Parenting in Jehovah's Witnesses: A Culture of Failure, Loopholes & Denial


Listen Later

Being a parent in Jehovah’s Witnesses is filled with some bizarre and painful stuff. A parent’s entire purpose in life isn’t to enjoy their children, but to get them to a baptism pool before Armageddon hits. In a set of bizarre observations, VERY few JW parents set a good example, study with their children or even believe this is a life and death matter. When the child leaves the organization as an adult, they shift to believing in ‘spiritual loopholes’ that aren’t true… and don’t seem to take responsibility for their failure to make little Jehovah’s Witnesses. We take a look at the bizarre thinking and actions of JW parents, both good and bad… and share the Governing Body’s teaching that any child not baptized as one of their disciples is doomed to destruction at Armageddon.
