Publisher's summary
This is the story of a young man who was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, seemingly destined to spend the rest of his life following the instruction of God's "Spirit Directed Organization". He soon came to discover, however, that things were not as they had first seemed. Following a patch of doubt and subsequent in-depth investigation into the religion, the young man began to realize that the things he had previously accepted without question no longer made sense. His eyes were opened to the various powerful methods that were, and still are, being used to control the minds of the faith's followers.
The story contained in this audiobook describes the author's life, from his upbringing as a Jehovah's Witness, his struggles along the way, and the challenges he faced as he tried to break free. His extensive research into the religion's history is also documented, including apparent accounts of questionable teachings and manipulative methodologies.

Story
Jehovah's Witnesses number into the millions globally and are well known for their public evangelism about God's kingdom. But beneath the facade of brotherly love and organizational unity lies a captive organization in which doubts are stifled, and dissent is ruthlessly crushed. Once a Witness stops believing, they face being ostracized as a loathed "mentally diseased" apostate. Author Lloyd Evans is a well-known ex-Witness writer and activist. He draws on his firsthand, insider knowledge as a former elder to guide would-be escapees through the minefield that awaits them.

Story
A third-generation Jehovah's Witness, Amber Scorah had devoted her life to sounding God's warning of impending Armageddon. She volunteered to take the message to China, where the preaching she did was illegal and could result in her expulsion or worse. Here, she had some distance from her community for the first time. Immersion in a foreign language and culture - and a whole new way of thinking - turned her world upside down, and eventually led her to lose all that she had been sure was true.

What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join - and more importantly, stay in - extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has.

"Forty-four percent of the American population is convinced that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead sometime in the next 50 years," writes Sam Harris. "Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the U.S. government actually believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this...should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency."

On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don't see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make?

Frank Schaeffer has a problem with Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Dennett, and the rest of the New Atheists—the self-anointed “Brights.” He also has a problem with the Rick Warrens and Tim LaHayes of the world—the religious fundamentalists. The problem is that he doesn’t see much of a difference between the two camps. As Schaeffer puts it, they “often share the same fallacy: truth claims that reek of false certainties.

Story
The Ten Commandments are the first direct communication between a people and God. Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the sublime levels humanity is capable of experiencing, they are the blueprint of God's expectations of us and his plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life. Each commandment asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focus point for real-life issues relating to God, family, sex, work, charity, property, speech, and thought.

Story
Saint Augustine is one of the most influential figures in all of Christianity, yet his path to sainthood was by no means assured. Born in AD 354 to a pagan father and a Christian mother, Augustine spent the first 30 years of his life struggling to understand the nature of God and his world. He learned about Christianity as a child but was never baptized, choosing instead to immerse himself in the study of rhetoric, Manicheanism, and then Neoplatonism - all the while indulging in a life of lust and greed.

Story
Gripped by the tale of a Messiah whose blood we drink and body we eat, the genre-defying author Emmanuel Carrère revisits the story of the early Church in his latest work. With an idiosyncratic and at times iconoclastic take on the charms and foibles of the Church fathers, Carrère ferries listeners through his "doors" into the biblical narrative. Once inside, he follows the ragtag group of early Christians through the tumultuous days of the faith's founding.

I don't know where to begin
I enjoyed your book. I am sure many others feel as the book was an account of our own experience as Jehovah's witnesses. It is refreshing to know others have taken a step to leave, but not only to leave in haste, instead to do so with the purpose of finding knowledge. If we leave only to remain in ignorance we would have accomplished nothing.
Thank you for sharing. For my part I have taken a similar approach as you. It has been lonely and full of struggles but I am happy with the knowledge that I now posses and continue to gain from a world full of information and wonder.
Continue the great work. Thank you "brother"

Informative and thought provoking.
I really enjoyed this book. I felt it gave a thought provoking look into a religion that isn't well know. I am not a Jehovah's Witness but have been learning about the religion (a hobby of mine) and his observations and research are right in line with some of the finer points I have come across and questioned. Over all it is well researched and thought provoking.
I like the narration but be forewarned that it does have a text book feel.

100% truth.
Wow 100% truth. I relate to so much of this story. Jehovah's Witnesses need to be exposed and the victims need to know there's support. This is a doomsday cult run by rich white Americans. I really love how this book exposes that fact.

Spot on
This is a very clear and easy to follow compilation of things that can be very confusing to some but obviously clear to a true seeker of truth. I found my own story here in many examples and came to similar questions that were left hanging on weak answers during my own separation journey that began 50 years ago. A must read for anyone who has the courage to expect the truth.

Good but fast narrator
This kept me interested and wanted to finish it all at once however the pace of the narrator could have been slower in order to absorb the information. Felt it was too fast pass.

Varied
Personally was sad that Anthony's experience as a witness so discredited God in his heart and mind that, having left JW, he was unable to find Him and has become either an aethiest (or possibly agnostic)
positives: Great narration, easy to listen to. Also easy to follow Anthony's telling of his story. Suggest the actual written book may be more helpful for anyone wanting to cross reference scriptures and quotes from JW's books/articles. I appreciated Anthony's honesty and it corroborated other books about the control exercised by the watchtower.
Negatives: to me very flawed arguments clearly biased towards things like evolution which he assumes is a valid theory saying theory is really a statement of facts. I would argue that theory is a conclusion of facts..which means the facts must be absolute truth (which isnhighly debatable) The Bible has many books and acientific evidence to support the truth that it claims (eg Evidence that demands a Verdict - Josh McDowell) with updates as science increasingly confirms biblical statements.
Such statements he makes is in itself biasing listeners to his point of view rather than allowing space for different worldviews.
I did feel the story ended a bit ubruptly not sharing how he then was treated by his family and friends..his experiences after leaving and his life after JW.

Understanding
As a public school teacher having students that were Jehovah Witnesses I wanted to have a better understanding and found I did not know much about the Jehovah witness faith. This book enlightened me. Thank you.
