Yes, they have heard of Ray and his book. My JW parents know about it but they never read it, they should know too.

I'm less sure, GB members come and go over the years, most J.w's couldn't name the people deciding so much for their lives and the lives of their children. How many know of the Franz incident outside of that local region, I'm not so sure many do.

GB members are human too, secretly hungry for all the info, perhaps working at HQ pondering if it is all true or not. Anybody that denies doubt is never to be trusted. Those poor guys deserve information too, put yourself in their shoes and imagine going to bed every night fearful you have it wrong and now are part of a global problem. Or imagine being 100% sure you are right and convinced that there is no evidence to the contrary of your beliefs. Either way COC is an interesting point of view for such people. I think I would read it, even in secret.

if somebody PM's me their emails, I'll send them. I'm interested in their opinions on the book or reasons why they would not read it.

All of the GB Members have already read the Kingdom Ministry annoucement of Ray Franz being terminated from the Bethel Family and of the Governing Body. The youngest GB member, Mark Sanderson was 15 at the time of the announcement. I was told that he was a very good boy all of his life, I am sure he remembers the annoucement too.

Announcement at age 15 from all those yrs ago? I wouldn't be so sure.

Ray Franz was a celebrity in the JW world, most of us knew about him.

I never heard of him until long after leaving. Even if they have, I guarantee they won't have read it, I'm going to offer them the option,

People talk. I would be astonished if Sanderson never heard the bethelised version of the Ray Franz affair at least.

I never heard about any of this stuff until I came on this website. Lots of people in the 1980s/90s wouldn't know. I didn't know about COC until I found this forum in November last year.

In my time as a JW I never heard anyone discussing doubts, if anything slightly negative was hinted at , the response was "pray" ....end of discussion.
