History of the decoding & Gordon's battle with FDS3

My thanks to: Professor Horace David Ritchie (dad), Grandpa Prentice, Hugh Woodcock, Roger Shakeshaft, Mr Ashenhurst, Chris Wall, Esmond Rand, Classics Master Tomlinson, Graham Findlay, Dr Ray Mitchell, Dean Green of Queens, Prof Thompson (Feit Thompson theorem), Dr Hyland (Logic), Dr Martin Powell (Algebra), Clifton Turner, Tony Moore, Massoud Vakili, Dulwich College Preparatory School, ILEA, Magdalene College Cambridge and Magdalen College Oxford, for teaching me to think gracefully.

Every religion makes the mistake of stifling free thought amongst its congregation. Perhaps the most effective way of doing this is to pass itself off as a promoter of bible research whilst acting to destroying it. These churches discourage the congregations from doing their own personal research because the priests are insecure about their failed research or biblical understandings. So being more interested in their own power and status within the congregation than they are in actually performing their priestly duties to teach the congregation the truth from God, they stifle this truth and steal God’s power for their own corrupted self seeking use. It is a syndrome which is not unique to churches. Academic departments, government departments and commercial companies all have it as well. My father used to call people who practice this, the ‘Mediocre Mafia’. Jesus described them thus:

Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men. For you yourselves do not go in, neither do you permit those on their way in to go in (Matthew 23:13).

The reader will see from the history of the battle below how the Governing Body of the Jehovah’s Witnesses (with the partial exception of Daniel Sydlik) have taken just such a position with my research. It is so hypocritical given that their original name was ‘International Bible Students’.

It is my fervent hope, and my strong resolve that I and that the Life, the Lord’s Witnesses, the Bible Decoders, will always encourage bible research from all of the members of the congregation and indeed from anybody else! Whether such research agrees with our present understanding or whether it shoots it down in flames entirely!

The best way to ensure that this occurs is always to admit publicly the possibility that any of the currently accepted interpretations may be wrong. We have to be academic in our approach to bible understanding here and not professional or political! Dammit they could all be wrong! It is up to the reader to decide! But this is how one follows God, one simply obeys the best bible information that one has at the time! I hope that the reader will see that this website has this information and by some considerable margin right now. I hope that he or she will help us to improve it in the little time that is left. And I hope that God gives us all the grace to see it! God can reveal his true interpretations to anybody! Sinners and righteous alike, rich and poor, well educated and barely educated, powerful and powerless, good and bad, healthy and sick, church goers and church haters, straight and crooked, guilty and innocent, men and women and children. His arm is never cut short, and there is nothing that is too extraordinary for him. He can reveal them! But only those who love him will accept them.

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God (Matthew 5:8).

For they loved the glory of men more than even the glory of God.
However, Jesus cried out and said: He that puts faith in me puts faith, not in me [only], but in him [also] that sent me; and he that beholds me beholds [also] him that sent me.
I have come as a light into the world, in order that everyone putting faith in me may not remain in the darkness (John 12:43-46).

N.B. Many of the understandings in these historical letters and books are wrong and many (but not all) have now been corrected. Below is a list of most of the correspondence between us, it was rather one way! I have lost one or two letters I think.

1999Elul25	Gordon Realized that the 7 years of eyes of Revelation 5 had ended and the 7 years of horns had started. Seeing ends, power starts. He was antetypical Joseph the 1^st horseman of the apocalypse. Time to go conquering. Time to go subduing in the midst of his enemies. Gran Canaria Thurs night 9^th September 1999.
1999September14	Sentence for Mortgage fraud became spent under English law, 7 years after my conviction (14 September 1992). This feature of UK law descends directly from the law of Moses. Being the release in the sabbath year, every 7th year, of all debtors (Deuteronomy 15:1,2). Justice and mercy. The purpose of the law is to teach through temporary condemnation. Not to judge in permanent condemnation. I wonder, if a man who committed a crime under the law of Moses for which the punishment was death, actually owned up to it and was stoned, if this belated respect for the law was sufficient for God to resurrect him. For he has obeyed the most difficult part of the law!
2000January25	This website is advertised by Fax in the UK.
2000March21	First public meeting of the LWs in the Cumberland Hotel, London, around 200 attended, responding to a faxed invitation. 3 ways of deducing the date of Armageddon were presented.
2000April/May/June	Weekly talks at the Cumberland, very large leaps in our understandings were made.
2000Tishri16	The 2NC celebrated 30 days late due to new understandings of how to celebrate it. The first LWs 'water' baptized by Gordon (through the laying on of hands).
2000November	Gordon Ritchie, Gary McCaferry and later Justin Pugsley and Richard Williamson invent HyperOs, software that runs Microsoft Windows entirely from system RAM, and runs several copies of Windows without multibooting. Gordon wished to show an incredulous World that he is good at computer coding, in order to establish credibility with bible decoding (this was his excuse in any event). Writing software that competes with Microsoft is light relief from bible decoding intellectually. But it is not as satisfying spiritually obviously.
2003August/September	Gordon begins to realize that HyperOs was not what God wanted him to be doing and this possibly is why he is beaten with few strokes (Luke 12) - see [34]. The period from 2000 to 2003 should have been used to further bible understanding, not to attempt to compete with Microsoft. A wasted opportunity. But Gordon's false step means an opportunity for the rest of the world. So come on you men and women with faith, be modern day prophets and prophetesses, come and feed on the divine truth, there is nothing on earth like it!!
