History of the First Frat!

FYI no offense given!

History of the First Frat

The first frat was founded around 5 b.c. There was only one founder. His name was Jesus E. Christ. He pledged a line of 12 men from various backgrounds. The line was nicknamed "The Disciples". Jesus was known as Big Brother Devine. 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.

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

Fourtunately, the members regrouped and began to charter more chapters as the ceturies 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 who were all initiated in one day!)

The most famous of all the frat brothers was Paul of Tarsish. 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, Colosae and 2 chapters at Thessalonica. (Note: Paul was
Timothy's DP).

The history of this Frat has been recorded in what we call 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 world wide. Unfortunately, only 20% are financial (tithers), about 60% are shirt wearers who don't attend meetings and do no community service, 40% have pledged other organizations (Nation of Islam, Mormon, Jehova'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 daily required)

The Fraternity is open to all prospectives. Rejects from all organizations are welcome. We have 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 frats is
important, your main focus should be on knowing your history and making a devine connection with our founder. Dues are 10% of your total earnings and membership is renewed daily.

Disclaimer: B.O.C (Body of Christ) is a non-hazing organization.

Thumbs up Amen, Amen

Well said, Sphinxpoet, well said. I think we, the believers of Christ should always be honored to be a part of this "Fraternity" .

BTW - What does the E stand for anyway? Is it Everlasting?
