Surviving Paradise

Introduction: Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses...and Paradise... Behind...


Listen Later

Why would anyone want to leave the 'spiritual paradise' that is Jehovah's Witnesses? We are prepared to give you well over 144,000 reasons why overlapping generations aren't a thing, facial hair is normal, Smurfs aren't demonized ... and Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult. In our first episode we cover 'who is this guy? where did he come from? And why is he starting a podcast now?'

With each episode we will laugh, cry, talk old doctrine, the new 'religion' and what it was like to grow up in the 70's and 80's as a Jehovah's Witness. It's very likely we will stray into hard hitting subjects like the magic of the cheese danish, being a kid in a Kingdom Hall with no windows ... and how some of us went from teenagers chasing girls at District Conventions, to the elders that busted the next generation. Let's hang out ... heal, laugh, reminisce!
