FACT: In a civil jury trial in Thurston County Superior Court in Olympia, in the Knight vs. Weaver case, on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008, Attorney Robert Kilborne cross examined JZ Knight on the witness stand, under oath. Attorney Kilborne's last question directed to Knight during cross examination was, "Have you ever channeled Jesus?"
Knight's response, "No."
FACT: In the 1987-1988 WindWords newspaper, there is an "audio tape review". It reviews the audio tape, Jesus Speaks, and The Story of Jesus. These tapes were marketed by JZ Knight as being channeled by Knight, who claimed to be channeling Jesus Christ, also allegedly known as Yeshua Ben Joseph.
The newspaper publication, Windwords, contained audio tape reviews that were published in the April 1987 issue, stating:
"Jesus Speaks
In this powerful audio cassette, Yeshua Ben Joseph speaks through JZ's body to an audience at Yucca Valley. Jesus says he came to fulfill a propechy and bring peace to a troubled world, not to be a hero. By worshipping him and his mother, we have done them a disservice. He afforms Ramtha's teaching that the kingdom of heaven is within each of us, and calls mankind "divine creatures squabbling for rubies." In a moving mid-section, Jesus re-lives his crucifixion, repeating his words on the cross. He tells the audience that he shall never come again for he has never left. Recorded in December 1981, the tape requires a good sound system for clear understanding."
"The Story of Jesus
Ramtha details the lifetime of Yeshua Ben Joseph in this two-tape set. His account begins with the birth in Bethlehem; describes Jesus' childhood, his days in the wolderness, his miracles, and his teachings; and ends with a complete account of the crucifixion. The biblical version is basically accurate, but there are a few surprises! Was the star of Bethlehem really a star ? Was Jesus an only child? Why did Judas betray Jesus? What were the final words on the cross ? Where is Jesus now? Ramtha fills in the missing details and offers some interesting insights into the characters in this drama. A perfect companion to the "Jesus Speaks" tape."
FACT: JZ Knight claimed to have channeled Jesus, since the sessions in 1981. Those sessions were audio recorded and have been available for sale to students, since shortly after the event. They have also been referred to in printed publications. For all of these years, Knight has allowed people to believe that she did channel Jesus. Yet, under oath, in a court of law, she said she did NOT EVER channel Jesus.
Did JZ Knight confess to fraud ? Did she commit perjury ?
