Taking a look backward at the evolving start of this organization it is plain to see a pattern develop of incoming power, control and divested interests
by the key orchestrators. One person that mostly has to be looked at as an important power player is Joseph Rutherford or
( Judge Rutherford as he liked to be addressed ) he truly has to be looked as the foundational builder of this organization which he may
have actual thought as his own possession.
He was the individual that instituted the name of this organization which it still holds to this day.
It doesn't take long after you analise this individuals personal character to realize what a typical power whore this guy really was.
He obviously knew of or was aware of the past proclaiming mistakes of the WTS. since he was around at the time but he also
was quite aware of the monetary wealth of the WTS. since he was the organization's chief lawyer under direction of C.T.Russell.
He could have very well continued his career in law and done well for himself, maybe even climbed up to a real position has a Judge of the land,
but the apparent vacant presidency of the WTS. after Russell's passing, looked to him as great opportunity to grasp an already cultivated power source with
the WTS. and the attaching control of the money of the Corporation, as they say today he went for it.
The most likely reason of him using the title judge was to up lift his own personal stature and to self support his own prominence and
control over his peers and associates, in other words a power playing opportunist of his generation.
