Because I live with a JW who does`nt know about my apostate activity I dont feel that I can have a copy of Ray Franz book, although I would love to.
Can some please paraphrase their favourite part?
Maybe someday I will be able to read it all.
Thanks,
J
There is a quote Franz used by a statesman that I really appreciated, it really struck a cord with me.
The Great enemy of truth is very often not the lie - deliberate, contrived and dishonest - but the myth- persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. (pg 273)
He realized how much of his entire adult life course was based on the sentiment of this quote. Reading about how Franz dealt with these feelings and the scriptural insight he showed helped me. He came to a point of decision and handled himself remarkable well given the circumstances. I have great respect for the man.
Maybe you could go to a book store and browse it whenever you get a few extra minutes. It's a good-sized book, but you could glean a lot from it, just by scanning the parts that interest you most.
