I think the thing that so fascinates me about this is that no one outside of the JW faith even cares about this stuff. Most people just accept the evidence that Jerusalem was destroyed in 587 BCE and go on with their lives.

Bitter apostates
by Laika inwitnesses often go on about apostates being spiteful and bitter.
when you get cut off, shunned, or threatened with shunning just for the audacity of thinking differently, it's not surprising that getting angry at the witnesses is the reaction - it's like a self fulfilling prophecy.. but also, i recently posted an email from a 'friend' on this board who told me that everyone he'd spoken to about me said i had changed, become like another person.
it didn't occur to him that the day before i told my parents i'd quit the religion just 3 weeks ago, i met him for lunch, we had a good time and he didn't know anything was up.

The video also showed Joseph Smith reading directly from the plates out in the open. Didn't he hide them in a hat and put his face in it when he read those plates?

Your link led me to this page:

I noticed that in the videos the history is very white washed. I know little about the Mormon belief but one of the videos left out a lot like the origin of the negro race and why the native americans have red skin.

Do Mormons call their religion 'the truth' as well? The mormons in that video kept using that phrase.
I don't know if they use that phrase but the video sure did repeat it very often.

In cases of massive “bleed outs” from trauma or hemorrhage, or for patients with leukemia or other cancers, blood transfusions can be lifesaving.
At the same time, experts say there is remarkably little evidence to show which patients — short of those suddenly losing large amounts of blood — actually benefit from blood transfusions.
These are the points that doctors do not agree with witnesses on and where I would have to draw the line myself. I'm all for any medical advances that allow for less blood to be used during surgery but if a large sudden loss were to occur, there is no substitute for a transfusion. Yes, true, I've heard of blood expanders but they miss the key ingredient that carries oxygen.
Now, some contradictions in their doctrine. Blood fractions are fine but no witness is allowed to give blood so that its fractions can be used for other recipients. Blood recapturing is fine but autologous blood transfusions are not (it must be poured on to the ground).

Paul Blizzard shared on his website that he and his wife studied a New American Standard translation in secret while he was a witness.
I was taught that the King James Version was the most accurate translation when I was an IFB. An assertion that I later found to be false.
Truth is, there is no ONE translation that is the most accurate but I myself have found that I preferred the latest NIV version and The Message Bible.
