IN SEARCH OF CHRISTIAN FREEDOM is a huge book with deep concepts. Great book.



CAPTIVES OF A CONCEPT gets right to the point about the mistake that every single JW has made, and how to see that mistake. Easier book to free the mind and perhaps

start helping other family members or friends that would listen. I downloaded from LULU.com, but anyway you get this book, it will be great reading. Garybuss' recommendation was good enough for me. I am thrilled with this book. (JWD Forum)

I give it a huge thumbs-up. I purchased the e-book format. I consider it the most concise-yet-complete work yet on why the WTS isn't what it claims to be. (JWD Forum)

I have many books on the JWs and "Captives of a Concept," is for me, the best of them. (Blueblades on JWD Forum)

Thumbs up from me. It's easy to read and puts thing very simply using diagrams and keypoints. There's even room for notes in the margins. My kids like it too, as it's not as deep as the other books we have like COC, "Gentile Times Reconsidered," etc. (JWD Forum)

Six Million Jehovah's Witnesses Held Captive

A former JW elder (Don Cameron) explains how the Watchtower interpretation of the "faithful and discreet slave" as the Governing Body holds millions of Jehovah’s Witnesses captive and obedient. Not only is this book a great resource for understanding why and how JWs behave and think, but it may help those who are still involved but instinctively realize that something is wrong. It's not so much what Jehovah's Witnesses believe about biblical teachings, but what they believe about their own leadership that keeps them loyal subjects despite all evidence. Focusing on this teaching at the heart of all JW obedience and comparing the disjunction between this doctrine and the organization's own words, actions and history is an original and very constructive approach.

I could not pinpoint it (i.e. what was wrong with the Watchtower religion) to any one exact thing, I could not put my finger on exactly what "it" was. I thought the "it" (or the problem) was "me."

Don Cameron's book for me, was life changing. Finally, I understood, I understood what was wrong with the religion of Jehovah's Witnesses - exactly what was wrong, that I had been unable to pinpoint or articulate.

Once I understood this, an enormous burden was lifted from my shoulders. More importantly, I am now finally able to clearly articulate to others what is the number one "problem" with the religion known as Jehovah's Witnesses. - Rose-marie Robinson

"There is only one thing that needs to be known about the Watchtower Society and there is only one way to know it." Don Cameron, former member of a Body of Elders of Jehovah's Witnesses.

I would agree with Don, His book, "Captives of a Concept" understanding the illusionary concept that holds Jehovah's Witnesses captive easily refutes their claim of being the only true religion. Remove the 1919 appointment and all the rest of it's foundation falls.

I found this book to be the simplest way to get to the core about the appointment of the Faithful and Discreet Slave in 1919. - Blueblades

I like your standpoint:

* "When dealing with those who are ready to face the truth, one word may make all the difference. But if they are not ready to face the truth, then ten thousand words won't make any difference".

* "Of all things that can be known about the Watchtower religion, there is only one thing that needs to be known: Is the Watchtower Society God's organization?"

* "Jehovah's Witnesses usually need to come to realize that what they believe about the Watchtower Society may not be true before they can allow themselves to consider that what they believe about the Bible may not be true".

You are really writing from the standpoint of someone who knows what life is like in Watchtower Society. Thank you very much for it. I believe the Lord's Spirit will use it to open the eyes of many "Captives of a Concept". (Hector from Chile)

“Don I read your book. It is probably one of the BEST books on the JW's that I have read. Brilliant work Don. Believe me I have read quite a few books and all have had their own
merits yours added some things not covered by other books. "Captive of a Concept" says it all.”
