What a joke. Now I was doing stuff during part of the time it was on while watching at the same time. My son borrowed it from our twin jw girls. But there was No mention that Russel was married or that Rutherford was married (and didn't live with their wives). No mention of the Egyptian pyramid having anything to do with Russel and his prophecies, though they showed pics of him in Egypt when discussing his world travels and how he was able to "observe millions of people." What? Anyway, at this point, I paid close attention to the part of Rutherford's takeover and it simply said Rutherford was appointed head, or president, whatever, two months after Russels' death. That was it on that. They did say there was some discension after his appointment because he was not like Russel, he was bursque in his manner, he didn't let anyone intimidate him, and people were serving the creation (Russel) rather than the creator. The DVD started out talking about the six thousand year history of jws, of course going back to the garden of eden story. The only predicted date they told of was 1914 that I picked up, not any earlier unfulfilled ones. Of course, it was amazing Russel picked that date 40 years before WWI. The story was told so slowly it was as if they were talking to kindergartners. Gb members, not sure if it included all of them, had parts where they made statements, even Jaracz was on it.
Either they didnt' get that far yet, or if they did, there was no mention of the mansions Rutherford had built in Calif. There was a LOT on persecution, graphic pics of first century Christians being tortured, and lots on the imprisonment of the gb in the early 1900's. As each mug shot was shown of each one, a loud gavel would sound. It stopped just after covering the conventions just after they were let out, you know, the famous Advertise convention. They name dropped as much as they could, apparently Isaac Newton was a jw, among others whom I forget, because they argued the trinity or immortality of the soul or whatever. lol And president (I forget now who it was at the time) anyway, the PRESIDENT of the country signed their release from prison.
There was no talk about how 1914 was "the generation" that would not pass away. Not one mention of it. Just that Jesus took to the throne then so they needed to warn others because we are in the time of the end, but very little on the time was mentioned and no mention what-so-ever of any generation. Looks like they want everybody to forget that scripture! lol But there was lots of pushing persecution and the need to preach. Can't wait to see all the graphic persecution pics from WWII, Malawi and others in their next DVD to follow.
Edit: Oh, they also really went overboard on how they were the first, with the photodrama of creation, to combine motion pciture with sound, and how it wasn't done commercially for ten more years after they did it. What's that got to do with scripture?! Brag brag brag. Can't wait to see how they came up with computer inventions and/or software and their bragging on that stuff, remember the MEPS or whatever that they took up entire pages of the kingdom ministry!
