  WatchtowerWatch.com - a new online resource for Jehovah's Witnesses (a brief tribute to the work of John Hoyle)

  by cedars in

  as many of you will know, juan viejo2 (john hoyle) is a tireless worker behind the scenes when it comes to launching, running and assisting websites that help to expose the many fallacies of watchtower doctrine.

  not only is he the genius behind ex-jw.com and insidethewatchtower.com, he also gave me a huge helping hand (before he even really knew me) by setting up jwsurvey.org, thus giving me a platform on which to run my survey and write my articles.. recently, john has also been helping randy watters (dogpatch) with a new improved version of freeminds.org (yet to be released) that will help to ensure the longevity and usefulness of that flagship jw website for many years to come.

  if there is an unsung hero of the ex-jw community working behind the scenes to keep everything ticking, quietly tightening the bolts and oiling the joints of the apostate internet juggernaut, in my humble opinion it simply has to be john hoyle.. always looking for the next new project, and not content with already running an impressive portfolio of ex-jw sites, john has now launched watchtowerwatch.com - a website that will hopefully serve as a one-stop resource for some of the best jw-related content and stories on the web.

  Thanks, David for your tip on downloading.

  I agree that COC is a little expensive on amazon. Still I just got it there for 63 bucks there. I bought "in search for christian freedom" for about 50 bucks on ebay and I think that was included shipping.

  After some year in the "electronic" world, I have returned to the physical reality were "real" books are neede in my visable library

  Thanks for your honest thoughts and book reviews!

  "Would we post it as a good read to get revenge with the Watchtower Society even though we know it's a lie or call it a heaping pile of pig shit?"

  - Agree, those who lie are not any better than the WTS. Some former cult members turn to manipulation, lies and black and white reasoning. They have kept the exclusive mindset, only changed their totalitarian views. It may be a good read though, as an example of how cults can twist people's mind.

  "Why is Franz's book so attractive in my eyes? It's because he provides evidence, real life experiences only JWs could understand, and a strong love for his fellow Christians with strong Bible knowledge, his deep desire for a spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ and Jehovah God. Ray does address people who leave for reasons they are not telling their public, disfellowshipings for outrageous sins or sin's against Jehovah or your own body."

  - I am totally with you on this. Many dubs never had faith to begin with. Ray is balanced and loving all the way. He gave me some light in a harsh awakening process.

  Stay strong!
