The Jehovah's Witnesses
TV-14 V,L,D
For the very first time, Leah and Mike meet with former members of a different organization--the Jehovah's Witnesses. In this special 2-hour episode, a panel of contributors open up and share their personal stories of growing up in this secretive organization. Our hosts will hear stories of tragedy and loss including: family members who died from refusing blood transfusions; siblings and parents lost to suicide; families torn apart by the practice of disfellowshipping (shunning); the belief in women's inherent inferiority; and the alleged failure to punish child abusers or even to believe in claims of abuse. Our audience will join Leah and Mike as they learn how another organization besides Scientology can subvert and exploit belief, on an even larger scale. |
