What if the very structure meant to guide you ends up holding you captive? In Captives of a Concept, former Jehovah’s Witness elder Don Cameron peels back the layers of spiritual allegiance to reveal how millions may be ensnared by a thought‐framework so deeply embedded that its influence escapes notice. Drawing on his insider perspective and meticulous study, Cameron identifies the pivotal misstep that opens the door to this mental captivity—and offers a path toward awakening.
Scholarly yet accessible, this book exposes the mechanism by which unquestioned faith in an institution becomes a prison for belief. Cameron examines the Watchtower’s history, doctrine, and self-asserted authority to illustrate how the “concept” of divine organizational control functions as a filter—one that colors what followers see, how they think, and even what they dare to question. For those seeking clarity, the author doesn’t just critique; he walks readers step by step through how to recognize and correct the error that makes such captivity possible.
For anyone engaged in the psychology of belief, spiritual autonomy, or the journey of exiting a high-control religion, Captives of a Concept offers both an incisive diagnosis and a hopeful route toward intellectual and spiritual liberation.
