  My Memories of Bethel in the Franz Era - part one

  by Dogpatch in

  2. friends

  food was passed from one side and if you were #10 you may not get too much to eat!

  when i finally did, she was not at all interested.

  but i was lucky it didnt work out, for she never would have left the watchtower.

  To Anyone at Bethel-Please pick up Ray's Torch

  by WalkTall in

  2. friends

  i did not think it was possible to grieve for someone you have never met.

  but i feel such an overwhelming sadness at the loss of ray.

  i did receive kind replies to two emails that i sent him, but i never had the pleasure to meet the man.

  my thoughts on ray franz.

  living down here in the backwoods of alabama, we were privy to very little of what was going on in wt world.

  most of us never heard about the shake-up at headquarters during the 80's.

  ...while a WTBTS GB member can die and few know of it, even within the WTBTS, when a man like Mr. Franz dies... it is international news and sorrow...

  1. watchtower

  in february of 2009 i slipped a letter of conscience under the doormat of my former book study conductor who was out of town.

  that letter was written because i could not support a portion of the materials that constantly was featured in wts literature.

  at the time i was a sister in good standing.

  in their ruthless quest to make us speak the "pure language", they reduced us to a monosyllabic groan.

  Wow, what a great quote! And thank you so very much for your letters.

  (As a side note, I wonder if you might want to mark out your address? Just as an online concern.)

  Love,

  most of the emails that i receive from jws are short and to the point - i am wrong and jehovah will soon exact vengeance on me.

  they never identify where i am wrong.

  here is a typical one.

  Paul, your responses were excellent. I hope Donna will see through the blinding light of fear and defensiveness someday soon.
