I noticed a recent comment the other day on a piece I wrote several years back on Rutherford and Al Capone. It was posted here first, but it is now on another (actually several) websites. The (obviously) dub writer was upset that I didn't present links and "verifiable" references to prove my statement that Grudge Rutherford had two 16 cylinder Cadillac automobiles, among some other things I stated. The writer obviously was mocking my piece because I didn't do this, ending its [sic] comment with "hmmmmm......"
So, out of curiosity, I decided to see how much "research" it would take to verify that one challenge from the comment writer. I went to Google. I typed in "Judge Rutherford Cadillac" and bingo! In about 15 nanoseconds there was a scan of the car and Da Judge together and the source reference which was the Watchtower's own 1931 "Messenger" pamphlet right there to see. Plus about a zillion other sites that confirms it.
Others have questioned the existence of Beth Sarim and Beth Shan. Type in either of those names and bingo! Every reference, citation, scan, whatever is spoon fed to them. There are so many more examples of WT scandals that can be revealed and documented with a 3 or 4 word search that it boggles the mind. But more importantly, there are so many more examples of lazy ass dubs who won't even take that 3 seconds of effort to put their own religion to simple tests that it blows away a rational mind.
Obviously, these people are on the Internet and obviously, they must know the power of Google. What is most interesting is that, if some wacko bullshit is printed in their own literature, which quotes some unnamed source, from some unnamed reference, they swallow that crap whole as "spiritual food."
I have concluded, that dubs have taken the Berean scriptural model and morphed it into those "who diligently make others do all the searching for them, not in order to prove things for themselves, but to waste everyone else's time."
The title of this thread says it all. Dubs are either schmucks who won't take the time to learn the truth about their religion (but insist that everyone outside of their religion do it), or they are too afraid to learn the truth, or they "can't handle" the truth, so won't look into it. Or just plain braindead.
Out of all of those possibilities, I suspect they are just "lazy ass braindead dubs," who don't give a shit about anything remotely resembling truth, much less "The Truth."
Note to Rick, the nomorekoolaid man: the one time that I participated in your conference call with Lady Lee, you had a trivia quiz and your first question involved those two cars. I knew the answer and punched in to respond before your question was halfway finished, but I was locked out! It took another ten seconds or so before you found another winner. Someone else won! As a result, I was so pissed off, I went out and kicked nine dogs, three cats and 15 JWs in field service, four of them being pioneers and at least 2 being elders. I felt guilty about that and did my penance by doing three hours of Street Work starting at four o'clock in the morning on the least-traveled road I could find. I starched my clothes, magazines and body and never moved a muscle the entire time, so I could get through it. I never looked at anyone, either. But I counted the time! Just thought I would share that one for the record.
