The Chretien's were "high-ranking members of the Watchtower Society for 22 years," before their conversion to evangelical Christianity.They write in the Preface to this 1988 book, "This book... was written to expose the Watch Tower as a false religion, and not as a persecution or vendetta. We feel that the public should have full disclosure as to what Jehovah's Witnesses are taught and are in turn teaching the public... At the same time, it is our hope that Jehovah's Witnesses themselves might read this book and become free of Watch Tower bondage. That hope will be made difficult by the fact that this book has been banned, even before it is published, by the edict of Watch Tower policy."Here are some quotations from the book:"It can be demonstrated that the door-to-door ministry is highly inefficient if the goal is to attract converts. For example, statistics from 1986 indicate that it took 3014 hours of service to make one new member! That equates to one Witness working 40 hours a week for 75 weeks to make one convert. The leadership is well aware of this, yet will not consider more efficient methods. Why? Because door-to-door is the best way to sell their literature... The Society continues to hide the huge profit margin they enjoy through the use of volunteer labor in their factories and on the doorsteps of the world." (Pg. 17)"A new addition was incorporated into (Charles Taze) Russell's theological stew in 1881 when he extolled the Great Pyramid of Gizeh as 'a miracle in stone,' 'not planned by men but a work of God.' He declared that the pyramid corroborated the Scriptures and that the measurements of the grand gallery confirmed his prophetic dates!" (Pg.
