Was I In A Cult?

[UPDATE] Jehovah’s Witnesses: “Shut Up and Be Blessed”


Listen Later

**Note: This episode originally aired in September 2021. Stick around til the end for a catch up interview with Daniel 4 years later.**


With rockstar aspirations, Daniel O'Brien wasn't looking for anything but a good time. But when heartbreak rocked his world, he tripped into something that lifted his spirits and rallied his hopes - the Jehovah's Witnesses. Before he knew it, Daniel had traded his guitar for a green Bible and found himself rapidly rising through the ranks of the religion. A wife, and two kids later, he was a fully indoctrinated, high ranking Elder in the church. But when Daniel realizes that he's part of a life much different than the one he originally signed up for, he knows that he must leave. The only problem is... he can't.
