Ray Franz And Things That Are Too Hard To Handle.
by Englishman ini see that ray franz is coming in for a fair bit of criticism due to his apparrant unwillingness to accept that jw's had a problem with the existence of child abuse when he was a member of the gb.
also, it would appear that ray is being chided for his belief in the rule of 2 witnesses before action can be taken against an abuser.
it seems to me that it is quite likely that ray wasn't aware that there was a serious abuse problem within the society when he was a member of the gb, if only for the reason that ray would find such an activity so detestable that he would believe it to be a virtually impossible act for anyone to perpetrate.

I'm in love with a witness
by Gig ini'm new to this forum and have been reading all these topics and posts and kind of getting to know some of you.
i've always purposely avoided anti-witness or ex-witness opinion before but i'm tired and am looking for an end to it all.
like it says, i am very much in love with a witness, and she is very much in love with me.

We All Are Just Going To Die.....FYI
by minimus indo you know why so many people are leaving the "truth"?
it's because they all figured out that they really were going to die.
once a witness understands that millions now living will indeed die, they begin to regress from the witness spirituality.

Looking at the road ahead
by kenpodragon inthis last summer i was driving with my wife to colorado to visit a national park we always read about.
we had the bright idea of driving in the night, and avoiding traffic.
as we looked at the map to plan our trip, we saw that we would be driving through a lot of territory with little or no towns along the way to stop at.
