A number of statements in this article cannot be taken at face value. Among them is the claim that Russell was worth two hundred fifty thousand dollars in 1884. In fact, he was fairly wealthy in terms of 1884 dollars, but his actual net worth was about fifty thousand dollars. He spent about 38,000 dollars on the printing and circulation of Food for Thinking Christians between 1881 and 1884. This was a money losing proposition since the small book resulted in some but not many converts.

I cannot address Watch Tower finances during the Rutherford era. During Russell's administration they were shaky and by 1916 the Society was nearly broke. This was partly due to Russell's obsessive need to see his books circulated. He let colporteur accounts fall ten thousand dollars in arrears, only to be bailed out by a wealthy adherent. A court examination of Society accounts in 1911 showed that his books were a money losing proposition.
Russell may have been a fanatic, but he didn't make money from his writing. His goal was to spread Watch Tower doctrine at any cost.

Delete WT library. Run a registry cleaner. CCleaner is free. Then clean install the library. WHEN IT ASKS YOU IF YOU WANT TO AUTO UPDATE, SAY NO. If you auto update, it will stop working.

Just another thought, a question really, What do you want to accomplish with a scan of "fat boy"? If it is only to show differences, revisions to the NWT text, just scan select pages.

Destroy the 'fat boy'? They sell for bunches of money on ebay, so I doubt that will happen. But ... you never know.
