Review: Hi I just would like to say that this is a terrible description of the witnesses. We believe that jesus died for all of us, and even in king james it tells you god's name is Jehovah. Psalms83:18, not to mention 3 other places. We believe the "soul" passes away, read Ezek. 18:4,and read psalms 146:4,and there will be a resurrection of the dead,read john 5:28, and Isaiah 26: 19-21."Blessed are the meek, for they shall INHERIT the earth" matt.5:5 WE all are commanded from jesus to go preach the good news, that's why we do it, out of love.

Summary: Horrible
Review: I believe that Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth. Anyone who allows themselves to believe rumors and accusations without first speaking with the witnesses are just as ignorant as the author. You need an unbiased approach, not that of the example we have here. They use the New World Translation (not a version) and do not limit themselves to just that. Plus in addition they not only print the New World Translation but other translations as well, such as the King James Version. Jehovah's Witness teachings reflect the teachings of the 1st century Congregation and not that of tradition etc. Former JW's are those who wanted power and glory for themselves but they couldn't get it there because the witnesses serve God and not men. So such proud ones are removed to protect the congregation. I would strongly sugest that this book should be considers not trustworthy.

Summary: Just a thought........
Review: I just wanted to ask the "Jehovah's Witnesses" who made commments on this website, if the "Elders" (or head church members -for those people who do not know the term) knew that they had read this book. From what I know as a former Jehovah's Witness, a true Jehovah's Witness cannot read books like this one because the group considers this type of book as "apostate material" that is unfit for a true Christian to read. Any Jehovah's Witness that did read the book is actually going against the church and could be severely punished for doing so. My point is, do not make any judgements on this book without actually reading it first and try to look at it with an 'unbaised' attitude. If a person cannot seperate their strong feelings one way or the other toward the group, I do not believe they are able to give a 'unbiased' opinion on how beneficial or non-beneficial this book really is.

Summary: A great read
Review: I've found this book to be very helpful in my study of the Watchtower organization. A great read for those who are may have encountered a Jehovah's Witness for the first time or are unfaimliar with the religion, as it offers a brief history of the organization,and analyzes many of their doctrines. As you may have noticed, all the negative reveiws of this book offer no real supporting evidence for their claims of the book being "distorted, inaccurate regurgitations of half truths". I DID go to the JW"s for the "facts", and almost became a member of a local congregation. Praise the Lord Jesus for keeping from making the biggest mistake of my life. This book is a welcome addition to any Christian's library.

Review: Instead of hearing distorted, inaccurate regurgitations of half truths..why not ask a real live Witness the "facts"? Afterall, that's what a considerate, intelligent and truth-seeking person would do.

Summary: O boy
Review: People, I can't believe these totally unscholarly reviews. First of all, not everyone has an opportunity to interview a Jehovah's Witness, so not everyone can get the facts from them. Number two, Jehovah's Witnesses are sure to be ignorant (whether willfully or not) of the history of lie-telling the watchtower has. Number three, this book is a fairly good introduction to JW doctrines and beliefs. Good expose of the NWT "Translation." Nice summary of JW history. The defense of the Trinity they offer is weak in some areas, but all in all this is a good book and a good buy. Whoever it was that accused Dr. Ankerberg of being a liar is quite wrong. Dr. Ankerberg is an exemplary Christian who I myself look up to. In fact, he's the guy who got me into apologetics. (Different story.) Anyway, I highly recommend this book as an introduction the Jehovah's Witness doctrine.
