty microfilm boxes, and no actual books on the shelf either. They are trying to get a couple of things from other libraries for me, but I'd love to find a place that has all the 19th century Bible Examiner volumes, if they exist anywhere.
