Remembering Rutherford

by Sea Breeze in

he seems to me to be the angriest and most ill-tempered of all the wt presidents, especially after his stint in prison and failed prophecies.. “regarding his misguided statements as to what we could expect in 1925, he [rutherford] once confessed to us at bethel, “i made an ass of myself.”” watchtower 1984 oct 1 p.24.

rutherford died at beth sarim on january 8, 1942, at the age of 72.

Dis, I was reading quite a bit of that thread. A lot of research there! Earnest, the poster, who I believe was associated with Watchtower and maybe became a Dawnist?? Has excellent responses to Farkel and company. All in all a great thread 🧵!

i have to share.

i went to the supermarket last night and got one item.

i placed the 10 dollar bill on the item.

Nothing else was happening. A ten dollar bill on a wrapped sandwich simply laying on top in front of her. She was just a horrible clerk.

What Were You or Someone You Knew Counseled For That Was Ridiculous?

back in the day, tons of witnesses were brought in the “back room “ to be counseled by elders because of their dress and grooming.

some elders frowned on mustaches or hair that went past a certain point on a male.

women were regularly harassed because their skirt was too long or too short or had a slit on the side.

That’s just to name a few things. What were you counseled over that in reality was ridiculous??

Dis, in CONTEXT, my comments to Farkel meant this: Farkel verbally beat up anyone who couldn’t “prove” what they were alleging. If I said , elders were told by Circuit Overseers that such and such a thing was policy, he would say PROVE IT! If it was a conversation between you and the CO and it was not provable, he would dismiss your statement as not being verifiable or possibly truthful. So I gave him back his own medicine. Like I said, I believed everything he suggested there.

There are weirdos everywhere and some think it’s literally ok to beat your kids. Some are Catholic, Protestant, Jews and Muslims and yes even Jehovah’s Witnesses. It’s not typical of any of these people to beat their kids to death. Suggesting otherwise is being dishonest.
