Jehovah is speeding up the work!!! Watch out for that chariot!!!!! It can move in any direction, including backward, spins, etc. The FDS is sooooo discreet. You can tell they're being directed by holy spirit by the sexual abuse cover ups and financial issues. I might go back.

Anybody else get 4:55 worth of video on video four even though it says it's 9:55 long? I've never seen something like that before. It goes that far and then it just spins, but the reality is that it's at the end of the video timeline even though there should be 5 minutes left.

Our very own pale.emperor on the "shunned" podcast.......
by dubstepped inwell, i offered in one of his threads to have him on the show and posters seemed excited at the possibility and we got it done so now you can hear from the man himself on the newest episode of "shunned".
one of our very own stepped up to tell his story, well, aside from myself of course.
it was great getting to actually speak with him.. this is my first international interview for the podcast.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about that. I've heard that they're fatal in predominantly Muslim countries but wonder how they handle it in more developed countries (if that's the term). Can't go around killing dissenters in the USA, for instance, much to the chagrin of the WTBTS.

See my second post in this thread for other ways to listen. Let me know if you have any other questions. I hope that helps.
Here's some info from a quick search on Google Play that might help:

Oh, and I just thought I'd throw this out for those that might be interested. If you subscribe you'll get this little episode in the middle of the month. If anyone has input I'm happy to take it in. It's weird to ask for money (I never enjoyed it as a dub either and rarely did it at the doors), but I have good reason.
So I think I'm going to drop a little bonus episode in the middle of this month asking for donations and outlining why specifically. I have a listener to my This JW Life podcast that has helped me with some SEO, and part of that was getting all of my episodes transcribed. Having written content is a huge part of SEO. For those unfamiliar, SEO is search engine optimization, a way of working with sites like Google to get your site indexed and found.
This listener paid out of his own pocket to get my This JW Life podcast transcribed. He used a site like Trint.com which charges $15 per hour of audio, and it is done through a speech to text program. It isn't the most high quality transcription, in that it is a computer listening and it won't get every word accurate, but it's far cheaper than true transcription and has the same effect of getting lots of written content on the site. Still, he must have spent hundreds to get my story transcribed.
If I could get these episodes of "shunned" transcribed, especially with some of the diversity that I hope to get in the interviews, I think I could build a site that will rank well. Why does that matter?
If it ranks well more people will find it and listen. For example, with the work that my listener and new friend has done on This JW Life I'm getting more traffic in the search engines and it shows. Suddenly I'm getting many more spam comments on the site to moderate (yay me), but I'm also getting a rash of emails from real people that are starting to listen and are getting help through it and reaching out.
I actually had a spike in May due to some of the work he's done for a podcast that I no longer even produce. This JW Life is going to hit 20,000 downloads this month.
I pay out of my own pocket for everything with "shunned". I added it up and it looks like it would cost about $330 (rough and dirty math) to get the current episodes transcribed. Then it will cost around $30-60/month for future episodes (assuming 2-4 hours).
I've also paid for a course on SEO so that I can know what I'm doing and do some of my own for the "shunned" podcast and I've been taking that for weeks now.
So with some financial backing (wouldn't take much, if I have let's say 1,000 downloads a month, if I could get like 60 people to do $1 per month on Patreon, or 30 at $2, or....or...or....) I can keep building content out that will help get the site ranked and competing for traffic online. That will get more of our stories heard, maybe even bring in other shunned groups. The more the merrier. Things seem to be picking up, probably somewhat even because people listen to This JW Life and then transition over to "shunned". It all works together.
I'll be putting something together in the middle of the month. I know that people sometimes get freaked out if people seem to make money off of these things. I'm not seeking to make money, though I think it would be super cool to make a living doing something like this and helping people, but I can't afford as a house cleaner to be putting it all in on my dime every month.

@humbled - I love that you pointed out that every story has it's own flavor. Of course, it took me a bit to settle in as the role of the interviewer and to put out the current iteration, but even with a questionnaire to give to every person my goal is to let each person tell their story their way. The questionnaire is a loose outline to take us through life in a somewhat logical manner, but each person injects their own personality and way of storytelling. I give people as much time as needed to tell what they have to tell. I don't want them to be cookie cutter.
I knew that quote from Thomas would catch people's attention if they checked it out. I remember reading through the book and thinking that some of it was so different, others so similar, to other Gospel books. That last verse though. Yikes.

@Listener - My goal is to bring in the stories of other people that are shunned as well. I have one interview with a former Mennonite and one with a former FLDS member. I'd like to branch out to some more as well, but I always want the core to be our ex-JW community. I want to show that we aren't alone in feeling the effects of shunning, and to show that we really aren't such disparate groups of shunned people but rather one big group that has been cast aside by various groups. At the same time I want to get our stories told because we are likely among the largest section of those that are shunned. I mean, I can't think of any other religion (maybe Islam, don't they shun?), that has the size and practices shunning that JWs do. Our stories aren't often told, and they need to be.

@steve2 - Yeah, if you're not a podcast person, it can seem daunting, but I'll give you an easy way and the more complicated way (that opens up a host of possibilities for you) below.
The easy way to listen is to go here:
http://shunnedpodcast.com/episode-12-mark-is-shunned-by-jehovahs-witnesses/
Just click play on the player. That's just as easy as Youtube. That's a direct link to pale.emperor's episode.
Like I said in the original post, you can go to http://shunnedpodcast.com/episodes/ and all of them are right there with a player. Again, just click play and listen to any of them.The more complicated way, but the way that people typically listen to podcast, is to get a podcast app. The biggies are Apple and Google, but I use Podbean, and my wife uses Podcast Republic (actually probably my favorite). You download the app, search for podcasts (in my case you'd search for shunned), and then click subscribe. Download the ones you want to listen to, and from then on any new ones will automatically download to your device.
If you do this a whole new world will open up to you. Now, audio isn't for everyone, just like video on Youtube isn't. For me, I work and clean houses and can listen all day while I work. In fact, I'd go crazy if I didn't have something to listen to other than the noise in my head. I would never be able to consume content from Youtube, but I can download and listen to audio all day. There are podcasts on just about anything you can imagine.
Let me know if you have any questions or problems with anything. I'm happy to help.

This is my first international interview for the podcast. Growing up poor in Liverpool, Mark and his family were Jehovah’s Witnesses. This interview is a great conversation about his life growing up, what he went through, and the really unique way that he was outed that shook up his life. We talk about beliefs and his studies of the books that were left out of the Bible as most know it. At the end there’s a pleasant surprise about someone in his family that some may know from his posts, but if you're not caught up you'll find out. Mark has a great attitude about everything that happened and he’s now trying to help others.
You can subscribe at iTunes (Apple Podcasts), Google Play, or wherever you get podcasts. You can also stream live from shunnedpodcast.com/episodes/, and you can leave comments there as well for every guest.
**Oh, and "shunned" just passed the 10,000 download mark, and I'm very excited about that!**

I think it's smart to do everything reasonable to help expansion teams get off to a good start. It instantly brings excitement to a new franchise to help it flourish. I've heard talking heads go on about how upset they'd be if they were a team like Toronto, but they've had a long time to get it done so I don't see how they can complain too much.
