Jexit 2020

Published by Martin Riley

  • Religion & spirituality
  • Religion

My name is Riley and I'm a former Jehovah's Witness. In 2020, I woke up to the fact that the Jehovah's Witnesses are not "the one true religion" as I was raised to believe. In fact, the religion is a high-control group, which causes a lot of harm to current and former members. In this podcast, I share my experiences being raised as a Jehovah's Witness, discuss JW doctrine, and interview former members.
