So, I did a thing ... Shunned VIDcast #1 - Secrets - Jehovah's Witnesses and Cult Life

dubstepped

Alright, many of you know me from the This JW Life and Shunned Podcasts along with my inane ramblings on here. I just made my first video and put myself out there on Youtube along with my podcast episodes that are on there now.

I put my podcast audio up on there as videos and new people are subscribing and finding it through that. So, I figured that maybe I should put a real video up too and push past my fears and just like I did with the first episode of This JW Life last year around this time.

I hope it helps someone.

Brilliant! I will be following too!

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH, MIKE!!! I smiled through the whole thing. You are seriously such an inspiration for having the guts to just put yourself out there under less than perfect conditions (no studio lights, shimmering backdrops and gum-chewing cameraman behind the scenes).

I am literally this close to doing the same and just broadcasting my apostate ramblings:

I need to just squeeze my eyes shut, scream "3, 2, 1, GO!" and rip that f*cker of a bandaid off.

Lol Joho, I literally have that exact car sitting outside. It's a sign from Jehovah. The time is right! Close your eyes and jump. The worse that can happen is what? You don't enjoy it and stop? You take your channel down? I bet you could do a basic intro video and have it up in the next 24 hours and post it up on here.

Not that I'm giving you a challenge or anything. ;)

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

OMGAAAHHH nooo. I always bleep my face out in pics on here. Then you'll all knowwwwwwwww.

Not meaning to play on your emetophobia, but I literally feel like barfing from the anxiety of being online! I said to @stuckinarut2 that maaayyybbbeee if I ever take the plunge, I'll just make videos on Vimeo and share them with you guys in the Members Only section. I don't know, I don't knowwww...

*pukes*

Oh, and my cameraman was a tripod. The audio sucked (in my standards) and I wasn't pleased with the auto focus but I now busted through with my first video. I can work on those things little by little. I've already heard from people. Now, I have an audience already so that helps, but everyone starts somewhere. If one person listens and finds commonality you've done more than billions of hours spent by the cult knocking on doors.

There's only one way to know....

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho

I think I'll just squeegee your car window outside for now until I get the nerve to bust into your studio and roll that fifty dollar camera.
