In my opinion, this illustrates how very important it is for people to read Steve Hassan's first book. I just had a family member who HAS read CoC and had determined the Borg is NOT God's organization revert to cult mode and tell me, 'even though I know what I have read about the organization, they are still the ones who taught us the truth.' So to anybody who has not read it yet: It really is worth every minute of your time ! The whole matter of his disfellowshipping sounded very similar to the trial of Jesus. Of course, not everything he says he can show a document for it, but the amount of evidence he could produce was a surprise for me.Įven the correspondence after his disfellowshipping about the recorded tapes show how misleading and unfair the WTS can get if somebody is in their way. I did not expect such a well documented and well written account. Recently though, i got the chance to read it myself, and I was blown away. There is always another side of the story, another viewpoint, that is not presented. Personally I did not doubt, that what he wrote would be true, but I thought, it would not help somebody to get out, because, its his personal experience, which proves nothing in the end.

Therefore, even though I learned about 'Crisis of Conscience' I did not bother reading it. Personal experiences I took with a grain of salt.

When i was fully in, I never even heard of Ray Franz or his books.Īfter learning the truth about the truth, what woke me up, was in the first place the inconsistency of doctrine, the missing logic and the bending of the scripture to fit their theology.
