POEMS OF DAWN: page 299
PRIDE GOETH BEFORE DESTRUCTION
A King in procession had come to the town,
Riding an ass that was playing the clown:
For as people hailed and saluted their King
And started in joy his great praises to sing,
The ass made a curtsy and smiled and bowed
And say down and salute the worshipping crowd.
The King in his rage had the ass fully stripped,
And there on the street had him publicly whipped.
Which reminds us of some that our Master has used
Who, puffed up with pride, their office abused;
And not honoring Him in all their ways,
They took to themselves His honor and praise-
But pride brings destruction or something quite near it,
And so they were stripped of the Truth and its spirit;
For they are devoid of true wisdom, alas
Who possess the audacity of the ass!

The year 1925 is a date definitely and clearly marked in the
Scriptures, even more clearly than that of 1914. WT 7/15/1924,p.211
Therefore we may confidently expect that 1925 will mark the return of
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the faithful prophets of old Millions Now
Living Will Never Die (1920) pp. 89-90, Joseph F. Rutherford

J.F.Rutherford quoted in The Watchtower-October 1, 1984, Bottom of page
24 *Regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in
1925, he once confessed to us at Bethel, I made an ass of myself.

Now why you go and do that?
Now I think I owe somebody an apology becasue they said Rutherford said Russell said that, and I said he didn't.
except I can't remember who it was. YoYoidiot I think. Or maybe You Know. Who have I insulted lately...
