Hello all.
I implore you to the time out and listen to this podcast where Sam Harris interviews the granddaughter of the Founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, about her experience there and LEAVING. Megan Phelps-Roper.
The Parallels to the JW world are astounding!

I hope some of you listen it to it.
It is really good and her book seems to be doing well.

I saw the tv series "Why We Hate" on Discovery, episode one. They have an interview with the granddaughter.
I have DirectTV, and you probably can find it on their OnDemand feature. Or somewhere else if someone on here knows that.
She explains why she thought she was doing the right thing and what made her start questioning and researching which led to her decision to leave.

This was a good watch too on TED talks.

Megan P-R was interviewed in 2017 by Joe Rogan on his webcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience' linked here: JRE #974
During that interview, Megan describes meeting and becoming friends with a JW couple who later became xJWs.
