I hope you will pay respect to Jehovah's anointed President of the Watchtower Society and not mock him when you read this.
After all, Jehovah was speaking THROUGH Rutherford to make certain Food (for thought) came at the proper time!
As the Director of the Watchtower important insight was granted him of enormous importance.
It would have been blasphemous of Rutherford to misuse what was entrusted to him by Jehovah if he were to impose his
own quirks and prejudices on others and pass them off as "revealed" truth or New Light.
Are we agreed?
Fine. Now read this quotation from Rutherford's book VINDICATION.
"The so-called 'Mother's Day' was observed in America first in 1914, the very year that Satan's world ended and when he knew his time was short to get ready for the great battle of Armageddon. To induce the people to bestow special honor and worship upon mothers would be one step towards turning the people away from the worship of God, andthis is one of his means of preparing for Armageddon... On the face of it the arrangement of 'Mother's Day' seems harmless and calculated to do good. But the people are in ignorance of Satan's subtle hand in the matter, and that he is back of the movement, to turn the people away from God. The slogan is, 'The best mother who ever lived,' the purpose being to establish creature worship, or at least to divert the attention of man from the proper worship of God." (Vindication, Volume I, pp. 188-189)
HE WARNED ABOUT THE EVILS OF MOTHER'S DAY!!
Where else on earth could you get wisdom like this?
