    A character in the Tom Robbins book Jitterbug Perfume recommends the air bath thing for life extension, if not immortality. I wonder if he modeled Dr. Morgenstern and his Institute for Immortality after Rutherford and Beth Sarim.

    Oh my God! I was taking an air bath and I had to change the air it was so filthy. (Been working outside alot lately and there's lots of dust)

    "Air baths are good for preventing colds. What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for awhile."
    GA 2/10/1926 p.310

    This visual of Rutherford performing an "air bath" will give me nightmares for months....

    The comments in the GA and Consolation are most likely the direct statements of Clayton Woodworth (with Rutherford's approval though).

    larc posted this about "Rutherford as a Bible scholar.".

    Does anyone have a copy of the Vindication book, volume 1?

    We need to get a scan of this up on the web.

    "During Rutherford's administration, he was referred to as "the world's foremost Bible scholar. (1) This remarkable, if true, since he had no formal education on the subject."

    Reference: (1). Vindication I, 1931, advertisement.

    Are you sure those are not "great quotes" from "Dr. Gene Scott"?

    "If you spend 15 minutes reading each of Rutherfords books you would get more pleasure than you would reading the Bible for a whole year"

    More and more it appears that the focus of this religion back during the 1930's was the promotion of "Judge" Rutherford's books!

    What was the appeal of this guy? I am still trying to figure that out for people did look up to him. And, although they would not admit it, they worshipped him as a royal one, a modern day King David.

    Did they really think the God of the universe was speaking through Rutherford? Did Rutherford believe that as well?
