Consider what Moyle says about the "Treatment of the Brethern"
(1) Shortly after coming to Bethel we were shocked to witness the spectacle of our brethren receiving what is designated as a "trimming" from you. The first, if memory serves me correct, was a tongue lashing given to C. J. Woodworth.
(2) Others have been similarly treated. McCaughey, McCormick, Knorr, Prosser, Price, Van Sipma, Ness and others have been similarly scolded.
(3) This summer some of the most unfair public reproaches have been given. J. Y. McCauley asked a question which carried with it a criticism of the present method of Watch Tower study. For that he was severely reprimanded.
(4) Brother Worsley received a public denunciation from you because he prepared and handed to brethren a list of helpful Scripture citations on fundamental topics.
(5) [Concerning the ushers at the Madison Gardens talk] They were on the job immediately when the disturbance started and quelled a disturbance which would have otherwise reached serious proportions. But for two weeks following the convention there has been constant criticism and condemnation of them from you. They have been charged with dereliction of duty and labeled as "sissies".
(6) You have stated many times that there are no bosses in the Lord's organization but the undeniable fact cannot be evaded that your actions in scolding and upbraiding these boys are the actions of a boss. It makes one sick at heart and disgusted to listen to them. If you will cease smiting your fellow servants Bethel will be a happier place and the Kingdom work will prosper accordingly.
It is amazing that these people put up with these "trimmings" from Rutherford. In fact, during the Moyle court trial, these very people who were subjected to a tongue lashing by Rutherford denied on the stand that he ever did speak harshly in public to them.
Also, no one of these people (except Moyle) wrote about Rutherford's bossy, overbearing and unkind treatment. I find that amazing. The only reason I can think of is that to speak out against Rutherford would have lead to them being booted out of the organization, and after Rutherford died, what would be the point of saying anything? Hence everyone remained silent. This also makes it easier for The Watchtower to say anything it wants to about Rutherford at this late date, such as "Rutherford was a humble man"!!!
But still, with all the people who were at Bethel and knew Rutherford personally for years, one would think someone would have written something about Rutherford.
The truth of the matter is that "Judge" Rutherford was a loud, pompous, overbearing, opionated oaf!
