DID WT WRITERS USE DRUGS TO PRODUCE THEIR WRITINGS?

ITHAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT WT WRITERSMAY HAVE DRUGS TO PROUCE SOME OF THE WEIRD STUF THEY WROTE.

IS THEIR ANY EVIDENCE FOR THIS?

I don't know about that but Clayton Woodworth who was the editor of the awake magazine (then golden age) from the time it was launched in 1919, and was very likely behind the ban on vaccinations and then blood was a kind of spiritistic medium that received info from angels. He admitted that at some stage he got possessed by demons.

Well it certainly would explain alot.

I've never heard of the GB using drugs to produce their writings, although it's well known that Rutherford was a drunk and a mean drunk at that. It's quite possible that he penned his ban on anything remotely fun while in a drunken stupor, but I don't know of any concrete evidence to support such a claim.

As for the rest of them, I'm not aware that they used drugs and I think Ray Franz would have almost certainly mentioned this practice in Crisis of Conscience, had it been going on.

I think the top guns have just become increasingly more paranoid and drunk on their own power over the years, feeling invincible and untouchable by the masses. When you're living in La-La-Land, what seems incredibly stupid and far fetched to the average person, seems normal to you. Thus we have bizarre doctrines like Jesus returning invisibly, Jehovah choosing the Bible Students in 1919 to be His Oracle here on earth (even though they were still teaching doctrines that today you get DF'd for), bans on birthdays, Xmas, Easter etc., letting your children die rather than take a blood transfusion, cutting off your own flesh and blood when they disagree with a religion that has never gotten one prophecy right and has changed doctrines with astounding frequency over the last 130 years.

Maybe some of them should have been taking drugs......I can't imagine their writings could have been much worse.
