Sixty Questions Every Jehovah's Witness Should Be Asked is an excellent book for both Jehovah's Witnesses and persons interested in the Jehovah's Witnesses. This well written short book covers both doctrine (much on the person of Christ, the Holy Spirit, the End Times Doctrine and other commonly discussed issues) and the problem of failed prophesy. It also covers the many, many doctrinal somersaults in the Watchtower's history, such as their flip flop on the 12 constellations of the Zodiac (once considered to be of Divine origin, now considered to be of Satanic origin). This book is well referenced and includes many quotes from Watchtower publications to support the author's conclusions. Also, much material is included on the many lives lost due to the vaccination prohibition (the Watchtower once taught that "vaccination is a direct violation of the everlasting covenant that God made with Noah after the Flood." Now the practice is encouraged) and the blood transfusion prohibition (which has also changed drastically in recent years, from blood of any type is prohibited to the recent changes which allow most blood fractions including factor VIII and IX, and now they even allow fractions of the forbidden fractions! No doubt soon the whole doctrine will be scraped (and the sooner the better, according to my Witness friends!)

The Author starts with a biased viewpoint and the questions and opinions he expresses are set out to prove the witnesses wrong. He has obviously done a great deal of research, however, his research is biased towards trying to disprove the beliefs of the witnesses and in many arguments he uses "fuzzy logic". Using technicalities that are bound to confuse witnesses that you might meet with, not necessarily finding a rebuttle to their beliefs. I can not hold much weight in many of his arguments either, as I believe that his logic is often flawed and his arguments only raise more questions rather that providing any real answers. Perhaps Mr. Brown should focus more on building up that just tearing down, his objective is pure and simple "When a witness comes to your door, use everything in your power to destroy, belittle, embarass, harass and humble them." I'm sure there are many good witnesses out there, surely this is not an approach of love.
