What planet are you on KT? Rutherford is the one who turned Russell's fairly non-dangerous but crazy religioin into a cult. That's the fella I'm referring to. In his world everyone was to deny themselves and do what they're told from above.
I once asked my father if the CO told him that all elders had to wear pink tutu's to the meetings, even if he personally knew it was wrong scripturally to cross-dress, would he comply with the orders. He said he would wear the pink tutu. This is the kind of man they want for elders.
