Barry Grant Marsh, who was a third-generation Jehovah’s Witness, seeks to help others struggling to leave behind the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society dogma in this memoir that looks at Jesus Christ in a new light.
He reveals the powerful training methods employed by Jehovah’s Witnesses to manipulate and control their followers—as well as steps you can take as a Christian that will protect you from falling victim to this cult. Moreover, he provides tips on reaching out to loved ones who are members and advice on responding to Witnesses who knock on your door.
Marsh also shares details from his own journey of finding Jesus, which took more than thirty years and was dominated by his dedication to an organization that brought him difficulty, disillusion, and disappointment. In the end, he realized that the Holy Spirit was there to lead him through it all.
Join Marsh on a compelling and heartfelt journey toward biblical truth, and start your own walk toward Christ with this incredible story.
I grew up with a single mother and my grandmother when being a single parent was frowned upon. My grandmother was fully immersed into J W and frequently took me to district meetings after my mother got married and I was of school age. I pulled away as a young adult because I didn't accept many of their teachings that I felt did not reflect a loving God.
For anyone firmly entrenched but uncertain of their teaching and policies, I strongly recommend this book. As a follower of Christ I appreciate the author's newfound faith and I can imagine the struggle they went through to separate themselves from the witnesses after so many decades. Blessings to him and his family.
The history is so important in combating cult mind control. I have been researching the “stay alive past 75” and everything was so accurate on this book. Thank you for writing this Barry & sharing your deep rooted multi generation experiences and research of the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
