Many years ago, I read Feazell's book "The Liberation of the Worldwide Church of God" - an eye-opener and valuable book to me as I was going through my own JW 'awakening' and it was helpful to read of the similarities in that journey.

Thanks for sharing your storey. It is a blessing to have this forum to share similar experiences and how we coped in the aftermath of our awakening.
I'm sure you will be a blessing to some JWs that visit this forum, and it is my hope that they don't throw Christ out with the bath water.
Shalom brother.

Hey cog_survivor.
On the surface chalk and cheese, but underneath the hood the Watchtower is no different from HA's WCG, or the Mormons, or any other cult.
Our family had great benefit from a Colorado style workshop as presented at the 2010 "Coercive Persuasion and Mind Control" cult conference at Parliament house in Brisbane: http://www.cifs.org.au/2010conference.php
A great book and resource we received through the conference is "Take back your life" by Janja Lalich and Madeline Tobias.
A must read chapter in Steven Hassan's "Releasing the bonds - empowering people to think for themselves" is ch8 "Interacting with dual identities".
Greetings, blessings and peace to you and yours
Fernando
