Does anyone have a list or great books to read for anyone searching for the real truth? I've only ever seen the world through a JW lens and I am excited to see what other view points are out there!

Who was in the revised NWT translation committee?
Why did they really stop the book study?
Who came up with the crazy new generation teaching?If I had those answers I would have told everyone already. I know enough to see changes and whats going on. As for small details like that, I have not a clue.

At least as far as doctrine and run-of-the-mill JW policies go. But I have a feeling they've almost become puppet dictators. Someone else in the shadows (legal dept) really controls the future of the corporation. They just let these chumps feel like they're in charge.
It could very well be. When they changed their whole structure we have no idea who they put in charge of their different company divisions.

Most offensive I found was his treatment of mythicism. I think there's a reasonable case to be made for mythicism. Maher completely garbled it. Really annoying.
I agree, but you have to keep in mind that as a JW, I never even heard of the idea that there were other god's/stories that were before the bible and yet were the same stroy. That alone made me turn to Google.

Or maybe...responding to the aggressive demands of an unnamed industry that needs LOTS of financial investment to keep it afloat.
I've never seen anything to suggest that the GB aren't in charge. They no doubt take advice from legal and financial team but they seem to be running the show. They personal visit new building HQ, branches and seem to have the final say.
It's hard to know though as they have a corporation for everything. Watchtower, Kingdom Services, World Wide Work, Construction Relief etc... I'd hate to be the guy assigned to investigate their financials. Everything is behind a different name.

Are you in personal contact with the GB? Or other people high up at bethel? Would you say these people believe it's the truth or are there doubters among them?
I've met a lot of them. I'd liken to going to a meeting. Everyone at the meeting seems crazy into it, their comments make them seem super spiritual, they're in JW mode. However, after attending for a while you start to see that a lot of the members are struggling spiritually, have doubts, watch movies they shouldn't, party and so on.
When those guys are all together (people at bethel), they have the spiritual suit on so it's hard to know. They at least all act like they believe around each other. It's not like together they're all laughing at what chumps the R&F are. How the 7 are when it's just the 7 of them, I have not a clue.
You have to keep in mind too, a lot is kept behind closed doors. Just to get to the legal room alone you have to be authorized to even get in the door. Same with their server station.

He made the idea of religion look completely crazy. It made me start to think that what I believed was completely crazy.
