Surviving Paradise

Whether it's personal matters like sex and grooming or life altering doctrines like blood and organ transplants … or now their most comically embarrassing teaching on  'overlapping generations' leading back to 1914, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses claim they can change the foundation of their 'religion' with the flick of a light switch. Lifting a sentence out of Proverbs chapter four, these guys claim they're 'God's mouthpiece' to mankind and the Almighty himself allows billions to believe in error until He decides to give 'new light' to those special fellas in upstate New York....consequences be damned! Let's take a look at what "new light" means to the common Jehovah's Witness.

Is it true that only Jehovah's Witnesses will dodge the fireballs at Armageddon? Let's unpack decades of eager anticipation for a mass genocide from the 'god of love, not fear' (1 John 4:18) and his chosen guys in upstate New York... after all, those guys were chosen by Jesus to help him decide who gets to be bird food... and who get's to live forever in khakis on a paradise earth!

NOTE: still need to shave your face in paradise and dogs will now be on leashes.

Jehovah's Witnesses claim that Jesus Christ chose them as his one and only organization for communication. Let's check in on what Jesus saw when he decided 'these guys' are the best of the best to represent him to all of mankind! Jesus sent them "inspiration" on everything from a parable turned into a prophecy about 8 guys in NY, to tinfoil, tonsils, male superiority and more! Listen in... laugh, cry, bang your head against the wall ... let's see what Jesus saw!

Jehovah's Witnesses claim Jesus personally chooses all congregation elders by means of the all magical 'holy spirit'....otherwise known as 'the force' to Star Wars fans. How does Jesus make so many mistakes when choosing his guys to lead the congregation? Why does Jesus appoint men that have never read the bible or their own literature; that have family problems and like their booze? Or worse: commit crimes against children?! This former elder pulls back the curtain on the 'elder arrangement' and what really goes down in the B school!

Memorial Season, it's the closest Jehovah's Witnesses get to a 'holiday.' Face it, it's all about seeing who 'partakes' of the crackers or wine... and with 1935 long gone, those with a Fast Pass to heaven continues to grow! Relive your favorite Memorial memories, take another look at the Passover and ask yourself how you ever believed this crap.

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!
