I wonder why did they did that? Are they implying that Rutherford's books are of equal caliber to the other book? Do they think that JWs won't recognize the other books as being by Rutherford? Perhaps some of the people seeing the video will be interested in reading Rutherford's books. Interestingly in one of the convention videos a theological/scholarly book (with photos of pages of the Greek Septuagint containing the name YHWH) is shown being pulled out of a bookcase in which the books to the right and left of it are Rutherford's books. It actually seemed logical, if one accepts certain presuppositions - wow! If it wasn't what I have already learned I might would been fully convinced by what he said - scary. In watching one video (which might not have been a convention video) with one governing body member speaking, I became halfway persuaded by what he was saying. The JWs today have it so easy (and with far fewer pages of the WT and AW to read per year) and in a format that is more captivating. If such had been produced back in the 1990s and if the current minimalist requirements for field service time existed back then and if one could have listened to Kingdom Hall meetings at home back then, then I might would have continued in the WT religion for years more than I did. I admit that I find the videos to be very impressive - far more interesting than my experiences in the 1990s attending WT/JW conventions. One can watch the official videos of apparently the entire convention at.
