How can you weak insecure JW people, follow the corruptive scriptures & hoax theories from a devious occult icon like Charles Taze Russel, a shrewd businessman who appeared eager to collect funds from the selling of the "Millennial Dawn" books, cheated one of them out of financial gains, and issued thousands of Millennial Dawn books under a female pseudonym.
a rogue profiter of 'Miracle Wheat', deceived & defrauded many by selling this supposedly advanced strain of wheat for $60 a bushel, far above the average cost of wheat for the day. Throughout 1912 and 1913 the Eagle continued to report on this alleged fraud on Russell's part. Russell sued the Eagle for libel, but lost. A Government expert investigated the "Miracle Wheat" and said it "was low in the Government tests". Prior to entering the court the Eagle had published "The Eagle goes even further and declares that at the trial it will show that "Pastor" Russell's religious cult is nothing more than a money-making scheme. It is utter stupidity & lack of sensible intellect that a large minority within the JW cult still Believe this nonsense...

The video was kinda cool. Nothing new, but presented in a fun, let's-watch-a-film-strip sort of format. If I'm not mistaken, it closes with a closeup of Ray Franz, standing along with other governing body members.
Some of the video was staged and some appeared to be period, so I wasn't able to tell the difference, which was unfortunate. A small "file footage" note or something like that would have been helpful, when real period footage was being shown.
So yeah, we're the wrong audience for it, but it was worth watching.
