Fred Franz climbs the pyramid of power to CREATE WORLD EVENTS
by Terry inlet's pause a moment and consider the actual history of the watchtower society.. until his death, pastor c.t.russell was the driving force behind the publication of the watchtower.
russell controlled it and made provisions in his will for what would happen to the watchtower in the event of his death.
