the following notes on fred franz's conducting of the morning bible discussion [17 november 1979] were taken by a bethelite and later given to ray franz:.

some persons are now talking about reading the bible, that we should read "just the bible.

" well, that's what christendom's churches have been telling the people to do for centuries and look at the mess that's resulted.

ZION'S WATCH TOWER TRACT SOCIETY: THE EARLY YEARS

Welcome to my Discussion Board. This Board is operated by one of Jehovah's Witnesses, for other spiritually mature Jehovah's Witnesses, who desire to study the "deeper things" regarding 19th century history of the organization.

... Topics must relate to the 19th century "history" theme of this site, and must NOT speak negatively of Jehovah's Witnesses, the Society, or the "Pioneers".

A research question for my novel

one of the key plot points of my novel (which i'm rewriting again - probably as a result of a personal issue i'll discuss some other time) is a higher up similar to ray franz is about to go public with some information, knowing this the top dog has him killed.

my fictitious religion is similar to the wtbs, but not exactly.

it has similar controls, and a history of false prophecy which it has survived, much like the watchtower.

Follow the money.

The official history is that the 19th century founder sold his family business to start the religion, but really he was secretly funded by representatives of a shadow organization with an evil agenda. He agrees to include their subtle propaganda in his new religion, and they split the profits.

When he dies, and his successor goes to jail, the "religion" nearly goes broke. Many followers leave. The new leader takes out a high-interest loan from the same loan-sharking folks. It's impossible to ever pay off the interest, he's trapped.

The modern-day followers have no idea they're funding an illegal money laundering operation that supports terrorism. The leaders call themselves "The Slave" because they alone know who the real masters are, and where the money goes.

i know there have been many mj threads and probably everyone is sick to death of hearing of this event---but i just had to share this message from the funeral program.

one of our local dj's was able to go to the staples center and attend this memorial and he shared the program on the radio stations website.

the website wouldn't let me cut and paste it here, so i will write word for word what rebbie (his sister) wrote to him.. i love you so much and i'm looking forward to the time when i'll see you again on earth (john 5:28-29).

How did you get MJ to look cartoony? Photoshop?

The painting is from MJ's personal collection, which was put up for auction, and then cancelled, awhile back.

then what do you do if you are a pedophile?

You're asking me?

How about "Charlie Perfume"...I think it was based on Farrah Faucett.
