Raymond Franz

Thanks for your sincere service to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. For your courage, for the books, for everything. Loving regards to the Franz family, from Brazil.

Standing up for truth regardless of consequences is an indication of real faith, love of God and His Son! He inspired so many including myself to separate from the organization that refused to be guided fully by the Holy Word! He´s gone home to be with the Lord and there is no greater blessing!

In shadows deep, where doubts arise, A heart of courage starts to rise, Raymond Franz, a soul unbowed, Against the tide, he spoke aloud. Within the fold of JW's grasp, He questioned doctrines firm and fast, A conscience strong, a spirit true, To principles he would stay true. With courage bold, he dared to see, Beyond the rules, to set minds free, He faced the storm, a daunting quest, For truth and justice, he'd invest. In midst of doubt, he took a stand, To honor...

I was thinking about Raymond's two books that helped me leave the organization in 2000. In looking the books up, I found out that Ray had passed. I'm so sorry. My sincere condolences to his family. I never met Ray but will be forever grateful to this courageous man for helping me out of the organization. I'm now more spiritually alive then I have ever been thanks to him. I'm sure he is very busy in heaven right now and full of vim and vigor once again.

Dear Cynthia, I am so sorry for your loss. I was so grateful to read Crisis of Conscience, at a time when I had no one and was so scared and didn't know where to turn, that book truly helped save me. I'm forever indebted.

Thank you, Raymond, for giving me permission to ask my questions.
