Real stories, told by real people.
It's about the Human experience. And the stories shared on this channel, come from all walks of life. They include struggle, pain, and challenges. Abuse, addiction, and trauma. There reminders to any of you in a bad spot right now. That you're not alone, and things can change.
One of these stories today comes from F.S. Raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but it even started sooner for him - "my indoctrination started before I was born", mentioning how his mother would listen to tapes of sermons and doctrines while pregnant. A common and encouraged practice amongst JW's.
F.S. talks about his childhood, and the teachings perpetuated by the elders, "prophets" and other members of the church that traumatized him. This constant talk of Armageddon is soon to come, and the end is near. How damaging to the psyche of a child can that be? - "It made me suicidal big time, as a child, the first suicidal thought I had, was at 10 years old." He wasn't the only one. Sadly, he knew of others that did take their lives who were raised under similar conditions. In detail, F.S. also breaks down a lot of the scandals, abuse cases (past and present), and other practices/beliefs that have cost the lives of thousands. Including the refusal of organ transplants and blood transfusions.
Just recently (a couple years ago) he separated himself from the organization, and because of it, lost everything. He was shunned. Family, friends, and ultimately the world as he knew it, gone. That's his reason for wanting to share his story. Fueled with a righteous anger, and a passion to bring awareness to what's been going on under the guise of 'religion'. F.S. calls it a cult. After listening to his story, I'll let you come to your own conclusions.
Your thoughts are welcome below.
How do you feel, about it, is this a cult or religion?
'Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!
