Sorry booby for not realizing it was a cut and paste job. I should have known anyone on this site would never be that stupid. You are so right what you say about Ray, I haven't yet heard anybody give proof that anything he said was a lie.
Thanks too to Trevor for the youtube video. Jws will try anything to try and make a case for a knowledgeable governing body. Of course they always fail miserably.
Franz was accepted by Rhodes..But..Never attended Rhodes..

Fred Franz--a few highlights of one of the few of the 144,000--Prophet of
Prophets:
1944 The fall of Jerusalem was moved back one year from 606 to 607 BC. ("The
Kingdom is at Hand," 1944, pp.171-175) Don't you kids try that at home. This
made it suit the time that was given for the start of the Gentile Times--moved
from 606 BC to 607 BC in 1943.

LAWYER: At any rate, Jehovah God is now the editor of the paper, is that
right?
F.FRANZ: He is today the editor of the paper.
LAWYER: How long has he been editor of the paper?
F.FRANZ: Since its inception he has been guiding it.
LAWYER: Even before 1931?
F.FRANZ: Yes, sir.
1986 "Would That All Were Prophets! You will be interested to learn that God
has on earth a people, all of whom are prophets, or witnesses for God. In fact,
they are known throughout the world as Jehovah's Witnesses." ("Awake!" June 8,
1986, p.9)
"What is required if one is to become an approved associate of Jehovah's Wit-
nesses?
"Such a person must accept the entire range of Bible teachings, including
those Scriptural beliefs that are unique to Jehovah's Witnesses." ("The Watch-
tower," April 15, 1986, p.31)

Prediction about the end of the millennium:
1989 "The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity.
He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our 20th
century." ("The Watchtower," January 1, 1989, p.12)
Later that year it was decided that the wrong supernatural voice gave that
advice and to deny and cover up having ever listened to them:
1989 "We have ample reasons to expect that this preaching will be completed
in our time. Does that mean before the turn of a new month, a new year, a new
decade, a new century? No human knows.." ("The Watchtower," October 1, 1989)
"20th century" of the Jan.1, 1989 tract was re-written as "day," without an
editor's correction note, for the JWs bound collection of tracts:
1989 "The apostle Paul was spearheading the Christian missionary activity.
He was also laying a foundation for a work that would be completed in our day."
("The Hand of Jehovah Was With Them," "The Watchtower," Jan. 1, 1989, p.12)

Special knowledge about earthquakes:
"In comparison with the previous 2,000 years, the average per year has been 20
times as great since 1914." ("Reasoning from the Scriptures," 1985, p.236)
How to show a kid you love them with a birthday party:
"This tragedy can be avoided with proper teaching from as early in the in-
fant's life as possible...the chapter explains that the only two birthday par-
ties mentioned in the Bible were celebrated by pagans, who did not worship Jeho-
vah, and that at each party 'someone's head was chopped off.' (Mark 6:17-29;
Genesis 40:20-22) How can you use this information to reach your child's
heart?" ("The Watchtower," Aug.1, 1988, pp.13,15)
Ooo--I feel all warm and gooey inside.
Accurate knowledge proves the existance of Satanic atheistic fossil links,
Satanic atheistic medical use of blood and major blood fractions, Satanic
atheistic Civil Service dentists, and that all non-JWs preachers are Satanic and
atheistic:
"The faith of Jehovah's Witnesses is under attack from all sides--by the
clergy of Christendom who hate the Kingdom message we take from house to house,
by apostates who collaborate with Christendom's clergy, by medical authorities
who want to impose blood transfusions on us and our children, by atheistic
scientists who reject belief in God and the creation, and by those who try to
force us to compromise our neutrality. All this opposition is orchestrated by
Satan, the ruler of darkness and ignorance, the enemy of accurate knowledge."
("The Watchtower," Dec.1, 1989, p.12)

"Who are you going to believe--me or your own eyes?" (Groucho Marx):
"So the expression 'every eye will see him' means that everyone will then"
(1914) "understand or recognize that Christ is present" ("Paradise," 1982, p.
146) (The JWs leaders maintained the Nelson Barbour view that Russell main-
tained about Rev.1:7.)
It's generally thought that the Shema, prayer, and worship were a few of the
most important ways 1st cent. Jews showed belief in the one God.
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/5490/Seminar1/Hurtado.htm
http://www.forananswer.org/Top_JW/Hurtado_Monotheism.htm
This is a Satanic apostate lie. Actually, a distinguishing feature of 1st
cent. Jews is that they beat people to death with rocks if they thought they saw
an angel:
"To whom should prayers be addressed?
"The Bible book of Hebrews speaks of a person that 'approaches God.' (Hebrews
11:6) Who is this God? There is but one almighty God, though there are many man-
made and false gods. (1 Corinthians 8:5, 6) The almighty God of the Bible is
named Jehovah. (Psalm 83:18) He is the Creator of all things, and for this
reason prayer should be directed only to him. ("The Watchtower," March 15, 1988,
p.6)
http://www.jude3.net/jws_should_pray_to_jesus.htm
"But what about the apostle Thomas' saying, 'My Lord and my God!' to Jesus at
John 20:28? To Thomas, Jesus was like 'a god,' especially in the miraculous
circumstances that prompted his exclamation. Some scholars suggest that Thomas
may simply have made an emotional exclamation of astonishment, spoken to Jesus
but directed to God."
The NWT (Fred Franz, editor) re-wrote "Lord" as "Jehovah" at Acts 2:21, Rom.
1:13, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_William_Franz
"And they went on casting stones at Stephen as he made appeal and said: 'Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit.' Then, bending his knees, he cried out with a strong
voice: 'Jehovah, do not charge this sin against them.' And after saying this
he fell asleep [in death]." (Acts 7:59,60, NWT)
People who want JWs to be helped with the medical use of blood and major blood
fractions are sexual brutes. Flee from their grubby grasps even if you have to
suffer for the sake of righteousness:
"...to force blood on a Christian would be the equivalent of forcible sex--
rape." ("How Can Blood Save Your Life?" 1990, pp.4,8,14,20,22,27)
"How strenuously should a Christian resist a blood transfusion that has been
ordered or authorized by a court? God's law must be obeyed! ...if a court-
authorized transfusion seemed likely, a Christian might choose to avoid being
accessible for such a violation of God's law.... If a Christian did put forth
very strenuous efforts to avoid a violation of God's law on blood, authorities
might consider him a lawbreaker or make him liable to prosecution. If punish-
ment did result, the Christian could view it as suffering for the sake of right-
eousness." ("The Watchtower," June 15, 1991, p.31)

