Greg Stafford no longer a JW
by My Struggle inthis may be old news to some while most won't even know who he is.
in case you don't know him, he was a jw that defended many of the jw doctrine publicly.
he did this mainly in the form of two books, jw's defended and three dissertations on the teachings of jw's.

Only 37% of people raised as JW's stay JW's when adult.....
by My Struggle inthis comes from a religious study of several faiths which included jehovah's witnesses.
there is a ton of data in this research and there are several things that are very interesting about jw's especially when compared with other denominations/faiths.
you can do a basic search of the study here http://religions.pewforum.org/portraits .

When did apostasy set in?
by My Struggle ini know that dubs think that apostasy set in quickly in the early church, but i am not certain how early the think that it set in.
do they think that it was in the apostolic fathers, directly after them, legalization of christianity, etc.

How could an ex-Jw become Catholic
by My Struggle ini don't mean this to be offensive to any catholics in any way and believe that they can have true salvation unlike the jw.
also, i know little about the in's and out's of practicing catholicism, as i have never had any interest in being one.
regardless i am always surprised when an ex-jw says that they have found the real truth in catholicism.

Questions about 144,000 and salvation: perseverance and assurance.
by My Struggle inawhile back i was trying to understand how the wtbts understood the salvation of the 144,000. when looking up articles it seemed on the surface to be similar to how many christians view salvation.
the similarities were in the standard christian doctrines of perseverance and assurance.
(i know that jw in general do not have assurance of their salvation, they believe that they cannot have salvation until they make it into paradise.
