A tertiary encyclopedia source, used here for ordinary biographical facts (dates, places, postings) rather than for any contested claim. Its own citations were not individually traced by this record; where a fact bears on the substance of Franz's dispute with the Watch Tower Society, this record cites his own book, Crisis of Conscience, or Wikipedia's article on that book, instead.

Reliability Tier3
A tertiary encyclopedia source, used here for ordinary biographical facts, dates, places, postings, rather than for any contested claim; a continuously revised community edited entry with no named author, hence the lower tier. NotesWikipedia's biographical article on Raymond Franz: birth and death dates and places, family background, missionary postings, Brooklyn headquarters years, Governing Body dates, and the circumstances of his 1980 resignation and 1981 disfellowshipping.
