Brenda Lee, "Out of the Cocoon: A young woman's courageous flight from the
grip of a religious cult," Robert D. Reed, (2006).
 | An anonymous website has a "Theocratic Library" containing publications of the WTS and splinter groups from 1894 to 1959. It may be quite useful to persons researching how WTS teachings have evolved over time. See: http://205.134.162.24/ |
| "Watchtower Documents LLC" lists dozens of historical documents from 1843 to 2008. See: http://www.watchtowerdocuments.com/ |
Pro-WTS Internet resources:
There seem to be relatively few WWW sites maintained by Jehovah's Witnesses. The group has apparently restricted Internet participation by its members (ref. Kingdom Ministry, 1995-SEP).
| The official web site of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania is at: http://www.watchtower.org/ |
| The Public Affairs Office of the WTS has a web site for their "news releases, faqs, backgrounders, religious freedom issues, etc," at: http://www.jw-media.org |
| A web site which lists the Jehovah's Witness' postal addresses is at: http://www.afn.org/~witness/wtbts.html |
| An excellent, balanced, information page in support of the Witnesses is at: http://jehovah.to/ |
| Joel Elliott has written a fascinating article on the special theocratic language of Jehovah's Witnesses at: http://www.unc.edu/ |
| "Tom Sheepandgoats" sponsors a blog that is supportive of Jehovah's Witnesses at http://carriertom.typepad.com/ |
Anti-WTS and WTS information resources:
There are many WWW sites established by ex-Jehovah's Witnesses or non-Jehovah's Witnesses. Some are humorous, others critical, a few downright paranoid:
| Bethel Antiquarian Books is a mail order bookstore specializing in old and rare Watchtower publications. They publish a catalog, and an occasional newsletter New Acquisitions. See: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/ |
| Beyond Jehovah's Witnesses is one of the more objective and gentle ex-JW web sites; it is also one of the oldest. See: http://www.beyondjw.com |
| Joel Elliott has a personal home page which includes excerpts from his university dissertation project on the Witnesses. See: http://www.unc.edu/~elliott/ |
| E-Watchman is a massive web site by Robert King, a long-time Jehovah's Witness. It features essays, questions and answers, commentaries, current events, and criticisms of the WTS. See: http://e-watchman.com |
| Ex-Jehovah's Witness Forum and Recovery Site is a support and friends forum for ex-Jehovah's Witnesses, for those considering leaving, and for those interested in the faith group. See: http://exjehovahswitnessforum.yuku.com |
| Free Minds, Inc has a website called Watchers of the Watchtower World at: http://www.freeminds.org/ |
| Jesus-Witnesses is a mailing list for Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses and other interested people (Christian or non-Christian). To subscribe, contact: caesar@world.std.com |
| Progressive Alternative is a liberal web site directed to JWs. It is different from other ex-Jehovah's Witnesses sites; it rejects sexism, homophobia, and extreme conservative Christianity. See: http://www.angelfire.com/ |
| The Secular Web's essay: "Giving the Jehovah's Witnesses a Broadside" is at: http://www.infidels.org/ |
| The Watchtower Observer is a massive site (over 100 M bytes) which is critical of Jehovah's Witnesses: http://watchtower.observer.org |
| The Watchtower Victims Memorial was a Web site "dedicated to the memory of Jehovah's Witnesses and their minor children who died as a result of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society's organizational decrees banning blood transfusions, organ transplants and skin grafts (1967-1980), and vaccinations, and discouraging care by psychiatrists and psychologists -- as well as other individuals whose deaths due to suicide, abandonment, etc., are attributable to the Watchtower Society." See: http://www.ajwrb.org/ |
| Danny Haszard maintains an anti-Witness attack web site at: http://www.dannyhaszard.com |
