Jehovah Boy with Doug Smith

Doug welcomes ex-JW author Amber Scorah to the show to discuss her book Leaving the Witness: Exiting a Religion and Finding a Life. After being disfellowshipped as a teenager for sexual immorality, Amber reimmersed herself in the organization, relocating to China to preach undercover amidst the threat of religious persecution. When her life in the truth was exposed as a web of lies, she plotted her final exit, only to have her entry into the real world upended by tragedy.

Doug takes a deep dive on JW weddings… the bland ceremony, the terrible music, and the horny young virgins who just want the whole thing to be over with so they can finally get down to business.

Doug responds to a listener email. This ex-JW golden boy had good looks and athletic ability up the wazoo but it almost all went to waste. Forced to turn away from female attention and fight gay allegations all through high school, he balled his way to a division one scholarship despite his disapproving mothers attempts to sideline him.

Doug welcomes Nappy Roots’ very own Fish Scales to the show! As a career rapper with a brewmaster side hustle, his current lifestyle never would have been possible had he remained under the thumb of the JW organization. Thanks to a basketball scholarship and a college education, Scales quickly saw the fallacies of their belief system and courageously left to find his true calling.

Doug responds to an email from a listener who was raised JW and Catholic AT THE SAME TIME! Caught in a crossfire of feuding parents, the religious tug of war led to double the indoctrination, double the depression, and an uphill battle to break free from the chaos.

Doug welcomes comedian, podcaster, and fellow ex-JW Randy Savagery to the show! As a kid with a non-believer dad, Randy experienced all the joys of holidays, video games, girls and more, but not without a strict Bible thumping mom to even things out.
