Scientologit and mormon apostates
by zound indoes anyone find it odd that it seems there's less of a vocal apostate movement for scientology and mormons.
i'm getting this from google - i can't seem to find any majour forums like this one, or websites that are regularly updated exposing doctrines etc.. there is stuff out there, but from my search at least it doesn't seem to be as much as jw's.. strange considering mormons have 13 mill (?).
scientologists 'claim' 8 mill.. .

Ray Franz picture in Watchtower publications
by zound ini remember as a kid (in the late 80's early 90's) seeing ray franz picture in some kind of publication and being told by my mother that he was a gb member that became an apostate and wrote a book.. does anyone know what publication this could have been?
i haven't been able to find it anywhere..

Imitate the Angels (GB talk)
by zound ina fairly interesting talk - he also gave it or a similar one for bethel graduation talks.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdaz8cb0uck.
a few things that stuck out to me:.
he begins by saying that we have to be careful when imitating humans as they are imperfect - but we can imitate everything about angels as they are perfect.

In Search of Christian Freedom
by zound ini'm an athiest.. i've read coc and heard that in search of christian freedom is more about debunking scriptural things the jw's believe.
with respect to ray franz, i'm not so interested in this as i view it as debunking one fairy tale to believe another fairytale.. but to people who've read it is there any other info therein that i might find interesting?
more info about what goes on in the gb, or ray's comments on particular decisions or scandals.. if it's 100% focusing on biblical nonsense i'm not too keen on ordering it - but if there's other stuff in it i might..
