Ep 12. Angels and Doubts - a Jehovah’s Witness Childhood.

Part 1 of a 3 part personal story. Dad (Stephen) describes his childhood as a Jehovah’s Witness, from his early experiences of being the only Witness at school and confidence that he had an angelic protector, his training in the preaching work and taking part in meetings, through to leaving school and getting baptised. Dad remembers his dominant emotions of fear and anxiety and the concept of bloodguilt, as well as a belief that he would have to endure persecution. This against a background of growing doubts about what he’d been taught and his gradual realisation of his own beliefs.
