Terry, thanks for sharing.
Do you know who edited these books? I just finished reading "How we found out about ATOMS."
Overall, it was a nice review of the history of atomic theory. But I was really surprised he didn't even mention Dmitri Mendeleev, the Russian chemist that worked out the Periodic table. Also notably missing was the work of J. J. Thomson and his discovery of the electron and Ernest Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment. He really glossed over the late 1800s - early 1900's.
Also, there were a lot of typographical errors.
It's be nice if there was a cleaner, typo-free copy for educational purposes.

coalize: Without consequence? I'm not sure!
What possible consequence could there be for answer "no" to that question?
Only an idiot would say "yes" to it. They've changed their teachings so many times no one can keep track of all of the doctrinal changes, and quite of few have tried.

Searcher, the problem which you miss is that these questions are not equivalent.
- "Don't you believe that this is God's spirit-directed organization?"
- "Do you believe everything which the faithful slave says?"
-
The second is about doctrinal inerrancy and the first is about loyalty.
A JW can answer "no" to the second question without consequence, but not the first. -

Steve2: the organization is obliquely signaling they know ex-Witnesses at times argue among themselves.
This is good. When you're a JW you aren't allowed to argue or disagree about anything important.
One of the best things about leaving this religion is that you can openly disagree with just about anything.

What if JWs Viewed Disfellowshipping and Excommunication as Radical Islamists Do?
by Oubliette ini found this statement from a recent article about isis to be quite interesting in view of the way that any jw can be accused of apostasy with little or no possible repercussions or consequences for the accuser: .
in islam, the practice of takfir, or excommunication, is theologically perilous.
if a man says to his brother, you are an infidel, the prophet said, then one of them is right.

Vidiot, I'm glad you and your dad were able to move beyond the insanity of this cult!
It's really unbelievable what it does to people.
