please let me know where i can find the pdf's for the following:(now, i know that there are multiple versions of these and that there are some that seem the same but they are not.
i am looking for the wt published versions of these publications.
The 1926 printing [Memorial Edition] of the Diaglott does not differ in any respect from earlier or later editions except in page size.
Other than the Watch Tower name on the title page, the Rotherham NT is as originally published. You don't gain anything but more work by scanning them.
an early watch tower evangelist was e. c. leigh.
in 1882, he was a student in allegheny city, pennsylvania.
he traveled through the central states in the 1880s and early 1890s.
Smiddy, none of them really know anything. They sent us copies of things post 1909, earlier history is a mystery to them. But thanks for your suggestion.

Sparrow, Thanks for your comments. Our histories focus on the Russell years, essentially a different religion than what you see today. So we don't worry about contemporary issues. Eventually, I will, without my writing partner, consider the post Rutherford years.
We have no agenda beyond giving a detailed, accurate account.
While I am empathetic toward those shunned, I am certain that I do not fully understand the consequences in the same way someone who's experienced it does. I was an Abrahamic Faith adherent for some years but differed from them on the nature of Jesus. They're Socinians; I am not. So we parted company religiously, but I did not lose their friendship.

A friend of our research posted here (old goat). He's 90, I think, and a retired history professor. He occasionally pointed to things here.
The American part of my family has a long connection to the Watchtower. I was raised a Catholic. My mother was Austrian. She converted to the Witnesses. One of my sisters did as well. I did not. But I became interested in their history. Witnesses are uncomfortable with disaffected members. I read what everyone says.

Yes, Athanasius, we have contact with their most significant researchers.

One of my best friends was a Witness named Antonious de Geuss. He lived in the Netherlands. He was an adept researcher, often finding things Dr. Schulz and I could not. Unfortunately he died, He was very, very old. We have others who are interested in our work who supplement our efforts, sometimes finding much we could not. I hope to find someone who is more competent than we are. They're out there.

An early Watch Tower evangelist was E. C. Leigh. In 1882, he was a student in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. He traveled through the central states in the 1880s and early 1890s. By mid 1890s he was living in Fort Worth Texas. We do not know his full name. Can you find it?
as at least some of you know, i am coauthor of two history books about zion's watch tower's earliest years.
we are at a dead end with one of the watch tower's earliest evangelists, s. d. rogers.
we do not know his first name or have any biography outside of a scattering of newspaper articles and mentions in zwt.
Thanks Tomas. But that's my blog. [Insert giggle here]

He may have been born in Canada. We don't know but there is a hint that he was. In 1904 he gave his address as Vassar, Michigan. There was a Samuel D. Rogers living in Lapeer, Michigan, near J. H. Paton. Don't know if that's him.

Thanks for that. We're seeking a definitive ID with first and middle name. He was born, according to his passport application, about 1847, He seems to have lived in Michigan.
