Ex-JW books appeal to a narrow market, really. The tone of most of them is about as exciting as political debate. Which is to say very narrow in appeal.
Terry,
Many of us heart-centered born-ins are on a healing and ' figuring things out' journey for years after we stop attending meetings, especially when we have strong family tie-ins. Doctrinal issues and other faith-based issues discussed and debated in books are part of the journey out... some of us get beyond that and into feeling okay with not attaching to another particular belief system and into the "I don't know" realm.
Your approach makes it easy for me to keep my mind open, even though I want to be 'fooled by the magician.' I find much of your writing intelligent, thought-provoking, and non-threatening.
There's many layers to the JW experience. All of our stories are important, to ourselves and others, which is why we all share bits and pieces here, for others to hear us, learn from, and have their own experience with. We are in good company when we share our stories with one another, for our own catharsis and, at times, to help others in ways unimaginable.
Whichever experiences you decide to share, if a book isn't feasible (even self-published), please consider setting up a Web site with an intuitive cataloging of your writings. They are so helpful, even if others aren't in full agreement with your perspective. Differing approaches is what keeps the iron sharpened.
