Review

Children that grow up in abusive spiritual systems and relationships can develop such acute mental trauma that they later have breakdowns. Many contemplate suicide or worse. Especially daunting is trying to understand and recover from deeply ingrained fears of failure to please a controlling religious system such as Jehovah's Witnesses and the supernatural being that such a system represents. Raising her, Pony Jean Parker's parents used harsh parenting methods as they endeavored to follow the instructions of the devout to worship correctly in a self-proclaimed Bible-based religion. Consequently, she never felt approval. By believing hook, line and sinker, it was no wonder depression was her companion. Eventually understanding the abusive and authoritarian systems she was raised in, Pony Jean overcame emotional damage through strengthening her coping mechanisms, first by learning how to forgive, how to manage painful emotional situations, and how to heal, none of which was easy to do but she did it through a determination she didn't know she possessed and associates that inspired love and happiness. Through her important story, Pony Jean promotes healthy principles and tools for personal growth without fear of a supernatural connection. -Barbara Anderson, Ex-JW Activist
