Who Most Closely Resembles Ray Franz in Terms of Beliefs, Conclusions and Personality?
by headisspinning inokay, so i am a born-in and as many of you know almost finished reading 'crisis of conscience'... .
it disturbs me greatly that ray has passed on because i would love to talk to him.. i guess, i am so used to following someone or something that i feel like i'm floundering... i don't know... i guess i really want someone to tell me 'the way'.. from ray's writing i would be more than happy to seriously examine the conclusions he came to and his own beliefs.. i just don't know which way to turn now.
from reading his book i greatly respect him and damnit... why did he have to leave?.

Ray ROCKS!
by headisspinning inwell, i am almost finished reading crisis of conscience... i have a few pages left and i have to say that my eyes have been opened.
i am going to order ray's second book from freeminds.
maybe not right away.... might try to let it all sink in and process.... does anyone have a concise comment on what ray's final beliefs were before he died?

I'm Now A Member Of JwTalk.net.
by Philadelphia Ponos into my surprise my membership was approved for jwtalk.net, which is to my knowledge the only forum with "real" jws.
after reading through a few threads it appears that these jws believe in the watchtower 100% and i don't see any signs of doubt or borderline apostate comments like some other past pro-jw forums.
are any of you guys members of jwtalk.net and actively posting.

WOW...Watching 20/20 about Independent Baptist Cult...
by jamiebowers inreferred to on this thread:.
http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/208507/1/a-religious-sub-culture-that-many-americans-have-never-heard-of-yet-which-has-thousands-of-churches-across-the-country-churches-that-critics-claim-can-foster-physical-and-sexual-abuse-on-abc-news-20-20.
i wonder how many jws are watching this show and see the many similarities to the watchtower..
