Father's
Touch
by Donald D'Haene
Sexual abuse survivor Donald D'Haene knows
he is one of the lucky ones. Legions of paedophilia victims remain
silent, afraid, isolated. They don't have to. Surviving sexual abuse
more than two decades ago, D'Haene and his siblings refused to remain
silent about the horrors of child sexual abuse. They told Elders
of the Jehovah's Witnesses congregation, police, doctors, therapists
and took their abusive perpetrator to court. How did that journey
of sexual recovery unfold? D'Haene has written a memoir of his abusive
experience that will be of great benefit to sexually abused victims,
rape survivors and educators. Father's Touch details his father's
physical and sexual abuse of his siblings, his mother, and himself;
his experience with faith, educators, sexual orientation, therapy,
and a trial.

Crisis
of Conscience
by Raymond Franz
This best seller written by the former Governing Body member
Ray Franz gives authoritative insight on Jehovah's Witnesses. This
book is well written without bitterness.
In
Search of Christian Freedom
by Raymond Franz
In his second book Franz has brought together
a rich array of background knowledge and memories of actual conversations
with top leaders within the Watch Tower Organization to squarely
and thoroughly investigate the validity of the claims made by the
movement.
The
Gentile Times Reconsidered
by Carl O. Johnsson
Broadly researched, meticulously documented,
passionately written. This book shows that the Gentile Times did
not begin in 607 BCE and how the Watchtower Society has tried to
hide the facts.
Apocalypse
Delayed
by James Penton
This is a good overview of Watchtower history.
It reveals just how many predictions they got wrong, and how many
doctrines fell by the wayside. Fortunately, the writer sticks to
the facts and doesn't get into doctrinal debates.
Other Books
The
Orwellian World of Jehovah's Witnesses
by Heather Botting
This book is a fascinating autopsy of the mass
psychology of Jehovah's Witnesses and the deceptions and nonsense
that adherents will endlessly accept. Written prior to the year
1984, the book accurately foretells the
more recent doctrinal changes within the Organization.
Sign of the Last Days When
by Carl O. Johnsson
A historical analysis of famines, wars, pestilences,
crime, and earthquakes to present a strong case that we live in
one of the safest times in history. If Jesus really meant that he
would return during a particularly dangerous time, we could be sure
that he wouldn't come now.

White
Teeth
by Zadie Smith
This book is an amazing achievement for a young writer.
The plot weaves through multicultural and cross-generational landscapes
that make up the urban environment today. Along the way the reader
is given much to consider in terms of relative values.
The novel is populated by characters that truly breathe and they
include a wide range of types including Islamic fundamentalists,
Jehovah's Witnesses, smug Englishmen,Russian soldiers,rebellious
teens,hypocritical adults and a genetically engineered mouse.
Each page is an adventure. The story moves from various settings
in London to flashback sequences involving WWII, jamaica and Bengal.
Yet somehow MS. Smith brings all of these elements together in a
tale that entertains us while making us consider how our roots influence
us in ways that are not always obvious.
In addition the language is witty and at times extremely humorous.This
book deserves to be very widely read. An astounding first novel.
I would find it more incredible if she has anything left after pouring
so much into this one. -Ray Marsella
Awakening
of a Jehovah's Witness
by Diana Wilson
Introduction and Appendix by Jerry Bergman, Ph.D.
This tale of mind control, the use of fear
to manipulate vulnerable people, and final escape from a suffocating
cult environment is a revealing exposé of a secretive contemporary
sect, as well as a true psychological thriller. Diane Wilson spent
twenty-five precious years of her life, first becoming indoctrinated
by the dogma of the Watchtower Society, and then struggling to free
herself from its pervasive, intimidating clutches. In this probing,
brutally honest assessment, Wilson describes how a childhood of
psychological abuse and lack of self-confidence rendered her vulnerable
to the seductive doctrines of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Yet as time
went on and the Society demanded rigid control over every aspect
of her life, even her every thought, Wilson began to rebel. Her
gradual awakening, at first unconsciously through physical and psychological
ailments, and then consciously as a caring therapist helped her
rediscover her true self, is a fascinating story.
What she reveals about the goings-on within the closed Watchtower
Society will shock the average person who assumes the polite, well-dressed
people who pass out leaflets are much like any other conservative
religious group. Wilson contends that membership in the Jehovah's
Witnesses requires obedience bordering on psychological enslavement
and complete suppression of individuality. Her engrossing memoir
will be of great interest to former Witnesses, students of cult
phenomena, and anyone who has ever had contact with Jehovah's Witnesses.

Amazon Earning Report
After years of being a loyal, but not the most successful Amazon-associate,
I was very happy to receive my first Amazon-check ($31.96) for the
period 2000 - June 30, 2002. But I was very disappointed when I
tried to silver my check at my local bank. To exchange an Amazon
check in the Netherlands was more expensive than the value of the
check! So I never exchanged the check. Now I have changed my account
to receive a gift certificate instead of a check.
This are my earnings for the third quarter of 2002:
