Jehovah's Witness - From In Crowd to Outcast

Jehovah's Witness - From In Crowd to Outcast

Sean has a YouTube channel called "Ask An Apostate (almost) Anything" https://www.youtube.com/user/cordialneondiva/featured Like most born-in Jehovah’s Witnesses, Sean got baptized young at age 16. Over the course of time he served as a ministerial servant, engaged in regular and auxiliary pioneer service. According to Sean, the waking up process was rough and so is the subsequent fallout. However, he confidently states that “It's totally worth it, but man, it's brutal.Sean was raised in a progressive Jehovah’s Witness household where he remembers his father climbing the Jehovah’s Witness corporate ladder. Both parents were regular pioneers (and his mom remains one today). Throughout the years, his parents have sacrificed a lot for the organization.Sean’s dad was the regional convention and circuit assembly overseer and has now been moved into a position where he is being used to train other brothers to do the same thing. He also did a lot of work on Kingdom Hall quick builds and Assembly Hall builds, and has done work with the LDC, RBC, and HLC. He recalls meeting a lot of "heavy hitters" in the organization. He grew up constantly going to dinners and family vacations with district overseers, circuit overseers, branch representatives, bethel speakers, missionaries, and even went to dinner with a Governing Body member. (Or at least he thinks he was, but at such a young age he was not impressed.Sean’s family hobnobbed with the elite Jehovah’s Witnesses, and he got to see a LOT of the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes on at regional conventions and on local congregation levels. Looking back, he believes this was the start of his waking up process although he didn’t realize it at the time. Please consider supporting our work on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/exjwcriticalthinker Support the show

Jehovah’s Witness Women, Second Class Citizens?

Jehovah’s Witness Women, Second Class Citizens?

March is Women's History Month and this video is dedicated to all of the ladies in the JW and EXJW communities.Women: Brilliant Minds, but why Second?This podcast features a variety of women from around the world providing their own perspective on what it was like being a female in the Jehovah's Witness community. They share their thoughts on what it means to feel like a second-class citizen. They discuss everything from being asked to clean the men’s bathroom and being dismissed by the circuit overseer to being humiliated by the head covering requirement. Some of the ladies stated that they didn’t even realize they were being treated like a second-class citizen until after they left and began realizing the lunacy of the teachings.JT & Lady Cee engage in real talk by discussing their own personal issues with how women were treated in the organization. Looking back, JT agrees that the teachings were definitely insane.Most women in the organization fall in line with the Watchtower’s teachings because they believe it is a commandment from God.  They become immune to the mistreatment and their mind adjusts thus allowing them to believe it's normal.
