Waking Up. A Jehovah's Witness Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986848060)

Mimie is a seventeen-year-old Jehovah's Witness who falls foul of the elders in her congregation, bringing about her disfellowshipping, which is to result in great changes in her life and those close to her. Her crime is that of fornication, a disgusting and heinous sin in the eyes of Jehovah's Witnesses. Her life is in ruins but she decides to fight back and not give in to the label ascribed to her of being an 'apostate' by all those who choose to shun her. But her rescue from the cruelty of brothers and sisters who shun her comes from a very unlikely source that will change her life profoundly in a way she could never have envisioned. Here is a novel of stark reality that many Jehovah's Witnesses and ex-Jehovah's Witnesses will readily identify with, laying bare the machinations of the Watch Tower religion in all its great injustices and man-made rules that would put first century Pharisees to shame, namely the rules and regulations - and gross hypocrisy - meted out by congregation elders. Prepare yourself for a journey of anguish and sorrow that will perhaps shock you to the core.
