As for famines on a massive scale in China and Russia they were quite frequent in the past what happened there after 1914 was nothing unusual or novel eg in China during the great famines of 1810 1811, 1846, and 1849 a total of 45 million persons perished. So the fact that 3 million died in China of famine in 1929 is nothing unusual contrary to WTS propaganda.

... because the size of the great pyramid proved* that it must be true.

it's like spelling boobless upside-down on your calculator... you can work your way backwards, you can make up a bunch of random numbers that eventually give it to you, or you can just spell it: 55378008.
