Jehovah witnesses invented in 1930's by Judge Rutherford

Sadly, Judge J F Rutherford had got cancer, he had to drink heavily because of the pain he was in and about the same time Hitler was rising to power as a cult leader in Nazi Germany. The feared leader of the watchtower Rutherford was spending more and more time in Beth Sarim, (originally built for a predicted 1925 resurrection of the biblical Moses, Abraham and co.) 'Judge' J. F. Rutherford, while he was there was always ready to welcome the resurrected 'princes', but had died at Beth Sarim. His last days were given some comfort by the use of a pair of 12 cylinder Cadillac automobiles (bought for Abraham etc), garaged at Beth Sarim.

STOP PRESS: Notice each time the watchtower displays a picture of him, he is almost never shown facing to the left, because that showed him as aggressive and ruthless-looking (as he was in his actual life, see the legal documents), a trained lawyer who ruled with a rod of iron, not many people would dare cross swords with Judge Rutherford and those who did were severely dealt with and with all the backing of Rutherford's following. Because of the fierce internal power struggles dividing those within, there had been the 'great schism' in the 1930's and later the phrase 'jehova witness' had began to evolve from its original origins in watchtower pyramidology.

Incidently, just as Hitler came up with 'Mine Campf' in prison, so did Judge Rutherford come up with something too while he was imprisoned, that was the new identifying name: "jehova witness", around 1931.

Then, the next task was to search for the best verse in the holy bible that would provide 'biblical support' for this new name 'j-w', that would be accepted by as many as possible of those left still following the Watchtower after the 'Great Schism'. (which of course will be described as: 'keeeping itself clean', as any high control group or cult will say)
The rest is history.

Judge Rutherford was voted in once charles Taze Russel died just like in any corporation. He was one of the Socities lawyers and with his strong personality could easily overcome any opposition. There were 4 bethelites who refused to accept him as president and Ruthrford found a discrepency they were not under a 4 year contract by charles russel. being a lawyer got rid of the brothers and appointed his own people. Read all about it in the proclaimers book there history is whitewashed in it tho.

[humanityandhistory]

Thank you lojanos, interesting, though some say that Russell's Will was almost completely ignored by watchtower society. Yes we'd expect 'official history' to be somewhat through 'rosy-tinted glasses' we're all guilty of this. There's more documented history available through online museums.

I guess a good view on the Rutherford [hostile] takeover is pastor-russell spot com, (website under renovation Aug 2008).

There's also that from the original Bible Students, still going strong today.

hitler was right about a few things and mein kamf was a good read in its day sieg heil

[humanityandhistory]

mien kamf is an eye opener. Dunno why it's 'demonised'. Religious pyramid schemes like the watchtower cult use stuff out of it. Like for instance reducing a concept down to the simplest level that can be understood and then keep battering the same thing over and over again until it is believed as truth.

First law of propaganda, even lies repeated over and over become accepted as the truth.

Rutherford was the one who set up J.W. modern teachings of the J.W. religion.

Your right..

C.T. Russell had a completely different view as to what he believed about god.

I started figuring this out 2 years ago..

If anyone looks at it in this light they will see these are 2 different style`s of religious beliefs.

In fact the C.T. Russell bible student are still in exsistance today..

Just like the Mormon religion split had happen, also the bible students had a religious split..

rutherford

you are the greatest son of bitch in the world

i fuck you and i fuck the watchtower

i piss on you .

[thepixieful]

@mygoodies411 I thought it was because he drank and hence the expression "sober as a judge" which means not sober? do you have a history source on that?not called brother? how did he get the job? also CTR died halloween night on a train, was he murdered? how did Judge R get in that position of authority?

[mygoodies411]

Yes I understand he was called Judge because he was never a baptised Jehovah's Witness and he never allowed them to call him brother.

[eternityandforever]

@saleta You seem so angry. You like to swear at God's servants? You might want to think twice about that. Swearing is from the wicked one. Satan is a liar and the Father of the lie John 8:44. Jesus was hated, he said his followers would be hated. They lied about Jesus, too. JW's are lied about. Moses was a leader of God's people. Noah was back in the day of the flood.There were so many prophets who led God's people in the past. WHY don't people realize this?WE ARE TRUE DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST

@LOJANOS ,,Who really cares about what happened in the past.lots have been learned since CTR awakened the world to the truth,he wasnt a demon no more a demon than say Billy Graham,CTR was as strong a believer in his way of truth as was Billy Graham,who's right?,well you and i personally make our choices no need for all the bad mouthing just get on with what you believe t be right.

[erwin021777]

@abrook888 - Jesus and Jehovah are the same person. So when a person puts faith in Jesus he is saved, right? I guess 1 Cor. 15:19 does NOT agree with you. It says "If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men."

[dynagravitomagnetic]

most people have never studied with scholars on ancient hebrew. My first interpretation of the literal marks read "hook", "window", "hand", "window", for the tetragrammaton. A scholar donald craig wrote that the yud, heh, yvah, heh, are trenslated as the man on earth, and woman on earth, and then man in spirit, and then woman in spirit. The name of god is both male and female. Jehovah is androgenous.

[abrook888]

Read Zechariah 11:10-13. It plainly says that Jehovah was sold out for 30 pieces of silver,yet we know that Jesus was sold for that amount: Conclusion? Jesus is Jehovah! Also Zechariah 12:10 states "They shall look up ME (Jehovah) the one they pierced and mourn for HIM...this at Armageddon. Jesus said the same text about himself in Rev 1:7 Conclusion? Jesus is Jehovah! I decree that the JW organization shall cease to exist in Jesus' name!It is done! I send forth the angels of truth!
