  I was "totally" stopped in my tracks by an "atheist" comment.

  i must admit i can at times be a little "egotistical" when it comes to knowledge and the bible.

  i have studied the bible for so long and have always had a passion for the bible as a jw and as an ex-jw.

  i guess that is all i have left when it comes to religion and as humans we do tend to stroke our egos.

  It's a fairy tale. Nuff' said.

  That being said, the Noah movie fits more in line with Gnosticism than it does with the biblical account of the flood. Also read Gilgamesh, predates Noah.

  conversation with an elder...i said " did you watch due south yesterday" and he said " ive got far more important things to do".

  i mean that comment of his got me to thinking and wondering, and made me see he was missing out on living..and i think that comment was the straw that broke this boys faith, and started my i dont want to be a witness anymore.

  kind of wierd how a simple question opened my eyes.. and now as i write this i am watching " the rebel" a 1950s western series, and its great and its even better my 9 year old is watching with me..and there is nothing more important than being happy.. .

  What really grinds my gears is my parents didn't make a ton of money, they could have gotten CHIP or something to help with the dental work, instead we went to Mexico for dental work lol.

  Ray Franz - is he REALLY a hero?

  by baltar447 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  on one hand, he's enlightnened many to the internal circle jerk that is the governing body (circa the 70s).. but if there's one reason that can be pointed to for the jws becoming full on cult, it's ray franz.

  without him leaving in the manner he did, and stirring the pot, they might not have change the rule (retroatively i might add) on shunning of disassociated ones.

  they specifically changed that so they could remove him and eliminate his influence.. his actions single handedly have created the situation where we have to fade, evade, leave marriages, say goodbye to family, just because we don't buy the jw bullsh!t anymore.

  I don't know what he could have done differently, and YES, his inside info has helped many to leave, but BECAUSE of him the cost is very high.
