  i posted what follows elsewhere but thought it might be of interest here as well.

  my forst posting here so i apologize in advance if this is not in the correct place.. a tribute to ray franz (on what would have been his 98th birthday) and to ed dunlap, his collaborator.

  last week would have marked the 98th birthday of a man for whom most of us here have high regard.

  Everybody loves Raymond

  a while ago the user vinman started a forum thread called: "ray franz was an idiot".

  the reaction to it was quite negative but i have to admit that the title of that thread was intriguing to me.

  by nature i am an iconoclast.

  The Significance of Raymond Victor Franz

  the significance of raymond franz.

  in the light of the passing of raymond franz this week, it is clear from the reaction that many were affected by the deeds of this man.

  while he was called gentle by those who knew him (for the record, i never got to meet him personally) his reputation preceded him both in the ex jehovah's witness community, and still to this day at the world headquarters of jehovah's witnesses.. while his writings were indeed fair and reasonable, (i challenge anyone to read his books and find bitterness associated with him toward his former peers) i think it would be a mistake to remember ray franz as somewhat of a gentle, doting old man.

  My personal thoughts on Ray Franz

  by Terry in

  the death of ray franz hit me harder than i would have thought.. i had to reflect for awhile....alone......and quietly.. .

  after all, fine people die every day and some of them are indispensable, yet, we go on....don't we?.

  but, ray franz was something that can only be described in the phrase sui generis (one of a kind).. my task was to ask myself what it was that made ray so singular, potent and admirable without a trace of scandal or ill will attached to his memory.. .
