Wesley David Ringel is a songwriter, musician, and activist based out of Long Beach, California. When he's not playing dueling pianos, he's enjoying life away from the "older white men" who run Jehovah's Witnesses-- a group "where independent thinking is viewed as Satanic". Join Rachel and Wesley in their powerful talk about "The Watchtower", how it has a "criminal aspect", how Wesley has worked to rebuild his life and a sense of who he is after his experience. Stay tuned, Before You Go: Rachel speaks about the stages of being physically and mentally in and then out of a cult, and the process of disillusionment and alienation that slowly leads to people reclaiming their lives. She also discusses the dangers of isolation after leaving.