The fool's gold rule: have the pot call the kettle "the pan calling the pot
black."
"SHARING RICHES WITH THE POOR
"Perhaps the dominant appeals of the pope during his American visit were to
reject materialism and to share with the poor. A few hours after lecturing the
United Nations on this matter, he told an audience of some 80,000 at New York's
Yankee Stadium: 'We must find a simple way of living. For it is not right that
the standard of living of the rich countries should seek to maintain itself by
draining off a great part of the reserves of energy and raw materials that are
meant to serve the whole of humanity.'
"However, what effect do you suppose those words have when coming from a man
clad in royal robes, who rides around in beautiful limousines and lives in con-
siderable luxury? Bishop Mariano Gaviola, secretary-general of the 1970 Bishops
Conference of the Philippines, gave some idea as he noted: 'When the bishops
[and we can add, the pope] condemn graft and corruption in the government or
speak against the misuse of wealth, some people wonder whether it is not a case
of the pan calling the pot black.'
"But will the Church follow this proposal? Will it practice sharing its wealth
with the poor, as the pope advised the rich nations to do? It has not been in-
clined to do this in the past; whether it yet will do so remains to be seen.
"However, the really important question is not: Will the Church practice what
the pope preached? Rather, it is: Will it practice what the Bible teaches?
("The Watchtower," Jan.1, 1980, pp.6,7, "Will the Church Practice What the Pope
Preached?")

Oral robbers
"Sexual Conduct… concerning the marriage bed, individuals can, however, be
advised that in their intimate relations, as in all other aspects of Christian
life, they need to… have a hatred for all perverted practices including homo-
sexuality, bestiality, oral sex and the like (Lev. 18:22,23; Ps. 97:10; Amos 5:
15; Rom. 12:9; Eph. 5:3,10-12; Col. 3:5,6) Persons should be urged to act in
such a way as to leave them with a clean conscience, and the marriage bed unde-
filed. (Heb. 13:4)" ("Kingdom Ministry School Textbook," 1981, p.151)
http://www.quotes-watchtower.co.uk/oral_sex.html
"A university degree may or may not improve your employment prospects. But one
fact is indisputable: "The time left is reduced"! (1 Corinthians 7:29) For all
its presumed benefits, would four years or more in a university be the best use
of that remaining time?—Ephesians 5:16." ("Awake!" May 8, 1989, pp.13-14, "What
Career Should I Choose?) More from the same article is at the next link.

Satanic sand the floor, wax on--wax off, paint the fence
"It is not in harmony with the spirit of 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-7 or Isaiah 2:4
for a Christian to learn karate, judo, or other martial arts. A brother would
be disqualified as an elder, a ministerial servant, or a pioneer if he took up
the study of such martial arts and practiced them. A person publicly advocating
such could be dealt with in line with 2 Thessalonians 3:13-15. As in the case
of a person who takes up professional boxing and continues in such a course, he
would be expelled from the congregation. ("The Watchtower," July 1, 1981, pp.30,
31)
"Franz was a very humble brother but also a very intelligent Rhodes scholar"
Just a couple of typos is all. He means...
"Franz was a very bumble brother but also a very idiotic Roads scholar"
Rhodes scholar? Not quite. He was a college dropout. But since he went to college for two years, "close enough" under Watchtower standards of veracity!
Was this like a Finish Sauna - I mean were these guys sitting there nekked?
Was this like a Finish Sauna - I mean were these guys sitting there nekked?
Evidently, the euphamism for this activity is "theocratic wrestling".
cantleave:"Was this like a Finish Sauna - I mean were these guys sitting there nekked?"
Of course not! Here's a photo of Freddie in the sauna, taken by one of his "study buddies":
Even in the sauna, he needed a shirt with a pocket to carry his pens. And he needed the tie to cover the missing buttons.
Of course, what you can't see in this picture is that he is stark naked from the waist down.
Fred Franz was a consumate liar. He knew that he was not a Rhodes Scholar or ANY kind of scholar at all.... being a typtical college drop-out. Yet, he did nothing to dispell these persistent rumors.
