Does the Society still own the land that held the cemetery on Staten Island? Or, did the church buy the land?

Well, the burial plot was said to be on Staten Island. I don't think the grave was ever marked. Has anyone here ever visited the Society's cemetery on Staten Island? I believe it's where A.H. Macmillan was also buried.

Drew,
I'm not sure it solves the mystery. That's the Society's statement on where JFR was buried. I still remember talking to a friend back in the early 80s who had just that day visited with Fred Franz at Bethel. He was at a gathering in a Bethelite's room and Franz was there too. My friend asked Fred Franz where Judge Rutherford was buried. Franz replied, "Beth Sarim." Perhaps he was getting senile? Or, did he feel that it wouldn't hurt to tell the truth?

I meant to add this file originally also. It's a smaller version of the same magazine. Scans are the same, but it's not searchable. It's about 5 MB and can easily be sent via email. Some might prefer this format:

The May 27, 1942 Consolation (the precusor to Awake!) contained a lengthy 16 page article about the failed attempts of the Watchtower Society to bury Judge Rutherford at his beloved home in San Diego, Beth Sarim. It contains a fascinating look into the place Beth Sarim held for JWs during this period. For those interested, a new scan of this issue of Consolation (indexed and fully searchable) can be downloaded from this filesharing site:

Oldest bible being put online - what will that mean for WTS teachings?
by Simon in(and of course for christianity as a whole).
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7651105.stm.
the problem is ... the oldest bible shows that it's been changed significantly so all the claims about it being gods word are clearly bogus.

50 copies would not make a distribution list. Nor would it have the same sort of clout as the 1611 "Authorized" Version. Books then had to be hand copied and only represented the particular person (or group of persons) who put it together. They were not "official" texts. The first such "official" text would probably be Jerome's (which is later).

My wife has a Bible that has a section in the back that contains devotional articles. Does that mean they're considered part of the Bible? How many JWs have had the "Reasoning" book added to the back of their Bibles? Just because the Shepherd of Hermas was added to that particular Codex does not mean it was considered on the same level as other books. That's a very anachronistic view -- looking at the Bible like the Protestants have since the 1500s. The early Church did not publish Bibles in book form for distribution.
