so, bookmark it, please, bro' focus is in possession of noo light, and we're going to explore russell like you've never seen him explored before.. we're approaching his 100th death anniversary, and for all i know this virtual exhumation may lead to a real one.

Given the official paper, the original court document, it would be impossible for any of the trustees to have not known of Russell's involvement, no matter what the Brooklyn Eagle claimed. Wild claims and nonsense speculation as found in these posts hurt our cause. And they're stupid.
i have them poping up all over this site.
is it my computer or is it this forum?.
probably have malware. run a scan. try spybot search and destroy.
since the faithful and discreet slave class now opposes higher education because it allegedly brings with it 'bad association', i wonder what their take is on online education.
let's remember that distance education was pioneered by fundamentalist saudi arabia and apartheid south africa for the very reasons that the jehovah's witnesses criticize higher education.
my wife is one of the faithful and i fear for our kids future, that they will see no point in keeping their grades up.
An additional thought: The Watchtower fears bad association far less than exposure to ideas they reject. They kill any native reasoning ability for the sake of sectarian unity, leaving Witnesses incapable of reasoning through new material. Rational thought and Watchtower belief are not compatible.

I agree with Band on the Run. A significant part of education is interaction with your instructor and with fellow students. However, if one must seek online instruction there are a few good regionally accredited programs. Western Governors University is one. Several high class universities offer part distance learning. Check with your state universities first. Another approach is to mix challenge tests and class room attendance. Some universities offer an assesment of prior learning, credit for life experience.
I don't know the current status of the program, but back in the day U. of Illinois had a quality distance program.

Prove just like you? You mean use coloured fonts and exagerated claims? You mean use ad hominem instead of reason? Or do you mean engage in wild speculation instead of appealing to fact?

At the time of the 1911 trial, the Brooklyn Eagle was Catholic leaning and noted for Yellow Journalism. One can't ignore its articles, but they are extremely biased, not just religiously but politically. Using the Eagle as a sole source is poor work.
it just kills me when i look at the scriptures in the nwt and alot of times when it refers to jesus christ it says the christ.
to me this is taking away his .
sovereignty.
The NWT uses the phrase "the christ" because that's what the Greek text says: ὁ χριστός. ho christos. The christ. The NWT is a semi-literal translation. It pays particular attention to definite articles. F. W. Franz usually translated anarthrous words with an indefinite article (a, an). In Koine Greek (Biblical Greek), a substantive without an article takes an indefinite article in English. Greek does not have indefinite articles. For clarity (and so you don't have to run to a dictionary) a substantive is a word that acts as a noun.
ὁ χριστός (the christ) suggests that he was anointed in a particular sense, that he was the christ par excellence.
gorby and his lovely wife had during dinner a chat about watchtower hypocrisy.
she faded with me since 2007 and shows sometimes affection for the organization.. we talked about the gb and ray franz.. she asked me if she could read my ray franz books.. now i have a dilemma.
the books gave me a hard time in the '90.. i know the ray franz truth can hurt and shock her so much.
Let her read them.

Focus,
If you say this article isn't in the eagle files, i'm certain you're correct. It is, however, available through two search funcitons. You've raised this issue to avoid presenting facts. You raised the issue of taxes and tax avoidance. Prove it. If you can't. say so.

Facts, focus. Not vituperation. Grow some.
