    Hello everybody I was just wondering if anybody knows how Raymond Franz is doing or how he is continuing his life outside of the org.

    Steady on! First posts are usually less demanding, but to answer the question, I'd suggest you write and ask him.

    Seems to me I talked with him about six months or so ago. I asked him how he was doing and we talked about our ages. (I'm in my forties). Then Ray said, " Your forties are the old age of your youth, and your fifties are the youth of your old age". Very wise indeed.

    Welcome Oscar :

    Ray Franz has been doing very well outside of the org. Have you read his books ? Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom. You can order them here :

    "Ray Franz has been doing very well outside of the org. Have you read his books ? Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom."

    I'd like to read these but I cannot easily order them - I'm a teacher working in China.

    But can anyone tell me, is Ray trying to do anything to expose the internal hypocrisy of the WTBS?

    His books do that, just by explaining how things work inside Brooklyn and the organization.

    That's what the books are about!

    It's a shame you can't access them from China. Could you order them from a USA address and have them mailed to you? Just a thought.

    Cheers, Ozzie

    Yes Steve those are indeed wise words from Ray Franz regarding age, I have read both of his books and I must say that they were great in exposing the org. and I have so much respect for him in that after doing so much time and duty with the org. he was able to leave and write two fantastic books that have helped so many people.

    Man, I read Crisis of Conscience in like three days. Couldn't put it down. It's a must read for former JW's.

    Steve,

    ISOCF is a must read too! He helpsyou appraise the dub doctrines and leads you through them. Fascinating!

    BTW a recent addition to the exDub library is "The Four Presidenst of the Watch Tower Society" edited by Edmund Glass. Get it from Freeminds.
