  The Grandest "witness" that each of us could give to the world looks to be shortly upon us. Will you be there? (In honor of Ray Franz)

  many of us are aware of the stroke that raymond franz had yesterday,.

  that he is on life support and it doesn't look like he is going to pull through.. someone on another thread mentioned if he didn't survive how many.

  was planning on attending his funeral.. to me this deserves its own thread.. .

  Brock it's obvious you don't understand what Ray's life and his experience means for many of us.

  It is one thing to show appreciation and respect and another to worship. And I don't think anyone

  here worships Ray. But I bet you he's very much respected for the honesty and the bravery he

  showed in exposing the goings on of the higher echelons in the WTS. Ray is a Christian man a

  person who has shown respect to those he has been in touch with and we owe him the same

  respect back.

  If you can't understand please don't make a fool of yourself by talking trash on this forum.

  BTW are you the same Brock on Barb's PalTalk?

  Ray's books are a wonderful eye opener as it concerns the inner dealings of the WTS.

  I'm glad I had a chance to read them and I recommend them to anyone reading this

  forum and who still attends meetings or is active as a JW. Do not be afraid to know

  the "truth" from someone who was there and witnessed it all from inside the sessions

  of the Governing Body and then was brave enough to share the "truth" of what happens

  in the GB meetings. Ray Franz deserves our thanks and our appreciation for his effort

  and his honesty.

  Thanks CoCo for bringing this post back to top.

  Thanks Sooner7nc for that quote from Ray. It really shows how sharp he was even at 87 years

  and having had a minor stroke already. I love his books and have now read both. They are a help

  in understanding that the WT Society isn't God's Channel as they claim, but only a manipulating

  religious book publishing and magazine printing corporation that takes advantage of us gullible

  people who thought we were getting into paradise by following their lead. Instead Ray's books

  helped me to find the real freedom in Christ. May he and his wife feel how loved and cared about

  they are from so many people around the world. I hope and pray for peace for him and his family

  during this difficult time.

  Will The Governing Body Enforce the New Generation Understanding and Muzzle Open Criticism Among the Rank and File?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  to keep every jw on the same page about the new light on extending the generation to mammoth's lengths of time the gb will no doubt be squashing any open criticism,, even the old cronies at bethel will looking differently at the gb when that starts happening.

  even the most hardcore believer will be looking at the governing body in a "new light".

  They'll squelch discontent with backroom sessions, removal of privileges,

  marking talks, and eventual DF'ing of anyone who persists in calling this

  new crazy generation gap overlap idea what it truly is, a bunch of crap.

  Utterly destroy

  by hoj in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  many times god orders his people to utterly destroy the enemy.

  this one is from judges, the same book that had gideon's army which i see as allegory.

  could this be figurative also?.

  But notice it wasn't God that wanted this done. It was the assembly of Israelites.

  Look at verse 25

  "In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes."

  Sometimes men try to put blame on God for the things men do. This whole account really

  shows 'sickening' and 'despicable' things some men can do to other people.

  Witness Watchdog likes to poop on everyone's party.

  Nobody likes dog poop, not even the biggest poops of

  them all who sit on the GB. Witness Watchdog needs

  Hey Mega,

  That's surely an apostate picture. Oh, wait a minute it looks

  like one of those subliminal faces on WT publications. Ok,

  never mind
