Rutherford expressed a lot self opinionated sensationalism in the literature he penned.
I guess he thought he had the right and position to since god selectively had choose him as a messenger for all mankind.
A self appointed anointed one, an overextending egotist, a power seeking opportunist wrapped up in posture righteous vilification.
Who drove around in the most expensive cars he could find, sometimes with his mistress by his side, yes he had to be the chosen one.

All this information about Rutherford about what he said, what he did and published clearly exposes the pretentious fraud of what made the JWS religion from its original beginning. .
The real heart of what they did was exploit people's ignorance and emotions of the possibility of Jesus Christ returning to save mankind and take that exploitation to spur on the distribution of the literature the WTS published, the countable numbers were great but so too were the lies and deceptions.
so, i was going through some consolation magazines of 1939, and found this absolute prediction by rutherford:.
only 8 years later .....
oooooopssss......!!.
Yes the Jews will never be restored as a nation but they have the opportunity to come under the theocratic government (Himself) and the JWS organization.
Man that guy could bulllshit up a story couldn't he ?
He was drunk on both power and booze.
so my wife and i just went on a walk, remember right now she has been listening to her convention.
so she starts in with the world is getting bad and will end soon.
what started it was we were talking about the economy and such.
Rocketman - over the past few years I've had that thought a lot
The reason why the WTS say things are getting worse and have been for over 100 years is because Satan knows his time of his removal from earth is soon so he has been making things worse for mankind.
Its part of the we are living in the end times doctrine the JWS propagate..
" The Truth " tells us something completely different though.

That's the propagation made the WTS leaders for decades now and it is false information because the fact is humanity over the centuries has gotten better, for example there are less wars, less famine there were greater plaques, more earthquakes etc. etc.
The problem with the JWS is that they take whatever the GB heads spout as being the actual unquestionable truth, this includes interpretation of bible scripture.
The truthful reality is usually something quite different, but one needs to be secular educated, but since most JWS are not well educated the ignorance circulates throughout the organization from the top down.
regarding what some have said here about the wt being a false prophet.. i would like to make my point regarding the wt not being a false prophet... so please, if you can be patient enough to read this, at least try to understand what i am getting at.. a false prophet is one who, according to deuteronomy, makes a false prediction of the future and claims that the prediction came from god, or in other words claiming that 'god has said he will do a certain thing at a certain time' etc.. for example, hypothetically speaking, if someone had claimed: "god will bring about the end of the world in 2010", they would have been proven to be a false prophet, obviously.
but, as an example, imagine a man who claimed the position of a prophet of god, (as moses did, because although he was not the type of prophet that predicted the future.. he was still a prophet or spokesman for god) and that he had publicised worldwide, according to his interpretation of a (for example) prophecy found in the book of isaiah, that the world would end in 2010.. and he had also stated that he was not saying that god will end the world in that year.. but only that there was biblical evidence that god might do so.
that would clearly have been a mistake.
Oh yes it is
A false prophet that made true money.
Did they sanctify Jehovah's name ?
I dont think so !
The leaders of the WTS should have adhered to Jesus's words when he said no one knows of the time not even he, but then again the WTS wouldn't have sold so much literature .
first thing comes to mind is that this organization through its leaders are not witnessing the true and honest version of the gospel teachings of jesus christ .. they are subjectively teaching/preaching a tainted version made up by the top controlling men of the organization, which i'm sure is connected to the proliferation and distribution of literature which these men publish themselves.
.
when jesus said that no one knows of the time not even he, he didn't say a select few will know .. the other thing that bothers me is this organization promotes human ignorance on many levels, admonishing education or knowledge that mankind needs for its very survival... there are many other religious organizations that do this as well but the jws is just one of these organizations.
I hate the fact that is was false prophet charlatanism that virtually built this organization from the ground up and all of its containing wealth and power.
The Watchtower Corporation proclaimed things that never happened but they certainly distributed and circulated a lot of literature.

It becomes a bit ironic when you think about entire the core foundation of the JWS religion is based upon false prophecy and apostasy according to scripture.
How and why did these self described chosen anointed ones (men) do that ?
Maybe they weren't the chosen anointed ones after all but spirit directed men by Satan the great liar and deceiver, who instigated these men away from true righteousness toward Jehovah ???
They placed the power, vindication and glory of god upon themselves for themselves.
par 7. jws are proud of bring uneducated to the point of being anti education.. par 8. the boreans studied what they were told and verified it, unlike the forbidden research now.
a religion that sprang from the adventist movement in the 1800s, founded in america, headquartered in america but not american.
🤯.
Many religions admonish education as being useless dribble, for the reason that higher education equates to particular knowledge and non support toward spiritual adherence, which the top religious leaders use to both control people with and empower themselves.
i found this interesting perspective on reddit.. post;.
i remember the moment the first real crack in my faith happened as a jehovah's witness.
i was sitting in the kingdom hall during the watchtower study where, as is common, the article was talking about how the israelites as a nation abandoned jehovah.. "but wait," i thought, "having a nation represent him here on earth was part of his plan.
Sooner or later JWS have to face the lies, ignorance and corruption which this organization was built upon.
Perhaps it might be easier these days with the available information on the inter net.
ie ..... before I left in the mid 1980's I didn't know that the self proclaiming "Anointed" president of the JWS J Rutherford was a boozing adulterator who at the end of his life was separated from his wife, who lived in a self built mansion he called Beth Sarim, who drove the most expensive cars and surrounded himself with bodyguards whenever he made a public appearance.
