Hi Tophat,
I honestly respect your faith in Jesus and in God, but to recommend a theology to somebody, a theology that you cannot prove true... is that right?

Evaluating Raymond Franz

what do you think of ray(mond) franz?

i have seen here some people critisise him as not being a really heartfelt opponent of the wts, but my view is that he was quite honest about his expressed motives against the cult.

with his revelations he gave a lot of momentum to the ex jw movement (the apostate organisation according to the jws) and offered valuable assistance to those seeking to shake off the ideological and social dependance on the oppressive cult.

I could never say anything against Ray since he released me from the chains of the WT. I once emailed him and got a nice response. I don't agree with his theology but I owe him a hell of a lot.

Once I remember the PO tell me that I hadn't reported for last month yet, so I said 'oh. ok', I walked to the back, took out the report sheet and asked a fellow 'brother' to name a number between 10 and 20 - he had no idea and said (cant remember now) lets say 13 - and I wrote that one down instead.

hi guys .

well recently i was watching a documentary called 'the new atlantis' concerning america's beginnings.

Thanks for the link Ann, i'm checking that out
Leo, he seems to think that the Gnostic thinkers only began to surface after Jesus, and were influenced by the Egyptians...

Hi guys
Well recently I was watching a documentary called 'The New Atlantis' concerning America's beginnings.
The documentary clearly has a pro-Christian agenda, and one line in particular stood out for me. The narrator claims:
"'known for rejecting the Gospels, the Gnostics claim to be the 'real Christians', an issue the apostles argued against in the New Testament'"
Now the issue I brought up was concerning the Gnostics rejecting the Gospels. I argued that it was the Gnostics who came first and actually influenced Christianity, not the other way round.
The producer/script writer has replied to my question, by saying:
"By no means did the Gnostics come first -- and certainly not the Gnostic gospels. The Gnostics simply do not exist until after the coming of Jesus Christ and the preaching of the original gospel message. Why? Because the Gnostics came out of Alexandria, Egypt and were part of the Egyptian mystery schools. Gnosticism is what happens when you combine the Pagan mysteries with Christianity. This is the same principle involved in Roman Catholicism, Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism. It is simply untrue to say that the Gnostic gospels came first"
But is he right? I may well be mistaken for the Gnostic gospels came first claim (that which I never actually said) but I am convinced that the Gnostic Christians were in operation before Christ - not so much worshiping Jesus, but someone very similar to him. This is why early Church fathers readily admitted this fact.
Can anybody please shed some light on this for me? Your brains will be very much appreciated.

Hi Ian,
this has already been reported on in another couple of posts! Just to let you know... personally I think it's a load of rubbish - sensationalism.
