I expected this to be Marxist, but it felt like a nostalgic rant instead. The author’s sentimentalization of housework performed for no wages as “love” and better than wages for housework made me roll my eyes out of my head.

I didn’t read every chapter, only the ones that were discussions of PDA behaviors that I hadn’t recognized before. 

The format of the book is unusual but I completely understand why they author did it this way!

This book is well-researched and quotes from the old publications that have been made inaccessible by WTBTS—those with the kookiest and most apostate of former beliefs.

The author approaches the book from the viewpoint that Watchtower is actually disseminating teachings of false angels and that JWs need to be the recipients of fervent prayer to come around to true Christianity.
