I think this is pretty much the very first post I've ever started. I've been lurking since Sept. 11th of last year and hope to soon work up the courage to post "my own story".
Like pretty much everyone else, I've been following the developing Dateline story. I hope it becomes a catalyst for change within the organization, or, at the very least, provides the necessary momentum for many of the doubting to leave the organization.
I'm optimistic of this, and yet, deep down in my heart, I just don't see many of the Witnesses paying much attention. I do think, however, those outside the organization will take note and it will be a poor reflection upon the Witnesses.
Anyhow, a question ... unless I've missed it somewhere, I haven't seen anyone say anything to the effect of what Ray Franz thinks about all of these recent developments. Has anyone talked to him about this? I'm curious as to what he thinks.
Take care, friends.
