Post the books you think should be required reading for anyone leaving the JWs:
Mine are,
Apocalypse Delayed by Jim Penton -- a historical overview of the JWs and their doctrine
Crisis of Conscience by Ray Franz -- the insider's account of how the Watchtower is ruled
In Search of Christian Freedom by Ray Franz
Index of Watchtower Error by David Reed -- helpful quick topical guide to numerous quotes on ever changing WT doctrine
Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl -- A great book by a concentration camp survivor and psychiatrist whose philosophy on life is a great one to adopt if you lost yours in the WT.
The Myth of Certainty by Daniel Taylor -- If you still believe in God and have a love/hate relationship with churches and others that profess belief in Christianity, this is great one to read.
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill -- The mindset and psychology of people who have been enormously successful. I found this helpful since I didn't aspire to be anything but a janitor and a magazine salesman when I got out of high school.
