Thank you for posting this!
(Though I had decided to post no more, this article defeated my resolve. This is my last comments)
I appreciate the author's keen intellect. What he said about Rutherford of course runs counter to the qualifications outlined in 1 Tim 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9
But there was one man in contrast to Rutherford in India, unwittingly fulfilling all the scriptural qualifications for appointment. (Mathew 21:43) All the evidence points that appointment is gone to him. Here is the proof:
Though JWs calculated “Seven Times” as ending in the year 1914 which meant planting (or “sprouting”) of God’s tree on earth), world did not witness anything positive taking place in the year 1914, but instead witnessed a World War (1914-1918), which ended, sowing seeds for a Second World War (1939-1945). Hence the first half of the 20 th century saw the beginning of the climax of moral decline—a time that would attract God’s attention for His incarnation, as promised in many scriptures, including Gita 4:7.
From what has been experienced, we can say that God’s incarnation was in a different sense. He did not take birth in any woman’s womb. Rather God Almighty simply borrowed physical frame of a worthy person. In the year 1936, God, the Supreme Soul, entered into the body of a 60-year old spiritual magnet, named Dada Lekh Raj (a diamond merchant in Sindh Punjab, presently part of Pakistan) gave him six visions, one of which showed how this old world would be replaced with a Golden Age, and then commissioned him to herald this good news to the whole world. God renamed him, by his character, as Brahma (great mind, the one who treats God as his Father and others as his brothers and sisters) and called his copies as Brahmakumaris and Brahmakumars. (Compare Mathew 21:43; 23:9) And from 1936 onward, God has been teaching them Golden Aged life, using His copies.
Through His pure teachings (His simple teaching is this: altruism is virtue and egoism is sin), God laid foundation for a new tree. This is in conformity with what we observe in the nature—out of the old tree comes the foundation of the new tree. Those who are the leaves of the old tree, the souls of Iron Age [Kaliyug], experience transformation and become the foundation for the Golden Aged tree, or the New World. This comes about through developing a great mind, or bringing a change in consciousness—from body consciousness to soul-consciousness, and then a change in sanskaras [the unique personality traits].
Interestingly, Jewish and other Christian scholars had been saying Jerusalem fell to the Babylonians in the year 586 BCE (not in 607 BCE as JWs erroneously believed). (http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/11407-nebuchadnezzar; Encyclopedia.com; The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Eerdmans, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1982, page 1016) Also see foot note*
If one goes by the year 586 BC, he is really in for a surprise! 585 years of BC and 1935 years of AD make 2520 years. That means God’s planting of the seed of the Golden Aged tree would happen after the year 1935. And It DID happen in the very next year, in 1936, as shown in the fourth paragraph!
Interestingly, Bible provides more information on the identity of Golden Aged people. They will renounce all kinds of lust (Mathew 25:1-13) and have their head-quarters on a mount where they will receive spiritual feeding program from their heavenly Father.—Isaiah 2:2-4.
Anyone who studies about Brahmakumaris will readily realize that they have the purity; and their head-quarters is situated on a literal mount (Mount Abu, Rajasthan, India) to which people from ‘all the nations stream’. (Isaiah 2:2) A group of over 30,000 people from all over the world come here on rotation, stay and take in advanced spiritual feeding program for a week. And FIGURATIVELY too, these people are on an exalted mountain because of their high moral standards and purity. (Compare Psalm 73:1; Mathew 5:8, 9) The prophecy also speaks of their practice of non-violence as another identifying mark. (Isaiah 2:4) They neither kill any being nor support killing as they follow a strict vegetarian diet cooked in loving remembrance of God.—Genesis 1:29; Matthew 9:13; Contrast Philippians 3:19.
The people with a keen insight have been benefiting from these Golden Aged people called Brahmakumaris. They know that the present world is like an old tree that must give way to the new. So on one hand they see the old tree that is no longer able to continue, and on the other the foundation of the new tree already being laid by the Supreme. The destruction of the old tree occurs in different ways. It goes through great upheaval due to natural calamities—earthquakes, floods, and great violence in nature. And there is confusion amongst human beings and this leads to anarchy and civil strife, signs of which are already apparent. Even the so-called developed countries are witnessing frequent unrest due to their mishandling of economic policies and their huge debt of unimaginable proportion! Then the tree is finally destroyed with the power of all the stock-piles of arms man has manufactured. Once the old tree is destroyed, the sapling, which has already been established, begins to bloom. A recreation, a new world, a golden age, a new tree, begins again.—Compare Genesis 1:27-31; 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1.

In 586 B.C.E., the Babylonian Empire (ancient Iraq) conquered Yehudah (Judah), the southern region of ancient Israel.
Babylonians occupied the Land of Israel and exiled the Yehudim (Judeans, or Jews), as captives into Babylon. Some 50 years later, the Persian Empire (ancient Iran) conquered the Babylonian Empire and allowed the Jews to return home to the land of Israel.
Caution:
Anti-brahmakumaris sites can say whatever they like. It is natural that some cannot be objective about them, because Brahamakumaris shun some of the world's most favorite habits such as sex, non-vegitarian diet, movies, alcohol, fashion materials ......
