This tale of mind control, the use of fear to manipulate vulnerable people, and final escape from a suffocating cult environment is a revealing expose of a secretive contemporary sect, as well as a true psychological thriller. Diane Wilson spent twenty-five precious years of her life, first becoming indoctrinated by the dogma of the Watchtower Society, and then struggling to free herself from its pervasive, intimidating clutches. In this probing, brutally honest assessment, Wilson describes how a childhood of psychological abuse and lack of self-confidence rendered her vulnerable to the seductive doctrines of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Yet as time went on and the society demanded rigid control over every aspect of her life, even her every thought, Wilson began to rebel. Her gradual awakening, at first unconsciously through physical and psychological ailments, and then consciously as a caring therapist helped her rediscover her true self, is a fascinating story. |

I was bought up as a JW just like you and one day when you grow up and decide to make your own choices you will look back on your childhood lost and realise it is a cult. Good luck young 14 year old.

I'm a 14 year girl and i'm a Jehovah's witness. I'd like to say that this book is comepletely incorrect. The only reason this person has told these lies about our religion, is because he was most likely disfellowshiped from the congregation, because he commited a sin and was unrepentant. Please do not believe what this book says about Jehovah's Witnesses. No one in our religion is forced to do anything and they can leave the religion on when ever they want to. We are also not a cult and we do not perform strange acts of worship or torture people, because that goes against our bible principles and it is extremly wrong.
