When being disfellowshipped from the Jehovah's Witnesses, individuals often experience being completely closed off and shunned from their own congregation. Often times, in high demand religious groups such as the JW's, this community is all the individual has ever known, including family and close friends. The strain placed on marriages adds an extra layer of turmoil. In Daniel O'Brien's case, the relationship with his young sons would forever changed. In this episode, Daniel unpacks hypocrisy in the organisation, shunning and life after Jehovah. We also discuss Daniel's role in the world as a history teacher who implements critical thinking assignments into the classroom.Podcast Promotion - Generation Cult – A podcast about people who grew up in cults "To Captive Hearts and Minds" - witness.com/topic/250623/ex-jw-poetry">Ex-JW Poetry (jehovahs-witness.com)Crimecon tickets available here - www.crimecon.co.ukGet in Touch or Support:Patreon - patreon.com/thecultvaultCult Vault Shop - cultvaultpodcast.com/shopCrimecon UK 2022 - https://www.crimecon.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cultvaultpod/Twitter: https://twitter.com/CultVaultPodReddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/Cult-VaultGmail: cultvaultpodcast@gmail.comThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5704277/advertisement
