Free today - the book I wish I'd found when I was getting out of JWs.
by AngusOg init's called quitting jehovah's witnesses & other cults: how to do it & why you should, and i hope you'll check it out.
i wrote it because other books seemed to focus on personal experiences (boring, irrelevant) or doctrinal discussion of why i should convert to some other religion (boring, irrelevant and insulting).
anyway, it's an ebook, it's free, and it's out today..

Thank you Nathan, thank you mouthy. I must say, the response has been wonderful—a lot of free books went out, I got a nice review on amazon, I sold a few books, and people have said nice things here and on the exJW subreddit (motto: "The Truth Hurts").
Nathan, especially thank you for your close reading, and the feedback on the taboo chapter; was a little ambivalent about putting that one out there. And you're right, of course, about the various book categories. In my defense, the whole book is an exercise in simplification—I wanted the bare minimum of words that I thought would do some real good.

… and, just read through the bizarre new overlapping generation BS. Had no idea; one lovely thing about being out is that you don't have to keep up with all their bizarre changes. OTOH, my daughter is still in, and it's depressing that she's apparently going along with all this.
I am wondering if I should update the book. But it feels like the wrong approach; I write at one point "I could explain to non-Witness readers what the “Faithful and Discreet Slave” is, and how they relate to doctrines and such, but frankly it’s not worth it. Don’t be distracted by it when it comes up. Just zero in on the the idea that God is working with some humans, and ask how that works."
I think that still holds; now, it's a much smaller group that has to take responsibility (and apparently they officially vote on doctrine, now?) and they clearly have no good way of communicating with God.
But wow, they're obviously getting desperate.
