Episode Synopsis

Daniellla talks to us about leaving the organization and then being shunned by her family and friends because she was no longer a member.  She speaks about the effect that it’s had on her.  She experienced abuse in her life prior to joining the JW organization and has experienced spiritual abuse while a member.  She states that the JWs are a heartless doomsday cult. Daniella also shares some of her poetry with us.  Below is an exerpt from her poem titled “Shunned.”ShunnedIf the hills had eyesthey'd see people that hate or hear people that call us escapeesapostates because we expose the watchtower'scheapskate awakesso gullible peoplewill dig deep and donate they'll knock on your door using God as a tool to draw in society'sdowntrodden fools that lack self esteem to use for theirsneaky moneylaundering schemespainting thema perfect picture offuture falsifying dreams…Written by Daniella Djibidjee RochfordRenown Australian Poet, Wordsmith and Lyricist. Sunday February 24th, 2019Copyright. © Support the showStay updated on Aldo's current and future projects by signing up for his NewsletterOther Podcasts by Aldo B.
