Product Description
by Daniel Clark (Author)
Jehovah's Witnesses: The one true faith, or a cult? For Daniel Clark - a family man, devout member of the Watchtower Society and bringer of "Ther Good News" - life had lost all meaning. Disillusioned with church teachings, he decided to leave the faith, but had to find the strength to throw off the teachings programmed into him since birth and rebuild his life. In a harrowing account of growing up as a Witness in a filthy, flea-infested house, visiting his mother in a hellish mental institution and handing out Jehovah's Witness pamphlets door to door, Daniel shares the story of his journey from an abusive childhood to his escape from the religious cult that held him and his entire family prisoner. I, Witness: The Shocking Insider's Story of Jehovah's Witnesses reveals the truth about what it's like to grow up in a world where brainwashing, violence and religious, emotional and mental abuse are rampant.
