Hi:
I just put up a conversion story on my website. It is the story told by Claude Kenneson who left the Catholic Church to become a Jehovah's Witness but by the grace of God came back home to the Catholic Church.
Here is the link to the site:

God's blessings to you all.

Thanks for posting the address to Kenneson's (and yours as well) story.
Kenneson wrote that:
"Also, at Bethel, I came across some "evil slave" or "apostate" literature (in all places--their library)."
I wonder what this apostate material was in the Watchtower's library, and who wrote it?
Was it the "30 Years a Watchtower Slave" or one of Walter Martin's books? At that time I don't think there was too much apostate material published.
The Watchtower now keeps all their "apostate" material they have for reference under lock and key so the ordinary workers won't see it!

VM 44,
Actually, I'm sorry to say, it was so long ago that I have forgotten. I remember numerous tracts and brochures (but can't recall titles). I also knew it was apostate because the writers mentioned having been former Witnesses and they were also critical of Watchtower teachings. When I asked the Bethel Servant at that time why they were there in the first place, he said they were intended for reference only and that I should have been concentrating on studying Watchtower literature and should not have been reading that instead. If the apostate literature has been removed, who knows, perhaps I was the cause of it??? Hmmm. Or could it be that there were actually others like me, who left after reading it? And they had to put a stop to it; thus, the lock and key?
P.S. I read William Schnell's "Thirty Years a Watchtower Slave," but don't remember when.
