Summary

When people who have been Jehovah's Witnesses for years, and have served the Lord in the congregations that they assumed were part of Jehovah's organization, one day, looking inside, awaken with a guilty conscience, because even being people who love God, study and examine the scriptures daily, his conscience does not allow them to be part of what we have realized. God does not need an organization to represent you. The faithful and discreet slave is not a class, but each individual who is faithful to God, and that the Bible is to examine and be tested by itself.

The goal is to try to get to know their methodology and their faith through my personal meetings and direct discussions with some members of that group, and by resorting to what came from religious texts were codified into what they call the Bible.

Going into the life of the author and her personal experiences and the hardship she faces related the reader of being grown up as Jehovah's Witness. The author very comfortably brings the reader unto her level and relates her stories to the reader and also makes the reader understand the position and situation very clearly. The book is a good description of the personal reviews and observation by the author. The book is related to the nursing practice because it related how the Jehovah's witnesses are related to the problems occurred to the doctors and nursing assistances.
