In 2012, Mormon General Authority Marlin K. Jensen acknowledged that members are leaving the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints "in droves". Access to the internet is often credited and blamed for this mass exodus, where members learn about problematic doctrines and cover-ups of LDS history. Many are happy as Mormons. And many are not. Those who leave, and those doubters who stay face struggles that few others can understand.

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.

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.

Swindoll disarms the counter-attack of those who do not preach grace-filled living and claim that focusing on grace would fill our churches with wild, undisciplined people with no godliness in evidence. Yes, Swindoll says, teaching and preaching grace is risky. Some may push the limits and misuse their freedom. But grace is the message of the gospel…the good news of salvation. As Christians, we sing about God's amazing grace. We understand that we are saved by grace. Let's learn to live by grace! Discover how in The Grace Awakening.

Carl Medearis provides new insights into the top questions people have about Muslims and Islam.

Medearis shows how common ground is the best foundation for hearts turning to Jesus rather than focusing initially on the differences between Islam and Christianity.
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.

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.

Very Revelatory about JWs.........BUT BEWARE!!
The narrator performs very well. I would certainly listen to him again. I knew basically nothing about JW before listening to this other then they come to my door occasionally and tell me how wicked I am. I’ve always considered them a harmless frivolous organization. This audiobook is very insightful and educational and I see JW much differently now.
However I was extremely annoyed, even irate that the author’s current atheistic worldview came seeping into the narrative. Why is it necessary, in a book that is exclusively about the Jehovah Witness religion, to quote Dawkins or other modern atheistic thinkers? I absolutely don’t care how the author chooses to interpret the Bible or if he believes in God or not. In a book about Jehovah Witnesses I want to hear about Jehovah Witnesses, not his “enlightened” scorn of the Bible and religion!

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.

So many parts of the authors experience mirriored my own as I finally made my way out of that group. It's a great relief to know that I wasn't alone in it, and yet infuriating to know that others have suffered as I had.

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.
