In this episode, we talk plainly about how the Governing Body uses methods of control to keep Jehovah’s Witnesses in line.
Not doctrine debates. Not speculation. Just the patterns many of us lived through and felt but couldn’t name at the time.
We break down how control shows up in everyday moments—through gaslighting, triangulation, labeling, and shunning—and why, once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
If you’ve ever walked away from a meeting feeling confused, smaller, or guilty without knowing why, this conversation may finally put words to that experience.
