  One final thing before I go on vacation:

  A while back a few of us discussed setting up a fund for Ray Franz, which I think is an excellent idea. He has done so much for so many people and deserves financial help. I mentioned I would look into setting up an account at my bank for a fund for Ray Franz and his wife, but my bank has yet to touch base with me. Does anybody else have experience in this area? How do you go about setting up a fund?

  Is this something that enough of us would contribute to? If he gets $50 it won't be worth it, it would be embarrassing. I would like some thoughts, please. I am more than happy to make this happen, but I do need to know who wants to participate.

  You have to smear everything decent, don't you. this is not about you Fred, it's about a man that helped a lot of people out and was thrown to the dogs because of it. Do you know what it is like to be in your 80's and only have Medicare for health insurance?

  I have no objection to the idea of a fund, but I'd like to know how that would be better than just sending him a gift directly. All we would need for that woould be a verified reliable address or contact.

  (Such an address or contact may already be available. I don't know.)

  Even better idea. Does anybody know what address we could send a check or money order (made out directly to Ray Franz?)

  MrMoe,

  Throw this cat to the dogs. Like he is the only one have Medicare for health insurance?

  MrMoe

  Well, if Ray wasn't thrown away like garbage by the WT then we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we?

  MrMoe,

  Well, do you have anything better to say?

  Persons supposedly in the know have stated on this DB that RayF and Contemporary Press are one in the same.

  Thus, whenever you order either COC or ISOCF directly from him, he pockets all the profit.

  Thus, to funnel $$$ to RayF, simply order COC from CP, and have him dropship itto a JW relative. I suppose he would do so anonymously, or even include a card or letter.

  EDIT: As has been pointed out in later posts, RayF's corp is "Commentary Press", not "Contemporary Press". This is kinda like my occasional referring to "Utopian Reformist" as "Utilitarian Reformist". Feel free to refer to me as "MadAss" anytime.
