What evidence is there of Rutherford's legal training?
Answer: Rutherford used throughout his life the words "to wit" in his talks, speeches, and Watchtower articles!
I do not know of anyone else who used those words to that extent
Actually, one does not hear top notch lawyers using "to wit" in their ordinary speech at all....perhaps this indicates that Rutherford was really a "nit wit".
Actually, what does "to wit" mean?

VM,

VM44: "Actually, what does "to wit" mean?"
I was curious about that so looked in the dictionary.
To wit: to know, that is to say.
mckay
To wit
prep. that is to say. Example: "the passengers in the vehicle, to wit: Arlene Jones, Betty Bumgartner and Sherry Younger."
He was not a dim wit when it came to manipulating the JW masses and grabbing Russell's corporation, but he was a dim wit when it came to producing doctrine. How could after all a lawyer become a religious teacher and doctrine maker. That is obviously asburd and it showed in that most of his writings were rejected by the JWs themselves.
to wit... to wit... to wit...
That's odd... I hear a bird brain.
Not tweet, tweet, tweet, Elsewhere. Rather, twit, twit, twit,

Actually, that scenario has previous form. Father of modern evangelistic methods, Charles Finney, was a lawyer before his conversion. He made persuasive altar calls, but his doctrine and theology "sucked balls"!
Interestingly, he roamed areas of the North-Eastern USA now associated with the Dubs.
I hereby affirm and do submit that the aforementioned Joseph Franklin Rutherford, to wit, da judge, to wit der fuhrer, be hereby and from henceforth known as the Nitwit, to wit, The Twit
To wit,

Doesn't it mean "to Witness?" Also, did he have an accent? I have a friend from New Jersey that often speaks in a way that some words seem shortened.
