    This is what the second president of the Watchtower Society, the Channel of God appointed in 1919, wrote about the Mother's Day:

    Satan would turn the people away from this beautiful symbol, and therefore from God, and cause them to disregard the Word of the Lord. This he does in a very subtle way by organizing what in England and in America, the chief countries of Christendom, is called "Mother's Day". This day began to be observed in England, in 1913. That same year the United States Congress, by resolution, made the second Sunday in May of each year a national holiday, "dedicated to the memory of the best mother in the world, your mother. " That sounds nice, and on the face of it looks nice; but is it sincere? and what is the real purpose thereof ? Do the men of England and America love their mothers better since 1914 than they did before ? Certainly not. Is it true that every man '8 mother is the" best mother in the world"? Everyone knows that is not true. (Vindication, page 158)

    Wow!, certainly, the Channel of God hated his mother.

    There is more on that Watchtower's book:

    The women make monkeys or dupes of men. The men have become effeminate, soft and easily influenced,
    and have lost their real manhood and sturdiness in the affairs of state and home. For instance, when
    men are sitting at a table and a woman approaches, all the men arise and pay her homage and thereby
    elevate her to a place above men. The men remove their hats upon entering an elevator, if a woman is
    present; and these things are said to be acts of respect and to show that a man is a gentleman. But it
    is subtle, and the real meaning is much different from that. It is a scheme of Satan to turn men away from
    God and from his announced rule of the proper position of man and woman. The Lord has declared that
    no effeminate man shall inherit the kingdom of heaven
    . (Vindication, pages 156-157)

    Sounds like he had a bone to pick with women... I'd bet money he was one of these types that puts on a diaper and gets scolded and humiliated by a dominatrix. Often those types are politicians, judges, lawyers and religious leaders

    Rutherford was a cement-headed literalist and a blithering misogynistic idiot. And that's on his good days.

    He took making an ass of oneself and made it an art form.
