Ex-Jehovah's Witnesses-Critical Thinkers » Critical Thought Podcast
The Critical Thought encourages you to think critically about the teachings of Jehovah's Witnesses. As former members and teachers in this group, we have inside knowledge to help raise public awareness. We understand the psychological tactics the organization uses to attract new members.
Our goal isn't to attack the religion, but to share what we've learned about how the group operates. We want to expose the false teachings they use to control their followers. Many members carry a heavy burden of shame, fear, and guilt, struggling to keep up with the group's expectations. Some want to leave but stay out of fear of losing family and friends, pretending to be committed when they're not.
Through our platform, we hope to help anyone feeling trapped by the group's impossible standards or prevent others from joining. We aim to support educators, mend broken family relationships, and motivate people to pursue their education. If we can help even one person, we consider that a success.

❓ 8 Questions to Ask Any Jehovah’s Witness:
1) If Jesus isn’t your mediator… who is?
2) Why do you pray in his name?
3) How are your sins forgiven if his sacrifice doesn’t apply to you?
4) Why does the Bible say he intercedes for all who come to God through him?
5) Are you in the new covenant — or just observing it from the outside?
6) Why does the Insight book define a mediator as a go-between, yet deny you that access?
7) How did you miss this doctrine if you’ve studied the Bible for years?
8) What else haven’t they told you?
