Adam and Louise discuss the fourth president of Watchtower Society, Fred Franz, and his nephew Ray who became the only member of the governing body to become an apostate. Listen to this fascinating story that includes details of some of the most egregious hypocrisy ever perpetrated by WTS. We also discuss a truly shocking court case coming up for $100 000 000 against WTS brought by a woman who was raped repeatedly by a circuit oveseer when she was aged of 12. Also what is to become of Bethelites? Adam discusses a change in their status that could see them removed from Bethel service at any time, rendering them effectively homeless and pensionless.
