At Watchtower’s 1928 annual convention Clayton Woodworth told listeners that folks want a leader, so he sold them Joseph Rutherford as a leader. He encouraged those listeners to do the same thing he was doing.[1]
At Watchtower’s 1928 annual convention Clayton Woodworth told listeners that folks want a leader, so he sold them Joseph Rutherford as a leader. He encouraged those listeners to do the same thing he was doing.[1]
Yet, according to Watchtower, Woodworth did not actually believe what he was selling. Watchtower says Rutherford was not their leader and Witnesses knew this.[2]
Clayton Woodworth was a key figure within the Watchtower organization. He was willing to be dishonest and to encourage that others do the same.[3]
