last month my jw mother died and suddenly we have years worth of these marked up, highlighted magazines.
i thought about throwing them out but then thought maybe i could make christmas decorations for my tree next year out of them.
how about a list of things i can do with moms old cult books and magazines?

I work in exit counselling with JW's (and other groups). I'm trying to find a few specific items for my reference library .I'd be most interested in things before 1951 or newer than 1998. There are also a few odd items I need in the middle. Is there a way to send a private message on this system? I'd like details of what you have available.
i just happened to stumble across this website while doing some research.
although it claims to not be biased toward any religous denomination, it has a decidedly watchtower slant to all of its bible translations and subject commentaries.
it completely supports 607bc and even claims that only 144,000 will be going to heaven.
Assuming it is an 'independent site', there appears to be a definite Watchtower influence. I spent a little time navigating and it appears to be a basic lesson in Watchtower dogma dressed up to look like they put some thought into the matter. My speculation, of course..., but I suppose it was probably a lot of work rephrasing Watchtower articles so they look like original works.
A couple of ponderings...
I wonder how (or if) the owners and 'translators' at this site would respond to criticism.
As for a request for having their credentials released for examination, they make it plain that they have none. They are just using a couple of lexicons and dictionaries. However, I looked up several of the passages and they couldn't be translated that way they even if you were only looking at a lexicon. There is undoubtedly an outside force influencing the 'translation'. This is a very misleading (and in my opinion very dangerous) website.
(Facetiously) I wonder if the Watchtower will eventually sue this site and close them down claiming 'theft of ideas and intellectual property' ;)
