Real stories, told by real people.

Happy Holidays, we're back!!! Today, Scott joins us, and he's got a story to tell.

Imagine losing everything and everyone. Family, friends, and any support once had, gone. All because a difference in belief. Scott, lost his entire family, 17 members on his fathers side, ex-communicated him. Scott left the church 15 years ago, and hasn't had any contact with his family for 13 of those 15 years. In the world of Jehovah's Witness, it's called "shunning - "children being taken ... grand kids being cut off .... tragic family separations"

Leaving the church, and the want to remove himself from anything to do with the cult, he eventually moved to Vietnam. And that's where things get interesting - "I would of probably just lived with that traumatic thing inside, and never said anything about it, but something started happening living there." From trying to escape his story to becoming an activist.

Since 2016, he's been part of a project : The Witness Underground documentary, as well as The Witness Underground podcast. I'd like to welcome another GIANT AMONGST US. I enjoyed the conversation we had and Scott left a lot of good nuggets on the table, take what you will from it.

'Til next time

and very soon,

PEACE!!
