Joe Prison Interview

[Sheep]

A brother sent me this interesting YouTube link:

 

“Listen to our dear Brother Joe Scibetta as he describes in great detail how members from the Governing Body, including Brother Joseph Rutherford, were imprisoned in Atlanta for their neutrality while still leaving their mark on our Theocratic History.”

Thank you brother Eric for sharing that encouraging and enlightening video on our brothers who were imprisoned

in the Atlanta Federal Prison from 1918 - 1919. And like this brother points out, while it only proved to be nine

months, it was mean to be their tomb, which if the 80 year sentences had been carried out, it surely would have

been. No wonder the brothers applied to themselves the words of Isa. 12:1, 2 which says: " I thank you O Jehovah.

For although you were angry with me. Your anger gradually subsided and you comforted me. Look ! God is my

salvation. I will trust and feel no dread. For Jah, Jehovah is my strength and my might. And he has become my

salvation. "

   I also appreciated his comment that after they came out Old Babylon was no beloved lady to them. It calls to

mind something Bro. Rutherford told Bro. MacMillan while they were in prison. " If I ever by God's grace get out of

this place, I'm going to take the sword of the spirit and use it to wear out  Babylon. She got us in here, but we

we'll get out ! "

What a moving and inspiring interview. Thanks for linking that video. I'm going to show it to my wife when she gets home.

This was very refreshing. Reminds me of the 1975 Yearbook points. ☺

It is Sunday, January 5, 1919. J. F. Rutherford raps on Brother Macmillan's cell wall and says: "Poke your hand out." At that, he hands Macmillan a telegram. Its message? Rutherford has been reelected president. Later that day Brother Rutherford said to A. H. Macmillan: "I want to tell you something. You made a remark yesterday that is working in my mind about our being put in Brother Russell's place and we would have influenced the election if we had been in Pittsburgh and the Lord would not have had the chance to show whom he wanted. Why, brother, if I ever get out of here, by God's grace I'll crush all this business of creature worship. What's more, I'll take the dagger of truth, and I'll rip the innards out of old Babylon. They got us in here, but we'll get out." Rutherford meant it. From the time of his release down to his death in early 1942, he carried out that promise by exposing the wickedness of false religion.

Good question. Unfortunately I don't have a good answer. The only information I have on it is from the YouTube video page.

I am very glad the brother disabled the comments. Could not imagine what garbage people would post.
