Wtf, an apostate labelleling Ray Franz an absolute idiot and moron just because he never became an atheist?
What an insolent little upstart moron you are Vinman.
ray franz who gave us insight into the gb due to a crisis of conscience was an absolute moron, with absolutely no critical thinking skills whatsoever like all of us have.
i mean, to have a conscience based on some magic man in the sky.. how stupid can you be?
in search of christian freedom?

there's a interesting situation emerging where i live and i want to share it all with you because its proof i think jehovah has pulled his holy spirit away.
when elders think they can steal from the government and pretend to be holy, than jehovah god has left us!.
how much money do you think the watchtower will have to dish out for this scandal in australia?
my sister said she heard several "mis truths" or dare we say, "lies" said by the brothers on the stand during the royal commission.. 1) vin toole lied when asked about the expression "theocratic warfare".
he said he was unaware of the term.
2) terry obrien lied when asked whether witnesses are free to research the organisation or free to leave without any negative consequences.. 3) geoff jackson lied when he said that the organisation doesn't run a 'police state' and doesn't criticise those who want to leave.
according to the newest watchtower:.
jehovah communicated with adam in the garden of eden, using human language.
god likely did so in an ancient form of hebrew.
Did they also mention how Jehovah screwed up the original language at the tower of Babel, thus ruining man's unity and creating untold confusion, division, and nationalism? This singular act of god, which JWs take literally, was arguably responsible for most war, division and suffering in history.
And now Jehovah is only going to restore the original language and mankinds unity after slaughtering 99% of the human race at Armageddon that he originally screwed up. Wtf?
few realize just how wicked some of the most revered people in history were.
helen keeler (1880 to 1968) was a wolf in sheep's clothing, no hero.
keller was a communist.
another thing that has bothered me-.
if the righteous and the unrighteous will be resurrected, and will have the same chance at paradise as the hard-core dubs, what was the point of being hard core?
i know the point used to be "well, armageddon is gonna happen this weekend, and you'll survive and they won't!
These glaring and insurmountable moral paradoxes are proof positive that it's all complete bollox.
If there is a 'God', he's given us a conscience and moral 'law' written in our hearts. These are a much better guide than a lot of scary old Jewish stories written by ancient priests to frighten the people into continuing obedience. Throw your Bible in the trash, it's not needed. All you need to follow is your heart and conscience. Even the apostle Paul admitted it:
Romans 2:14: "For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus."
i can imagine those of you who have a spouse that is not awake and how hard it must be.
i have a 90 year old mom who is a jw and still puts in 12 hrs a month in field service.
the brothers and sisters are always picking her up for conventions, meetings and memorials and as much as i try to avoid them, there are times when i just cant.
mr. jackson was pressured by angus stewart to answer if the org condoned corporal punishment, to which he openly stated that the org does not condone corporal punishment for j.w.
children.
this "fact" has never been revealed in the org's literature, in fact, this article which was published under geoffrey jackson's supervision, by definition demonstrates the org's approval of corporal punishment for j.w.
He absolutely prevaricated and lied, on various matters.
It was an incredible expose of the GBs duplicitous mentality and willingness to bend or hide the truth to protect the organisations image.
There's enough apostate cannon fodder in that testimony to seriously tarnish the GBs image for a lot of JWs, if only they had minds open enough to see it for what it is.
