We are pleased to offer our readers the English version of the book "Captives of a Concept" ( Captives of a Concept ) written by Don Cameron, a former member of a Body of Elders of Jehovah's Witnesses.
The cover of the book we find the risky sentence
"There's only one thing that needs to be known about
Watchtower Society and have no way of knowing. "
Which could not be more accurate. The book uses an overwhelming logic, since place to discuss and examine various doctrines of this organization, goes straight to the 'keystone' of the same using their own literature of this religion.
Having identified the "stone" that can be removed by (1) understand the Watchtower Society's interpretation of Matthew 24:45-47 and (2) keep in mind that interpretation while examining the history of this organization in regard to their own interpretation of this passage from the Bible.
is hoped that this book will help first, to better understand the illusionary concept that holds them captive Jehovah's Witnesses, secondly, how this concept remains just as captive to leaders this organization, making them unable to face the reality of their own religion and thirdly, to understand better why it is so difficult for witnesses not only face the reality of their organization, but also the that this reality compels them make decisions that change their lives. The reach that understanding and those subsequent decisions it may take some time and often require divine intervention, however:
"Those who are ready to meet reality,
this will force them to make decisions that change their lives. "
If you have family or friends who are Jehovah's Witnesses and want to help "meet the reality" (or even if you want to be prepared when they come to visit), this book is for you.
