Apocalypse Delayed -by James Penton
This is a good overview of Watchtower history. It reveals just how many predictions they got wrong, and how many doctrines fell by the wayside. Fortunately, the writer sticks to the facts and doesn’t get into doctrinal debates.

i really do believe that there is a right time for all the things to make it happen.
Please visit my website for information about the Watchtower Society’s harmful policies.
As a former J.W. I remember the misinformation campaign carried out against Mr. Penton. We heard all sorts of stories, that Mr. Penton had a pride problem; that he tried to lure the weaker ones away from meetings and field service; that he’d attempted to sell one of his books at the conventions.
At no time did I ever hear that he had exposed the Society’s false teachings/failed prophecies.
Later, researching those same topics, I stumbled across a site referencing his book. The title said it all: Apocalypse Delayed.
The Society doesn’t hesitate to expose religions’ supposed false teachings, while they disfellowship members for engaging in the same activity–if it’s directed at their own organization!
