and many of those charlatans were the exact people Rutherford castigated in the litterature - meanwhile he was doing the exact same thing

Can you just picture Rutherford being driven around the city by his chaufer with a smug little smirk on his kisser! Good lord, probably the only other car automobile on the road as posh as his, belonged to Al Capone!!!damn I hate that guy!
While JR licks up the royalty treatment, all the little watchtower peons (you do know the true meaning of peon don`t you) are walking ....probably with cardboard stuffed inside their shoes!
I wonder if there still are records available for the registration and licenseing of his cars.

Most likely when the cars were sold after the bastard died they took the money and burned any records the WTS.
had with the WTS. name attached. There might still be some records of registration held some where in San Diego
of the cars, but that was also a time when car insurance wasn't mandatory so most likely there wouldn't be any record held
in that regard. Thanks to the inter-net though there is a viable record of this assholes lavishly acquired lifestyle.
In some ways this crook made a mockery of the people around him when he stated the homes were built only for the ancient returning worthies .
I don't think the man respected the intelligence of the people who followed his published words or the general public for that matter.
Kind of reminds me of an educated fraud playing mind games with people where and whenever it was to his best personal advantage.
This subjective arrogance still maintains itself at the head of this organization today.
God's one and only true organization guided by his holy spirit on earth ....really ?

I think another challenge in following the money is unmasking all the corporations, sub corporations, trusts and misc names (both business and individuals) used to move money and cover tracks.
This stunt makes the search for documents extemely hard as one simply does not know what to enter into 'search' or what to ask for.
The rot started with Russell.

I am also curious about sponsors of the WTS, how did they found the Publishing Company? Just on donations, or are there wealthy (bankers?) sponsoring them? Their main investor could also throw a light on the WTS.

Lady Lee:
These dates don't add up.
"Witness our hands and seals this 12th day of November, A. D. 1884.
It was approved April 29th, 1874 by the Court of Common Pleas No. 1 of Allegheny County No. September 1884 The copy I have comes from Watchtower Documents (Barb Anderson's website)"
How can something be signed and sealed in A.D. 1884 and yet be approved by the Court 10 years earlier in A.D. 1874?
Normally every where I've did legal trasactions, you had to sign and seal everything ahead of it ever getting approved.

wow I have no idea where I got the date. I have referred back to the original document and have corrected the mistake. Thanks for letting me know.
