Penton's book is poorly referenced: Apocalypse Unsubstantiated!
by slimboyfat inof course it goes without saying that penton's apocalypse delayed is the best history of jehovah's witnesses we have (though timothy white's would be the best apart from its age), but i am continually frustrated by his lack of references for key claims.
here is an example where he is talking about reports of drinking in bethel:drinking, then, almost became part of the cult of machismo into which the new workers were quickly inducted.
old bible students such as clayton woodworth and olin moyle objected, and nathan knorr refused to go along with rum-running from canada.

Maybe Interesting Blood News
by truth.ceeker ini had a meeting with my heart surgeon yesterday, and after informing him of our faith, my wife still holding onto to parts of the organization, the dr. said that, "there is a new form that just came out last year from your mother church in new york.
" what this document does is (1) make it clear that the person is not allowing blood to be used, (2) makes it clear that the dr. will have a court order ready in case blood is deemed medically necessary to sustain life and (3) absolves the person's conscience of any guilt if it came down to it.
i'm not sure if this document has been discussed before, but i thought that it was a bit intriguing.

Trinity discussion - link me up please
by Inquisitor ini remember once reading someone's post where he/she used an excellent scripture that strongly suggests that jesus is god.
i think the point was that jesus was going to raise "the temple" which is his body, i.e.
jesus will resurrect himself.
