Are You A Member of this Frat?

History of the First Frat

The first frat was founded around 5 B.C. There was only one founder.
His name was Jesus Christ. He pledged a line of 12 men from various
backgrounds.


The line was nicknamed "The Disciples". Jesus was known as Big
Brother Divine.

The Ace of the line was Peter. (line name "The Rock") The deuce
was Andrew, Peter's brother. (line name "Baby Boy")

The tail of the line was Judas. (line name "Big Money") Judas was
the chapters' treasurer. He was known for stealing dues and
misreporting
funds. He later denied that he had pledged and committed suicide
after he
arranged to have the founder crucified.

When the frat came under heavy opposition, Peter also denied that he
had pledged and stated that he had no connection to the founder.

Christ, the founder, was later crucified, and, on that day, only one
member of the frat was present: John (line name "The Beloved").

Fortunately, the members regrouped and began to charter more
chapters as the centuries passed. Peter was eventually voted in as
the first president.

The first reformation meeting was held in the upper room which
eventually took over a line of 120 people. (Peter later pledged a
line of 3000 that were all initiated in one day!)

The most famous of all the frat brothers was Paul of Tarshish. He
was known for being a "hater" of the frat but was eventually
"persuaded" to become a member. He helped to form chapters at Corinth (2 chapters),
Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi, Colossae and 2 chapters at Thessalonica. (Note:
Paul was Timothy's DP--Dean of Pledges).

The history of this Frat has been recorded in what is called the
Holy Scriptures or the Bible. The motto, vows, constitution, bylaws
and fraternity song (written by David who was a fore runner for the
frat)were originally recorded in the Canons of the Holy Scrolls which
are now included in the Holy Bible.

Today the frat is still going strong with over 956,000 chapters and
600 million members worldwide. Unfortunately, only 20% are financial
(tithers), about 60% are shirt wearers who don't attend meetings and
do no community service, 40% have dropped and pledged other organizations
(Nation of Islam, Mormon, Jehovah's Witness) and a large part of the world's
population have decided not to pledge because of the inability to maintain the
high standards of the frat. (Righteous living and a desire to increase in
knowledge).

The Fraternity is open to all. Rejects from all organizations are
welcome. It has no respect of persons. The ritual consists of
confessing your sins and accepting Jesus as Lord. Initiation is immediate; although
the process" is a life long experience. If you happen to drop off line
(which most people do more than once) you will not be banned from
completing the process. Although bonding with your fellow members is important,
your main focus should be on knowing your history and making a divine
connection with the founder. Dues are 10% of your total earnings and membership is
renewed daily.
