Ray did what no other source could do -- gave a firsthand account of what was really going on behind the scenes at the GB.
Everyone else could speculate, but Ray pulled back the curtain.
Did Ray Franz Help You To Get Out of “The Truth”?

Nathan , I take it you are not a fan of Ray.! He wasn’t perfect (like us) but I think he was a wonderful example of someone who courageously left it all because he couldn’t be a hypocrite

I was at a fairground together with some other JW and had a discussion at a booth of Christian missionaries there. In our discussion they pointed to Ray Franz and also the some tapes. I tried to find it and it was years later that I read CoC secretly in a public library. Later I ordered the book online and also the tapes from freeminds.

I first heard of Ray Franz when I saw a piece about his expulsion in "Time" magazine in 1982. I hadn't been in long at that point, so of course I discounted everything he had to say in that interview, but it did plant a seed that, perhaps, things in Brooklyn weren't as spirit-begotten as I'd been led to believe. I left of my own accord six years later, and never really thought aboit Ray Franz again until 1996, when I first ran into Randy Watters' website and saw an article about "The Franz Incident." That piqued my interest, amnd when I finally did read CofC I developed great respect for the man, What would really be interesting is for someone to write a modern-day CofC. All I know about the current GB bunch is what I read here, and it sounds like someone really needs to do a definitive insider expose for the "2.0" generation.
