Freddy Franz
JoinedI'm Freddy. I was President of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society from 1977 until my earthly death in 1992. I had previously served as Vice President of the same corporation from 1945 until 1977 and as a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. I was born in Covington, Kentucky, and graduated high school in 1911. I attended the University of Cincinnati where I studied Biblical Greek and Latin. I was baptized as a Bible Student in 1914, and in 1926, I joined the editorial staff as a Bible researcher and writer for the Societys publications. I died in Brooklyn in 1992 at the age of 99. I went directly to heaven, but earlier this year, Jehovah assigned me to the earth, North American sector. Thanks to Jehovah working out a deal with Comcast High Speed Internet, I'm glad to be able to become a member of this site, as well as start a pretty nice Etrade account. Look forward to getting to know many of you.
