VM44,
:Were the persons (or person) who made the "direct contribution" for Beth Sarim told that their contribution would be for a house for Judge Rutherford, or a house for the "ancient worthies"?
You already know the answer to that one: both. Da Judge would live there as the "caretaker" until the ancients took up residence. Then he would just move to his other mansion across Fairmont Canyon (Beth Shan) or his luxurious upper East Side home, or to his home on Staten Island, or to his home in Germany, OR.........he would just get another "donation" to build another mansion.
Yeah he definitely wouldn't be homeless.
