  Books from the 1950s on are not that hard to find. The Truth book has to be one of the easiest, since they printed a bazillion copies.

  Speaking of old WT books, as I look through my stock I've got 3 that aren't really suitable for sale (dirt, markings, damage, etc.). If anyone wants one for the information inside rather than appearance, I'd be willing to send it on via Media Mail for free. They are:

  Make Sure of All Things (1953)

  Life Does Have a Purpose (1977)

  God's "Eternal Purpose" Now Triumphing for Man's Good (1974) -- As an aside, this one looks as if they mashed a 284 page book into a 192 page format. The print gets a lot smaller after page 47 in mid-chapter!

  First come, first served.

  magazine.

  i was sorting through some magazines, and was struck by this cover pic which looks a lot like him:.

  Remember: the most recent of Cano shows him when he's had a particularly difficult day.

  This is also a 2003 issue, and who knows how much earlier the picture was taken?

  I was actually surprised that he was in his early 50s, because to me his Bethel ID picture made him look younger.

  May or may not be him ... Very similar in appearance, though!

  North Carolina Eastern-Style Pulled-Pork Barbecue

  Enough soaked (in water!) hickory chips to replenish a smoker box over 8 hours

  6 to 10 lb. pork shoulder

  Fill a smoker box or aluminum pan with wood chips. Heat the grill till the chips begin to smoke. If it's a gas grill, turn the heat to "low." Roast the shoulder at this low heat, replenishing the wood chips as they burn up, until the meat is falling off the bone.

  Cool the roast until you are able to pull the meat from the bone. Chop the larger pieces with a cleaver or other sharp knife.

  Serve on a sandwich bun with a NC-style barbecue "sauce":

  • 1 cup plain vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 drops of lemon juice

  (Courtesy of http://hkentcraig.com/BBQrecipes1.html)

  Traditional side dishes include hush puppies, greens (collard, kale, mustard), green beans, coleslaw, and Brunswick stew (recipes for hush puppies and Brunswick stew on the same web page listed above).

  Okay; I've gone back and looked at what I have read several years back, and realized that nothing states that Maria Russell ever recanted. Penton claims that the "jellyfish" testimony was disallowed, and makes the same faulty inference that the WT does: Maria didn't accuse him of *adultery*, therefore nothing bad really happened and she was just being vicious.

  Reading the court transcript for the first time, I was struck by the fact that Rose Ball was the one who provided Maria with the "jellyfish" statement, and that she wrote it out so that Maria would be able to quote it verbatim! I would assume that such a statement constituted "hearsay," which would explain it being disallowed. But -- a letter in the girl's own handwriting would have been invaluable. What happened to it? Was it entered into evidence at all?

  I cannot believe that Jim Penton, and Alan Rogerson (Millions Now Living Will Never Die), and a few other authors could read these statements (did they???) and come to the conclusion that M. Russell was just trying to get back at C. T.! They seem to think that because he was so immersed in "religious matters" that he wouldn't be interested in sex. Um, Jimmy Swaggart, anyone?

  The fact that Rose was providing aid to Mrs. Russell shows that Rose wasn't at all comfortable with C. T. Russell's attentions. I think the poor girl was as glad as anyone to get away from Mr. Russell in the end, even if she was initially flattered by his notice of her.

  Urgh.

  What makes you think she recanted her testimony?

  Aw, now I have to go and look up the section of Apocalypse Delayed where I think Penton claims that she later said that the "jellyfish" comment wasn't real ... Or maybe it was someone else's book, perhaps even one of the WT's books. I thought it was Penton, though. I'll get back to you on it.

  I understand that M. James Penton didn't put a lot of credence in this story. I wonder why not? It seems pretty straightforward. The details Maria gives all seem plausible; C. T.'s reactions are precisely what a guilty man's might be -- denial and bluster. Is there more later on in the transcript that would discredit her testimony? If she recanted later on, was it under duress? Just curious.
