Book Description (Obtained from Amazon.com)
At first, the Watchtower Society seemed harmless to William J. Schnell, even valuable as a way to develop his faith in God and pass it on to others. This book is Schnellıs fascinating account of his involvement with the cult, which effectively enticed him in the 1920s and continues to lure countless individuals today. Readers will learn, as Schnell did, that the Jehovahıs Witness religion he had joined was anything but innocent. For thirty years he was enslaved by one of the most totalitarian religions of our day, and his story of finally becoming free is riveting. Readers will be alerted to the inner machinations, methods, and doctrines of the Watchtower Society, arming them to forewarn others and witness to their Jehovahıs Witness friends, relatives, neighbors, and the stranger at the door. With more than 300,000 copies sold, 30 Years a Watchtower Slave is truly one of the classic testimonies of freedom from a powerful cult.

Thirty Years a Watchtower Slave: The Confessions of a Converted Jehovah's Witness

Our Comments:

We present this book because of its historical value. Mr. Schnell does reveal many of his experiences while "pioneering" and when he served at the Watchtower headquarters. Nevertheless, we understand that Mr. Schnell went back to belief in the trinity doctrine and other doctrines held by the traditions of men. We do not necessarily agree with all that Mr. Schnell states. As far as we can tell, he never really came to a true appreciation of the "ransom for all" as it was taught in the days of Charles Taze Russell and as it is still taught by Bible Students today.
