Questions & Answers For Everyone To Use As Desired

_________________________________________________________________________

Q: Who is the author of THE MAN FROM TENNESSEE?

A: It was written by the world famous anonymous author. He has no desire for fame. He once said, “Writing a published book was an honor within itself.”

Q: “The World Famous Anonymous Author” is a clever pen name. Are you, James Reesor, the person who thought of using it or was the book actually written by someone else?

A: Since the book is about my life experiences, a supernatural transition from sinner to prophet, people assume I wrote it. Obviously, I’m humbled by this controversial expose about my personal exploits, but there’s nothing more I can say. I honestly believe it would be wrong to publicly identify someone who prefers to remain anonymous.

Q: When did you become identified as the man from Tennessee?

A: I first heard myself described that way as a candidate for governor in Tennessee over thirty years ago. It wouldn’t be polite to repeat most names people have called me, especially on the Internet, but I’m also known as “One Crazy Man,” “The Flower Artist Prophet” and “Tennessee Elijah” – because of oil paintings I’ve done and messages that I’ve posted on
my web sites.

Q: Is it true that you are the son of a Church of God minister?

A: I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that it might incriminate me. I’m kidding, of course, but I learned long ago that being labeled a “preacher’s kid” is almost slanderous. My father is an ordained minister with the Church of God, located in Cleveland, Tennessee. Growing up as a straight-laced, Spirit-filled Pentecostal was not something I did very well. Rolling on floors when the Spirit hit or jumping over pews seemed undignified to me. My father, Dr. James B. Reesor is now living in Florida at the age of 92. He served as a pastor
of churches, president of a Canadian Bible College, missionary and evangelist. Several other members of my family, including Dr. Mervyn McCluhan and Dr. Robert Reesor, with their wives and children, have a long history in the Church of God. In fact, my cousin Darlia is married to Dr. Paul Conn – a respected educator who has had a distinguished career as president of Lee University.

Q: When looking at your web sites, I was surprised to learn that you have a trademark on the famous “MUSIC CITY USA” phrase. You also had a writing connection with the legendary Johnny Cash. Is there anything you can tell us about other experiences not found in the book?

A: Well, as you can imagine, there is much more to tell about my life than what is on my web sites or in “THE MAN FROM TENNESSEE.” If I’m still alive, before old age or boredom kills me, and if enough people like this little book with big ideas, my dream is to start work on a new, comprehensive, book project. I want a very large book written like a screenplay that
will be suitable for a G-rated movie. Hopefully, it will contain startling information about God, me – and many other people. There will be hundreds of photographs and art renderings depicting futuristic concepts in symbolic ways to teach children about Heaven and sinners about Hell. It would take about three hundred thousand dollars just to prepare the manuscript for a publisher.

Q: This “little book with big ideas” by the anonymous author might leave readers with more questions than answers. In your opinion, what part should people think
is the most important?

A: I can’t think of a more important question than the one you just asked. There is nothing
in the book about me that matters in the grand scheme of things. To let you understand how
I really feel about myself, I have often described myself as “living dirt” or as “dung upon
the ground.” Anything ever said about my birth, life or death as a human will always be meaningless in contrast to the birth, life and death of Lord Jesus Christ. If everything about my naked, drunk, thieving and rebellious past is erased from the pages of history, that would be my preference. My only purpose for wanting the book sold, internationally, is to draw public attention to “THE MESSAGE FROM GOD.” Also, I hope Christian leaders are motivated to start preaching and teaching the truth about the “Elijah Spirit” – and my
“Let The Earth Be Cursed” message.

Q: Do you believe the book could become a bestseller?

A: Yes, of course, I believe anything is possible! I understand the complexity of the publishing industry – how books are marketed and selected for various “bestseller” lists. Even though “THE MAN FROM TENNESSEE” is available everywhere books are sold, keeping track of actual sales will not be easy – considering the competitive nature existing between bookstores and online sellers. It’s my hope that one thousand Christians will buy
the book within ninety days – and then one million more will get it before the end of the year.

Q: How would those potential sales impact your personal lifestyle?

A: Since my family and I have been barely surviving in a borderline poverty zone most of our lives, selling a million books would make the payment of credit card debts possible – with about two or three million dollars left over after taxes. I would probably be able to trade my 1984 Monte Carlo for a newer used car so I could drive over a hundred miles without the radiator cap blowing off. Maybe I could start getting my clothes at Wal-Mart instead of Salvation Army outlets? Also, I’ve been wanting better computers, more web sites, a
fancy vibrating chair, a new Christian nation known as “AMERIJERICHO,” and a
private spaceship – so I can go on extended vacations to distant planets.

Quotations From The Author For Everyone

_________________________________________________________________________

“Ordinary people with ordinary ways of thinking will have fun trying to figure out what makes ‘the man from Tennessee’ so strange. He has the capacity to boggle minds beyond the normal limits of imagination.”

“Contempt for ‘the man’ is common among most atheists, agnostics, liars, lovers of insanity and carnally minded people who believe prophets are fodder for false accusations. Any person with preconceived ideas about ‘Truth’ are seldom inclined to accept messages from messengers who lack membership in their organizations. In spite of rejections, ‘Elijah alias James’ consistently made attempts to express love for idiots who expressed hatred for him.”

“People with open minds need to understand why the ‘supernatural visitation’ in a motel room helped to put ‘diminishing time’ and the reality of ‘reality’ into proper perspective. Readers who can read between the lines will probably be surprised to learn how the “Spirit of Elijah’ become a powerful force in the life of the man from Tennessee. His calls for ‘water, wind
and fire’ over the years has never been documented by the media.”

