Escaping the Potter's House
An Anthology of Memoirs by Former Members
Joel E. Crosby
- In
- Escaping
- the
- Potter’s
- House,
- ten
- brave
- individuals
- tell
- their
- own
- personal
- stories
- of
- attending
- the
- Potter’s
- House.
- They
- share
- how
- they
- came
- to
- join
- the
- cult,
- whether
- by
- birth
- or
- later
- in
- life;
- their
- extensive
- involvement;
- their
- realization
- of
- the
- problems
- with
- the
- church;
- and
- finally,
- their
- journey
- as
- they
- left.
While
- each
- person’s
- journey
- is
- unique,
- very
- similar
- threads
- run
- through
- their
- stories:
- control,
- manipulation,
- legalism
- with
- many
- rules,
- absolute
- obedience
- to
- leaders,
- the
- twisting
- of
- Scripture,
- and
- more.
- Readers
- will
- empathize
- with
- each
- person
- who
- courageously
- escaped
- the
- Potter’s
- House,
- sometimes
- leaving
- family
- and
- dear
- friends.
If
- you
- have
- ever
- been
- involved
- with
- The
- Potter’s
- House
- or
- any
- cult
- or
- even
- wondered
- about
- what
- it
- is
- like
- to
- be
- in
- a
- cult,
- this
- is
- just
- the
- book
- for
- you.
- Grab
- a
- cup
- of
- coffee
- and
- settle
- in
- as
- you
- immerse
- yourself
- in
- these
- true stories.
