Tausend Dank, I have this book and it is a must read if you want to know the truth about JW's/Watchtower Society.
An old sister said to me once. "The truth does not need to be defended because it is the truth" In short it is others that need to prove that it isn't the truth. Crisis of Conscience in fact does that.
Crisis of Conscience confirms what I knew and had reservations about for many years. It is not a book of malice. . As a whole JW's are good/sincere people but, it is a religion and any religon with a power structure can be corrupted and this book give evidence of that. A group of "inspired" men that arbitrarily decide the fate of its followers thru democratic means. Where's the inspiration? I'm not try to sound bitter here but realistic. This book was key in leading me in a understand of how the organization is really ran. Ray's depiction of Bethel is similar to the stories I have heard from people that have served at Bethel.I had studied the early church and found that the early church did not opporate and the Watchtower Society now does.
I will say that is no such thing as the perfect church. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that they are. We are have to meet with fellow believers somewhere. It is wise to investigate your church/faith in light of the Scriptures like the those in Beroean's... Acts 17:11 The faith that one ascribes to should be open for discussion,pleasing to their creator and in harmony with their scriptures.
Crisis of Consciences show that the Watchtower Society is not perfect. But that a lot of good-loving people are in its ranks. It also shows that interpretations were those of imperfect men. Do not all interpretaions belong to GOD? It is a travesty to twist facts to support a belief. The Truth will stand on its own.
To Those afraid to read this book have been duped. This book has not been discredited by anyone in over the Twenty + years since its release except by the Watchtower Society. In any legal courtcase a good Judge hears both sides of a story and determines from personal experience and knowledge what is true. Even If Jehovah's Witnesses found some truth in this book the could never discuss it with anyone of their faith. What kind of religion is that?
The Watchtower Society is not perfect like it presents itself. For those who choose to serve the WT. Society; should at least know the truth about how it really opperates.
Once again a Thousand Thanks.

To all that now have free access to this book you are welcome.
As LeeEtta says all people deserve to know the truth. I did not release this book with the intention of subverting any ones faith. In fact a read of this book may help those questioning their faith, as it answers questions that are just not acceptable to ask in the congregation.
To those that stumble after reading this I sincerely hope that it has not made you stumble too far away from God, and you have found a path that you are comfortable with.
To all: Trust Jehovah
"1 Don't be annoyed by anyone
who does wrong,
and don't envy them.
2 They will soon disappear
like grass without rain.
3 Trust the LORD and live right!
The land will be yours,
and you will be safe.
4 Do what the LORD wants,
and he will give you
your heart's desire.
5 Let the LORD lead you
and trust him to help.
6 Then it will be as clear
as the noonday sun
that you were right.
7 Be patient and trust the LORD.
Don't let it bother you
when all goes well for those
who do sinful things."
?Psalms 37:1-7, Contemporary English Version
