"History's Worst Predictions and the People Who Made Them," by Eric Chalin. Yes, C. T. Russell made the cut (so did William Miller and Joseph Smith), though J. F. Rutherford and Nelson Barbour have only a brief mention in the Russell chapter, and Fred Franz is conspicuous by his absence--even though the author cites several doomsday dates from the Franz era.

Must admit, the Seahawks came to play and they kicked butt for all four quarters. Denver now owns four of the worst Superb Owl performances in history!

Report it to the phone company. The pay phone is their private property, it is not a public bulletin board for others.

"but then later down it says now is not the time to put our trust in human institutions (but the org is a human institution)."
Are you saying the spirit-directed, annointed, Governing Body are mere humans? You must be an apostate!

"The choice was hers to make, whether for reasons of religion, or for altogether different reasons entirely, or in fact for no reason at all. But as in any aspect of life, where choices result in consequences, Ms. Rozier’s choice resulted in a consequence for her. Sadly, that consequence was her death."
I'd call the logic of that statement self-evident. I hope the doctors and hospital were awarded attorney's fees (a rare outcome, I admit).

Simple Signs That Cause Jehovah's Witnesses To Lose Morale (Faith In The Governing Body Corporation Kings)
by frankiespeakin ina good way to get the jws doubting corporation leadership, is lower their morale in the governing body.
pointing out their stupidity, authoritarianism, delusions of grandure, and the depts of their wishful thinking bias done in such a way to overide watchtower inplanted prejudice.. highlighting the phobias they have of apostates, their attitude toward children as nothing more that corporation free labor denying them education and handing them over to pedofiles in the congregation be they elders or microphone handlelers.. signs about doctrinal issues are a waste of time but i can't deny that some may benifit but that's just getting them out of one cult and making them pray for another.
anyway the bible is too full of shit to argue doctrine, much better to stay away from it and proceed to spend more time get oneself free from that residual mind control you're still clinging to that's based in the bible.. what are your ideas?.

I think it would as unproductive as expecting an argument about politics to change somebody's opinion. Consider this modified version:
A good way to get the JWs (republicans, democrats, conservatives, labour party members,...) doubting Corporation Party Leadership, is lower their morale in the Governing Body Candidates. Pointing out their stupidity, authoritarianism, delusions of grandure, and the depts of their wishful thinking bias done in such a way to overide watchtower inplanted prejudiceparty ideology.
If somebody changes their opinion, it's because they convinced themselves. When you try to make them change it, you are much more likely to increase their resolve than to win them over to your side.
