Hello Kent,

This is FANTASTIC! This shows what they were really up to!

Just a reminder that Rutherford in his bid to control the organization after Russell's death clained it was Russell who put him up to manipulating the charter of the "People's Pulpit Association" to require ratification of board members by the chairman and if not voted in they could be kicked off the board or something like that.

The WTS now colors this as some "incidental" situation that allowed them to legally dismiss the "apostate" board members when problems arose with the "7th volume." But Rutherford himself claimed that it was Russell all along who put that clause into the charter so that in case of disagreements with the current editorial committee and board members, he could legally take control over the society.

So I wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of wheelings and dealings going on behind the scenes with the creative finance department of the Society. Mexico stands out as a glaring example of expediency by claiming they are a cultural organization, etc.

"All in the name of the lord."

And of course, the WTS doesn't publish its full holdings, investments, etc.

Thanks for this. This is pathetic. This is who they REALLY were. The WBTS soon became a "business" opportunity to hard to refuse, with unlimited potential.

Cheers,
Bibleman
