It does not take long at all! One night! That was all it took to truly investigate evolution. Why? Because the bible reading in Genesis was wrong.. to many archeological and textual holes.

Why do some people who were trapped in the WT and wake up, still believe in the Bible God who allowed them to be deceived for years.
by pistolpete inwhy do some people who were trapped in the wt and wake up after much frustration and anger that they were lied to, still believe in the bible god who allowed them and their families to be deceived and trapped for years.
i have an acquaintance who is a lot older than me and for the past 30 years he has been out of the watchtower religion and is sola scriptura.
sola scriptura is a theological doctrine that posits the christian scriptures as the sole infallible source of authority for christian faith and practice.

The fact is that being open to JW beliefs make a person open to another belief similar if they leave for reasons that are based on emotions or scriptural error by the WT. Ray Franz comes to mind as well as some here.
Before you list Jehovah's horrible acts I personally would lead a person to the oldest mention of him.... As a desert God of the Shashu people. In fact the archaic Jah or YHW is a throwback. The israelites only pickled up worship of YHWH very late likely after 900 bce judging by the name of Ahab's children

What's up with the demonic avatar?
by Repent inwhy does the j-w forums have a demonic avatar as starting avatar?
why would a biblical religion even consider having demonic images included, in any of their content?.

HowTheBibleWasCreated
WTF? I mean what year is this 1600? This is likely the same person that claims they can find demonic images in the WT literature. The avatars on this forum that are default are not demonic they are insects and crabs etc. Are crabs demonic? I catch them in the summer and eat them,. Maybe I'm demonized. Are insects demonic? Well maybe you got a point there ...:P

Other then a brief comment in the forward I have written I haven't mentioned Jehovah's Witnesses at all. ILike you i feel it is best received by being general. however I might be 'attacking' catholics in my NT section. This will likely make the book more appealing for JWs maybe. (They love the Two Babylon book and it wasn't written by a JW. Same for the Golden Vial) -

Genesis 1:16 and apologists- vegetation before the Sun?
by joey jojo ingen 1: 11 says: .
11 then god said, “let the earth sprout [j]vegetation, [k]plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit according to [l]their kind [m]with seed in them”; and it was so.
12 the earth produced [n]vegetation, [o]plants yielding seed according to [p]their kind, and trees bearing fruit [q]with seed in them, according to [r]their kind; and god saw that it was good.

Well I say JW's have an issue with this. They say the sun was created before day one and then only on day four was the sun moon and star reveled in the heavens because plants were adding free oxygen to the atmosphere.
But note Exodus 20:11- for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy. -WEB
So actually I have sympathy for young earth creationist at least they are BIBLICALLY correct.
The reality is this is a story in Genesis 1 taken from Berrousus who took this from Enuma Elish an ancient Babylonian story.
The order of the days is:
1- Light
2: Division between heaven and earth of waters
3. Land and Plants
Now watch>>
4. Sun and Moon and Stars parallel day 1
5. Birds and Fish paralleled day 2
6. Beast and Humans paralleled day 3
Day seven is the Sabbath which Exodus 20:11 (From the same author says)

Jehovah Witness cult is Anti-christ.... proof seen in the use of BCE/CE instead of AD/BC
by goingthruthemotions inso being around this cult, i always found it interesting that the rest of christianity use ad/bc and the non christians use bce/ce.
i never put two and two together.
but, it dawned on me that once again there is hidden proof that the witness cult is and anti-christ cult.

Actually the WT shot themselves in the foot!. In their KJV translation they had Usher's Chronology. It gives 587BC not 607 BCE as the date of Jerusalem's destruction in Kings/Chronicles/Jeremiah/Lamentations/Obadiah? and perhaps other areas. Thus I highly doubt many witnesses in the pre-NWT era was 100% on board with 607BCE.

Yeah Steven Lett mentions othe films about Jesu are plagued with false religion. I'm think 'The Bible series on Netflix. He says other have excessive violence. Uh No they don't. The movie he speaks of is obviously Passion the Christ and it's realistic as far as ancient torture goes.
So I'm guessing the next several years Warwick will produce a Jesu series that will be PG rated and be quoting the NWT.
This actually is very humorous when you think of it. Imagine how they will show the demon poesssed man that is contradictory in the different gospels.

Disillusioned JW
To answer the question put earlier yes the books topic is pretty much how the Bible was created from a minimalistic point of view of both the late 19th and recent scholarship.. The title likely will be something like "If the foundations be shaken."
As I have said I doubt if most JWs would get out just by reading the book because it will cover every chapter and section of the bible and several relevant apocryphal books. However it might instill doubts as they cannot deny the scholarly or texts from other cultures that the bible draws from
Ex. Balaam was likely historical but he lived much later and never had a talking donkey.
Another example is that right now I'm dealing with the main portion of the Book of Job and have some interesting conclusions regarding Behemoth and Apis in Egyptian mythology that will leave a believer in a literal text reeling.
However once the doubts of a JW reaches the tipping point the book is meant to fill the void of where the book came from so that the arguments that JWs use such as the Is: 40:22 verse or Daniels prophecies etc fall apart quickly.
I will devote a section at the end to why evolution is true. I will not however address the idea of an afterlife since that is beyond the scope of the book and I don't even consider it a supernatural question but a scientific one.
