There is no sensationalism, or bitterness, or "gotcha!" whistleblower approach here. Instead, it is the journey of discovery of one man who had risen to the highest level of the Watchtower Bible & Tract Sociey leadership, called the "Governing Body" and was also a member of the elite "anointed class" — one of the approximately 8,000 or so of the 8 million regular members who are destined to assend to heaven and become angelic rulers over all mankind on the earth.The book focusses on his experience of being one of the top rulers, and his subsequent disillusion with what he discovered during a church assigned scholastically research project to formulate evidence and reasons to bolster some of the church's more controversial and foundational doctrines. His discoveries led to his resigning his leadership position, only to be kicked out of the church, shunned, and left penniless with no normal means of supporting himself and his wife, following his lifetime of volunteer, unpaid service to the church.His book is labeled as "apostate lies" and "Satanic" by the church and it's most devout members. Many Jehovah's Witnesses who have read this book cite it as the primary reason they "woke up" to the truth about the church, and therefore resigned their membership, or were kicked out, only to be abandoned and shunned be all of their church friends and family members.Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Updated Classic history and analysis of the Watchtower and Jehovah's Witness religion *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2018* I now have copies of 4 different editions of this worthy book, including a rare original first edition hardbound version.This is one of three most important books that document the long and troubled history of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society and its followers known as Jehovah's Witnesses. As a child and teenager growing up as a Jehovah's Witness, I only had vague suspicions and occasional hints that something was wrong with the "new religion" my parents had been talked into joining. My father was initially set against converting to the religion that my mother had chosen to accept, but soon was convinced that his Baptist upbringing was not in any way "true Christianity." So from the age of 8 to 22 I was an active Jehovah's Witness and figured that I would be one for the rest of my life. But then I met a young JW who had actually worked and served at the religion's headquarters in New York. He too had been totally dedicated to the religion, but then stumbled across the truth: In fact, it was all "smoke and mirrors" and the leadership was basically lying to Jehovah's Witnesses about almost everything. Years later I heard of Raymond Franz and his book. Franz was right in the middle of the mix and both he and his uncle were high ranking officers within the organization. If you have any connection or interest in Jehovah's Witnesses or have relatives or friends who are JWs, by all means get a hardcover or Kindle copy of this important (and now updated) book that simply tells the real truth about "the Truth" and how a religion has managed to mislead and ruin the lives of millions of followers. If you think Scientology and Mormons are controlling and misleading religions, then be prepared to learn of another religion that exists only to control its followers and to milk them for every dollar possible.l ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A 'Must Read' for Anyone Considering Getting Involved with Jehovah's Witnesses *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2015* EVERY Jehovah's Witness should read this book, preferably before being baptized when it will be too late to leave without painful consequences. It is a scholarly work, a bit dry reading, but JWs should be used to that. When I first read it many years ago, I was freshly out, and was still damaged from the post cult mentality. I was worried that reading it constituted the "unforgivable sin" of apostasy. And what is worse, I was actually concerned about "demon influence." It is hilariously funny now, but serious to me at the time, that is how well I was brainwashed. But reading now I got a lot more out of it. Having a family member at Bethel when a lot of this was going down (and who is still there btw) I had heard bits and pieces, but of course filtered in a much different way. But Franz lays it all out with footnoted references, actual photocopies where possible to back up his claims, as well as of course just compelling restatement of his experience. If you were in the JWs in the 70s and 80s, and look back now you can see the real truth behind the 'Truth' with the help of this work. We all knew something was going on up in the top ranks but were forbidden from speculation. Franz never comes across as a hateful or vindictive person. Instead you can detect a scholarly man of conscience. He presents all he has to say with facts, and in the few areas where he does speculate, he makes it very clear. If you have anyone you care about who is thinking about becoming a Jehovah's Witness, challenge them to read this book. Get down on your knees and beg them if you have to. The internet age is exposing more and more of what is going on behind closed doors by the Governing Body. I don't know what the end result will be, but I feel this book was the beginning. JWs rank and file aren't bad people, they're merely victims. As I was, as my family is. Eventually what is done in darkness will come to light by means of books like these, court cases, and websites, blogs, etc. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/86729545-crisis-of-conscience-the-story-of-the-struggle-between-loyalty](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/86729545-crisis-of-conscience-the-story-of-the-struggle-between-loyalty) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
