A Responsible Discussion on Ray Franz's Role in the Lives of Former JW's

by AllTimeJeff in

jw

since it was learned that ray franz went to the hospital and then passed away, most threads have in my opinion, correctly tried to give some honor and respect to a courageous, honest, and principled man.. some borderline trolls, who know many former jw's are easily upset (and they know this.

i know this...) try to take advantage by hitting on a hot button.

in this case, its to call you a follower of ray franz.. we all know that isn't true.. but i think that a legitimate discussion on this is in order.

Ray was an honest Christian. He have seen from inside all the flaws of the WT, and realized that God had nothing to do with that cult. He had to came out and speak of what was happening within the GB.

Most of all he didn't tried to create a new religion, like many ex-cult leaders do. I had the chance to talk with him few times and indeed I could see the reason writting the 2 books.

He helped hundred of thousands of JW's to breake free from that cult and have a real life.

He will always live in our hearts

How I obtained my personal files from Bethel

by jwfacts in

it has taken me a long time, but i have finally put together an article outlining how i used the law to force bethel to send me my personal files.

it is a very long article full of scans, so i have linked to it at http://jwfacts.com/watchtower/experiences/personal-files-privacy-act-1988.php.

in brief, in 2006 i requested that bethel send me my files on the basis that the australian privacy act 1988 entitles people to receive a copy of any information a corporation holds about them.

JustHuman14

Dude we have similar history...I was disfellowshiped exactly one year after from you...

WT is like FBI they have tones of files of your life

Most-Ignored Scriptures by JWs

by Mad Sweeney in

the watchtower has been known for over 130 years as a great scriptural cherry-picker.

they pick out disparate unrelated verses and combine them to support the wackiest of wacky doctrines.. on the other hand there are many scriptures they almost never address, whether because they contradict wt doctrine or because they simply don't have a clue what they mean or how to spin them to the wt advantage.. one of these is revelation 19:1 that mentions a "great crowd" "in heaven.

" the only time it is ever brought up it is dismissed.

JustHuman14

I would go the other way round on this topic:

Besides Mathew 24:14 and Mathew 24:45-47, John 3:16, WT ignores the rest of the Bible

Start planning now for 2014- the 100th anniversary of 1914

by moshe in

it's not too soon to start mentioning that to jw's- let them know that 100 years is a long time and even g-d only made the israelites wander in the wilderness for 40 years, before he brought them to the promised land.

let the doubt begin creeping in and let the jw's know they aren't the only ones with doubts.

i will mention 2014 to jw's from now on- it's a date that the wt hopes the jw's will ignore..

JustHuman14

I guess WT will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Jesus INVISIBLE presence....the GB will make a great party, in Beth Sarim Mansion,(inside informations revealed to me that the Org has bought back Judge Jo's Villa) with fireworks, and pop corns, cakes, and CLOWNS....

Yeah about 12 CLOWNS they will make people laugh to death. 12 old Clowns that all they do is making themselves fools, for many years,starting from 1942(after Booze Jo died the GB was formed by Knorr)
