Reviews

[Paul Brandel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is one of the very best books exposing the JWs.The author goes through their history and their
many failed prophesies.1914 was to be the end,no wait 1925,no 1942,or 1945...no wait 1975 for sure!
By the I was with this strange religious group back in the '70s.Oh I loved how the writer talks about how the founder of the Witnesses was a real charlatan! Of course only a few JWs would dare read this book.

Since leaving the Jehovah's Witnesses I've read
Over 20 books on the Witnesses. This is THE
best book on the JW's!
