This book is a compelling, compassionate, and objective analysis of insidious cult-psychology, taken from real life. It describes odd ideas and harmful attitudes, and gives hope for recovery.

About the Author
Richard Shining Thunder Francis -- a teacher, psychospiritual advisor, life-design consultant, and practicing mystic, was reared in the extremist cult Jehovah's Witnesses. Prohibited from exploring other religions, he resigned. The founder of agapology, the science of love-psychology, he is a central spokes-person for the Universal Love Movement-- not a religion, but a Way-- which challenges society to live by the principles of compassion, acceptance, and tolerance. Founder of the Institute of Agapology and Metaphysics in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he hosts the weekly radio-program "Heartmind," he is the author of several books, including Love Is God, Tao Now, Superlove, and Jehovah, Good-bye. He has given seminars and talk-show-interviews all over the U.S. and in Europe. Former managing editor of Lovespirit and Cosmic Visions magazines, he has advised Time, Newsweek, and "Sixty Minutes," and has published in the mainstream and metaphysical presses.

3.0 out of 5 stars
His scorn is too obvious,
By Hortensia "Sunshine" (California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jehovah Lives in Brooklyn (Paperback)
As an ex-JW I have read a lot of books about the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. This isn't the best one. Not only do the author's scorn and bitterness weaken his writing (for instance an excessive use of quotation marks sprinkled freely on each page and a lack of editing), but it seemd to me he just doesn't have enough distance yet to have really healed. Make no mistake, JW's are definitely into mind control, and they are really cruel in many ways. But if you are an ex-JW looking for support and understanding, or a non-JW curious about this organization, a better book might be "Visions of Glory." Also, there is a wise website, virushead.net, with a more mature, compassionate response to the Watchtower organization.
