Tune in to an eye opening interview with the author of this website, Jw Survivors Original . . . Take a closer look at the world of Jehovah's Witnesses from the life experiences of CULT survivor, Sharon Tyson Tovar.
(WARNING: PTSD TRIGGERS)
Former Jehovah's Witnesses explain the dark side of Jehovah's Witnesses with reporter, Shaun Attwood. John Viney, a former Elder of this sect, talks about sex abuse and shunning among JW's. Chris Hull talks about growing up in a JW household and gives us a clear picture of the psychologically damaging effects the JW teachings have on its members.
The leaders of Jehovah's Witnesses, which is stationed in Warwick, NY USA, has refused to join the "REDRESS" in Australia, which will cause them to lose their charity status. As of yet, they still refuse to pay recompense to child sex abuse victims!
Cult Girls . . . By Natalie Grand
"From the moment my copy arrived in the mail, I could barely wait to open the latest book on the Jehovah's Witness faith. The Author Natalie Grand, along with a couple of her friends, share clips of their experiences of life within the Jehovah's Witness cult.
In general, most stories that come out of this sect can leave the reader feeling rather 'fried.' "CULT GIRLS," on the other hand presents a variety of serious topics in such a lighthearted and visually appealing manner that reading has become a mere pleasure.
***I would recommend this book for young cult survivors, women in particular and domestic violence shelter employees.
The cult survivors of the Jehovah's Witnesses are a unique group of individuals. Reading this book would afford DV case managers the opportunity of truly understanding the inner workings of this insular group of people . . . enabling them to find a little bit of gentle humor in the micromanaging circus that these women suffer through."

Where's Jimmy . . . By Kathy Jefford
"This is one book that I simply couldn't put down! There's no fancy fluff as this writer portrays her life under a microscope of her fathers watchful eye.
As if that isn't enough to deal with, Author Kathy Jefford holds no punches as she progressively guides the reader through her traumatic childhood of life within the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses.
***As I flipped every page, all I could think was . . . "they stole her childhood!" This book is a MUST HAVE for any child therapist, cult survivor, or mental health professional."
