This film footage was recorded sometime in the late 1930s. It shows the Beth-Sarim ("House of Princes") mansion and grounds with Watchtower Society president Joseph Rutherford walking around and interacting with the environment. It also shows the building of the nearby and little-known Beth-Shan ("House of Security") property. Beth-Shan was rarely talked about, and for good reason. It had a bomb shelter, thousands of gallons water and diesel fuel tanks, etc.
Some have felt that Rutherford is "too happy" in several scenes, where he kisses fruit, twice sticks out his tongue, and appears to be in a very uninhibited frame of mind.
The footage speaks for itself. Each will judge "The Judge" by their own standards. The footage is grainy but is surprisingly well preserved. Some links that give more information on Beth Sarim and Rutherford are below:
