Hi, everyone.
If there are those who know about the family of J. F. Rutherford, please tell me that information.
Was he divorced?
What happened to his children?
Did they live in beth Sarim together?
Was Rutherford happy?
Since he was lonely, did he drink alcohol every day?
Did not divorce
He lived seperate from his wife who was put up in a house in the LA suburbs
His son left the Watchtower Society and never wrote any expose' just left to live his own life
Beth Sarim was Rutherford's castle
You never see him smile in photos
No doubt alcoholic
Rutherford's son, Malcolm, 1911:
Was Rutherford happy? Yes he was!
Search under FArkel - he has many, many, many threads on the subject including Beth Sarim.

Thank you for that information and reply.
Well, I looked into the book of Raymond Franz yesterday.
"Years later I learned that Judge Rutherford was at that point dying of
cancer. He had been separated for many years from his wife, who was
also a Witness and who lived as an invalid in California; his one son on
reaching adulthood had shown no interest in the religion of his father.
My uncle, Fred Franz, said that the Judge’s failing condition, coupled
with his strong desire that the “end” come while he was still alive to see
it, motivated many such expressions as those made in 1940 and 1941."(CRISIS of CONSCIENCE, Fourth Edition, by RAYMOND FRANZ, 2004. (Commentary Press), p.15.)
Does this mean that he had not a sex with his wife for a long time?
To me, his family seems to almost have collapsed.
I think that alcoholics have a problem of the mind.
They may be addicted to alcohol, in order to hide their trouble, IMO.
"Jehovah's Witnesses" is formed by the doctrine which that alcoholic invented.

and then some
also note that the posters on this board did an amazing job from Farkel's original postings to a team JWN researchers that did an amazing amount of solid provable hard-core research that left no stone unturned and uncovered just how much of a hypocrite Rutherford was

He looks pretty happy and smiley at that keg party.
