Do you know who the hair and bones are.....?
I have the talk on cassette tape and believe it
is a copy of the records that were used.
Till this day, I still have to sit back and laugh when
I listen to it.

Yep! Why would a young man tie himself to a sister when the
lord's work was at hand....... I always wonder how the
sisters took it back then.

Children of the Kingdom 1941
Dead give-away. Not untill about 1945 did F.Franz begin writing. This was the work of a beligerant alcoholic. In 1941 most sisters already were thought of as a slave for man.....it didn't phase them back then as it would now. Marriage was discouraged and so was having babies.....and the sisters complied! I think were da judge to speak this way today........many sisters would tell the drunk bastard to piss off!

I CAN RECALL MY MOTHER TELLING OTHERS OF THE DRUNKEN LAWYER, SAYING THIS.
SHE LAUGHED AT THIS AND THOUGHT IT WAS AMUSING. AS A SIX YEAR OLD BOY, I FELT A TOUCH OF ANGER THAT HE WOULD SAY THIS. I FELT HE WAS SAYING THIS ABOUT MY MOM.
YET MY MOM TOOK IT AS TRUTH AND WAS NOT DISTURBED IN THE LEAST. SHE TOLD ME IN SO MANY WORDS, THAT HE WAS SPECIAL AND SHE BELIEVED AND ACCEPTED WHAT EVER HE HAD TO SAY.
I THINK THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF MY INDOCTRINATION INTO THE CULT.
ALSO THE START OF MY COGNITIVE DISSONANCE AND MY SUBTLE ANGER THAT GREW SLOWLY OVER THE YEARS. AS I FORCED MY MIND TO ACCEPT THIS CRAP AS BEING GODS WORD.
WHAT A MESS.

PS--- IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECTLY, THIS WAS AT THE SAME ASSEMBLY WHERE I WALKED DOWN FROM OUR SEATS AND WAS HANDED A FREE COPY OF THE "CHILDRENS" BOOK.
COULD BE WRONG. IT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.
