Numerous books have been written by ex-Jehovahs Witnesses, exposing the false claims and practices of the cult or describing their personal challenges while leaving it. But when it comes to providing help to individuals in the process of exiting and recovering from the effects of membership in the cult, few compare with EXiting the JW Cult: A Healing Handbook.Author Bonnie Zieman was born and raised as a Jehovahs Witness, leaving after thirty years to gain the higher education that she was denied and build a professional life as a psychotherapist. She knows firsthand what its like to deal with the inhumane punishments inflicted on anyone who leaves the Watchtower organization-foremost among them, the complete shunning by family and friends.Drawing from both her personal and professional experiences, Zieman provides aid, advice, encouragement, and insight into the many challenges faced by current and former Jehovahs Witnesses who are struggling to extricate their lives from this all-controlling cult.This empowering healing handbook is designed to be used as a reference that individuals can take down off the shelf and use to help themselves during difficult moments along their path to healing emotional wounds and coping in an unfamiliar world.
