The question to C. T. Russell still is:— Why do you, personally, find the suggestion that Bethel service is “Voluntary” to be a little offensive?
The Almighty Homer's characterization of Russell as "a true scam artist" seems a bit rich, since none of us actually knew the man personally. If there are 6.770 billion people on the earth today, and only 0.007 billion people on the earth today are approved for the New System, then it follows that there are 6.763 billion claims yet to be approved.
