Which of Franz's books is better, COC of CF?
by jwfacts inwhen i was rethinking the wts i did most of my research by going back to old books and steering clear of "apostate" material, so i knew the wrong dates, pyramids etc and made my mind up before reading any apostate sites.
when i finally read crisis of conscience i already knew a lot of the information in it, though i still really enjoyed it.
however, even after i knew the wts was a con i still did not have answers for some of the doctrines, like great crowd/other sheep and organisation.

Religions like Jehovah's Witnesses over the last 1900 years
by jwfacts inthe watchtower society has made the claim that since jesus time there have always been people that believe what the watchtower teaches, at least in regards to the major doctrine.
they also claim there has always been a f&d slave.
from time to time the watchtower has mentioned religious groups that were possibly part of the slave.

Looking for article on God needing an Organisation
by jwfacts ini am writing an article for my site on whether god requires an organisation.
for some reason a lot of dubs i talk to think that jehovah must have an org and they can't find one better than the wts.
i remember a great article mentioned in one of the threads about 3 months ago on this site.

Why am I so happy?
by jwfacts insince i stopped going to meetings about six months ago i have been getting happier and happier and don't know why.
i don't know who god is anymore, or if there is an afterlife.
i don't have as many friends as i used to, though i am starting to build new ones.

How much control can I have over nephews and nieces?
by jwfacts inmy sister and cousin both have 1 year old children, and are both devoted jws.
i would like to help the children grow up to be normal, balanced people, but as the crazy uncle don't think i will have any say.
i am afraid that if i ever even raise religion with them i will be cut off from seeing them.

Since it is obvious all religion is wrong why do so many believe?
by jwfacts inany religion that claims it is the only correct one is obviously wrong.
by it's arrogance it becomes mutually exclusive of any other religion.
when one steps back they can see that the contradiction of one religion over the others is a proof that they all must be wrong.

Whats happens to all the $$$$ when the WTS closes down
by jwfacts ini used to think that if the end didnt come within the generation that the wts would have to shut down.
as it is a multibillion dollar non profit organisation i imagined that the publishers would then each get an equal distribution of the wealth, a great incentive to stay.
but then the definition of a generation changed and makes the wts viable for a bit longer than i cared to hang around for.. how long do you think the wts can continue before people en masse realise it is a pointless cult and it drifts into oblivion.

Is the bible inspired?
by jwfacts ini am trying to determine if it can be proved that the bible is inspired, and was wondering if most people here believe it is or is not.. i am writing a document on proof of inspiration, but it has ended up more of an article that shows the bible can not be proven to be inspired.
i will be interested in what people think about it when it is finished.
however i am worried that posting such an article may alienate those on jwd that believe the bible to be gods word.
