Product Description

At first, the Watchtower Society seemed harmless to William J. Schnell, even valuable as a way to develop his faith in God and pass it on to others. This book is Schnell's fascinating account of his involvement with the cult, which effectively enticed him in the 1920s and continues to lure countless individuals today. Readers will learn, as Schnell did, that the Jehovah's Witness religion he had joined was anything but innocent. For thirty years he was enslaved by one of the most totalitarian religions of our day, and his story of finally becoming free is riveting. Readers will be alerted to the inner machinations, methods, and doctrines of the Watchtower Society, arming them to forewarn others and witness to their Jehovah's Witness friends, relatives, neighbors, and the stranger at the door. With more than 300,000 copies sold, 30 Years a Watchtower Slave is truly one of the classic testimonies of freedom from a powerful cult.

Customer Reviews

Slavery!!
This book is an in depth account of a man whose Christian life was led badly astray by the Watch Tower Society. A young German who saw the Society use his country as a guinea pig for the USA.

He knew Judge Rutherford and willingly co-operated in the brainwashing of his fellow country men.

A moving and harrowing story.

Disappointing
Rather stodgy, not very informative and comes across as somewhat bitter. I'm sure the author has much to be bitter about, but this is not as useful to terrified worshippers of Jehovah as Crisis of Conscience.
