Growing Up a Witness Author:Joseph Lee This book actually started out as a letter to my mom to express my trapped feelings growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness child and how the religion she selected affected our relationship for over 30 years. This book represents my life struggles I endured growing in a violent home and as a Jehovah’s Witness child. Jehovah’s Witness children are rais... more »ed different in every aspect of their lives. As a Witness child, I learned to live though a lot of pain. I was taught to accept many things that you wouldn’t normally accept as a child. The acts of violence in my household affected my perception of how I look at relationships today. I’ve discovered in order to deal with the past, you must examine the past and make sure you don’t repeat it. My hope is that this book can help persons that may be experiencing some of the pain and emotional abuse I’ve endured as a child, a young man and finally an adult and break this cycle of abuse. Life has been a struggle for me; however, my love for God and the love of friends and family have gotten me to where I’m today.« less
