Acerca de esta escucha
This book is part memoir, history, exploration, and critique of the Jehovah's Witness religion. I was born and raised as a Jehovah's Witness. Eventually, I found myself shunned due to actions considered unacceptable by the leaders of the religion at the time.
I lost everything except the shirt on my back and the shoes on my feet. I faced a series of personal setbacks as a result of being cut off from childhood friends and family.
After rebuilding my life about ten years later, I investigated the organization that caused me so much pain. I found that it wasn't just me but many others. I finally decided to examine the history of the religion, which would be a shunning offense if I hadn't already been shunned.
This book reflects my current understanding and beliefs about the religion and my critiques about its flaws, hypocrisies, and threats to peoples well-being. It also addresses the organization's history from 1844 to the modern day. Finally, the last chapter contains one hundred questions for Jehovah's Witnesses- questions that go unanswered.

Historia
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.

Historia
Mason Lot is in-house counsel for Poseidon, a major Wall Street firm that serves as a front company for the National Security State. His job pays well and gives him insight into the corrupt shadow government, but it can't help with his problems at home. Mason assumed that the hefty price tag for his daughter’s private school would buy him a pass from the insanity plaguing New York’s public school system. Nevertheless, indoctrinated by propaganda, Wynter wants to transition into being a boy. When Mason refuses to pay for the procedure, Wynter turns to the state for help.

As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan.

Historia
My name is Owen Morgan. I was born into the Jehovah's Witnesses religion. After investigation, I have some questions that have been left unanswered. I'm asking Jehovah's Witnesses to consider these fundamental questions. If this is the Truth, Jehovah's organization will stand up to close examination. We are all looking for accurate information. My intent in writing this booklet is not to offend or attack. I don't want to hurt anybody. I simply want answers.

Historia
Seth Andrews wasn't an idiot during his 30 years as an evangelical Christian. He wasn't unintelligent, nor did his IQ shift when he ultimately left religion entirely. He considered himself thoughtful, moral, reasonable, and at least as smart as the average person. In other words, he wasn't an idiot. Yet strangely, he often sounded like one.

Historia
In the late 1800s, a religious organization known as the Watchtower was birthed. This group places much emphasis on Christ’s return and Armageddon, aggressively seeking to spread their doctrine to all who will listen. These efforts were successful, for their influence can be seen in countries and languages throughout the world. Many of the Watchtower's deceptions were easy to spot in the early days, but with almost 150 years of practice, they have found ways to fine-tune their inconsistencies. Millions have been misled by the Watchtower and have become personal carriers of their ...

It is 1982 and in the Kingdom Hall we are Jehovah's Witnesses. The state of the world shows us the end is close, and Satan is like a roaring lion, seeking to devour us. Ali Millar is waiting for Armageddon. Born into the Jehovah's Witnesses in a town in the Scottish Borders, her childhood revolves around regular meetings in the Kingdom Hall, where she is haunted by vivid images of the Second Coming, her mind populated by the bodies that will litter the earth upon Jehovah's return. In this frightening, cloistered world, Ali grows older.

Historia
What used to be an exotic religion of people halfway around the world is now the belief system of people living across the street. Through fair, contextual use of the Qur'an as the primary source text, apologist James R. White presents Islamic beliefs about Christ, salvation, the Trinity, the afterlife, and other important topics. White shows how the sacred text of Islam differs from the teachings of the Bible in order to help Christians engage in open, honest discussions with Muslims.

Remembering Satan is a lucid, measured, yet absolutely riveting inquest into a case that destroyed a family, engulfed a small town, and captivated an America obsessed by rumors of a satanic underground. It follows the increasingly bizarre accusations and confessions, as well as the claims and counterclaims of police, FBI investigators, and mental-health professionals.

Owen, I know you're an atheist...but I definitely heard Jesus speaking thru you a message I really needed to hear. Thank you!
Your book helped make sense of the actions and personality of an ex JW I knew years ago. Unfortunately he went right while you went left. He used the skills he learned as a JW to brow beat, manipulate and intimidate others (myself included) to his political and far right views. I had no idea what he was doing to me...your book has she'd light on it.
I'm so glad you did the reading! Your passion for this comes thru so well and made this one of the most engaging books I've listened to. Sometimes I forgot I wasn't listening to one of your videos lol!
This is a book I will be listening to again (I also have the print version), there is so much to think more deeply about.

My only issue was the author would have been better off having someone else narrate the audiobook. His honest, yet distracting, emotional (angry) tone was not necessary to get the points across.
