  Don't buy into Ray Franz's stumbling block.

  by Bleep in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  ray franz wrote, "i was baptized a jehovah's witness in 1972 (three years before armageddon came) and served as an elder for a good number of years.

  all i can say is put franz book to the test for yourself.

  1)he is making money off a dumb idea.. 2)he was expecting 1975 to be armageddon.
