Author Biography

Wilbur Lingle received a B.A. and M.A. from Bob Jones University and was a missionary in Japan for 35 years. In 1989 he started Love to Share Ministries; one of its purposes was to inform people about the Watchtower organization. From his in-depth study of the Watchtower Society, he has a desire to make available much little-known information about the Jehovah's Witnesses, so that those both inside and outside the organization will have a clear understanding of the history and true nature of this group.
