  homerovah,

  :Personally I think that home was just an established gimmick orchestrated by Rutherford to build and live in himself a home which was funded by the proceeds of the organization.

  The money to buy the land and build that home was privately donated, as was the money for the two outrageously expensive 16 cylinder Cadillacs that Rutherford enjoyed. It most likely came from William Heath, Senior, I believe. Same thing for Beth Shan. It was Heath Junior and Bonnie Boyd who lived in that one.

  The only other thing Rutherford needed was a cover story to justify the home, and Fred Franz was the man who concocted the whole resurrection of the ancients and the 1925 prediction for armageddon garbage.

  Interesting stuff. Did they really forge smallpox vaccination cards?

  Didn't just forge the cards, people would get burnt with acid to give them a scar. Joan Cetnar's mother had a scar around her leg because the Dr. spilt too much and the acid ran.

  I didn't get the privilege of meeting Bill, but Joan has been a great help to me.

  Farkel , thanks for your input , I've read the possibility of the homes and land were donated to the organization by someone, I should have stated

  in my comment, that its my own speculation that Rutherford expressed his own dishonesty regarding the actual purpose and function

  of the home. Just exactly how did they come up with 1925 as being the important year of this supposed return, the information that they

  provided to reach that year is quite vague and weak. There is little doubt that Rutherford had some rich and well to do friends, the very expensive

  Cadillacs given to him as gifts and so forth. Another idea that crossed my mind I wonder if those folks that gave the homes and quite a bit of land

  over to the WTS. ( Deed and all ) did so , so they wouldn't have to pay land tax on the property, since the land deed was converted to a religious

  organization. ( $0.00 pay out ) ? In any case lets confirm the fact that Rutherford was a crooked shyster, a smart and dubious con man that

  played the role well in his favor and made good with it. He stereo typifies many of the religious con men that are even in operation today.

  First the coercion, then the exploitation, then comes the power and then at the end of it all the money. Religion truly is a racket after all.

  Yeah the small pox stuff is really weird, I don't think they mentioned anything about the no organ transplant policy that was later reversed.

  I don't know if anyone knows or not if Rutherford billed or charged the WTS. for legal services while he was the acting President of the

  organization ? Since he was their head lawyer at one time.

  You can certainly bet though that the lavish lifestyle that he lived with purposely put under cover by himself and his fellow cronies,

  out of the eyes of the flock, especially around the great depression when most people were worried about when their next meal was

  coming from.

  I can do you one better than that! I don't know if you've seen this one before. I did it about 3 years ago.

  Yep, I saw that Farkel its a good one for sure.

  Quite a creepy SOB even in today's standards !

  He pulled the wool over peoples eyes in a very fashionable and discrete way, he may not quite match up to the modern religious

  crooks around now but he was certainly at the top of his game for his own time.

  The unseen god that this guy and many others like him bow down to of course is the Almighty dollar.
