Please Note: Your comments are welcomed here and the people that I interview would LOVE to hear from you. Please just know that due to spam I have to approve your first posts here. After that you can post and they’ll appear automatically, but if your first comment doesn’t show up immediately that is why. I will try to get them approved ASAP so that the interviewee can see them and respond.

  1. Thank you to everyone who has been courageous enough to share their stories. I can’t begin to tell you how healing it is for me to know that I am not alone.
    Mike, thank you so much for giving us a voice. I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for you.

  2. Awww…thanks! We’re all one big cult affected dysfunctional family trying to heal from the past. I love the vulnerability of the people that I’ve been fortunate to interview.

  3. Roughly Twenty three years ago I was disfellowshipped / shunned. The narcissism, the constant berating of other religions, assuming anyone and everyone not in “The Truth” were bad people, it all pushed me to question their teachings which , of course, made me an apostate.

    I was summoned to the dreaded “meeting with the elders”. The conversation started friendly enough, but once they realized that I had actually educated myself a little bit and showed them why I thought Some of their teachings were an inverse of what the holy bible teaches, it immediately turned into a panicked interrogation. Who did I talk to, when, what did I say to them?

    I was told that if I were to be disfellowshipped that my life would be ruined! 23 years later, I have a bachelors degree in cyber security, happily married to a fine Christian woman, and we’ve adopted a child together. You do great work here. It’s healthy for people that have been brainwashed by this cult to know they aren’t alone

    Thank you Mike!

  4. I’m so sorry to hear that you went through what so many others have, but I’m so happy to hear that you’ve made something of your life that you’re proud of now. We were all given these default lives that we were expected to live as JWs, and now we have the freedom to choose.

    Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you find the podcast helpful. 🙂

    Mike
