Is anybody aware of a database or piece of software which allows you access to old WT's of Russell's day or other older JW publications?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

hello community,.

my name is brett w., and i am senior undergraduate student at the university of florida.

i'll be posting a lot more on here in the coming weeks, in regards to some insight on some JW topics.

one thing I have found is that ex-JW's are really knowledgable about the society and a lot of other topics involving the WT and its history

thanks for everyone's help up to this point!

hello community,.

my name is brett w., and i am senior undergraduate student at the university of florida.

First of all, great research! I will have to check that website out! It is nice to know that some are talking about my project across the internet. Make no mistake, this whole controversy will be documented for my thesis. The level of suspicion has really thrown me for a loop.

So...now what is the consensus on me? That I AM indeed a student, but now I am not a JW? This forum's opinions change with the winds.

Like I said, who you think or don't think I am is immaterial. I was simply recruiting for my project. If you don't believe in an aspects of that, fine. I wish we could be talking and discussing more about the topic of my research, than pages upon pages of questioning who I am.

And it should come to no one's surprise that I am not your model JW. I am in college, studying political science, with aspirations to go into the field of law. Not to mention that I am visiting this site.

Much like everyone here, I have received a lot of grief from family for the way I have chosen to live my life. I value and education and see importance in politics. Most in the religion do not value these things, and I didn't, until I decided I didn't want to work at Walmart...that I wanted to do something with my life, and went to college.

I still believe in the religions fundamental truths (non-trinitarian, Jehovah is God, the paradise, no fiery hell, ect.). I have very little faith in the 1914 doctrine, but only deservedly so. I have also questioned other aspects that I would rather not get into.

In conclusion, think what you want, it is inconsequential. But if you now accept the fact I am a student, and simply want to question my loyalty as a JW, then I am finished with this site...because I get enough of that in my real daily life.

Also, I am in the midst of writing a paper on Chinese foreign policy, due at 9 am tomorrow. While tempted, I cannot continue to spend time bickering back and forth for the time being.

@slimboy

That would be a great article or letter to obtain. Please do your best to locate it, if you can. Also, check your PM.

@Leolaia

Your basic objective analysis and simple online research is refreshing! In addition, I am not a frequent visitor to this site and am unaware of common "hoaxes" and such. I do not know what the purpose in such would be.

@Band

If obtaining a university email is so readily accessible and easily attained, please obtain a @yale.edu and email me! Otherwise your proposition is hollow.

You still do not seem to fully comprehend why I am not entertaining your request. Allow me to elucidate. It is the principle of the matter, and more pragmatically the lack of interest I have in utilizing your services as an interviewee. I will not succomb to your request simply to "prove" myself to you. I have no such invested interest in doing so. You may be successful in bullying others to get your way, but you will reap no such benefit with this party.

A simple cursory search yields James Beckford's, "The Trumpet of Prophecy", as well as cited by "An Introduction to Research and Analysis of Jehovah's Witnesses: A View from the Watchtower" by Carolyn R. Wah used the phrases "defected [Jehovah's] Witnesses".

Let's put this topic to rest since it has everything to do with syntax and nothing to do with my research :)
