I know of one and it will haunt me for the rest of my life. It was a ministerial servent who had lost his wife in child birth, due to the witness stance on blood transfusions. He was praised for his faithfullness. Years later this man finally figured out that the witnesses where full of crap. The guilt he felt for allowing his soul mate to martyr herself was to much for him. He apologized to his children in a note and took his own life.

Finished Mystery (1917)... The book that Jesus approved...

by Alfred in

so a few months ago, a friend sent me an actual copy of finished mystery which was published in 1917 (not a pdf download... the actual book).

i must say, this was the most disturbing book i have ever had the displeasure of reading.

but i only read it because this was the main publication that was being distributed worldwide when jesus supposedly chose the watchtower in 1918 and i basically wanted to see for myself what jesus saw in the wt that would compel him to choose this religious corporation over all other religious denominations.. anyway, if anyone is interested in knowing the actual contents of this book, here are some bullet points i put together from some of the notes i took as i read the book:.

Oh my I remember my father having a copy of this book. He was so proud of the fact that Fred Franz (not the auther of the book by the way) had signed it for him. Even though Franz had not written the book doesn't his autograph signify he approved of it?
