Hi friends,
I recently took a glance at the commentarypress.com website in search of the fourth edition of Crisis of Conscience, and there on the list of available publications was an offer a casette tape of Fred Freaz's infamous Gilead Graduation discourse in which he convincingly refutes the notion of a cenytralized Governing Body based in Jerusalem... a fascinating historical document from the Society's chief oracle!
JW insiders know that both Freddie and Knorr (at the time weakened by cancer) surrendered their primacy with great reluctance and no small amount of bitterness. This tape reveals the reason for their opposition. Listen to this talk, and you'll understand why that, in contrast with the usual policy of transcribing keynote addresses from the Vice President into Watchtower study articles, this one was ``deep-sixed," i.e. buried where the sun doesn't shine! A treasure for less than $5!
