Tomorrow begins the next term at school and I've spent some spare time at break scanning. Here is a PDF of the book The Gospel According to Jehovah's Witnesses by John Francis Coffey. It was published in 1979 in Australia and had a limited circulation and has been out of print for many years. The book is an introduction to the theology of Jehovah's Witnesses as compared to historical Christian belief and is written primarily with the average Christian in mind. It has 173 pages and the PDF is about 5.8 MB. Here is a listing of the chapter titles: Preface
A Short History
The Witnesses and the Bible
The Witnesses and the Holy Trinity
The Witnesses and the Deity of Christ
The Witnesses and the Atonement
The Witnesses and the Resurrection
The Witnesses and the Ascension
The Witnesses and the Second Coming
The Witnesses and the Holy Spirit
The Witnesses and the After-Life
The Witnesses and Angels and Devils
The Witnesses and Baptism
Conclusion
Appendix I, War
Appendix 11, Blood Transfusions
Bibliography
Footnotes

Since it's nearly 30 years old, it is dated somewhat and has a couple technical historical errors. The author tried to write with a "mere Christianity" approach and succeeds, I believe, in giving a good intro to these subjects. I might have written a few things differently, but then I'm not sure anyone would be interested in my opinions! The PDF can be downloaded at this filesharing site:

I contacted the author and he wrote me back today graciously giving permission for his works to be distributed freely on the Internet as long as there is no content change.
Mr. Coffey later presented material that had been removed from the book which outlines his apologetic for specific Catholic doctrines, which is entitled Jehovah's Witnesses and the Catholic Church (3.7MB ). This will be of limited interest, but for those interested, it can be downloaded at:
