  Was the Judge a 'judge'? I guess you can decide for yourself after reading what was written in his obituary.

  i have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.it started out with a desire to watch as an adult all disney movies.

  then it morphed into all bond movies (except for the non-canonicals).now it's turned into pretty much any and all movies.

  here is my list, scratched out are ones i have seen, green are recent next-in line.turns out there was a lot i had never seen before, about 70% because of the cult restrictions!

  I sure am glad that we decided to hold our Elders meetings at this bar. Leave a few tracts around so that we can count our time. Lets have one more round before we call on Brother and Sister Depressed and Anxious. Five minutes of prattle and platitudes sprinkled with a few stock scriptures should shut them up and get the Circuit Overseer off our backs! SALUT!

  Thanks, Earnest!

  
  

  As a side question, How many brothers and sisters did the Judge have?

  3.(e) By Charitable Works for the Relief of Poverty

  by Lostandfound in

  looking at the australian wt memorandum and articles of this line took my attention.. when did they ever undertake works to relieve poverty, some discarded bethelites facing poverty would laugh at this, more like charitable works for the extension of poverty.

  but no poverty facing the ultra heavies and gb members replete with obscene displays of the means of telling the time..

  Jehovah's Witnesses have never been known as a 'real' charitable organization. The Governing Body(tm) and the 'rank and file' witnesses are lying to themselves when they make this claim. The 'world' has always seen through this false claim:

  Here is an item of interest. Although he was not elected by popular vote to be a Judge in Missouri, J.F.Rutherford 'officially' and legally served as a judge in Cooper County according to Missouri statute. I realize that this is common knowledge but it is kind of neat to see it in writing.

  "Seems the mistake is in the 1940 census." - slimboyfat

  Yes this could be true. I have found mistakes in different census years in regard to my mother. If the newspaper was incorrect, the Judge probably would have sued them because they had besmirched his 'good name'. Anything is possible and the newspaper could have made a mistake. Interestingly enough, at approximately the same time period, there was another Virginia Rutherford from Versailles, Missouri and her father's name was J. C. Rutherford! She was married to an A.L. Ross.

  I'm with you all the way ILoveTTATT2. This particular clipping is from The Sedalia Democrat Wednesday, August 1, 1928 pg. 4. I'll keep digging and let you know what I find. It's interesting to note that he had two grandchildren. I wonder what they thought of Grampy's ranting and ravings on the radio?
