Histoire
A third-generation Jehovah's Witness, Amber Scorah had devoted her life to sounding God's warning of impending Armageddon. She volunteered to take the message to China, where the preaching she did was illegal and could result in her expulsion or worse. Here, she had some distance from her community for the first time. Immersion in a foreign language and culture - and a whole new way of thinking - turned her world upside down, and eventually led her to lose all that she had been sure was true.

Histoire
Banished is an eye-opening, deeply personal account of life inside the cult known as the Westboro Baptist Church, as well as a fascinating story of adaptation and perseverance. Since no organized religion will claim affiliation with the WBC, it's perhaps more accurate to think of them as a cult. Lauren Drain was thrust into that cult at the age of 15, and then spat back out again seven years later. Banished is the story of Lauren's fight to find herself amidst dramatic changes in a world of extremists and a life in exile.

Description
The activist and TED speaker Megan Phelps-Roper reveals her life growing up in the most hated family in America
At the age of five, Megan Phelps-Roper began protesting homosexuality and other alleged vices alongside fellow members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas. Founded by her grandfather and consisting almost entirely of her extended family, the tiny group would gain worldwide notoriety for its pickets at military funerals and celebrations of death and tragedy. As Phelps-Roper grew up, she saw that church members were close companions and accomplished debaters, applying the logic of predestination and the language of the King James Bible to everyday life with aplomb - which, as the church’s Twitter spokeswoman, she learned to do with great skill. Soon, however, dialogue on Twitter caused her to begin doubting the church’s leaders and message: If humans were sinful and fallible, how could the church itself be so confident about its beliefs? As she digitally jousted with critics, she started to wonder if sometimes they had a point - and then she began exchanging messages with a man who would help change her life.
A gripping memoir of escaping extremism and falling in love, Unfollow relates Phelps-Roper’s moral awakening, her departure from the church, and how she exchanged the absolutes she grew up with for new forms of warmth and community. Rich with suspense and thoughtful reflection, Phelps-Roper’s life story exposes the dangers of black-and-white thinking and the need for true humility in a time of angry polarization.

I teared up with pride more than once.
Megan is a true modern day hero. From where she came from to where she is now is nothing short of awe striking.
I am a part of the LGBT community so have known about the Westboro Baptist Church for many years and really enjoyed this insight into it.
Highly recommend

Enlightening
Why do good people do bad things? Megan Phelps-Roper will tell you. Whatever we think we know, whoever we exclude, for whatever reasons, we need to doubt it all. The systems she describes are universal, are we are almost all deluded and complicit in something similar.

utterly fascinating
I'm never one to like authors reading their own work but MPR breaks the mold here. Her cadence combined with her prose was captivating and moving. Easily one of my favorite books of the year.

Timely
A story for our times which allows the reader to understand how someone can be part of the “most hated family” in America and act in what seems incredibly cruel ways and yet, also be genuinely kind and loving
The author clearly expresses the huge dangers of black and white thinking - the craziness and cruelty of blanket certitude.

Shockingly relatable
She painted the context of how one could hold such seemingly crazy beliefs, without condoning or condemning. Very soothing voice as well, she should read other books too!

Timely and Important
Well-written and an important cautionary story for our times. Even the most intelligent and self-reflective people can be victims of indoctrination and groupthink when living in an echo chamber. Great respect for Megan’s courage to break out of her bubble. Hopefully her work can inspire others to open their minds.

Insight
Insight into something I just can't really comprehend. Thanks to Megan Phelps-Roper for her open, emotional, and probably difficult, memoir.
Having been raised mainstream Christian, I can not wrap my head around the beliefs- so Old Testament and fire and brimstone retribution-of some of these self proclaimed to be righteous, churches. Such hate and vitriol. No mention of Jesus and love one another, judge not, etc.
I can understand how hard it would have been for Megan and her sister to leave all they ever knew, their family and all the brainwashing of their very sheltered and controlled upbringing. Thank God they were strong enough and sincere enough to move forward and change their lives; to work to make the world a better place and promote understanding and acceptance of everyone.
How sad that some people will cut loved ones out of their life if they think they don't believe what they are told to believe and obey blindly.
