  As a person that listens to audiobooks, I love it most when the author reads it.

  My wife listened to that one. A friend pointed it out. She thought it was okay. She liked the trip down memory lane about how things went. If you're looking for an exjw perspective it isn't really that.

  It is always funny though to listen to some podcast that you like and then boom, all of the sudden the dubs come up in conversation in some way.

  And the new episode is out now. Part 1 of David's story.

  When I started talking to David it was clear that this was going to be a special interview. He had so much to talk about and such a vulnerability about him and he was willing to go deep on anything we talked about very quickly. So this is the first in a three part series that includes two episodes to cover his story and a third bonus episode featuring some of the pre-interview process and what came up there. Unlike the first 5 episodes, this one is produced as a conversation between him and I.

  David’s story does involve sexual abuse and he gets very real with it. With that said, David’s story is sooooo much more than that. It was a huge part of his awakening process, and as it is a huge topic right now among the cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses it is featured, but it was but one part of David’s story. It plays a pivotal role in his path out of the cult, but even then his story just builds and builds throughout these episodes.

  In Episode 6 – Part 1, you will get to know David a bit. This episode builds and will take you through David’s upbringing and right up into the beginnings of adulthood. You will learn a lot about him and if you aren’t familiar with the cult of Jehovah’s Witnesses you will learn about it as well through this process. There is no mention of the abuse in this first part, so no trigger warning is necessary. That will come in Part 2 and the way these things are handled in the cult will be discussed there.

  Here is the summary on my website, including resources mentioned in the episodes:

  You can listen right there, streaming from the site, or you can download and listen on your favorite podcast app.

  Watch Tower's eBay account

  the last post about the violin for sale got me to looking at their ebay account which says it's based in wallkill.

  they've got over 200 items for sale, most obsolete electronics that are grossly overpriced.

  among them are used hard drives, like this one:.

  I looked to see if they had a microphone for sale that I could use to record my podcasts. Unfortunately they only had wireless ones for sale, but that would be kind of awesome to use one of their mics for the "shunned" podcast.

  how long did you all wait before telling new friends or someone you are or were dating that you used to be a witness?

  how did they react?

  if you did tell them do they make jokes at you every so often about it 😊 is it best not to tell people?

  I tell everyone and am very open. It's a fascinating story and people are genuinely interested. When you're open and vulnerable people respect that. The occasional person is overwhelmed by the sadness of shunning and kind of shuts down and tries to change the subject so just let them and move on, but most people will respect you for standing up even with such dire consequences.

  My wife and I have way more friends now than we ever did in the cult where everyone refers to others as "the friends".

  What would you say?

  if you had 2 minutes with an old witness friend or with a family member to convince them the 'truth' is a lie and the gb isnt being directed by god what would you say to get their attention that might make them question their beliefs?.

  They kept members after 1975. People stuck around after Tight Pants Tony, constant changes in what a generation means including overlapping ones, and likely lots of local scandals. There is none so blind as he who shall not see. They put their fingers on their ears and close their eyes. You'd be wasting 2 minutes of your life.

  Your best chance is probably to have them watch something like the Scientology shows by Leah Remini. Perhaps they would wake up to the similarities, but anything that is done requires them to wake up. 2 minutes isn't enough to do anything.
