LDH

I *know* for a fact that FredHall will defend it without reading it.

How's that for starters?

Fred, is it OK for Greg Stafford to make money by publishing these books? You seem to have such a problem with Ray Franz and James Penton.

What's your stand on this?

RunningMan

Did someone say "make money"? Let's be realistic. What could
possibly be the target market for this book? JW's are forbidden to
read any religious book not published by the Society. Apostates will
be nauseated by it. And, no one else cares.

This book must be self published.

Amazing

I plan to read Stafford's book. I have not read any of his previous works, but I think it would be fair to consider what he has to say. The Chapter titles sound as though it is going to be interesting. Amazing

Winston

The book sounds like he is leaving the Organization.

Judging from the 2nd and 3rd dissertations:

Second Dissertation - The Bible, Chronology and Jehovah's Witnesses
1798
1844
1859
1874
1878
1914
Excursus: 'Reconsidering' the Gentile Times?
1925
1975
"The Last Days"
Third Dissertation - "Food at the Proper Time"
The Identity of God and His Son
The Name of God
"No Part of the World"
Doctrines of Uncertainty
Legalism
Blood Transfusions
Excursus: The Apostolic Decree

Wouldn't that be a gasser?

How long have you LIVED and how long has God LIVED?
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to .000000000000000000000000000000001
Who is like God?

Nathan Natas

Who is Greg Stafford? I'd like to buy a clue, Monty.

Pork Chop

Stafford's original book is quite good, the 2nd edition is even better. He's well worth reading and I look forward to his new book.

D wiltshire

Pork Chop,

Anything in particular that made his book worth reading?

When a 2 year old asks a complicated question how do you answer?
How long have you LIVED and how long has God LIVED?
Do you think you always understand his answer?

Mommie Dark

Well I won't be buying this book; toilet paper is still readily available and it's way cheaper and more absorbent than book pages. If I need toilet reading material, I currently have a Clive Barker novel to scare the shit out of me...and I prefer that to having the shit BORED out of me...

biblexaminer

I cannot beleive that this guy's book is other than what the WTBTS would call "Apostate"....

The topics seem to discuss the same things which the obvious abundance of truth shows the WTBTS is lying about.

Is this guy a JW... in "good standing"? (gag)

Someone correctly pointed out that JWs cannot read it, inasmuch as restrictions on their reading material are in plce by the local Nazi elders.

He can't possibly have those discussion points and also be showing favor to the WTBTS.

So, what does he hope to acheive?
