Awakened at Gilead,
Thanks, I have ordered it on Amazon. He "left" after I did. I can't wait to read it.
Back when I read "Crisis" I actually looked up the number of the publisher and imagine my surprise when I was able to talk to Brother Franz myself. We talked for quite a while and answered the questions I asked. A great guy. He has done more service to humanity than he will ever know.
I bet if you request a BS the WTBS/JW will respond by a phone call and knocking on your door.
I love that man, and I've never met him or corresponded. His books are so well written and full of such kindness that he really reflects Jesus Christ in his attitude. I'm recently disassociated and am trying to "imitate his faith" and attitude. Some days I succeed, some days I don't.
God's blessing on you Ray and Cynthia, even though you feel the effects of age, I pray that you also feel the deep satisfaction that Job felt toward the end of his life.
Gb correspondence....
Lets say I wouldn't hold my breath.....

p.s. oops forgot to say that's pretty nice for him to respond to you....I'm sure he appreciates every ones thank-you's for his masterpiece!
Feel free to name drop all you want.
Ray Franz did more for me than he could ever know.
His kind words and thoughtful information was the
catalyst that finally allowed me to reconcile the
big blank spot that was in my life.
I didn't even realize that there was a problem.
As I began reading his first book, his compassion
for so many that he didn't even know, came through
to me and brought tears to my eyes.
I need, no must, write him if only to express my
heartfelt gratitude for all that he has done for me.
His is a true Christian love, even for those he
doesn't even know.
If anyone in the know could PM me with the best way
to contact him, please do so.
I would be more grateful than I can ever express.
Boyzone: I was thinking to say something similar. Thanks Ray. You are really an example to follow as human being. Took: Say hi to Ray for me and bring pictures!
If I wrote a letter to any of the current governing body members, what chance would I have of receiving a personal reply?
Ever heard of the expression............. a snowballs chance in Hell ?
peace & harmony

As for his health and "frailty", I don't know. He talks about it in his emails but when you hear him over the phone he sure sounds full of vigor and energy. Great guy.
Frankly ? Probably none at all. Personally ? It would not surprise me at all.
