My daughter is 80 pages into COC.
It will probably take a few visits to get through it. I let her know that it speaks of things before her time, but that i was 'in' back then and remember some of the things written about.
Any heads up on what to expect from her?

Is she still in?
she is still 'in', meaning that she is being raised JW but not yet dunked.
She already thinks they lie and that some things 'don't add up'. Desperatly wants to be a normal kid.

Hi Oz. You didn't say how old your daughter is, but providing she understands what is written I am sure it will have a profound affect on her.
The good thing about the book, is not only is it written without any bitterness, but also most things that are written can be verified.
Well done for getting her to read it. If only more witnesses would read it, there would be a mass exodus from the kingdom halls all round the world.
This book will only help to validate her already awakening mind. Excellent work in getting her to read it Oz!
TBH - let the book do the work. Be there to answer questions.
Good news, Aussie Oz. :))

That's great news.
Desperatly wants to be a normal kid.
If she can be normal when at your home, and do things she can't otherwise do, that will help her as much as anything. Then she will learn that worldly people can be just as loving as JW's, and she can be happy if she leaves.
AUSSIE OZ- Excellent ! Excellent ! I'm so glad your daughter is reading this book. Is she a teenager ? I agree with the others to be there to answer questions for her and let the book do the work. One cautionary point however- if your daughter is under 18 and still a minor and lives part time with your fanatic JW ex-wife - you might want to caution your daughter to avoid talking to her mom about what she's reading. As you well know already- your JW ex-wife will take any opportunity to throw Ray's book under the bus and call it " demonized " or whatever. AND the ex-wife may pressure your daughter NOT to read the book. It's just better if your JW ex-wife doesn't know your daughter's reading it - or she might make things rough on you & your daughter trying to drive a wedge in your relationship. Just a heads up for you mate. Good luck ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper
