    Hi all

    Can anyone recommend good books worth reading like Steven Hassans Combating the Cult MInd?

    Just read it, it gripped me totally n could not put it down. A great read.

    Anything is appreciated.

    This is one of the first books I read that opened my eyes to the fact that JWs are just another fundamentalist religion:

    That book really opens ones eyes to different aspects of mind control.

    There is a movie called rebirth which does kinda seem culty to me,similarities in the workings of cult recruitment.

    The earlier editions were more concise than the later reprints. I'm not exaggerating if I say this book changed my life. I'd recommend it even over Crisis of Conscience.

    I liked Twisted Scriptures . I used many parts of that book to help educate my preteen daughter about how easy it is to be drawn in to a high control organization/religion especially when it is so very easy to twist scriptures to make them say just about anything.

    Well there’s a new book called “ Leaving the Witnesses” by Amber Scorah that’s been listed as one of the top 50 books to read this summer by Book Riot, which is the largest North American book editorial site. I haven’t read it as it’s new out, mind you.
