Religious Reality: Inside the World of Jehovah’s Witnesses with Lara Kaput


Listen Later

In this insightful episode, Rachel Bernstein interviews Lara Kaput, a whistleblower and former Jehovah's Witness. Lara shares her journey from being born into the Jehovah's Witnesses to leaving at 19 and becoming an advocate for survivors of abuse within the organization. She discusses the emotional, psychological, and financial toll of being a whistleblower, including the lack of governmental and community support. Kaput also addresses issues like modern slavery, social isolation, and mental health challenges faced by Jehovah's Witnesses. The conversation highlights the power of speaking out, the underlying fear and control mechanisms within the group, and the importance of government submissions and witness testimonies in bringing about change.
