Of course the posts by or via M733 (M for Messier Object, I presume, in
this context - but who is (s)he?) correctly indicate that "GB" (ros4gb) is
a fake. It staggers me that "GB" was ever taken seriously: naivete (PGP
does not support accented characters; sorry) seems to be more of a problem
on H2O than in alt.religion.jehovahs-witn! I sincerely remind disgruntled
JWs that it was naivete, and lack of skepticism, that may have got them
into the mess in the first place...

There is more.

Who has VALIDATED that these M733 posts contained material written by
Raymond Franz?

Ray was one of the few at Bethel who wrote so well that I seldom was (not
"was seldom"!) able to detect any errors (however small) at all!

In the light of the foregoing, please consider
http://www.hourglass2.org/wwwboard/messages/188790.html
from which I quote but one paragraph - the last one - by way of example:-
"Again, the various points set out are to make clear my personal feelings
about this matter and not to try to enforce them on others. In this as in
everything else people can do, and are free to do, as they wish. The
responsibility for the resulting consequences is also theirs."

Now, in the first sentence, correct is "are set out" or similar. "set out
are" is incorrect.

In the second sentence, "as in everything else" should be delimited by
commas. A desire to punctuate is made clear by the second part of the
sentence.

And in the third sentence, "theirs" is clearly wrong. To begin that
sentence with the "also" would appear to be more like Ray's style.

No great conclusions by me... just puzzled.

Ray, if it was you, and you see this, do forgive me - you may have typed
the answer in haste, or perhaps the errors arose in transcription - but
you can understand my concern. If what I have written gives you any
suspicion as to my identity, please keep your conclusions strictly to
yourself. And - my sincere love and good wishes for your future. You would
appreciate my dilemma better than most.

If it was not Ray - please, can the deception stop?

The Watchtower and the Creed of the Jehovah's Witnesses is a SHAM and a
LIE and a FRAUD from start to finish - it has ruined many lives, and
continues on its rotten, wayward course - which is why it MUST BE STOPPED
FROM CONTINUING THIS - OR, PREFERABLY, JUST STOPPED.

Love

Prominent Bethelite.
