Here's a courageous story of survival and escape from the Jehovah's Witnesses. (Note: contains Basil Wolverton like imagery from the Watchtower.)
This testimony graphically shows the cruel heartless legalism and mind control which Jehovah's Witnesses have found themselves gripped in and exposes how cruel this destructive, authoritarian brainwashing cult can be. It is like a dictatorial empire within our free society.
It is a story with which far too many of us who have been involved with WCG and its offshoots would be all too familiar with.
And it seems that the JWs have their own Basil Wolverton. Check out the picture at the top of the linked page.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. I have updated the blog to warn of such things for any future readers.
ReplyDeleteThat image comes from a Watchtower issue. 1995 I think it was made in. Definitely in the 90s.
You can see a lot more of their fear inducing apocalyptic imagery at this Youtube video, Jehovah's Witnesses - Beneath the Tower of Fear.
You do come up with some remarkable material, this was a moving story, or shall I say 'witness'. By the way, I don't know what changed, but until quite recently, I couldn't leave comments.
