    From diamondddiiz link:

    Article 24

    "Every man is free to pursue the religious belief that best suits him, and to practice its ceremonies, devotions or cults, as long as they do not constitute a crime. Congress cannot dictate laws that establish or abolish any given religion. Ordinarily, all religious acts will be practiced in temples, and those that extraordinarily are practiced outside temples must adhere to law." This article also establishes that religious institutions be subject to limits of ownership of land as dictated by the national government (whereby the government may declare such property part of the national legacy), to prevent the kind of situation experienced in the past which the Catholic churches and monasteries also owned large areas around them, in many cases entire villages.

    Apparently Ray Franz is responsible for the 1975 teaching too according to one of my JW friends. It seems he is being used as a useful scapegoat for all the problem doctrines. Ray may have been on the writing committee but not the service committee or translation department so how he could be responsible beats me.

    Unfortunately some people will cling to any excuse to justify why they still follow the religon.
