I'm just rereading Crisis of Conscience and was thinking if only there were others on the GB like him. Maybe things could change for the better. For instance when he felt troubled that a woman couldn't get a divorce when her husband cheated on her with another man.
His response was this:-"The emotional upset I felt moved me to make a study of the original language terms (in Greek) used in Matthew, chapter nineteen, verse 9."
He ended up researching it, then preparing a 14 page resume' which he presented to the other members and was received well and he wrote the necessary articles explaining the 'new understanding'.
A sister wrote a letter saying how she had divorced her husband for having sex with an animal. She went on to remarry and was disfellowshipped as it was an 'unscriptural' marriage. Upon reading the articles she wanted to know if she could 'clear her name'.
This is what Ray went on to say about it:-" I could only write her that the articles published were themselves a vindication of her course. Though again it had been satisfying to prepare the material acknowledging the organization’s erroneous view and rectifying it, the sobering thought remained that this could never undo whatever harm the previous position had caused over decades of time and—only God knows—to how many people."
Unfortunately, when good men like this try to do the right thing, they are thrown out like Ray was.
