Many Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t realize that their fear isn’t natural—it’s taught. From childhood, the Watchtower conditions you to believe that leaving means losing God’s protection, your family, and even your life. But what if that fear was never real to begin with?
In this explosive episode of EXJW Critical Thinker, JT & Lady Cee break down how the Governing Body manipulates emotions, weaponizes isolation, and uses fear to maintain control.
🎯 Inside this episode, we expose:
✔️ Why Jehovah’s Witnesses fear disfellowshipping, higher education, and even birthdays
✔️ How the Governing Body controls millions without ever meeting them
✔️ Exclusive EXJW testimonies—real stories from those who broke free
✔️ The psychological trap that keeps JWs from questioning their beliefs
✔️ How to deprogram and finally break free from the Watchtower’s fear tactics
👉 JT asks the question: Why are you living in fear of the Governing Body? Let’s talk about it. Drop a comment and share your experience!
