Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses-Critical Thinkers » Critical Thought Podcast

By: JT & Lady Cee
  • Summary

  • The Critical Thought encourages you to think critically about the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. As former members and teachers in this group, we have inside knowledge to help raise public awareness. We understand the psychological tactics the organization uses to attract new members.

    Our goal isn't to attack the religion, but to share what we've learned about how the group operates. We want to expose the false teachings they use to control their followers. Many members carry a heavy burden of shame, fear, and guilt, struggling to keep up with the group's expectations. Some want to leave but stay out of fear of losing family and friends, pretending to be committed when they're not.

    Through our platform, we hope to help anyone feeling trapped by the group's impossible standards or prevent others from joining. We aim to support educators, mend broken family relationships, and motivate people to pursue their education. If we can help even one person, we consider that a success.

  • Monica Velin Rodriguez - Mother Abducted by her Jehovah's Witness Family
    Sep 5 2024

    Send us a text

    In this powerful episode, we sit down with a 4th-generation former Jehovah's Witness who shares her deeply personal journey of faith, family, and awakening. From pioneering with her husband across multiple language congregations and dreaming of Gilead, to witnessing the heartbreaking realities of shunning and child abuse within the organization, she opens up about the emotional toll of living a life dedicated to the faith.

    She recounts the harrowing experience of her grandfather's near-death due to the 'No-blood' policy, the tragic shunning and suicide attempts of her aunt, and the recent abduction of her mother by zealous JW relatives. Her story is a testament to resilience and the painful but liberating process of waking up to the truth.

    Now, as an active member of the Stop Mandated Shunning team and a participant in significant research and legal efforts, she’s fighting to expose the harmful practices of the Jehovah's Witnesses and support others on their journey out. Tune in to hear her discuss her participation in the ICSA Conference, the groundbreaking Roehampton University Research project, and how the power of storytelling is driving legal and academic progress worldwide.

    Don't miss this candid conversation that shines a light on the unseen struggles and victories of those who have left high-control religions.

Very necessary

With all the listeners ya'll have , people could be supporting your energetic efforts with high ratings. This podcast has helped me to understand the ridiculous ways of Jehovah witnesses. My best friend is one and has always kept me hidden. We fell apart for 15 years. Now that he has been kicked out of the cult, we talk daily, but his mind is programmed. I get fed up.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
