but couldn't Bonnie Boyd have been Rutherford's illegitimate daughter?
Blondie! That is indeed a speculative statement!
Perhaps when Farkel posts Bonnie's picture we can see if there is any family resemblence to Rutherford!

Hi Kenneson,
I thought that I remembered reading about a poster here who was writing a book on Rutherford. I found it.
Great News! How did you find the post? I have been having a hard time finding older posts here at JWD.
I am the one that keeps asking who is writing the Rutherford book.
I would like to know who it is.

Berta is said to have lived at the house Beth Sarim in San Diego until it was sold in the late 1940s.
Raymond Franz once stayed at Beth Sarim.
Perhaps someone could contact Ray and ask if Berta was there at the time, and if he could supply any more details concerning Berta?

Great work Leolaia!
This pretty much clears up the hairpin story as far as Berta is concerned.

Leolaia,
Looks like I will have to get Berta's obit by snail mail, so we will have to wait about a week or so. I will post what I find out.

Her obit might have been published in the Long Beach Press-Telegram. Perhaps it is available at Ancestory.com?

Think James Penton will read this thread?
It would be interesting to get his comments.

Remember how the Watchtower (I believe in the Proclaimer's book) said that Mary Rutherford died a faithful witness?
You know what "faithful" REALLY means to the Watchtower? That Mary Rutherford KEPT QUIET about what she knew! and I bet she could have provided a lot of information about "da Judge"
Leolaia found some information about Mary Rutherford in the 1930 census that should not be forgotten. Mary was listed in the census as the HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD, and her occupation was listed as NONE! She was about 61 in 1930, which was a depression year. What was her source of income? She was married to Rutherford, but she was the HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD?
Did Rutherford send money to Mary? Did he use Watchtower funds?
If so, that would be one reason Mary Rutherford would have kept quiet.
Malcolm Rutherford, their son, would have known, but he decided to keep quiet his whole life, no interviews, nothing.
There might be a family relation somewhere who knows what the story is, but have to find them.
RR, you said in another thread you know something about this, what do you know? you have to say something! At least PM me!

metatraon,
More than one old timer referred to the example of King Saul and 'not touching God's anointed' when speaking about Rutherford's cruelty and scofflaw private behavior.
So everyone is supposed to look away and keep quiet?
I have heard the phrase "not touching God's annoited" used by people trying to defend Benny Hinn!
Actually, it is taken out of context, it does not mean that "the annoited ones" are above accountability, it means you are not to go out and kill God's annointed!
Sheesh! Talk about trying to get special treatment using the Bible!

Hi Cyberguy,
Perhaps you could provide the names of the elders with whom Berta spoke? at least the ones that have since died.
Do you think the remaining living elder would make a statement? (I know, very slim chance, especially if he wants to remain an elder!, but I have to ask)
It is important to get some names in order to provide additional credibility to the story. Although nothing in error has been pointed out so far.

Hayden C. Covington, well known WT attorney and associate of Rutherford, made a remark about Rutherford and celibacy, even if it was phrased as a question.
"If your wife was an invalid, what would you have done?"
That says alot, doesn't it? That those close to Rutherford knew what was going on.
From this thread, it is revealed that besides Covington, Knorr also knew!
I cannot find the reference, but the quote was published. Does anyone here recall that Covington quote? and where was it published?
