In search of custody hearing advice ...
by dubstepped ini don't have kids, but i recently found that someone with kids that lives in my town is also an ex-jw.
she just happened to post on an apostafest thread on facebook for an event that i attended, saw that we lived in the same place, and i met her for the first time tonight.
pretty cool.. she has a 14 year old boy that is super smart and very articulate.

New Episode Of The Shunned Podcast If You're So Inclined
by dubstepped ini know i have a few people here that enjoy the stories on the podcast, so i announce when a new one comes out.
also sometimes this is a way for new people to find it and get help if they want, so here it is.
between this jw life (my first podcast) and shunned we just went over the 40,000 individual download mark, which is pretty cool.. i just released episode sixteen about sydney, and it's a great look into the narcissism and authoritarian nature of the cult.

A new podcast episode, and a new book by an ex-JW
by dubstepped ina new podcast interview, and a new book, on episode 15 of the "shunned" podcast.. .
jason grew up in amish country but was raised in the cult of jehovah’s witnesses.
this story has cars hidden in the woods for a getaway, living on boats, time spent in rehab, a jw group of “lost boys” that were dealing drugs, just your average story of leaving a cult.

New Episode of Shunned - Kacey - Divided family, sexual abuse, drug abuse, & turning life around.
by dubstepped inkacey grew up as one of jehovah’s witnesses in the same kingdom hall as i did, so this episode is personal for me too.
in this episode you’re going to hear what it can be like to grow up in a “divided household”, what it feels like to never fit in with the one community that you’re supposed to have in life, and how childhood sexual abuse can create a perfect storm that results in so much damage to a person.
you’ll also hear how a person can rise above the damage and find happiness in life.. you can download the shunned podcast on itunes (apple podcasts), google play, or your podcast app of choice (i use podcast republic).

New Shunned VIDcast #3 - Comparing Ourselves To Others
by dubstepped injust released a new vidcast on the youtubes for "shunned" about comparing ourselves to others.
you have to at least watch the first 30 seconds for my sweet sweet new theme music.. in this vidcast i drop a sweet new theme song, followed by a serious discussion of how we view ourselves and our stories after leaving the cult of jehovah's witnesses.
comparison isn't typically healthy, and i discuss how it goes awry and how we can help give proper weight to our experiences.. subscribe to my podcast here, on itunes, google play, your podcast app of choice, and/or visit my site at http://shunnedpodcast.com for more information.. https://youtu.be/qo0n69vme-o.

Episode 13 - Fernando is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses - Is Out Now
by dubstepped inepisode 13 - fernando is shunned by jehovah's witnesses, is out now.. one of the hallmarks of growing up as one of jehovah’s witnesses is that feeling that you’re never “good enough”.
it drives a lot of the depression seen in the cult, and is often something that people that leave take with them.
imagine if instead of just feeling less than because maybe you aren’t hitting some goal of hours spent knocking on doors or taking care of responsibilities in the congregation that are expected of you the problem was something as personal and natural as your sexuality.

You won't believe this ... Jehovah's rich blessing has befallen me !!!
by dubstepped inmy dad died a couple years back (not how you thought this would start, i know).
he was an elder, and a very emotionally abusive father, well before the point where he ever shunned me.
he died pretty much penniless, and never would buy life insurance or anything.
