This is a recording of my presentation at the 2023 International Cultic Studies Association annual convention in Louisville, Kentucky.  It was recorded on Friday July 30 in front of a live audience, as well as streamed online for those with tickets to the event.  The theme of the conference was "The Cult Phenomenon in the Covid World".  My presentation was about the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses and their response to the pandemic.  If you would like to watch the full video, you can see that on my YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/ADem_-x19XU

This podcast was made possible by my original podcast This JW Life. You can find it on any podcast app. It is a 9 part series about life as Jehovah’s Witnesses designed to help you understand how it worked in one comprehensive story and to help you process your own if you came from that environment.
