the late Frederick W. Franz + the greatest Bible scholar ever lived. scholar
But I thought the WTS taught that it was the F&DS that "provided spiritual food at the right time"? This doesn't sit well with the R&F depending on "the greatest scholar who ever lived" feeding them.
Fred franz is in the same class w l ron hubbard, reverend sun moon, herbert w armstrong, carl marx, and other wingnuts. Except for moon who will join them later, they all inhabit the same tartarus.
hilary step I wish to add another name to my list: the late Frederick W. Franz + the greatest Bible scholar ever lived. scholar
lol...Well, at least you have a sense of humor. Fred Franz, the Marquis De Sade in bedroom slippers was indeed an gifted amateur Bible scholar in an autistic sort of way. His problem is that his work lacked the accuracy, veracity and weight that may have developed if it had been presented for criticism to the professional scholars that you so much espouse.
For example, I am sure they would have found great use for the book 'Baylon The Great Has Fallen' abandoned even by its own creator due to its theological insanity. It might have served as a model for generations of Bible scholars in Universities around the world as a prime example that just thinking you are right about a subject, does not necessarily make you right!
I put Frederick Franz more in the Father Divine league than the Madame Cecilia.
"scholar's" remarks about the dear, departed Freddie McReady are on a par with his remarks in another thread that real scholars don't give full source references.
