Have you already read James Penton : Apocalypse Delayed ?
It is no longer in print, but a wonderful book on the subject was written in 1978, by a former Bethel member, Barbara Grizzuti Harrison, titled "Visions of Glory". That was the first one I read about the JWs. I found it in my local library. I asked a used book store to make a search for it, because I wanted to own it, found it, re-read it, just wonderful.
What about the oldie "30 years a Watch Tower Slave" by Schnell (William).
What about "The Orwellian World of JWs" by Heather and Gary Botting.

At half price, too.

Also, I put up a link to an online book in a new thread tonight. You might want to read that.

Good reading

But there's so many good books to read!

Read "Manifest Your Destiny" by Wayne Dyer. Do what he
says, in all sincerity, for 6 months. I guarantee your
life will never be the same again.(much better!)
