Listen "My Life Is More Important Than My Pain - Conversation with Former Jehovah's Witness, Daniella from Australia"

Episode Synopsis

Daniella discusses how the Jehovah’s Witness organization forbade the members from interacting with outsiders unless it was for the purpose of recruitment.  Daniella takes issue with this stance as she says that the church used this stance to spray psychological abuse on its members.  She discusses how she became introduced with the JW organization at the age of 14.  Daniella describes elements of her upbringing that are rather difficult and the JW organization seemed to offer her and her family some positivity.  She does not consider herself to be a christian, but rather a humanitarian.  Daniella considers the JW’s a cult and came to that conclusion after doing some research on her own.  WARNING:Some of the content in this episode deals with domestic and sexual abuse.If you or someone you know is a victim of  domestic or sexual violence, please know that support is available through  Domestic Violence Support and RAINN - The nation's largest anti-sexual violence organizationSupport the showStay updated on Aldo's current and future projects by signing up for his NewsletterOther Podcasts by Aldo B.
