DATA-DOG............your comment is the exact premise of the book THE HARP OF GOD. Rutherford still taught this in the 1920's as a direct carryover from Russell's teachings. The final chapter is entitled : RESTORATION. This is why he made the claim: "Millions now living will never die." He firmly believed that every member of the human race, living and dead, would receive a chance at life in Paradise and that only the willfully wicked and incorrigible would be destroyed by Jehovah. This scenario seems to be more noble and just than the current Watchtower teaching of a vengeful Jehovah destroying billions of people (children included) just because they had never heard of his 'faithful and discreet slave' or read their inane publications.

True, it seems more noble. Perhaps the "spirit" (🍺) that directed Boozerford caused him to stumble upon some truth...

Revelation 3:14 describes only Jesus as God's faithful and true witness - everyone else had to witness for Christ - not God! There's not a single scripture which says Christians would/should witness for God!

Rutherford conned the Bible Students with his re-branding exercise. Nice job!

" Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jehovah will execute billions of persons, but only those whom Jehovah deems non-reformable and incorrigibly wicked. Who are these ones? We cannot say, nor can we judge our fellow man."
DD They could never say that because it would totally contradict their disfellowhipping procedures. I don't think they'll be giving up on those anytime soon. It is the only thing keeping many in the org. The above sentiment would also encourage many to fade from meetings and FS.

The WT writing department will someday be forced to write: " Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that Jehovah will execute billions of persons, but only those whom Jehovah deems non-reformable and incorrigibly wicked. Who are these ones? We cannot say, nor can we judge our fellow man.".....DD
