Escape From Paradise: Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses and the Watch Tower after thirty-five years of lost dreams

De: Brock Talon

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

An innocent child named Brock Talon longs for the Jehovah's Witness paradise, but in time finds it isn't all it's cracked up to be. With Armageddon ever looming, his life becomes an endless stream of restrictions and mandated works, harsh discipline and conditional relationships. Join Brock's struggle with apostasy and persecution, sanctioned abuse and God-like elders. Learn with him about his faith's built-in sexual dysfunction and an eerily business-like design, as well as its dubious origin, repeated failed prophecy, fixation on demons, and the curious "anointed ones." Will Brock ignore his eye-opening discoveries, or will he act and lose everything? This story, both humorous and tragic, is about one man's personal pilgrimage through the dystopian world of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society. Along with millions like him, will Brock be able to safely make his escape from paradise?

Control and Chaos

How brave are those who escape religious organizations that run like cults.
The complete and total control over one's life left me dumbfounded.
Gaslighting on every level from almost everyone.

Informational but dropped the ball.

I thought a lot of the information was accurate and learned a lot about the society pre 1975 that I didn’t realize. But as a former JW I also think the author and his family never truly represented what a Jehovah’s Witness is. I agree it is a cult. I grew up in it and I believe with a lot of things he mentioned. But I also know a lot of families who I love and they are loving and kind and not anything like the hypocritical people he described in his book. The abuse, the verbal abuse, the double life. To me his family was only appearing to be JW’s. Also the nicknames that he gave everyone in the book told me a lot about the author. He just made me think of a male chauvinist. I do think there was a lot of good information in the beginning but I only read it to the end just to see it through.

The real truth

Loved all of it! Top to bottom great! Honest, entertaining and unfortunately so true. Standing ovation!

do we really read the same bible!!

I really enjoyed this book and found it very enlightening. Highly recommend it to all born again Christians! Prayer is better when you know specifically what to pray for but if not the spirit will lead!
