Critical Thinking is NOT encouraged
Any group that tells you NOT to look to outside sources for ideas or research on any subject, or who tells you not to seek secondary or higher education, is manipulating you into staying malleable for further brain washing. The next suggestion the JW’s have for you, instead of going to college, is to just work a part-time job and spend the rest of your time making more JW disciples and getting people to convert to their doctrine. Members are striped of their autonomy and not allowed critical thinking or personal choice. They are programmed to obey and report back on other JWs. It keeps you in a constant state of fear from even being yourself around people. You develop “imposter syndrome” and lead a double life because you have to in order to survive. I know this because I was born into the JW cult. At age 5, I knew I wanted out. I also knew I had 13 more years to have to hide my true thoughts and feelings from my family that I was not a believer because they had already dumped off my oldest sister out of the house when she was 16 and I was 2. They claimed my sister worshiped Satan and was a lesbian which was enough for my delusional mother to send my oldest sister out of our home. The reality was my sister was smoking cigarettes and wanting to go out with her friends from school instead of the approved JWs. I spent my entire childhood knowing all my friends and family would be torn away and shun me when i finally broke from their cult at 18. It was extremely traumatic and it still affects me now at 50 years old. Thanks for letting me know there are others who have survived escaping this dangerous group. They need to be exposed.
Love it
Great Podcast. I can relate to just about every single topic. This show is the realest. JT sounds just like the elders which makes it so much easier on the ears when he critiques the cult. Haha, if that doesn’t make me brainwashed!!!
Thank you- bless you
I’m a third generation JW, and left when I was 19 after living in foster care because of the abuse of my Elder Father. I knew I made the right decision when I had my son. And I knew that I couldn’t subject my child to the abuses of my own childhood. Thank you!!!
