i just received word that ray franz passed away today at 1:37 pm eastern daylight time.
the cause of death is stated as head trauma, likely due to falling to the ground, and a stroke could have also been part of the cause or a result of the fall.
he died at emory university hospital in atlanta about 17 minutes after being taken off life support.

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.

Gee Donna if you ever read this 'HI' ..... we luvs you even though right now you hate us!
I completely disagree. I don't "luvs" her at all. I hope she gets out of the religion, but even if she gets out I wouldn't ever want to meet her. Even within a cult, people have different core personalities. This one sounds completely vile.
When I was at my most indoctrinated I wouldn't have considered saying things like this.
Disgusting. This sort of communication isn't as much about Jehovah's Witnesses as it is about an awful woman called Donna.
i've always been told that i have a very good personality, that i'm humorous, etc.. one elder called me over and said that i was "smiling too much".
the other elders talked to the elder who counseled me and he came back to say that i should be like i was .

I forgot to say, what a fucking cult.

Control, control, control.
If there is one thing we should learn from the Jehovah's Witness expereience and teach to our children it's that NOBODY has the right to control you.
you guys remember the show third rock from the sun?
if you don't, a group of aliens take on human bodies and pose as a family on earth.
they try to fit in but get things wrong and hilarity ensues.. yesterday my family celebrated easter.
Thanksgiving is completely weird. Giving thanks for your life by killing a large and beautiful bird, plucking all its feathers out, roasting it in an oven and then stuffing yourself full of its flesh? Sorry, that doesn't make much sense to me at all.
I think there are maybe a few better ways to give thanks for your life than by eating a lovely bird after disemboweling it.
i'd really appreciate a few minutes of your time to have a look at my forthcoming book called : the end is nigh...again (but this time we really mean it.).
unlike many books about this subject it isn't dry or serious.
i've kept it light and aim to laugh at the craziness of that unlikely faith.
I stopped reading after the third mention of your male anatomy, sorry.
I completely agree with this. That jolted me upright a few times. One mention of genitals in an unrelated context is one mention too many. Three mentions (I think I counted four actually) is simply weird.
The sentences are certainly too long. But otherwise Douglas, I wish you the best with your intentions. Hope you heal, brother, and hope you get edited and published.
i believe it's very republican in its outlook..
Okay, I guess I couldn't have hoped for a serious answer.
i've seen experiences shared that jws have a hard time admitting that they are the only ones to survive the big-a and everyone else, including innocent infants are to be slaughtered.. that should be an easy one-two punch rebuttal, i think.. q1: is there anyone practicing false religion and worshiping a false god going to survive armageddon?.
q2: does anyone else, except the jws have the true religion?.
jw answers: no,no.. .
Do the best you can for humanity.
Um, no, that's not what the JW's teach. They teach that their God is about to wipe out most of humanity.

This is all assuming that a Big A with elite survivors is going to happen. Doesn't make any sense to me.
this is my plea to active jehovah's witnesses attending the district convention who are about to hear the change of the generation doctrine.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crc2i4xt32a.

hope everyone enjoys it..
Keep preaching, no matter how converted the choir is.
Sensible. Eloquent. Good work, Tim.
