    Just wondering what teachings Ray Franz denounced after leaving the borg. I think he never strayed from the Trinity issue??

    His basic disagreements were with the Society's claims about its leaders being specially appointed by God as spokesmen, and about being practically inspired. He also castigated them for their gross dishonesty, lack of adherence to many Christian principles, hypocrisy, heavy-handedness in dealing with dissent, and general disregard for the well being of rank & file JWs. Otherwise, he seems to adhere to many JW ideas.

    Ray disagrees with just about every Watchtower doctrine. This is covered in great detail in his second book, "In Search of Christian Freedom". He totally renounces their bogus chronology, the two-class Christian precept (which was a MAJOR behind-the-scene issue in the 1980 headquarters shake-up--see http://www.xjw.com/where.html ). He does not believe in salvation through an organization of any kind.

    While he continues to be a Bible believing Christian, about the only thing he still agrees with the WT on is their Adventist stand regarding the trinity, soul, and hell doctrines, and their political neutrality, which is similar to the stand of quite a number of former JWs.
