Episode Nineteen - Lyndi is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses


Listen Later

A young girl finds herself in a new life, with new exciting hopes and dreams as part of the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses, but with very real fears of doom with a looming Armageddon. This story develops into a young JW marriage fraught with issues that often happen in such relationships. Added to that is a pregnancy followed by postpartum depression, and a spiral that leads into new relationships that ultimately help her wake up to the realities of a life that she was given at such a young age.

Lyndi has a Youtube Channel dedicated to helping her JW daughter understand what happened someday. It is called To Shay, and it is a touching tribute to her daughter from a mom that just happens to see things differently now. Here is a link.

The song that she chose to represent her journey is "Be Like That" by 3 Doors Down.

A movie that impacted her is called "The Village".

She was helped by the website JWfacts.com

And of course, she was helped by the book Crisis of Conscience, a must read for anyone associated with Jehovah's Witnesses.
