Human footprints seven feet long found in California. They were the “giants” mentioned in Genesis chapter six they said. [32] ``` "Air baths" are good for preventing colds. What you do is strip naked mornings and evenings and then bob up and down for awhile. [33] The current agitation over birth control is evidence that the "New Age" is at hand. [34] The white rulers of Britain have superior mental and moral abilities. Blacks however, are gaining ground. [35] God wears clothes. [36] The Flood may have been caused by all of the other planets being on one side of the earth at the same time. God may have inserted the "youngest" planet Neptune they said on the other side of earth to act as a gravitational corrective to make sure it doesn't happen again! [37] In the future man will get his food directly from the sun. [38] In the New World Abraham may be the ruler of New York City. Isaac may rule over Chicago and: "Perhaps Jacob will be put in London. His father-in-law, Laban, was a diplomat,..." [39] "Shortly we believe, Abraham will come forth from the grave..." [40] Spaniards "and other backward races" under the influence of Rome they said came to settle in America.[41] ``` ---

When I first read the OP, I got J. F. Rutherford mixed up with Ernest Rutherford, and got really confused, because the latter really should know better. ---
