i have been rereading a lot about rutherford lately; about his personality and the kind of person he was.
i have come to the conclusion that he was a lot like donald trump.. he was an accused womanizer.. he was a narcissist with a self inflated ego.
he claimed to be persecuted by the media all the time.
When I found out about the opulent lifestyle of The Judge E.G. the Judge rode around in a 12 cylinder Caddy and his pioneers pushed horse drawn buggy's private cooks and handmaidens his separation from his wife and son and as outlined by wild_thing and that this opulence has carried on til now,
