Rutherford lies to cement his complete control over Watchtower

Find out how Joseph Rutherford illegally took complete control over the Watchtower organization in 1917. Once he became the President he then also becomes the Faithful Slave, leader of the Bible Students who became known as Jehovah's Witnesses under his presidency

Once Joseph Rutherford became the President of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society he completely changed things. From how the business was ran to the many doctrinal changes Jehovah's Witnesses now believe as Bible truths from God.

I hope you enjoy the video.

I was born and raised as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. My parents met while serving under Nathan Knorr in the late 50's through the mid 60's. They knew four of the seven people that were in prison with Rutherford in 1918. But the history they were told had been whitewashed. That's the history I grew up listening to. Maybe that's the reason I'm so fascinated in the real history of the organization and Jehovah's Witnesses. Because it's so different from the organizations white washed version.
