Great stuff as usual Keith. Are you going to have someone proof read and possibly edit ? Just saying would make your life easier and help you out a little. Looking forward to reading more and purchasing your complete book one day. Maybe drop Alexandra James a line she could steer you in the right direction if not help. I know she worked on Bo Juel's book and it turned out great.

Watchtower's unscriptual boasting about works
by Diogenesister innothing big here, just a little musing on this scripture at ephesians 2.8-9 that definately states that only faith saves, not works, in case men start to boast about their amazing works.
"8for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of god, 9not of works, that no one would boast.
well my word, i would definately say witnesses *do nothing but boast*, especially now on jw broadcast.

"What group of people are preaching that message in “all the nations”? The answer is obvious—only Jehovah’s Witnesses". Watchtower May 16 2016
I looked into this awhile back and the United Bible Society are doing way more preaching in more languages :
From Wikipedia, they surpass WTBTS by far :
See also: International Bible Society, Wycliffe Bible Translators, and Institute for Bible Translation
The Bible is the most translated book in the world. The United Bible Societies announced that as of 31 December 2007 the complete Bible was available in 438 languages, 123 of which included the deuterocanonical material as well as the Tanakh and New Testament. Either the Tanakh or the New Testament was available in an additional 1,168 languages. In 1999, Wycliffe Bible Translators announced Vision 2025—a project that intends to commence Bible translation in every remaining language community by 2025. They currently estimate that around 209 million people, representing 2.95% of the world's population, speak those 1,967 languages where translation work still needs to begin. In November 2012, Wycliffe stated that parts of the Bible are available in 2,798 languages out of the 6,877 known languages, and that there are currently 518 languages with a complete Bible translation. At least 5 billion people (71% of the world's population) have access to a full Bible translation in their native language. Wycliffe added that a further 595 million (8.5% of the world's population), representing 1,275 languages, have at least the New Testament in their first language. An additional 1,005 languages (almost 20% of the world's population) were reported to have at least one book of the Bible available. By September 2012, personnel from participating Bible translation organizations were involved in 2,075 language programs.

Anyone reading these stores for the first time look up Keith's 'New Boy' series on here, will give you some background where he's coming from. Keith's New Boy episodes are one of the reasons I was able to DA with clear conscience and finally wake up and see things as they really are. Prayed to God to show me the truth, printed everything up, took an empty 5 gal pail outside and sat down outside my shop in the sun one Saturday morning and read it all though within a few hours. Felt immediate release from WT induced FOG and started planning the rest of my life.

How much time have you ever spent on Jw.org ?
by Chook ini'm proud to say no greater than ten minutes in my whole life.

I've had an elder tell me that JW TV is intrusive, and this guy then started shunning me when I told him I was DA'ing. So that goes to show even die hards have trouble stomaching it I think. Actually the whole broadcasting thing and propaganda videos irked me from the get go. Can only look at them briefly through the other wonderful apostate sites as they get reviewed when they come out ( the monthly indoctrination vids )

The point at which you think this may not be the truth
by LevelThePlayingField ini remember one of the nights that i found out the truth wasn't the truth, that is after finding out about the united nations, i remember riding my bicycle from like 1am till 5am in the city night.
it was rather chilly, maybe about 55-60 degrees and i was playing pink floyd's dark side of the moon album in my earbuds.
just riding and riding, not really tiring because of the thought that 7 men in brooklyn had duped me, duped me for like 20 plus years.

Reading Keith Casarona's "New Boy" NY City Bethel stories and the ill treatment the kids got there plus the sweat shop mentality and factory politics proved to me beyond a doubt that it was just a printing - publishing business cult with franchises. God seemed to have little to do with anything over there. Read Brock Talon's version ( God's House ) then both of Ray's books, William Schnell's 30 Years a WT Slave capped off with Gruss's 4 Presidents of The WT. Result : Cured from any organised religion forever. Biblical Christian here, plain and simple and Yes as per OP I asked God to show me, regardless of the consequences.

I remember once at a book study in '05 there was another business owner present and we went over how we should all be keeping our lives simple as the end could be coming any time and to be ready. The conductor and himself commented on how this could apply to us personally and what plans or other could we cancel or forget about with regards to this. Well the conductor bought a fifth wheel camper for his 'business' and the business owner type sold his small weld shop building and invested in anew high tech building to expand his business into other markets such as pharma sheet metal so as to pass on the business to his grown kids. That and a new hall was planned and built the same year, with 'Jehovah' is getting s people ready for the tribulation by erecting and renovating buildings to house his loyal ones during the great day of his fury. Oh and all the while this was happening this guy was building himself a new palatial stone faced trendy home.
At that meting I commented on how I would forgo building a much needed small one car garage at home as the end was coming soon and I could build one in the new system anyway.
As they say you can't make this stuff up..
