  No doubt many of you are truly, to borrow the term of R.V. Franz, "captives of a concept", and hold to the idea that the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses is God's Organization.

  But certainly one or more of you knows that this religion is not what you thought it was. You know something is wrong. You know it can't be what it claims to be.

  Please, stand up for what is right. Walk away, expose this religion for what it is (or what it isn't), follow your conscience and make the tough choice and help the sheep transition away from this control.

  With the recent landmark case in California against one of the Organization's corporations the door is open, grow a pair and walk through.

  Millions are waiting for you to take this noble step. Do the right thing.

  Aside from the fact that the GB would never see this....

  They are too prideful, too arrogant, and frankly too dumb to ever even think of what you suggest.

  Nice letter.

  They have been put on notice.

  They have status, power and a comfortable lifestyle. People have sold their soul for less.

  Wouldn't that be nice if someone would from Legal or the GB would do it? However, look what happened to Ray Franz and Barbara Anderson when they stood up for what was right? The Ex-Witness community noticed but were demonized by the JW as apostates. I cannot tell you how many times growing up, then as a young adult, then as an elder, what a horrible person Ray was. I think that I had left the Borg before hearing anything about Barb from fellow Witnesses.

  So even if that scenario played out, it would be ignored by people like my JW mom.

  However, how many JWs even remember the names of any of past GB members, let alone the recent ones?

  Raymond Franz and Barbara Anderson, for instance, are greatly appreciated and will be remembered by tens of thousands for many years to come.

  Nothing like stand up for what is right at any cost.

  I agree that they are too arrogant to do anything. But there is a small sliver of me that hopes there is another Ray Franz among them.....and it is only a matter of time before he too can take no more of the BS

  I suspect most if not close to all of the JW members are unaware of the fiascal. Since they are taught that the internet is "bad", they may not come across this event. Now, if it goes to print and/or is covered by television media...it might be a different story.

  I find it stunning how serving at Bethel has been a wake-up call to so many, yet the higher ups remain intact. Are they really that blinded? Do they all still believe the BS? ... or just too much to lose? If it is because they have too much to lose, that is just plain wicked.

  Im sure its only a matter of time before we get another Barbara or Ray, kind, loving people who want the truth to be known!

  Did you send this letter to the GB wannabefree? I would. Perhaps we all should be writing similar letters, simple, to the point and bombard them.
