I received an e-mail from Ray Franz

pc

I wrote to him to express my utmost respect for him and his wife and all they did by writing his books. I wasn't going to say anything about it to anyone because I thought maybe that would be disrespectful to him. To day in rereading it for the 20th time I just felt so melonchly about it. His 82nd birthday is May 8th. What a truly wonderful and loving man and to have been so persecuted by the JW's. I haven't been posting very much because I go between anger and such complete sadness. I really haven nothing to be sad about however. I have a great life, wondeful marriage and kids. I won't really loose anyone because most of my family is out. It's my dad and my brother who are still in. I just can't believe sometimes how we all stayed in for so long. I have been trying to talk to my brother and his wife but they just think everything is made up. Anyway this is kind of a bizarre post but I know everyone here for the most part will completely understand.(That is the sadest part of all)!!! hugs to all PC
