    For me it was THE BOOK! It opened my eyes. I started it thinking it would just enlighten me about how the organisation works. I'd never heard of it before until I saw it on Wikipedia under an article about the GB. I'd gone there to find out more about them. I wanted to read this book! I couldn't have it in the house, so I searched the web until I found a pdf. I downloaded it and then read it. I was certain it wouldn't shake my faith. Boy! Was I wrong!!!

    It turned my whole life upside down. I'm not sorry. It was 2 years ago this month. I went on to read his second book 'In Serach of Christain Freedom'.

    I can never ever go back. For me my eyes were fully opened and I knew I had learned 'TTATT'... (The Truth about the Truth).

    I'm glad. Thankyou Ray!!!

    Good book for non jw's as well. Helped family members understand how & why jw's are a cult.

    Hello Torn. Yes, changed my life too. Wrote to Ray about the effect it had on me and he replied just before his death. Wonderful humble man.

    Hi “tornapart.” I read both Crisis of Conscience and In Search of Christian Freedom, and I can certainly relate to where you said, “I was certain it wouldn't shake my faith. Boy! Was I wrong!!!” Although, in my case, I was certain that it would only confirm the fact that the Watchtower is not God’s organization – and indeed it did.

    The first Watchtower exposé book I read was 30 Years a Watchtower Slave, by William J. Schnell. The latest of such books I read was Apocalypse Delayed, by M. James Penton (second edition).

    The absolute best authority on the matter, of course, is our dear Raymond Franz. His above classic two books are very insightful and eye-opening, to say the least.
