  Ray Franz's book , just a pack of lies?

  by sleepy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  my wife is very sceptical of ray franz's book coc.. what i want to know is this , has the society ever shown that the events described in that book are false and the letters or statments quoted are false?

  i feel their silence on the matter speaks for itself.. has the society ever sued any so called apostate writer for lies in their books?.

  i personaly dont agree with all the critacism about jehovahs witnesses and understand that ray's slant on matters may not always be unbiased (who ever is?

  sleepy,

  I remember saying the same thing back in 1989 when COC was handed to me, of course I had not read it before making the comment about it being a pack of lies. I was just parroting what the Society wanted every good rank and file JW to say when confronted with information exposing the WT.

  Proverbs 18:13 When anyone is replying to a matter before he hears [it], that is foolishness on his part and a humiliation.

  As far as someone being sued for writing anything factual exposing the WT, I am not aware of any cases.

  Ray did quote many lies and deceptions in COC from the WT though, so your wife is right in this regard.

  :i welcome those of your quality of character and refusal to sink into the mire of atheism or deep cynicism, .

  i found these words to be so interesting.

  i have seen posts (albeit few) that discuss the bible and whether or not it is of god.

  Abaddon,

  I never said I did not make spelling mistakes as you falsely claim. I did mispell skepticism in two post, good job, you found them. I saw them before you mentioned it and did not correct them because I thought it no big deal, obviousely you did.

  I am glad you totally agree with me that I did not commit fruad by claiming to be Skeptical about a skeleton, thank you for seeing things my way.

  Take care

  Abaddon,

  Is there no end to your state of confusion?

  Get out a dictionary and try again. I am right in the spelling of the word Skepticism and its use.

  Fraud= 1.deciet or trickery 2. a particular instance of deciet or trickery 3. a deceitful person; imposter.

  Now Abaddon, how have I been decietful or tricked you in any way? Please be specific.

  Maybe that skeleton can fall under this catagory of fraud. Notice I said "maybe". Don't want you confused any more than you are already.

  Abaddon,

  You said I am the one throwing around allegations of fraud. Where?

  When has skeptism become fraud. Look the words up in your dictionary. The words do not mean the same.

  Norm,

  When did creation become a myth? PLease do not refer to the Bible, I would like your opinion without refering to the Bible.
  Do you have faith of any kind and in whom or what?

  2. friends

  local church websites, with their email addresses, can be located using search engines.. copy and forward:.

  stop jehovah's witnesses from trespassing .

  christians frequently complain that jws have interrupted their family's christmas morning, thanksgiving day meal, or simply their saturday morning sleep-in.

  MadApostate,

  Anything is worth a try. If there are Pastors that are willing to circulate this and there are people willing to sign it, then it is worth the effort.

  If you are interested, you might check this site out. It is another way to stop the door knockers.

  Cult Fighters are short sighted fools

  by proplog2 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the anti-cultists are narrow minded and uninformed to say the least.. you see a lot of this here.

  it is mostly a cover for irrational hatred.

  most religions organized in a way that they expected their members to take their beliefs seriously.

  proplog2,

  I agree with you, we should not use that dirty cult word to expose those deceitful cults. We should be more diplomatic. We should use words to discribe these deceitful cults like, Pseudo Christian religion. What about, Lost Souls on Bikes (Mormons). I can think of more but I am sure you get the picture for a more politically correct term for cult. We don't want to label anyone or any religion or organization with words that describe them to a tee, do we?

  Norm,

  Note taken. I understand that a theory can be a fact. This can apply to many things, including those that believe creation to be a theory. Just because they may not believe that there is a creator and may refer to creation as a theory, does not discount that creation can be a fact.
