  Ray Franz Wife

  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?

  welcome also "Iamforeverfree".

  Sorry to hear about your dad. But he was just a follower of an evil destructive cult. Otherwise they wouldn't have the blood policy. He did what he thought "God" wanted for him. Glad you know the difference between "God" and the Watchtower.

  cypher: i know what you're thinking, 'cause i'm thinking the exact same thing.

  for those who had the privilege of serving at El's house ( Bethel) it was easy to see the hypocrisy of the WTBT. As Ray said once.....when you've been in the kitchen, you know what the resturant is really like.

  Bethel - House of God?

  by truth_about_the_truth in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  everyone takes it for granted that the israelites worshipped jehovah there, thus making it a fitting name.. the bible states otherwise:.

  amos 3:1414: "that on the day i punish israel for his transgressions, i will punish the altars of bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off and fall to the ground.

  amos 4:44: "come to bethel, and transgress; to gilgal, and multiply transgression; bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days; .

  "which god?"

  El

  Please read Karen Armstrong's "History of God" and you'll learn that Jehovah was one of 70 sons of El. Thus Bethel.

  unfortuneately you cannot show the inconsistences from the CD rom. The WT changes what it puts in there.

  Gentil Times revisited by CO Jonnson is good for comparing WT old stuff.

  Also, James Penton's book "Apacalypse Delayed" has some inconsistencies in them.

  I doubt your parents would believe the changes unless they look at their own literature and see it in their own library.

  Have fun anyway.

  Keep trying,

  Would this be stupid?

  to just lay it all on the line, tell the whole story right here on jwd, sign my real name and let the world know that i am not any longer wishing to be known as a jw?

  aside from a cleansing effect - it would prove just how close the wts is scrutinizing this site.. not that i really have a need to do so - but just wondering about how it would go.

  i don't really care what they do to me, to be honest.
