yeah I just read the african article and the "press release" by the church on the book, which is actually given by an Aloysius Bodock, anyone want to email him? (Aloysious.bodockSPLATthe-electric-church.com) Something that stood out to me said by the article,

"THE ELECTRIC CHURCH is the fastest growing religion in the System of Federated Planets."

strange, apparently this is either taking place in a different reality or way in the future, I'm going with the future, occam's razor, but how far ahead are they?

edit: strange, 9/22/07? huh, that does sound fishy. someone check the source code

The site for the .doc file:

I'll email "Brother Aloysius" but what exactly should I say/ask?

ask him about church doctrines or something I dont know, but he is doing the press releases, so he has to be a prominent member and he probably knows the most about the church out of any character we will find.

Man, i keep listening to the ninth video. I can't hear the second character though.

When he says it i can almost hear either the words:

"Awesome"

or

"Austin"


But I don't hear a number/letter. Its so hard with that stupid radio static he plays every video!

I had my dad listen to it, and he told me its the word " Oscar" and then he proceeded to list off all the code words.

I also emailed that guy asking about the Codex and their Doctrines.

EDIT: Didn't want to make a second post:

Heres the .doc without the notes:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Electric Church has released an official statement regarding the forthcoming novel by Jeff Somers' entitled "The Electric Church." Speaking on behalf of Church founder Dennis Squalor , Church press liaison Ajax Murphy said:

"The novel entitled The Electric Church is the figment of a deranged imagination, and does not reflect the practices of the Electric Church , or the teaching of Dennis Squalor. Mr. Somers' novel repeats a number of spurious rumors about the Church, chief among which is the claim that conversion is the equivalent of murder . We object most strenuously to this characterization.

"It is our belief that the mysteries of the universe cannot be understood in a lifetime, eternity is required. To that end, we have developed a suite of safe, hygienic, and entirely voluntary medical procedures that allow our members unhindered access to eternity. The Electric Church is the only religion that promises its congregation eternal life in this world. In this context, conversion is best understood as a way to achieve life everlasting . This, everyone will agree, is nothing like murder.

"The Electric Church is a legally recognized religion under Joint Council Resolution 322, and as such is granted the same protections from libel as an individual. We have submitted a formal complaint to the Joint Council regarding the book, and our legal team is working to prevent publication of the novel.

"Ours is a church founded upon one goal: the salvation on the human race. Any attempt to diminish that effort is an attempt to damn all humanity to a brief life of toil, sadness, and death."

THE ELECTRIC CHURCH is the fastest growing religion in the System of Federated Planets . Its founder, Dennis Squalor, lives in London.


Plus I emailed Ty asking whats going on and I got this:

Quote:
What's going is The Electric Church isn't as
aw-shucks-ain't-eternity-wonderful as it seems. I'd stay away from the
site if I were you. I'm doing my best to warn people away, but since
the
admins keep cleaning up my work I've had to bury information there. Dig
a bit and you'll find it.

Gotta run--this connection isn't secure.

T


Also: the Brother's email didn't work for me.

[edit - changed the spoiler to 'quote' because it's not a puzzle solve, it's a document that is being archived in here for the players to reference. Thanks for working on the editing instead of double posting. - kona]

all the pictures/files attached, yet strangely, the codex (TEC6) isn't coming up, it says it was removed. Looks like a snag/clue, or just faulty coding Smile Im going with the former though.

nice job Deus, now we can go to the url

Both the pics with 666 as the first number in their title of the NothingTooSeeHere page. They look like murder scenes if looked at closely...

I noticed that too, its interesting. They probably just used the first letter of his first name so its probably not important, now its time to search for the password, anyone have any ideas?
