<TITLE>06. Par 42-51</TITLE>L-42   If you had been with me last year, or year before last, I believe it was, at the World's Fair, when Yul Brynner and all of them was up there on demonstrations, and you see them take that cigarette, put it in something, and pull it across a piece of marble. And that doctor taking a swab, rolled across there and got the nicotine off of it, and put it on the back of a white rat, and put him in a cage. And every seven days they took him out. And the rat was so full of cancer he couldn't walk, from the nicotine out of one cigarette.

L-43 Then he said, "You know, they say that you can get it through a filter." He said, "You cannot have a filter... Any filter that would take nicotine out, takes the smoke out," said, "because you have to have smoke... have tar to make the smoke, and it's the tar that gives the cancer."

L-44 And then he went, pulled it through water, and said, "Sometimes you think you could filter it through." Said, "Every time, that, no matter where you pull it." Said, "They say, 'I don't inhale it,' then put it in their mouth and spit it out." Then he took that and rolled it up, and put it under something there, and showed it was still cancer. What are you doing? Swallowing it right down your throat. See? And no matter what you do, it's still death. See?

L-45   And then to think that a company would deceive a man enough, or try to deceive their own people. It's like a vulture living off of their, its own kind. Money-making, selling death to the--the country, and to young men. And go out there on the battle front and die for them, then turn around and sell such a thing as that, under a false pretense, "A thinking man's filter, but a smoking man's taste." You'd have to have the smoke to get the taste. See? "A smoking man's taste"?

L-46 How the people fall for it, though! They get it. Now, it's only to deceive you more. See, it's of the devil. They don't care for your life. They ain't got no feeling for you. They sell you that stuff just to watch you die, as long as they get money.

L-47   Like politics and war. I don't believe in war. I don't believe that we all ever should have ever had a war.
I believe in the great Kingdom that God is bringing, the great civilization that'll be brought down under His Own great dominion; there will never be another war. Nation won't lift up spears against nations. They'll all be peace, Eternal peace.

L-48 So this kind of a civilization brings war. And more civilized we get, under this, the more war we have. One trying to be more civilized than the other, and the more civilized makes more war. See?

L-49 And look what, under this civilization, that a person would put out such a thing as that. And the only thing it does, it only deceives you to make you buy more cigarettes. For if a man smokes cigarettes... And I believe it is of the devil, and there's a nicotine devil in a man and, or a woman. And if one cigarette will satisfy that nicotine devil till he'll leave you alone and quit haunting you, with one cigarette. And then you take a filter, just lets one-third of that smoke through there then, or one-third of that nicotine through there, then it'll take three cigarettes to take the place of that one, and you'll smoke three to one.

L-50 See, it's only a--a scheme, a deceit, a scheme to try to sell cigarettes. They can sell more that way than they can by just letting a man smoke the straight tobacco in his pipe or in his cigarette. Now, see, it's of the devil.

L-51   As I stood there looking at it, and thinking of how deceitful it was, the question came to me. And I stooped back, looked at the pack again, and I... just seemed like something said to me, "But the slogan is all right, 'a thinking man's filter, a smoking man's taste.'" It came to me that that deceitfulness, also, in the natural realm there in the tobacco, is something on a order of the churches of today, see, a deceitfulness.
