About this book
The Bottings, both Witnesses, can and do answer the questions everyone asks about this sect. They examine its history, the ways in which history itself has been interpreted in the light of bible prophecy, the basic beliefs or ‘symbols’ in which Witnesses are required to put their faith, and the dynamics of conversion and indoctrination.
