Russell and Rutherford were good business men. Excellent cult leaders as well.
Old boy Russel came over to Canada (Hamilton, Ontario to be exact) in 1912-1913 to try to sue J.J. Ross for libel...., it didn't go exactly as planned for him though, and he ended up commiting perjury.
As the Bible says, "Know thy con man".
Wow! That's a very obscure fact you've uncovered there. I appreciate it. I'm definitely going to do some research on it. Can I ask how you know this?
This is out of a book I think you'll appreciate. It's titled "The kingdom of the cults" by Walter Martin. You can probably find a copy in a lot of used book shops.
Walter Martin rings a bell for me...it's been a long time since I did any research on cults. Cracks in the Walls of the Watchtower is a book I finished writing probably a decade or more ago. I must have come across WM during my research. Thanks again!
