A book on JWs containing contributions from more than 10 professionals, giving different angles on JW doctrine, organization, life and culture has been published by the Norwegian University Press Publishing Ho... A JW is also contributing, allowing the JWs to give a self-presentation.... It is Rolf Furuli who has written that part, he is also coordinator in an Oslo congregation and is working at the University of Oslo.
In fact, my parents intends to read the book, and that is good, cause it also mentions information not commonly known among regular JWs, e.g. Mexico/Malawi etc... It also gives the web address to a number of support web sites for "disgruntled" witnesses.
The book has come into existence also in cooperation with Brooklyn HQs and the national branch office providing information and literature.
A good reading, accurate, containing less than five actual mistakes in close to 200 pages ;-)..
(One minor one in the witness chapter. He says in general witnesses are ambassadors of God´s Kingdom.. And shows this by reference to 2. Cor. 5:20... However, the Society interprets that the term ambassador refers solely to the 144000. Members of the cgreat crowd are referred to as "envoyees"....)
