The list above are people that were sentenced for wartime espionage. The outcome was death! Another indicator how divine intervention played a key role in Rutherford’s and the board of director’s behalf.

This just proves you exult yourself for KNOWING NOTHING!

It's better you play with your chickens and leave the law to people that really understand it, and not guess just to look good before your apostate friends and for not having the capability to be honest with your failures just like ?Winsider.

There is so much flawed reasoning in your post above that I am glad it's self evident, and I don't have to debunk it .. that's a LOT of work. For someone with agenda driven comprehension. It would be a waste.

Like singing to a pig. The only thing it would accomplish is wear out my voice, and irritate the pig.

The discussion is about SEDITION.

You write detailed essays on espionage!

Not the same, Tonto.

If Divine Intervention played a part in Rutherford getting released, was it also Divine Intervention that he died a miserable, embarrassing, slow , and painful death from anus/rectal  cancer?

It is my understanding that everybody at Bethel hated him, and that at his funeral, only two Bethelites showed up, one of them being Nathan H. Knoor. (Divine Intervention?)

Were the many Bethelites guided by Holy Spirit to shun him at his own funeral?

Since you are so gullible, I will invite you to invest in JTR's FDIC-hahahahaha   insured left pocket hedge fund with every cent you have or can borrow.  No need to even give me your real name and address .... I TRUST you!

Perhaps your Mommy will advance your allowance!

Your reward will be in Heaven, as with the accumulated interest, you can pay for your sins with the currency of the imagination. I would not want to sully your conscience with anything else.

The worst penalty is for Watchtower Lawyers, and their ilk, .

  "In God We Trust", but THEY have to pay cash.

JTR

The daily real threat of bayonets will dramatically alter most people's perceptions of right and wrong.

Get bayoneted .... or wrap your mind into a pretzel.

Decisions, decisions .....

There is nothing that warms the cackles of my heart more than contemplating a well hydrated chicken.

If they are referred to as being chicken ... they have a good excuse!

Results vary ....

I have found that inspiration  often comes after a long day, and you realize that everywhere you have been sitting, it has always felt like underwear.

Anna:

I see what you posted as after the fact spin.

.... a little souvenir from the early 1970's I keep as a memento of interesting times ... and to surreptitiously quick  flash when I show a traffic officer my drivers license.

The gold flash has gotten me out of seven speeding tickets, and I never asked for any consideration, and never gave any explanation.

My eldest son was stunned when I got stopped in a 35mph zone doing 57 miles per hour.. When we pulled off without a ticket he said "I gotta get me one of those!".

By the way ... the little red thingies are Chicken Nipples.  They sell them on Amazon.

.... really!

No one has gotten the Watchtower history right, yet! Therefore, the only one thinking the watchtower broke the law in wartime is you James.

That's because I am the only one that got the history right!

I am freaking AWESOME!

Good Detectives detect much.

With the same facts, bad Detectives detect nothing.

...  you have my condolences.

I use Windows 7 Professional as my preferred system, and I have two Windows 10 Desktops, one my wife uses.  The other is not used at all.

I have configured it to look and act like Windows XP, and never wonder what I am missing.

I have four 7 port USB hubs daisy chained together supporting various hardware, and three monitors going at the same time, and can have six if I want them.

I never have any viruses, and it runs about 35 software programs of every sort.

Why would I need Windows 10?.

They wouldn't have been acquitted of all charges had they been guilty.

If they were not guilty of sedition ... then why did they later remove seditious elements from the Society's publications.?

Hmmmmmm ?

**********************************

I suppose it all comes down to the issue of credibility of the one doing the analysis of unseen, invisible things that happened a hundred years ago.

How many times has the WTB&TS been right?,  and

How many times has the WTB&TS been wrong?

I don't care if it was encouraged by Mickey Mouse from the future!

If it is the death penalty to park your car in a handicapped parking space, and you DO park your car in a handicapped parking space ... it does not matter WHO made or influenced the laws.

You have committed a capital crime.

You are GUILTY of a capital crime!

.... and it is lawful to execute you.

The fact that the law is changed at a later date IS A WHOLE OTHER SUBJECT!

The case was "dismissed" for unknown reasons.

I rest my case.

What you have referenced, BTK46, is post war spin generated to get back to normalcy.

The FACTS were that they were encouraging Christian values ....  which to a nation involved in a global war for survival ... true Christian values ARE SEDITION.

