1. Deuteronomy (Specifically 18:20-22)
2. Jeremiah
3. Revelation
4. Gospels (I know that's 4 books in 1)
5. Romans
The other 58 books were good too.

I read The Road Less Travelled a few years ago, and WOW! Lot's of things really clicked for me! The only problem is that I always tried to reconcile what I learned with the WT doctrine. It didn't always work and I rationalized that M Scott Peck needed Jehovah, LOL.
It was the internet that got me to question though and led to me not ever wanting to go back, but it was Crisis of Conscience and Christian Freedom that will forever keep me out. Thanks Ray, from the bottom of my heart!

Hassan's Combating Cult Mind Control - I read it looking for contrasts with the JW's. My initial reaction: "Well, I'm not sure Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult, but I'm reacting as if they are. The true religion is making me a liar!"
Peace and Justice in the Scriptures of the World's Religions, Denise Carmody and John Tully Carmody, because my next question was: "What keeps unbelievers (non-Witnesses) honest?"
A Chosen Faith, Forrester Church and Charles Buehrens, a summary of the major principles of Unitarian Universalism: reassured me that UU was probably the right place for me post-jaydub
