  My personal thoughts on Ray Franz

  by Terry in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  the death of ray franz hit me harder than i would have thought.. i had to reflect for awhile....alone......and quietly.. .

  after all, fine people die every day and some of them are indispensable, yet, we go on....don't we?.

  but, ray franz was something that can only be described in the phrase sui generis (one of a kind).. my task was to ask myself what it was that made ray so singular, potent and admirable without a trace of scandal or ill will attached to his memory.. .

  I have two reel2reel tapes of Ray from the 70’s. I don’t think anyone has ever listened to them. I am planning to convert them for upload.

  I am a little disappointed. It's been up and down and up and down with this tape.

  It turns out that somebody did in fact record over most of Freaky Freddy Franz.

  Here's he link. Freddy for about 8 mins until the tape is taped over.

  Obviously it was in Canada. Most likely Woodbine. Which means I was there.

  I say Canada, because that is Kenneth Little introducing Freddy. I'd recognize ken anywhere.

  I was about to prepare the talk and found that the file, about 5 min in, was no longer Franz.

  I thought... damn. Some turkey over taped it.

  Turns out the tape is fine. A certain youthful member of my family flicked the "TRACK" switch during the transfer and whatever was on the other track was on the file.

  So, I got to do it over tomorrow.

  Resolute

  I just finished recording the talk and the rest of the assembly from that year off the tape onto the computer.

  By the way, Nathan Knorr is on it too from what I heard. And I believe that FW Franz is introduced by none other than Kenneth A. Little from the Canada branch. Good 'ol Ken. He's looking very old these days, but get's around pretty good and can still schmooze. (I'll let you wonder Ken....)

  As soon as I am able to move it to the correct location on the network, I will edit the long recording and get the talk, and put it up. I am hoping that since it was from later in the year, that Franz hangs himself a little better by saying even more stupid stuff. You know, he believed his own crap.

  By the way, I am still freaked out that he announced the date at the beginning of his talk TWICE and the date was May 11, 1975 exactly 45 years ago today.

  Spalsh. Thank you very much. I was not aware of Lett's big mouth. I downloaded it and I will use it.

  The dude from NY that did the ZOOM talk last Sunday contradicted Lett on every point.

  Lett makes the xcuse for the Gb that they are overzealous like a smoke detector.

  But NY dude took another tack, lying about it entirely.

  It can't be both ways.

  BTW where did you get that talk?

  I have a big plastic bin full of tapes. It's going to be awhile.

  But I am happy that I stumbled upon Franz's infamous talk.

  I want to say that the internet is having its effect. Bigtime.

  For the WTS to put this dude up to this task of lying the society out from under, all these years later, it means that there are witnesses fining out about 1975 and it's starting to sting.

  And they want to program the lie, ahead of time, into the wee tiny dub brains that the Society was clean and that "some" brothers were the propagators. So when dubs hear about 1975, say at work or FS, they shrug it off, as "some" weak apostates were responsible.

  And by the way, in this new talk, the NY dude starts off talking about Paul and the 1st century Governing body on the one hand vs the 2 apostates of the 1st century on the other. So already you know the two groups. Then, he says we must trust "the slave" always, the one group, and after he goes on to start with 1914,1925 and finally 1975 blaming it on the other group, the "some".

  You need to hear this talk. After your blood boils, you will know that they are hurting to go full on LIE TIME

  Wow, you got lots. Impressive,

  Up on my old Sony deck now.

  F.W. Franz. His theme “Times in which we are particularly interested.”

  The date, May 11,1975

  The anniversary is tomorrow. Incredible.

  I know the day because the time machine lunatic announces it at the outset.

  Has anyone heard any part of this talk?

  Ding.

  ding a ling. You remember, so you are my senior by some measure.

  All that 75 crap didn't matter to me at the time. I really didn't gather it.

  But I felt the effects.

  Likewise, would be cool to talk.
