well-researched and easily accessible text,

the 1990's (as Martin passed away in 1989).Kingdom
of the Cults has always been a trusted
resource in times where accurate information is
imperative to someone's salvation from the
strange world of cults and the occult.Ranging
in topics from the structure of cults to how
cults are encountered on the mission field, many
cults and movements are described in full, and
intimate details of the inner workings can
sometimes be indicative of where a cult may be
leading. For anyone considering joining any of
these groups or looking for more information for
a friend or family member, this is an invaluable
resource.SMM 2/16/5 original

10 Most Important Things You Can Say to a
Jehovah's Witness
By Ron Rhodes / Harvest House Publishers
Are Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on your door
and asking you questions? Do you have a friend
or family member involved with the Jehovah's
Witnesses? Are you unsure of what to say to
them? Looking for a little certainty, a little
confidence? Then you will really enjoy this
book.
Cult expert Ron Rhodes has compiled a list of
ten pivotal issues that need to be brought up
with Jehovah's Witnesses. Though short
(concise), this book is accurate, and fair, and
offers all the relevant information to make you
more confident in your dealings with the
Jehovah's Witnesses.
Rhodes' goals for this book? Simple:
- To identify the ten most critical
issues/problems
- To examine the exact nature of each
doctrinal error
- To contrast the cultic teachings of the
Jehovah's Witnesses with the truth revealed
in the Bible
- To review basic principles of Bible
interpretation (with a view toward showing
how the Jehovah's Witnesses do not follow
them)
- To explain the correct meaning of the
numerous Bible verses that the Jehovah's
Witnesses (and other cults) cite incorrectly
or out of context
Does Rhodes achieve these goals? Quite admirably
so. His exposition of the history, doctrine and
practices of the Jehovah's Witnesses is truly
eye-opening, and will greatly encourage all who
seek to reach out to Jehovah's Witnesses with
the truth. His strong biblical stance, and his
passion for the truth are infectious, and will
aid anyone in their conversations with Jehovah's
Witnesses (and other cults as well). With an
easy-to-use layout, and clear, concise
descriptions, this book is great for quick
referencing.
After reading this book, not only will you be
able to stand your ground against the arguments
of the Jehovah's Witnesses, you will also be
able to more effectively share the gospel with
them.

30 Years a Watchtower Slave
By William Schnell / Baker
If you are looking for a theological treatise on the doctrines of the Jehovah's Witnesses, this is not the book for you. But if you are looking for an eyewitness account of what it was like to be part of the Jehovah's Witnesses, you will enjoy this book. William Schnell got into the organization because he was seeking Christian fellowship and teaching. And for a while, the Berlin Bible Student Ecclesia, offered him just that. Then, the Watchtower Society, which was over the Bible Students, began to impose their goals and literature, beginning what Schnell now sees as the enslavement of millions.
Schnell traces the history of the Jehovah's Witnesses (Watchtower Society), and the changes instituted by Judge Rutherford when he succeeded founder Charles Taze Russell. He looks at the organization in the United States and around the world. He exposes some of the doctrinal changes made to make the organization seem more palatable, and looks at how success in the courts empowered the Witnesses. Schnell follows the attempt of the Witnesses to create a worldwide theocracy, as it was imposed on him and countless other Witnesses. He offers a warning, and advice for what to do when Witnesses come to your door.
But the most interesting aspects of the book are those personal details of Schnell's journey from slave to free. He entered the Witnesses voluntarily, because they offered the love and fellowship he sought. But changes made by the leadership slowly enslaved him. But by the grace of God, Schnell was able to get free, and he vowed to tell his story once he did. It's a fascinating and uplifting story that will offer hope to all those seeking freedom from the oppressive hand of the leaders of the Witnesses. Its also a dire warning to Christians about the actual plans of the Watchtower Society. You will be glad you read this book.

Answering Jehovah's Witnesses Subject by Subject
By David Reed / Baker
Topic-by-topic, readers can use this alphabetically organized guidebook to learn what Jehovah's Witnesses teach. David A. Reed's previous book, Jehovah's Witnesses Answered Verse by Verse, covered subjects in which Scripture passages are used as proof-texts for Jehovah's Witnesses' belief. But not all teachings developed by the Watchtower Society relate to Scripture, and not all Jehovah's Witnesses are prepared to compare interpretation of the Bible. These brief articles, organized according to subject, help readers quickly understand the basics of the group's history, changing doctrinal stances, and distinctive ideas.SMM 9/29/5 correction
