black boxA mysterious and powerful black box and the shepherd appear on earth, challenging the world's people, politics, religions, science and militaries.Now, many anticonversionists embrace the view that the box has probably been on Earth for some time. Along with that, they believe that the black box was used in that distant past. They see the black box as the devil's hand reaching into Eden. Without the black box, many believe that God's original plan would be in place and “Eden” would exist. For them, the black box is the source of original sin or the result of it.To the conversionists, the black box is the equivalent of the "holy grail" and sought with the same fervor. The government's hiding of the box is no less an outrage than a wall around Jerusalem. Conversionists demand access to the black box. They demand the right to conversion. Court suits are filed. Laws guaranteeing access to the box are introduced. The pressure to bring the black box out into the open grows quickly. Already, politicians on each side of the issue have won and lost elections on this issue. For most of them, they wish the box never existed. There was a time when the destruction of the box was an easy solution. No longer. Now the ramifications of its destruction are potentially as great as its being accessible to the public.
