Ecclesiastes 9:5 -"the dead know nothing at all"
by aqwsed12345 inthe narrator of the book of ecclesiastes had very little knowledge of many things that jesus and his apostles later preached.
the author does not make statements, but only wonders (thinks, observes, often raises questions, and leaves them open).
he looked at the world based on the law of moses and found nothing but vanity, as the earthly reward promised in the law did not always accompany good deeds and earthly punishment for evil deeds.

I agree that in the Russell and Rutherford eras there was little actual scriptural refutation. Fine! True ... But, if 'truth' pours out the the mouth of a disreputable man, is it ethical to note his behavior as part of one's refutation? I hope that sentence made sense. I'm thinking in general terms. Much of what is written about Russell and Rutherford's character is myth. And, of course, those reporting accusations should verify them first.
When mom was assisting uncle B write the first two Separate Identity books, she talked B into removing part of a footnote that reported the prison sentence of the author of an academic article. So the footnote only focuses on the man's sloppy research. What do you think?

I'm trying to solve a mystery for Uncle B. He owns three antique tracts that were bound into one volume for William Morris Wright, for six years a Society director. Two are easy to identify. The third is not. Its title is: "The Times of the Gentiles, and The Things Which Are." It's lacking a title page and no author is evident, but worldcat gives Caleb Jason Baker as its author.
I cannot connect Baker to Russell or to Wright in any fashion. Can you?
It might help to know that the other two tracts date to 1888 and 1894.
