So Ray Franz is still alive then, right? As I read his book and came to know the man he was/is, I grew to really like him. He is a man with character and integrity and honor. Can't say that about a whole lot of people these days. Where does Mr. Franz live? Anyone know? Would love to send him a letter.

I am on the last chapter of this book! I can hardly put it down. Have you all read it? Up til now I thought it was ME...I thought I had a problem with the legalism, of making mans rules into Gods laws so to speak. To find that someone of his standing with his years of experience as a JW and with as much bible studying as he had throughout the years- someone like that felt the same way, ....well it leaves me speechless and somehow "validates" my own thoughts I have had all these years. Make sense?

King from the North
by Cheyannesways inprior to 1978 did the jw's use daniel 11 about the king from the north and the king from the south to imply this was signs of the great tribulation coming or signs of the end?

Thanks Kim. But "looking inside" has not provided me with any strong answers in the past 20 years.
I did wind up at a Baptist church one cold wet Tuesday night in the outskirts of Dalls, TX. I was "saved" that night. I know ever since then I am more "open" mentally to ideas and concepts that I would have shut out before.
I know "looking inside" though, isn't the answer for me. At least not in its entirity. I have gravitated toward the concept that there isn't really a RIGHT religion, only many good people wanting to serve God. Then those old teachings of childhood from the JW days pops into my head....so I continue being a seeker, wandering ...fairly aimlessly....
Thanks for your post though. -

Ok, I'll take the plunge. I am new here. I was never baptised. But was "raised in the truth". I left home at 16. I am now 40 years old and for the first 20 years after leaving home, I couldn't set foot in any church (you all know why). I didn't go to the KH because I didn't like the amount of control that I felt the elders and the guys up at Bethel had over the JW's...I mean over the "little" things...things that are not in the bible that shouldn't be anyones' business, yet they dictated it (ie: going to college, no beards,...oral sex,....etc)... Anyway, I wanted to say hello and not be a "lurker" anymore. I actually did post a couple posts prior to this one, so I was just a semi-lurker. I have a question for you all though. Are any of you "stuck" in what is the "right way" to live? I mean, I am not alltogether sure the JW's don't have the truth...I just "don't think they do", because of the amount of control I see in within their group. Maybe there is no "right" religion....I just wish I knew for sure.

I am so sorry guys, I lost my link to this site and once I found it, it made me sign in new again. So here I am as Cheyannesways instead of just plain Cheyanne.
I just today am reading these posts. I lived in Buchanan from '74-'78. Any of you there then? -
