this is amazing, because rutherford really was quite an ignorant man, particularly about science.. he was, however, very very crafty, and was able to place himself as president for life of a religious organization, and have all the members of the religion thinking that he was chosen by jehovah god himself to lead and manage the religion.

I believe he was a public prosecutor for a few years in MO but I am uncertain if it was an elected position.

can judge rutherford be considered successful person?

the answer is "yes, he was very successful indeed.".

Hi TMS,

You wrote "Rutherford was a success as a politician"

I have read that he was involved in politics (and of course you could be referring to "political" within the organization) but have yet to find a solid reference.

"Rutherford Uncovered" mentions it as does Gruss but ...nothing specific like "in 19XX, Rutherford ran for office of XX and won/lost..."

Do you have any information regarding his life as a politician?

Thank you.

after exactly 1 year on discovering jwd and working through emotions, feelings etc, i feel the need to relate this.. as a witness i really believed i was smart.

i believe i must have had a high iq.

that i knew so many more things then others.

Intelligence and knowlege aren't the same

Go to any Mensa meeting and you will prove this point. :-)

There are lots of dumb smart people and smart dumb people (as in "dumb is as dumb does").

What constitutes proper use? Watchtower Library has been designed for your personal use. Hence, you may copy, print, or excerpt from the data for your personal use. But you may not distribute the program or large sections of the data to others who do not own Watchtower Library on CD-ROM. Nor may you copy, print, or excerpt from the copyrighted data to prepare and distribute books. Please do not put the program or data on the Internet or any public network.

I'm not an expert but what has been done does not seem to violate the "proper use" clause. I guess you could say the "program" is being distributed to some who do not "own Watchtower Library on CD-ROM" but ... I own it.

Notice they say "Please do not put the program or data on the Internet or any public network" as opposed to "You may not" ....I dunno' it seems very grey if they do not sell the material in its original form and they do not sell the material in the CD form ....I'm not concerned....I don't see the tort.

But, again, I'm no expert. (I'm starting to sound like Harold Dies (sp?) who would qualify everything ("sometimes, not always, but often....")

Maybe we can expect the WT to come after all of us downloaders, ala Napster.

What would be the tort? They are not for sale...are they? They are for Jehovah's Witnesses.... as was astutely observed....many are JWs without being followers of the WTBTS. I believe they are distributed to JWs for free...although a donation might be accepted. I could be wrong.
