Shunning and Silence: The Dark Side of Jehovah's Witnesses?

On this episode of Shrouded Realities, we peel back the veil on a rarely discussed, yet deeply impactful, aspect of the Jehovah's Witness faith: the practices of shunning and institutionalized silence. For many, Jehovah's Witnesses are known for their door-to-door ministry and strong community, but what happens when a member strays from the doctrine or chooses to leave? We'll explore the heartbreaking personal testimonies of former members who have experienced the devastating emotional and social consequences of being "disfellowshipped" – cut off from family, friends, and their entire support system. Join us as we investigate the mechanisms behind this spiritual isolation and ask: Is this a matter of religious discipline, or a dark side that warrants closer scrutiny?
