Ray Franz And Things That Are Too Hard To Handle.

by Englishman in

i see that ray franz is coming in for a fair bit of criticism due to his apparrant unwillingness to accept that jw's had a problem with the existence of child abuse when he was a member of the gb.

also, it would appear that ray is being chided for his belief in the rule of 2 witnesses before action can be taken against an abuser.

it seems to me that it is quite likely that ray wasn't aware that there was a serious abuse problem within the society when he was a member of the gb, if only for the reason that ray would find such an activity so detestable that he would believe it to be a virtually impossible act for anyone to perpetrate.

I think BEFORE I started posting here Venice might have typed this story about what happened to me at one of the last doors I ever went to. Although it was quite embarrassing........ it is NOT why I left the organization.

I was by myself at a door. The home had a Woodpecker as a door-knocker. You pulled this string downward which caused the beak of the woodpecker to strike a piece of wood which would make a knocking~peck sound. (Why didn't I just knock???) So, I start yanking on this string and the woodpecker starts doin' his thing and I'll be damned if his beak and head didn't break off!!!!!! Right about the time I'm bending down to pick up poor Mr.Woodpeckers pieces off of the ground, the householder opens the door. I was so startled and upset that I had broke this man's door~knocker; I look up at him with woodpecker's head in hand and say, "Your pecker fell off"!!!
OMG!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe how embarrassed I was, he of course died laughing and said,"I hate it when that happens".
Thank God he had a sense of humor about the whole thing but I COULD NOT (after that) go on with my presentation and asked if I might come back at a different time. LOL What a f---ing moron; to this day I cannot believe that I said something soo stupid.

I hope that you all enjoy and find the humor in this. Everyone in the car group did.

Watchtower and Community Service

if in fact, the recent donation of blood therapy equipment(refrenced in the link above) is a new chapter in watchtower community service i will be the first to applaud them.

however, i will reserve a negative attitude about accepting this action as a genuine act of altruism on the part fo the society.. how many of us, during our jw days participated in something as simple as a "walk-a-thon"?

You are DEAD ON!! That's exactly what it is: a publicity stunt. Just so they can publish it in there literature and speak of it in the media.

They make me SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOO

Is just my opinion. This Country is supposedly all about Freedom. I for one wouldn't want other countries to follow suit if the US were to do such a thing. I enjoy the freedom that is allowed and don't want to be confined to ONLY the US. Just a thought.