The rules change as a practical matter when a million men die in a year long battle, and Europe looks like the craters on the face of the Moon.

The Society WAS guilty of sedition, in encouraging men to uphold Christian Values, and NOT WAR, at a time when the Republic faced destruction at the hands of the Germans.

...and that's the fact, Jack.

Here’s the thing James. It’s not my inability to communicate much more than telling you directly that we are not friends and never will be. That’s the most honest communication I can give .....

May I console you by saying I will not lose any sleep over that ...

I challenged you MANY times to point out where JUST ONE thing I have ever said on this forum was a lie  ... and of over seven years and perhaps 9,000 or so comments I have made on every imaginable subject ... you ALWAYS choked and never provided not even ONE single example.

NOT ONE!

I may be occasionally wrong ... but I do not lie.

You are really at war with yourself, Billy.

I sincerely hope you win!

..... wait for it ...

.... wait for it.....

Yes, I do have Asperger's Syndrome .... I guess you are just nuts.

Do you have Asperger's Syndrome?

That's the difference. Therefore, your bluster is meaningless! Deary! 🤗

I have not seen as much projection since the movie industry invented CinemaScope !

Therefore, the present watchtower GB should they be imprisoned for the filthy lies you people put out, it will be no different when that disgusting Catholic Church put Rutherford and the board directors behind bars for sedition. A whopping lie if ever I saw one.

That is so ludicrous I don't even know where to start.

The reason the Brothers were imprisoned for sedition, etc ... IS THAT THEY WERE GUILTY !

They were not let out of prison early because of some imaginary vindication ... they were let out because the "Great War" was over.

Therefore, no Elder needed to destroy you James, you did that all on your own! 🤗

I forgot to mention, that when he said he was going to destroy me, I first replied that he was welcome to try, and then etc.

Willy-Nilly, he abandoned the Truth about three years after that, and I am still here 45 years later.

As the Admin pointed out ... by the time I had entered this thread, the Admin had REMOVED THE REFERENCE.

Therefore, you were reacting to what you saw ... and I was reacting to what I saw.

I personally do not even take threats, real or just bluster, too seriously.

I had a very wealthy Elder once call me up, and he said he was going to destroy me.

I nonchalantly replied that he knew where I lived, and I would meet him in the street, in front of where I was staying,  anytime, and we would shoot it out.

I never saw or heard from him again.

... and I do quite often TRY to act like  a three year old little girl ... they are so happy and full of life, and wonder !  

Very, very inspirational!

The best I can manage is a 24/7/365 sense of humor.

I seriously doubt the Governing Body has anything to fear from John Butler, he has no firearms .... whereas YOU, on the other hand, have claimed to own a small arsenal, and a 50 caliber BMG sniper rifle capable of shooting about a mile and a half, accurately, and 4.5 miles total, and I would not be surprised if that foam on your mouth. is NOT shaving cream.

You may be familiar with the fact that it takes 25 MAN YEARS of witnessing to bring ONE newly interested  person into the Truth, who will stay his or her whole lifetime.

25 YEARS!

for ONE person!

What's wrong with THAT picture?

.... there is a very real answer, and it is NOT pretty.

Well, BTK46, I personally do not think we have much to fear from external enemies .... if we are doing things  that are correct ... they have no case at all . 

All sane, reasonable people know this.

The fact of the matter is this ... day by day, in the eyes of the World, Jehovah's Witnesses are losing what credibility we USED to have, with general nuttiness .... and the Governing Body, in it's self aggrandizing attempts at damage control, are day by day, losing THEIR credibility, except with the slowest, the dull, and the trusting.

They are their OWN worst enemy.

With all the real good that they do in directing the preaching of the Good News, the drivel that they add chases just as many people away, as the Truth attracts.

When you have the TRUTH ... we would not have to knock on THEIR doors ... they would be knocking on OUR doors.

The general impression is that we dress well, are fine people, but are bat-crap crazy.

I may have missed something BTK46, but I do not see where in this particular thread, as shown above, where John Butler threatened ANYBODY.

Please correct me with a quote, as you apparently see something that is NOT THERE.

No surprise at that .....

It's either you, or me that is wrong about this, and historically, it's always been you.

If I say the Governing Body is it's own worst enemy, because they keep shooting themselves in the foot and systematically destroying their credibility, day by day, that is NOT a threat.

.... merely a figurative  observation.
