Misrepresenting the 1914 Parousia in Watch Tower History
Watchtower references to C.T. Russell and the Bible Students looking forward to the Coming of Christ in 1914, in view of the known history that Russell believed for the rest of his life that it had already occurred in 1874, and this was the general doctrine about the parousia until the 1930s.

"Modesty" and "Speculations" of the
Watchtower Society's "Faithful and Discreet Slave"
A sampling of prophetic "speculations" by leaders of the Watchtower leaders over the years in light of their present-day conclusion about their history.

The Controversy about "What Is a CULT"
By some definitions, Jesus and his apostles were a cult among the Jews in their day. There is difference of opinion--even among former members--as to whether Jehovah's Witnesses should be labeled a cult. Perhaps it all depends on your definition.

The Father/Son Relationship

by Ron Frye, former Circuit Overseer
This 87-page booklet is a comprehensive coverage of the relationship and respective dignities represented in God and his Son, Jesus Christ. The Hebrew view of monotheism is presented as the context in which Jesus' life and ministry must be evaluated and understood. The author argues that the question that needed to be answered in the first century was not "Is Jesus God?" but "Is Jesus the Messiah?" While acknowledging the Son's deity, it is presented as lesser in glory than the Father's deity. The booklet also covers the development of the Trinity doctrine in the centuries following the establishment of the Christian church and is presented as biblically unsound.

My Christian Quest by Ronald Frye
From Jehovah's Witness to Son of God

Ronald E. Frye, a second generation Jehovah's Witness, devoted more than thirty years to this religious movement. During that time he served as a Congregation Overseer in five different congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses. He also served as a Pioneer, Special Pioneer and Circuit Overseer. From this informed and experienced perspective his memoirs are written.
The painful discoveries that shattered his confidence in this dogmatic and authoritarian religion, and which led to his being disfellowshiped, are chronicled in this book. The opening chapter portrays the brutal consequences of family division which have affected tens of thousands of those who have separated themselves from this religion due to matters of conscience.
His post-Jehovah's Witness life and ministry should provide encouragement to others who long to escape the spiritually suffocating effect of religious tyranny and breathe the life-giving air of freedoom in Christ.
