This is an excellent read - free PDF download. Basically points out a lot of inconsistencies in the bible. A lot of stuff I guess I knew already , but had just blanked it out. Also a lot of stuff I never knew. (Abel was a shepherd , at a time when no-one supposedly ate meat . Methusaleh died in the year of the flood , but not in the flood and was evidently not a righteous man , as was Lamech - Noah's father - how did I not pick up on that? ) So much for 40 years of bible study. One account reminded me when I was a young pioneer talking to a man about the value of bible standards & the guy just walked me through a couple of bloodthirsty accounts when the Israelites killed men , women , children & animals and kidnapped the virgins to themselves. I had no answer & looked desperately to my elder partner who just shrugged.

I'm not quite a card carrying athiest as such (yet) but I did find this a really good read , especially as the author used to be a JW.
What I found especially interesting was looking up the WTBTS material on the bible references , in the Insight book & other publications. Often the WTBTS never even mentions the discrepancies ( amazing how the WT index shows up several scriptures that are never mentioned in any WTBTS publication ) , but when they do , the JW buzzword word "evidently" (and its little brother "apparently" ) are very much in evidence and quotes from "bible scholars" that try , sometimes painfully , to explain away the inconsistencies. It reminds me of Franz's experience when he desperately in the Aid book tried to rubbish all the evidence that Jerusalem wasn't destroyed in 607 BCE.
