    er hope you dont mind me asking but i have got to the point now where i want to read books about the WTS.(not felt able up to now)

    theres quite a lot to choose from at amazon i was wondering if any one would mind telling me which books you would recommend. ive bought books in the past and not been disappointed so could really use some pointers to the books out there.plus i think JW's have been writing afew reviews on some books at amazon and it makes it very hard to tell whats what.

    and i dont want but a book writen by or a person from the other religious organizations.

    do you think the books are worth reading or are they the same as the info on various sites about the WTS? like free minds etc.

    do you think its worth buying the books or just as good to stick to the web sites?

    Crisis of Conscience by Raymond Franz is a must read! Also his other book which I'm currently reading In Search of Christian ~~~~~~~. CoC covers exactly what you said you are looking for:

    i want a realy fair and balanced book but one i one that covers the WTS history and events and mistakes etc .

    I just recently finished reading Truth or Consequences by Roy Milton and it was a very good read too. I plan on starting a thread on it soon as I totally enjoyed reading such a personal perspective.

    There are plenty of books out there and if I were you I would just start, it's very informative and helps you to see the whole picture.

    Happy reading!

    Apocalypse Denied by James Penton is good too for your library.

    Try used book sites such as:

    The Hour Of Darkness by Derek Barefoot is an eye opener. Visions Of Glory, if you can find one., The Gentile Times Reconsidered is good if you like a little deeper reading.

    CoC - Awesome read!

    I'm reading Steven Hassan's book Releasing the Bonds

    Very good book - good information about cults and it gives pointers on how to deal with loved ones who are in a cult.
