One - thanks for responding,
Specifically, I have issues with the nature of God, the fall of man and free will, the concept of a ransom sacrifice. These are what I call macro issues, as I do not have to do much research into things such as dates etc. I had these issues before even hearing about this board, Ray Franz or any other doctinal issues.
While Ray's book has been of help to others, who accept the macro explanations, for me personally I decided I was OUT without reading anything. Please don't think I am critical of Ray, his work or anything like that...how can I be critical of something I havent read? Sure, I know of some of the issues he raises from reading threads here etc, but all that does is dig a deeper hole for the JW's. I have rejected dub-dom already. Once I had done that I cannot reject them any further....gone means gone!!
I am more interested in the pursuit of happiness and the pursuit of freedom. While I am still able to be relatively happy and feel free being on the board I will. When I feel happiness and freedom must take me somewhere else I will go there.
Hope this helps...
