It has always been a business: Miracle Wheat Investigation highlights WT Finances in 1911
by ILoveTTATT2 ini am still not done with the miracle wheat article... there's just so much information to process!
i already did the summary, and the new information that i have doesn't change my conclusion: the entire scandal happened because russell was very gullible and didn't check with government agencies to see if the wheat was legitimate or not.
he went into a business venture on which he knew nothing about.here's some interesting stats about the finances of the watchtower back in 1911:it received, from the sale of books and donations, $150,000.

Russell's Gullibility and Ignorance Regarding Wheat
by ILoveTTATT2 inanother tidbit from my article on miracle wheat.. for those who don't know what this is about, charles taze russell started selling some wheat in the watchtower publications and supposedly this wheat produced "miraculous" amounts of wheat, hence the name "miracle wheat".. the first picture shows alaska "miracle" wheat.
(the "miracle wheat" that russell promoted was a different kind, later named "stoner / miracle wheat").
as you can see, it is much different than regular wheat.

Are you an agronomist or a farmer? If so, I need your help. Related to Miracle Wheat
by ILoveTTATT2 ini am doing some investigation on the miracle wheat episode, and i have a question that i don't know the answer to, and i can't find the answer online.. it seems that, from what i have learnt online, that wheat is a self-pollinating, "perfect flower".
this means that once there is a strain that has a quality that's desirable, all you have to do is plant it, and that feature will remain "forever".
essentially the new plants are all clones.given that information, this statement by penton does not make sense:.
