    Just wondering if there was any film footage of the oldy Governing Body type people such as Russell and Rutherford knocking about. It would be interesting to see what they looked like in action.

    Yes, there is. Go to freeminds.org. There is a delightful film of Russell giving a talk there.

    Russell wasn't part of the Govening Body, nor Rutherford, that was invention in 1970 or around there.

    The only film footage of Russell is of the Photo Drama.

    I understand that Rutherford travelled to Israel and Eqypt and made a film about the Restoration of Israel and the Great Pyramid. This was advertised in The Golden Age, however, I don't know of anyone who may have this footage. There is also footage of the Judge giving talks at convention in Cedar Point Ohio. I remember seing them when we had a special talk one Saturday by Br. Gangus.

    I remember seeing the footage of Russell in the photo drama. Remember another line - "The First Christmas..."

    Russell didn't need a governing body. He was the top man; what he said, went. At first you will see names of various contributors to Zion's Watch Tower, but later, Russell spearheads it all. Most letters by readers of Zion's Watch Tower were addressed to Russell personally. If he had any consultants, we don't read about them. If Russell in 1915 dismissed Rutherford and others from Bethel, who had the power ?
