    I can't thank Ray Franz enough for what he wrote and how he has affected people for the better. While reading his books and seeing threads about him I have always wondered how his wife reacted when he started telling her about his doubts and trouble with the society. How did she react when she had to leave bethel with him? Was she in his corner at first or did it take some time? Did this strain their marriage?

    And most importantly of all - Can he offer any advice to someone who is married and trying to get out with his life intact???!!??

    I ask all of you so that I don't over burden him; he must have much more important issues to deal with than this.

    His wife exited with him willingly. She saw how unjustly he was treated. So far as I know she was never disfellowshipped as the he was.

    He has really been the corner stone of a lot of valuable information, we would have a much harder time with his efforts to share what he knew. We all owe him a lot.

    I second that, and I also want to thank the person who gave me the books. Up until recently, I didn't even know they existed.

    Franz was heroic in my mind. Without his books I would still be floundering about knowing something was wrong but having no idea how to sort it out - I have thanked him personally for what he did for me.

    May he be blessed for eternity for his actions and writings.

    Ray Franz is curiously silent about his wife's reaction.

    I remember Heinz Schmidt claiming that Ray Franz' wife pleaded with the society to take her husband back into the organisation, claiming that she had written many such letters to the New York headquarters until recent years.

    Apologetic rhetoric as that may be, one does get the sense from the absence of real discussion of his wife's views that Mrs Franz may not have been as willing a fellow 'conscientious' crusader against the 'Watchtower' as Ray Franz himself.

    Of course I know that many here have actually met the pair, and fully expect to bashed about and told I do not know what the hell I am talking about...
