Congregation had to relocate Memorial...thanks to me
by Shepherd Book inso, the two local congregations were planning to hold their memorial together at 7:30 at the local community center, but they had to make a last-minute change to their own hall, and i'm pretty sure it was because of me.. let me explain.... at work on monday afternoon, a co-worker returned from her lunchbreak and showed me the memorial invitation that was waiitng in her door when she went home for lunch.
i noticed the sticker on the back indicated the memorial was being held, not at the local hall, but at the community center.
from a past (non-jw) event i attended there, i knew they didn't allow alcohol (unless you pay for security guards), so i wrote to the center's coordinator:.

Defending Judicial Meetings
by Shepherd Book inmy publisher recently posted a link to an atricle critical of jws on my book's facebook page.. to my surprise, the comments were all by loyal jws (or, at least, jw apologists).. if anyone would like to help out by providing a rational rebuttal to their arguments, i'd appreciate it.
i reponded, but it's hard to cover everything.. here's the link.

College Class about JWs .... book suggestions?
by Shepherd Book ini have the opportunity to take an independent study class through my university this summer.
my advisor, a history professor, suggested i choose jehovah's witnesses as a topic.. we are now trying to formulate a syllabus.
she suggests i write two papers: one on the history of jws, and another on their doctinal approach.. so now my question is...what books/articles/videos do i list on my syllabus as sources i intend to read and use for the papers?.
