Episode Forty Seven – The Fangsruds are shunned by Jehovah’s Witnesses

Four siblings, all free from the cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses, all with their own paths out. In this interview you will meet all of them and get their stories. A common theme seems to be the emotional desert that they all grew up in, a dearth of emotional health which is a hallmark of the JW faith. A lack of authenticity, not talking about the things that matter, pushing your feelings away, these are all ways to survive in a high control environment where daring to be yourself can have dire consequences.

Heather – Varlets.org is her theater company. Knock Knock, Jesus Calling is her original show.

The song she chose to represent her journey is Tainted Love by Soft Cell.

Aubrey’s song is My Church by Maren Morris
