| Authentication: | Evidentiary This paper was entered as evidence into a deposition in a Federal District court case in 1994. Personal Note 1: “’Some Problems Concerning A New Religious Organization’, dated and read to the Forum on March 7, 1955, by Bill Sadler, is a compilation of messages. I don't know the dates of the messages from which he drew. Some of them were also read to us several years later. This is the one that emphasizes having one official organization. It doesn't have the phrase, ‘One Brotherhood,’ but that's what the early leaders always quoted the revelators as saying." Carolyn Kendall 12/24/2007 Note 2: See “Julia K. Fenderson, March 31, 1982” letter for additional confirmation of the reading of revelator communications to the Forum. |
