My wife and I listened on our 16 hour drive yesterday and we both enjoyed the interview. We were both struck by your sincerity Ben, and love the points you made about confirmation bias in research for the writing. It's obvious that's what they often do.
We were both wondering about your wife and were glad you spoke about her at the end. I'm glad that you two still support one another despite differences.
i am an elementary school teacher of the fourth grade.
in times past, students would start learning cursive handwriting in third grade and by fourth should be transitioning to writing in cursive at all times.
as you might be aware, this has all but been taken out of the curriculum.
If they would teach things like emotional intelligence or critical thinking instead I'd be happier. I think there are more life skills needed than fancy writing. Chalk me up as one that thinks cursive is a waste of time.

We're going on a trip Monday and I just downloaded the audio from it that we can listen to on part of the drive. Looking forward to it.
it was announced in this year’s annual meeting that they believe that the king of the north is russia and the king of the south is us/britain.
for me this is the first time hearing from the society actually identifying the identity of the king of the north.
very interesting times!
@Jules Saturn - What do you think about it? You say that it's "very interesting times". Is it interesting to you because you believe them on some level, or are you finding it interesting because they're calling their shot (again)? I just wonder, because they do this stuff to trigger fear and anxiety even in people that act like they are out that "oh know, maybe they're right".
They pretty much thought the same before. They just bring out stuff like this to whip people up. They are good at it, and people fall for it time and time again.

Haha, awesome doubtfull1799! Of course it's okay for people to share when they're ready. I just thought since it was in the title and he was on camera that he was ready and made the jump.
I'll have to check out the video when I get some time. I have seen a few of Fifth's interviews and enjoyed them. It will be cool to get to know another poster here a bit more too.

Who is Ben on here? Just curious. I love seeing people step out into the light.
i just saw an ad last night for this.
it will be televised in november on a&e..
John Lloyd Cedars-Evans has done more to help people than most. I get it if you see him as a jerk, but to close your mind off from everyone else just because you dislike one guy is pretty weak mentally. That's snowflake stuff right there.
I applaud anyone that wants to do something and speak out. I love that Leah and Mike are continuing this.
a young girl finds herself in a new life, with new exciting hopes and dreams as part of the cult of jehovah’s witnesses, but with very real fears of doom with a looming armageddon.
this story develops into a young jw marriage fraught with issues that often happen in such relationships.
added to that is a pregnancy followed by postpartum depression, and a spiral that leads into new relationships that ultimately help her wake up to the realities of a life that she was given at such a young age.you can listen to the podcast on your podcast app of choice (itunes, apple podcast, google play, podcast republic is my app of choice, podbean, etc.)..
Well, I have some pretty good guests at times too don't I Caves. ;)
Seriously, thanks for the love. I do get more comfortable as I go along. With This JW Life there's a marked difference between episode 1 and the last episodes. I'm glad it's at least going the right direction, lol.

Thanks for the kinds words, both of you. Yeah, she's been through hell. She managed to keep her sense of humor through it all and was fun to talk to despite heavy subject matter.
I don't do on camera interviews on purpose. For one, it takes greater bandwidth and can degrade the quality of the audio, which isn't good for a podcast.
More importantly though, I actually did a couple on video at first and I feel like people are more vulnerable without being seen. They're still in their little bubble, nobody can see if they get emotional, and I think it feels safer for them. Or maybe I'm just projecting my own feelings, but I digress.
I am definitely more comfortable in front of the camera than I ever thought I'd be. Still it isn't easy and I have to be in the right mood to do it.
