Your "Best Thread" Suggestion for a Newbie to Read

cameo-d

Thinking about when you were a lurker, or when you first started to post...what were the topics that made the greatest impression on you toward realizing the lies, manipulation, and hipocracy of the WatchTower? What information found here sealed the deal for you that your suspicions had been correct? Is there a thread that really opened your eyes?

If there was one (maybe 2) threads that you would absolutely want a newbie to read...what would they be? If you can, please link the threads here for them.

What are the most important issues that someone sitting on the fence would be interested in? Or a new study that has decided to investigate the religion?

Threads about "the blood issue" flip-flops and changes? The UN scandal? Legalisms--how to sidestep a JC or other ways of dealing with it; repercussions of DA and DF? Exposing the mind control tactics they use? The loneliness of being shunned? Threads of triumph---getting over it?

Gift a newbie with your "best thread" suggestion and give a short synopsis of the subject matter with the link.

Here are a few good topics regarding doctrinal issues that a newbie might find interesting:

Blood Issue: Why Was It OK to Sell Unbled Meat to Foreigners?

'This Generation' Issue: The Generation Change (from 2 years ago). Although this will become 'old light' in a couple of months with yet another bizarre interpretation from the Governing Body.....

There was another one that someone (was it Lady Liberty?) did showing that you can disprove the 607 bce date by simply counting backwards from 539 BCE using no more than the scriptures.....anyone remember where that was? I thought I had bookmarked it but I guess I didn't.
