  Good books to read?

  by thedepressedsoul in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i read crisis on the conscience and i am about to start, "who wrote the bible?

  " does anyone have a list or great books to read for anyone searching for the real truth?

  i've only ever seen the world through a jw lens and i am excited to see what other view points are out there!

  No need to wait for the weekend.

  However, can you rephrase " you are going to great effort...". Perhaps: "you are going to great lengths..." or "you are making great efforts..."

  All books suggested above are great. There are a lot of books about the old testament out there from real scholars. Start with those that are named "Introduction to ...". Some authors John J. Collins, Christine Hayes, Michael D. Coogan, Frank Moore Cross. It's a world out there. You are going to need few decades to get very deep into the subject of religion, especially the monotheistic religions of the West
  

  Listen to the free lectures of Christine Hayes from Yale. She is very professional and engaging. You will have a better understanding of the Bible without feeling that faith is being attacked.

  i started my fade a the beginning of 2015, took counseling form a psychiatrist, and worked hard to get my family away from the cult.

  my marriage split and i now live alone with my 15 year old daughter.. she came to me last night and we started talking about jws.

  she told me that the subject they are discussing at the moment in philosophy is "cults".

  Thank you for the hopeful message. Your daughter is an example of the imminent fast decline of the WT. Young kids from the 21st century can not be fooled. The Watchtower days may still be many, but they are numbered.

  Fukitol
  

  already happened with the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima.

  Actually you just prove the point you are trying to refute. God exist, and has chosen the Jews as His people. The hell with everyone else.

  Not a great documentary, perhaps not even a documentary, but it certainly deals with religion the way it should be dealt with, mockery.

  I would return to the Kingdom Hall full of hope that the entire building was obliterated and no hope of ever being rebuilt.

  i am enraged..... two older sisters sold a property and gave the entire sales amount as donation to this printing corporation.

  The WT got a donation from me and millions of other tax payers, not from the elderly woman. SOB's
