I've been reading C of C and ISOCF side by side for the past six months.

Liberating, humbling, depressing - where do you start?

Any former JW who's read these books will know just how liberating Ray's work is. He writes from a unique perspective that even his opponents must admit has given him an authoritative insight.

I kept thinking as I was reading "the man who wrote these books also wrote so many of the Watchtower articles I grew up with."
Far from being angry I respected him for it - he had the guts to admit he'd been wrong in the past and this was his way of putting right some of the damage - now that's humbling!

Depressing?
That so many continue to exercise self-censorship and ignore the real truth. That so many more will suffer needlessly on hospital wards, in judicial hearings and at the hands of brothers whom so many wrongly consider to be trustworthy!

God bless you Ray!

Twas a long and boring afternoon
In the noble kingdom of heaven.
God and all his glorious angels
Had been drinking since eleven.

They sat around the local pub,
Draped over tables and stools.
In the corner a game of Monopoly raged
With a quarrel about the rules.

God smugly sipped upon his pint,
While his Arcangels danced around.
Satan had just landed on Mayfair,
And now owed one thousand pounds.

“Come on, mate, you owe me rent,”
The great creator grinned.
“That’ll be one grand.” God chortled,
As he paused to pass some wind.

“You must be joking, you pompous git,”
Satan rose swiftly from his stool,
“You’ve been cheating all the bleeding time,
D’you take me for a fool?”

“Cheat?” God roared, and his angels cried
“How dare you accuse us of that?
“God is the supreme being itself,
And you’re just a snivelling prat!”

“I’ve seen you sneaking hotels on
To properties with only three houses.
You’ve also been hiding £500 notes
Deep within your trousers!”

“Oh don’t talk crap!” God shouted back,
“You don’t know how to play.
I created all the rules,
And I have the final say!”

With that, Satan’s temper finally snapped,
He swept the board into the air,
The playing pieces hit God in the face,
And he toppled from his chair.

“You little bastard!” Jehovah cried
As he leapt from the bar room floor.
“You’ll regret that for the rest of your life!
Angels! Throw him out the door!”

Before poor Satan could answer back,
His collar had been clasped.
He was whisked towards the pub front door
And thrown out upon his arse.

Several of his closest chums
Leapt to his defence.
But they were no match for the Angels of God,
And out they also went.

So Satan and all his bestest mates
Were kicked out of the glorious kingdom.
They tumbled and spiralled down through space,
Without a penny between them.

Miserable and lost, they drifted around,
Looking for somewhere to dwell.
Until at last they came across
The vacant property of Hell.

“What about this place?” Moloch asked,
Peering inside the door.
“S’pose it’s allright, Satan sniffed,
Not too keen on the fiery décor.

As if from nowhere, a landlord appeared,
Bearing his contract aloft.
“£80 a week,” he growled
“No smokers and no dogs.”

Grumbling a bit, and scratching heads,
The reluctant ex-angels signed it.
They moved themselves in the very next day,
And claimed for Housing Benefit.

A few millennia drifted past,
The ex-angels wallowed sadly.
They had nothing to fill their boring days,
And they wanted revenge quite badly.

Eventually, Satan had a cunning plot
To place himself on God’s seat.
“I’m sick of that smug bastard,” he spat,
“Let’s stitch him up a treat.”

“Are you sure that’s wise?” Beelzebub asked,
“You know what happened before.”
“He gave you a right good kicking,
And threw you out on the floor.”

“This time it won’t be like that,”
Satan gathered around him his clan.
“Now listen carefully, you pathetic gimps,
This is my excellent plan!”

AAAAAAAH!

‘DIVORCE HIT' SUSPECT IS BACK IN BX.

By LARRY CELONA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

August 14, 2001 -- A Bronx hit man was back in New York yesterday to face murder charges for killing a man who refused to divorce his wife, police said.
Hector Rodriguez, 26, was arrested in Florida Thursday, and police brought him back to New York Sunday night.

Cops say his client, Bronx school secretary Gloria Rodriguez, hired him to rub out her 37-year-old husband, William.

Cops nabbed Hector, who is not related to the couple, when he went to pick up the remainder of his fee at a Western Union office in Spring Hill, Fla., near Tampa, where he fled after the murder, investigators said.

The hit man ambushed William on a Bronx street near his home Aug. 6, police said.

Cops said Gloria met Hector about 18 months ago and they dated briefly. Several weeks ago, she called him and offered to pay him to kill her husband because he was a devout Jehovah's Witness who did not believe in divorce, investigators said.

She allegedly gave Hector $1,000 up front and he was set to collect $3,000 to $6,000 more when he was arrested.

The two have been charged with first- and second-degree murder, manslaughter, conspiracy and criminal facilitation.
