This review is from: The Facts on Jehovah's Witnesses (The Anker Series) (Paperback)

I was amazed at how John Ankerberg compiled a list of what well-known and respected Greek scholars had to say after reviewing The New World Translation. Christian and non-Christian scholars alike said it was full of mistranslations. It will break your heart to read how this organization has lied and deceived so many sincere people.

People, I can't believe these totally unscholarly reviews. First of all, not everyone has an opportunity to interview a Jehovah's Witness, so not everyone can get the facts from them. Number two, Jehovah's Witnesses are sure to be ignorant (whether willfully or not) of the history of lie-telling the watchtower has. Number three, this book is a fairly good introduction to JW doctrines and beliefs. Good expose of the NWT "Translation." Nice summary of JW history. The defense of the Trinity they offer is weak in some areas, but all in all this is a good book and a good buy. Whoever it was that accused Dr. Ankerberg of being a liar is quite wrong. Dr. Ankerberg is an exemplary Christian who I myself look up to. In fact, he's the guy who got me into apologetics. (Different story.) Anyway, I highly recommend this book as an introduction the Jehovah's Witness doctrine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just a thought........, August 19, 2001

I just wanted to ask the "Jehovah's Witnesses" who made commments on this website, if the "Elders" (or head church members -for those people who do not know the term) knew that they had read this book. From what I know as a former Jehovah's Witness, a true Jehovah's Witness cannot read books like this one because the group considers this type of book as "apostate material" that is unfit for a true Christian to read. Any Jehovah's Witness that did read the book is actually going against the church and could be severely punished for doing so.

My point is, do not make any judgements on this book without actually reading it first and try to look at it with an 'unbaised' attitude. If a person cannot seperate their strong feelings one way or the other toward the group, I do not believe they are able to give a 'unbiased' opinion on how beneficial or non-beneficial this book really is.
