I suggest:
A People For His Name: A History of Jehovah's Witnesses and An Evaluation by Tony Wills - used by Ray Franz & James Penton as source material
The Desolations of the Sanctuary by Emil & Otto Sadlack - the reaction of some sincere German Bible Students to Rutherford's reforms of Russell's organization
DEMONISM and the WATCH TOWER by Roy D. Goodrich - the only publicly available collection of some of Goodrich's writings.
Captives of a Concept (Anatomy of an Illusion) by Don Cameron - the key deception of Watchtower dogma
each of these are available through Amazon or Lulu.com at reasonable prices.

The "Silver Sword" is bigger than other ordinary Bibles because it contains more Trooth®.

Why JWs don't celebrate Mother's day
by Laika inin the uk, this sunday is mother's day!
ask a jw why they don't celebrate holidays and they'll tell you it's because of some nefarious pagan connection.
but this is really just a cover.

I can only explain my own experience. In my case I don't celebrate Mother's Day because my mother does not deserve it.

This is my first post
by Make Lemonade ini wanted to express appreciation to the members of this forum.
there are resources here that are deep.
like we heard from the stage, "what is your depth and breadth of bible knowledge?

Nathan Natas
The WTB&TS has lied to you and asked you to act dishonestly on their behalf.
Now they are "disfellowshipping" you, thus marking you as one who will not believe lies and acts in accord with your OWN conscience.
This is indeed something to be proud of!
We welcome you, and we are glad to have you join us!

Memorial 2014: Wrong date?
by AnnOMaly inthis was meant to have nice inserted pictures and tidy hyperlinks but the forum's being glitchy today.
so unfortunately it's going to be a messy post where you're going to have to exercise your tapping fingers and click on the links to the pics to see what i'm referring to.
sorry about that.. in the article recently studied "do this in remembrance of me" (w13 12/15), there is a box on p. 23 giving the date of this year's memorial and how that date is arrived at.. http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2013926.

So they've picked the wrong day for their meaningless ritual of rejection. ...again.
Who's gonna be upset by that: the Universal Sovreign Yod-He-Vah-He, or The Flying Spaghetti Monster, Yod-He-Haw-He-Haw?
The destiny of our immortal souls is at stake!
The WORLD MIGHT END without you - and THEN what would you do? huh?
No, this is REALLY IMPORTANT SHIT AND STUFF! REALLY!!

Photography and HDR
by ILoveTTATT inas i have mentioned before, i love photography, and specially a technique called hdr.
hdr stands for high dynamic range, and it means the ratio of the "lightness" of the lightest spot in the picture to the darkest.. .
