True or False: "Judge" Joseph Rutherford was who coined the slogan " Millions now living will never die."

Question

And what he meant by that statement was that some people alive in 1914 would still be alive when Armageddon came and the world was resotred to a paradise state.

( The question is not if he was a judge, because he was not a real judge, but took this tittle as an attorney, he substituted at least once for an absent judge )

Answer 1

True.

This same dude who had claimed for years to know the Greek language would eventually admit in open court he didn't know anything about the Greek language.

Proving that the entire JW religion is based on lies.

Answer 2

Contributing to disciple-making work in those days was a new preaching activity—the “Millions Campaign.” It featured distribution of the 128-page book Millions Now Living Will Never Die, placed with the people on a contribution of 25c a copy. The book was used in conjunction with a public-speaking program that began on September 25, 1920, and that centered around a lecture (originally entitled “The World Has Ended—Millions Now Living May Never Die”) given by J. F. Rutherford in Los Angeles on February 24, 1918, and published in the new book in 1920.

In retrospect, Lester L. Roper says: “Then came my time for a public talk on the subject ‘Lift Up a Standard for the People, Millions Now Living That Will Never Die.’ I was accustomed to dealing with the public, but that was different. I felt the floor would come up and hit me in the face any time. And I guess it did take intestinal fortitude, as then we had only a very small number in the truth in all the world—and to tell them ‘Millions now living would never die’!”

Millions Now Living Will Never Die eventually was translated and published in various languages. Unlike the “pastoral work,” which had consisted of lending books to the people, copies of the “Millions” book were placed with them on a contribution, and interested persons could later obtain volumes of Studies in the Scriptures. The “Millions Campaign” lasted for some time, and a great witness was given by this means. Newspaper notices and billboards with the words “Millions Now Living Will Never Die” were used to bring it to public attention. So extensive was the campaign that the slogan has been remembered through the years.

Answer 3

Yes, I am sure he did make such a statement. The JW's leaders have had a sordid history of false predictions. Why it doesn't turn folks away is more than I can figure out.
