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?.

Six extra Jehovahs!
by slimboyfat inthe old nwt used the name jehovah 7207 times and the new nwt uses it 7213 times.. has anyone worked out where the extra jehovahs appear in the text?
who wants to play where's wally, i mean where's jehovah?
however there's an even bigger jump in jesuses: 940 up from 918.. satan is exactly the same at 54..

The epitome of narcissism
by Separation of Powers inthere are several disturbing things that were said in the latest annual meeting.
one of the most disturbing was a comment made by david splane.
he made reference to how the clergy "howled" when the first new world bible translation committee produced the first nwt.
