Now that Cynthia Franz is no more,what will happen to the production of Ray's books? Will someone take over the publishing of the books or will the books go out of print? Those books are too important and need to be published for the next generation.

I agree, I do hope someone keeps them in print, or available On-line.
They are a huge help to any who have just woken up.
We agree! Just reading In Search of Christian Freedom and all I can say is wow! Although we were definitely duped, we can see there really is a way out and a much better place to go. Thank you Ray and Cinthia Franz.

From the Commentary Press (Ray's old publishing company) website:
the present copyright owner ofCrisis of Conscious and In Search of Christian Freedom is committed to further distribution of these publications. More details will be forthcoming.
I wish I knew the inside story better. After Ray's passing, the impression given on the site was that the books would continue to be published through commentary press, but that didn't really ever fully materialize.

Know what would be absolutely awful? If the WTBTS didn't use some shell company to try and buy the rights from Commentary Press, so that they could then quash Ray's books once and for all time. (at least in print). Long live the free internet, where Ray's (and others) books wil always be lurking somehow, somewhere, for free in PDF format for each new "Generation" to discover in some storage website somewhere.
Knowledge is power. Those who control information have power and can rewrite history as they choose. Scary.

I did a search recently for the books. It took a while but I was able to find a free copy of CofC, 4th ed. for DLing. It took maybe an hour to find. I'm sure you can still find copies that way, if you stick to it. Evidently plenty of people have uploaded it/them.
As a community, we need to make sure what WingCommander said doesn't transpire at all cost. I'd be more than willing to donate to a fund that would purchase the rights to keep these books in circulation.
Is there anybody in the know about this?
Memeber : "blondie " knew them personally and probably
knows the situation
