Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wallis takes on all the shades of gray. He dissects the experience of this religion with laser precision" - Lisa, igotout.org "Wallis not only shines a light on the psychological turmoil caused by the organization's policies but does so with such intelligence, empathy, and personal understanding" - Allison Del Fium, What the Faith Podcast What is it like to suffer Religious Trauma Syndrome while still inside a High Demand Religious Organization? What causes Religious Trauma Syndrome and what are the risks that come with continuing participation? A Voice From Inside presents the rare voice of a critical insider of the Watch Tower Society, offering an account of the experience, how people are struggling, and what can be done to survive and move forward. Writing under a pseudonym, Geoffrey Wallis courageously explains what has led many to label the Jehovah's Witnesses as a Captive Organization and how the community's policies lead to the phenomenon of Physically-In-Mentally-Out (PIMO). With raw honesty, the author tells the gripping story of his journey through Religious Trauma Syndrome as an active Jehovah's Witness. He discusses the experience of stigmatized LGBTQ+ members, moral injury PTSD in the newly disillusioned, and what it's like to rise up the ranks of the organization's hierarchy. Along the way, he boldly speaks out about how to protect fellow members by calling for regulation to protect the religious freedoms of PIMOs and teaching others to reverse-engineer manipulative psychology with mindfulness practice. Written to help bring change to the Jehovah's Witness community as a whole, but also for anyone struggling with religious trauma, A Voice from Inside is both a witness to the experience of living in an HDRG as well as a clarion call for change and healing in a world that sorely needs it.

Book excerpt: Answers you need to witness effectively to Jehovah's Witnesses When Jehovah's Witnesses come to your door, have you ever wished you could get them off their memorized scripts and show them what the Bible really teaches?

Download or read book Leaving the Witness written by Amber Scorah and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating glimpse into the consciousness of being an outsider in every possible way, and what it takes to find your path into the life you'd like to lead."--Nylon A riveting memoir of losing faith and finding freedom while a covert missionary in one of the world's most restrictive countries. 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. As a proselytizer in Shanghai, using fake names and secret codes to evade the authorities' notice, Scorah discreetly looked for targets in public parks and stores. To support herself, she found work at a Chinese language learning podcast, hiding her real purpose from her coworkers. Now with a creative outlet, getting to know worldly people for the first time, she began to understand that there were other ways of seeing the world and living a fulfilling life. When one of these relationships became an "escape hatch," Scorah's loss of faith culminated in her own personal apocalypse, the only kind of ending possible for a Jehovah's Witness. Shunned by family and friends as an apostate, Scorah was alone in Shanghai and thrown into a world she had only known from the periphery--with no education or support system. A coming of age story of a woman already in her thirties, this unforgettable memoir examines what it's like to start one's life over again with an entirely new identity. It follows Scorah to New York City, where a personal tragedy forces her to look for new ways to find meaning in the absence of religion. With compelling, spare prose, Leaving the Witness traces the bittersweet process of starting over, when everything one's life was built around is gone.

Download or read book Understanding Jehovah s Witnesses written by Robert M. Bowman and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 1991 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This new translation of Horace's most widely read collection of poetry is rendered in modern, metrical English verse rather than the more common free verse found in many other translations. Jeffrey H. Kaimowitz adapts the Roman poet's rich and metrically varied poetry to English formal verse, reproducing the works in a way that maintains fidelity to the tone, timbre, and style of the originals while conforming to the rules of English prosody. Each poem is true to the sense and aesthetic pleasure of the Latin and carries with it the dignity, concision, and movement characteristic of Horace's writing. Kaimowitz presents each translation with annotations, providing the context necessary for understanding and enjoying Horace's work. He also comments on textual instability and explains how he constructed his verse renditions to mirror Horatian Latin. Horace and The Odes are introduced in lively fashion by noted classicist Ronnie Ancona"--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At first, the Watchtower Society seemed harmless to William J. Schnell, even valuable as a way to develop his faith in God and pass it on to others. This book is Schnell's fascinating account of his involvement with the cult, which effectively enticed him in the 1920s and continues to lure countless individuals today. Readers will learn, as Schnell did, that the Jehovah's Witness religion he had joined was anything but innocent. For thirty years he was enslaved by one of the most totalitarian religions of our day, and his story of finally becoming free is riveting. Readers will be alerted to the inner machinations, methods, and doctrines of the Watchtower Society, arming them to forewarn others and witness to their Jehovah's Witness friends, relatives, neighbors, and the stranger at the door. With more than 300,000 copies sold, 30 Years a Watchtower Slave is truly one of the classic testimonies of freedom from a powerful cult.

Download or read book Christian Conversations with Jehovah s Witnesses written by Christian R. Darlington and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow the inspiring dialogues between a Christian named Karen and a Jehovah's Witness named Cindy as they discuss the Watchtower brochure What Does God Require of Us? and explore the core differences between Biblical Christianity and the Watchtower religion. In this book, Biblical truth is presented in an effective way that challenges the common reasoning embraced by faithful members of the Watchtower organization. Originally published under the title What Does God Require?, this book is the product of experiences the author had talking with Jehovah's Witnesses of all levels of leadership. Written in dialogue format, this book includes photocopies of the pages referenced from official Watchtower publications and other sources essential for Christians using this book to witness to Jehovah's Witnesses. Discussion topics are: New Light Changes In Watchtower Doctrine False Prophecies Of The Watchtower Society The Watchtower's Definition Of A Cult Watchtower History and Cover-ups The Jehovah's Witness Claim To Be The Only True Religion The Divine Name Jehovah The Trinity And The Deity Of Christ Faith and Works in Salvation Blood Transfusions War And Political Neutrality Holiday And Birthdays Celebrations Hell and Immortal Soul The Cross Loyalty To Jehovah God A Christian who reads Christian Conversations with JWs will not only learn the reasoning behind many of the doctrinal differences that separate Jehovah's Witnesses from Biblical Christianity, but he or she will be inspired to approach Jehovah's Witnesses in a more gentle, non-confrontational way that will help open the door to more effective dialogues rather than closed-minded defensive debates. Likewise, any thinking Jehovah's Witness will find the documentation presented from Watchtower publications and solid Biblical arguments stimulating to: "Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine." (1 Thessalonians 5:21, New World Translation) Regarding the Karen and Cindy conversations in this book, readers have said: "I am currently studying each and every page of the Karen and Cindy studies, looking up every Bible passage. They are very well put together, very well documented, with references and all, enormously helpful!" "I had Jehovah's Witnesses visiting for six years. ... The sad thing is now I have their beliefs in my head. So I put myself into God's hands and asked for direction. ...Well, the feeling of freedom is amazing. I am like a child, learning again for the first time. The reason I had to write to you was the Karen and Cindy conversations. Instead of me asking for help, one question at a time, they are all there for me!! It seems as if 'Cindy' could read my mind. It's so lovely for things to fall into place... I was scared while I did not understand even the tiny bit I do now. It's such a joy instead of feeling unworthy (we're all sinners I know) and feeling I would never be saved or go to Heaven. So, please thank God and Jesus with me for such help." "As you know... I am in prison... I know that every soul you help touch is a seed that might grow to touch hundreds and thousands... For example, the What Does God Require book you sent me some time back has been making its rounds around this prison yard. And many Jehovah's Witnesses have been raising lots of questions and are re-thinking their faith... Again, thank you for your ministry... Keep up the great work!"
