the
Franz
Incident
(1979-1980) Several unrelated discoveries of the faulty
607BC-1914AD chronology that forms the very foundation of much Watchtower
teaching concerning their own authority were squelched by the Governing
Body in the late '70's. When all the information came to the attention of
many Bethel family members in 1979-1980, and some talked to others about
it, a major witch-hunt began in order to silence those who talked of the
cover-up.
