mentalclarity is wrong about Russell's expectation for 1914. Russell was never expecting Christ's Second Coming in 1914.

mentalclarity is wrong about Russell's expectation for 1914.
That remark hit me too, but I believe mantalclarity was simply quoting the Time Magazine article about Fred Franz; it was that article that said this...
The next year he [Fred Franz] dropped out of the University of Cincinnati without completing his junior year; he saw no sense in remaining because the movement's founder, Charles Taze Russell, had announced Oct. 1, 1914, as the date for Christ's Second Coming.
But you are absolutely right, C.T. Russell believed in one date only for the return of Christ and that was 1874. Until the day he died Russell believed that Christ had been invisibly present (parousia) since 1874.
Either Time Magazine got their information mixed up or F. Franz had misled them.
