  As I read all the stories of people that have made it out of the WT and all the books on personal experiences in the WT there is one thing that I have been wondering about and would find quite interesting:

  How many of the WTs very own books-- the very words of Jehovah they claim-- are/were written by now apostates?

  For instance we know that the esteemed Aid to Bible Understanding was written by Ray Franz. But this book is still revered among the JWs. They don't exactly advertise that it's author is an apostate and-- the horror-- a christian now.

  If anyone has in their research read of other Wt books authored by now apostates lets start a running list and see where it goes:

  1: Aid to Bible Understanding-------Ray Franz

  I believe the book of James was written by Ed Dunlop( the WT version)

  All WT books were written by apostates :)

  But seriously:

  1: Aid to Bible Understanding-------Ray Franz

  2: Commentary on the Book of James ------- Ed Dunlap

  ALL of the Watchtower's books are written by apostates from true Christianity.

  Wouldn't all the publications put out by Russell and Rutherford be considered apostate by today's Jws?

  I'd like to add the collective works of Chuck Russell, Joseph Rutherford and Fred Franz to the list.

  As I understand it, Barbara Anderson wrote a number of Awake! articles. I think Gerry Bergman wrote some as well.

  Brings to mind an earlier apostate, Solomon, and the stuff he wrote that's still considered "inspired."
