Frank and Ernest is the name of an international religious broadcast by the Dawn Bible Students Association that has been heard on many stations including Radio Luxembourg. The program followed the format of a personal dialogue where either "Frank" asked "Ernest" a question (or vice versa) and a reply given in order to expound upon the Bible.
In 1928 Norman Woodworth, following intense personal disagreement with the new policies and practices of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, left to create the radio program Frank and Ernest with the help of the Brooklyn, New York congregation of Bible Students. He had previously been responsible for producing the same radio program for the Society.
The Dawn Bible Students Association was formed as a printing house by the majority Bible Students who had left association from the Watch Tower Society when it fell under the control of Judge Rutherford who founded the Jehovah Witnesses in 1931.
