On December 2, 2023, I was in a car accident. I am recovering from a fractured sternum. This has been a difficult process, but you have to remain calm and keep your chin up because although it is a long road to recovery, eventually we will find our way through the bumps and bruises.

Fran and Joe left the Jehovah’s Witness organization in their 70s — proving that courage has no age limit. Nearly four years after waking up to “the truth about the truth” and two and a half years after officially disassociating, they’ve built a new life centered on freedom, connection, and helping others.
In this conversation on Hidden Struggles, we talk about:
What life looks like after leaving in your 70s
How they’ve built community and connection post-organization
The importance of courage and hope at any age
Fran and Joe’s story is a powerful reminder that you are not alone — and it’s never too late to reclaim your freedom.
