Christian Cult of Jehovah's Witnesses

Sorry sorry sorry. I know I am a day late and I have received a few texts asking when this will be posted. Had a hectic day yesterday and as you can see this is my longest episode to date. So I wanted to ensure I devoted as much as possible to recording instead of trying to rush in between house cleaning yesterday.


For those who are still Jehovah's Witnesses or studying to become a Jehovah's Witness, this is your episode to identify the red flags of what a cult is and how that corresponds to the religion you are currently a part of. For those of us who have already left we see these as subtle reminders of why we should never look behind but forward.


This week I referenced the jw.org website, a howstuffworks.com article entitled, "How Cults Work", Netflix "Explained: Cults", and various articles from Dr. Robert Jay Lifton. All bible quotes are taken from the New World Translation unless otherwise noted.


If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, or would like to share your story, please feel free to email me at apostatejw@gmail.com.
