Im with Doom - how DO you do quotes? I can get the shadow box but I cant get anything in it.

The WBTS is a religious BUSINESS. Lead by imperfect men. Similar to many other Christian religions.

One day hopefully in my lifetime it will be exposed to the full extent who is backing the watchtower, and where the money is going, and it will astound people, it very well could be "Time" magazine story of the century. As long as they are playing the "religion" card here in America they will be free to pilfer, plunder, and destroy. Once the government discovers the extent to which this organization is corrupt, they will turn on her like the old whore she is. Cheers!!!

If you highlight the words you wish to be quoted and then right click on your mouse...press copy.
Then reply to the thread
Below your text area there will be option section which will have a tick in the 'check here to use html formatting' bit...you need to click on this tick with your mouse, then click yes when you get the pop up box....then right click into the text box and click paste...you will then hopefully see the words you have cut and pasted.
Click again in the 'check here' box and then highlight the words you have cut and pasted....then click on the quotes icon at the top...this will place the text in the box.
Hopefully I have explained it ok.
A front for whom?
Mafia

Masonic symbols pop up everywhere and lead anyone who wants to follow them on a wild goose chase. That's their purpose. When you say that you've traced the WTS back to the Masons but is this a revelation or are you just following the paper trail you were meant to follow?
Why is there so much information about these so called secret societies and why do they have all this esoteric mumbo jumbo?
Again it's a diversion. We humans want to know that hidden secret, that bit of information we can reveal to the world and in the same light show ourselves to be the great detective.
Now the first question. Who is laying, or as I think is more likely getting others to lay, this false trail?
The second question is why are they doing it?
For money? Not likely in the WTS case, much more money could be made in business or in drugs, if this “organisation X” has been around long enough to have created or meddled in secret societies it would not only have made and control enough money but the position they would be in money would become pointless except as a way of keeping score in a game where they are the only player.
Control? Most likely. But control for the sake of control or to humanities benefit or detriment? That I wont even begin to speculate on.
Fred Franz was selected for a Rhodes scholarship.
No, he wasn't. He claimed to have been selected for a Rhodes scholarship, but the Rhodes scholarship people later said they had never heard of him. Of course, I suppose that could all be part of the cover-up.
i think fred franz was a bullshitting(like he always did) about claiming to have turned down a rhodes scholarship. he said it to try and get some sort of personal gain out of it.
Sources on this:
Over the years I became more acquainted with Franz. In our local Kingdom Hall we were constantly reminded of his scholarship and his command of eight languages, including Hebrew and Greek. A.H. Macmillan’s 1957 book, “Faith on The March (Prentice-Hall, Inc. Englewood Cliffs, N.J.).
Macmillan was a longtime Watchtower official and family friend who went by the name “Mack” around our house. He could be trusted. After all, he was from bethel, Watchtower world headquarters. Macmillan wrote of Franz in his book: “he carried away the honors at the University of Cincinnati and was offered the privilege of going to Oxford or Cambridge in England under the Rhodes plan” (pg. 181). ”Besides Spanish, Franz has a fluent knowledge of Portuguese and German and is conversant with French. He is also a scholar of Hebrew and Greek as well as Syriac and Latin, all of which contribute to making him a thoroughly reliable mainstay on {President Nathan Homer} Knorr’s editorial staff” (pg. 182).

Some Witnesses say that Macmillian’s book would not be considered authoritative any more, since it was published in 1957. However, Watchtower leaders did cite it as late as 1981 to validate Franz’s credentials. In January 1981, a letter of inquiry was sent to Bethel asking about Franz’s credentials. The Watchtower said in its response, dated Feb. 20, 1981:
“Your letter of January 23, 1981, now has our attention. In response to your inquiries regarding scholastic abilities of Brother Franz, we are enclosing a photocopy of page 181 from the publication Faith On the March. We trust our comments prove helpful to you.”
It was signed: Watchtower B. & T. Society of New York, Inc. More recently, the Society and Franz have admitted that Macmillan’s book was inaccurate. Franz wrote his autobiography in the article “Looking Back Over 93 Years of Living” for the May 1, 1987, Watchtower magazine. In it, he wrote: “I had been chosen to go to Ohio State University to take competitive examinations with others to win the prize of the Cecil Rhodes Scholarship.”
Taking the exams to qualify for a scholarship is a far cry from Macmillan’s claims that “he carried away the honors at the University of Cincinnati and was offered the privilege of going to Oxford or Cambridge in England under the Rhodes plan.”
Franz continued, “I appreciated that I had measured up to the requirements for gaining the scholarship.”