“The man with ‘Elijah’ as a screen name had his freedom of speech denied when being banned by AOL, MSN and AT&T – because of complaints from other members. Unfriendly ‘sexual perverts,’ ‘secular humanists’ and ‘radical liberals’ grew tired of his Christian commentaries. Enemies of Elijah became easily confused by his satirical reverse psychology during regular corrections of their distorted versions of facts. Another reason for the decline in popularity was his zealous support for Republican politicians like George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Duncan Hunter, Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson – his current choice for president. Fair-minded news hounds who believe in getting both sides of all stories always appreciate his countless comments about ‘Mister Billary Clinton’ and other ‘Demoncrats.’ Elijah alias James has more enemies than friends in blue states – thanks to his computer
and a new, secret ISP.”

“Christians who missed the first phase of the ‘rapture’ are shocked to learn it happened
at midnight of 19 March 2006. The ‘dead in Christ’ were taken with the ‘Elijah Spirit’ by a ‘thief in the night’ on ‘a day we will never forget.’ Even though it all happened exactly as prophetically promised, most carnally minded people hesitate to believe anything that has
not been seen, heard, touched, tasted or smelled. While those who are ‘alive in Christ’ await the call to join the others in the clouds, followers of Satan are being invited to repent of sins. Christians who are inclined to be doubters can satisfy their curiosity by reading the message found at – http://www.tennesseeelijah.com/July2007.html – .”

“When a self-described prophet is continuously mocked by false accusers, his messages inspired by God are never taken seriously. Even though ‘Elijah alias James’ predicted the New York towers tragedy, both elections of George W. Bush, the Gulf Coast ‘Katrina’ disaster, the wrath of God in the form of water, wind and fire – and has advised a ‘fatal
blow’ to solve Middle East threats to world peace, respect has alluded him. Publicity about him is focusing on human superficialities instead of substance. Invisible Spiritual forces undergirding his mission are seldom mentioned by the press. According to documentation found on his web site years ago: ‘There will never be a Palestinian state!’ Elijah alias James voted for George both times, but the ‘Roadmap’ to peace was a map to ‘disaster’ in his opinion. He believes that ‘July 2007' was the start of a ‘spiritual transition’ which will result
in evil ‘manifestations’ leading to Armageddon. ‘The Declaration of War’ message found in ‘THE MAN FROM TENNESSEE’ is a warning for serious scholars of the Bible who need reliable knowledge regarding current events. Only information from God can help people make sense out of irrational actions and statements made by world leaders.”

Quotations From Tennessee Elijah For Everyone

_________________________________________________________________________

“God is the Creator; Satan is the imitator!”

“Do not repeat history! There is no time to waste!”

“The rejection of Jehovah God and His prophets will lead to further calamities for humanity as future events unfold. If you are stupid enough to not believe in Jesus, now is the time to get smart! Living like the Devil is suicidal!”

“In spite of your expectations, you will understand why I have not come to masquerade as
an ordinary person. It is not in my heart to ‘pretend’ just to gain a friend.”

“If there is a lesson to be learned, it is this: Let’s not destroy the world in a misguided attempt to satisfy selfish ambitions. We all need to crawl before we walk, walk before we run, and run before we fly.”

“Without a drop of water, could there be an ocean? Without a baby born, could there be a nation? Without life and death, could there be an eternal heaven?”

“It is a humbling experience to know that God will respond to us personally if we avoid the temptation of taking credit for what He does in our life.”

“It is impossible for governments to separate politics from religion, church from the state, souls from bodies or God from reality; only the Light of Truth is strong enough to separate itself from deception found in darkness.”

“Fools teach each other how to devise systems of thought, speech and behavior that is diametrically opposed to universal reality.”

“When in doubt, remember that silence belongs to God. The answers to all questions come when we learn how to listen when He is speaking.”

“THE MAN FROM TENNESSEE” (ISBN 9781604774801) can be ordered at local bookstores and online at Target, Amazon and Xulon Press.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Man From Tennessee

Newspaper articles keep readers informed about current events. One event, probably a two on a scale of ten, is about a book that was recently published by Xulon Press.

The title, “The Man From Tennessee,” might make some people think the book is about Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash or maybe Roy Acuff. Surprisingly, it is about James Reesor, a resident of Nashville since 1962.

James is not famous, but he was a candidate for governor in Tennessee in 1974 when Ray Blanton was elected. Another urge to get into politics led him to become a candidate for mayor in Nashville when Bill Purcell was elected in 1999.

The book shows photos of James at different times in his life on the front cover and making a comical face on the back – when posing with his wife Melissa and son Harrison. The words above the photo – “Buy This Book! We Need Your Money!” – explains why publicity is needed.

“The Man From Tennessee” was written by “The World Famous Anonymous Author” – which many assume to be James Reesor himself.
The book is biographical with information about experiences and ideas
that made him unique. It can be ordered online or from local bookstores.

Most notably, readers will learn how James became the owner of the
“Music City USA” state trademark, why he has several web sites filled
with messages in the name of “Tennessee Elijah,” and why he is a radical, “right-wing Christian” who uses the acronym “JIGROP” as a message for “sinners.”

James hand-delivered “press release” information to reporters at several Tennessee newspapers recently – Bellevue, Nashville, Gallatin, Lebanon, Murfreesboro and Smyrna – asking them to do a book review. They failed
to cooperate.

As you can see, we decided to be kind. Knowing thousands of people
dream about writing a book someday, when one is published, we think it’s newsworthy – especially since James claimed to be “Elijah incarnate” for over thirty years, sending out messages from God for this “final generation.”
