i was thinking a bit about this the other day.
ct russell, from what i remember about him, kinda seemed like a genuine, nice(ish) guy, although he had a few eccentric but harmless ideas.. during the russell era jws (actually bible students) could still celebrate christmas, worship in other churches if there was no kingdom hall available, and accept blood transfusions.. then after russell died, along came rutherford - a major league a-hole, for sure.. rutherford had plenty of eccentric ideas but at least some of them weren't/aren't harmless.
some have been long forgotten about - jesus depicted without a beard, the plan to rename the names of the week because names such as thursday (thor's day) is pagan, the articles about the 'dangers' of aluminium, etc.. one key contribution of rutherford which does a lot of harm is no blood transfusions, even in life-threatening situations.. another is shunning, something which never occurred under russell, or at least was much milder.. rutherford has a lot to answer for, i reckon ....
You talk disparagingly about his theological training, but which theological school did the apostle Peter attend, or James or John
Ahem, Jesus himself.

ALL of the subsequent WT leaders and many of the R & F have followed in these footsteps that glorify ignorance, the uneducated and self-righteousness.
Sea Breeze has nailed it!

been allowed to make love to any woman he feels like by his wife.
Let’s not be genteel about it, he wanted to fuck whoever he could.
Love has nothing to do with it.
as far as i know ramapo and one in australia are being built.

Yep, here in the land Downunder my neighbours have built a series of buildings (sheds) that look quite neat but not much movie-making activity to be seen yet.
here in 2022 if anyone says anything against the vaccines even a little bit you are almost apostate.. someone once mentioned all vaccinated sports stars collapsing and someone else said not to speak badly about the gb or by extension jehovah.. the gb can’t get out of this one, it’s gone too far.
it’s now the case that if you speak against the vaccines you are speaking against the gb and by extension jehovah .
What is it with society these days, and especially in the good old US of A?
conspiracy theory seems to be ‘de riguer’.
I feel sorry for the next (overlapping) generation.
Oh well , Cheers 🍷
obviously, the older “ anointed ” from 1914 died.
and because they were anointed, they hopefully went to heaven.
in the first century though, a newer generation did not replace the old.
The sign that we @ JW have been preaching about all these years too although experienced by and affecting everyone like in the first century is not viewed as the sign of the last days either by people in general.
Drawing a long bow again old son!
