My id ... Ignant & Dissfunkshunal!: Life in the Yahweh Cult and the Witness Protection Program

At the age of twenty, Khalil Amani joined a Black Hebrew Israelite sect in Miami, Florida. For five years he endured hell on earth-witnessing and having information about beatings, welfare scams, and murders. Left spiritually devastated, Khalil left the sect, living a very dysfunctional life'a decadent and promiscuous life'womanizing, drug dealing, exotic dancing'a life filled with lustful tales and shadowy characters'ever shaping his world. Khalil became the outspoken critic and number one disgruntled ex-member, recounting on TV and in the newspapers the horrors and atrocities committed by the Yahweh sect. After a trial, in which he was the first of 160 witnesses testifying against Yahweh ben Yahweh, Khalil entered the Federal Witness Security Program, where he gives us a detailed account of the inner-workings of the Program'from someone who's actually been accepted into the government's ultra-secretive identity make-over machine. This is one black man's harrowing tale of survival in urban America'a brutally honest introspection on self, family, sex, race, religion.
