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.

Japan's Crack Down - Jehovah's Witness Governing Body Struggling to Survive
When the former Prime Minister of Japan was assassinated in 2022, the investigation uncovered deep ties between the attacker and a high-control religious group known as the Moonies. That tragedy set off a chain reaction in Japan—one that now has the spotlight turning toward Jehovah’s Witnesses.
In this video, JT breaks down:
Why the Governing Body suddenly shifted on higher education
How Japan’s new laws are classifying forced religious acts as child abuse
The “second generation” issue and why it hits home for ex-JWs
The role of money, lawsuits, and government scrutiny in Watchtower’s recent changes
We’ll also unpack Watchtower’s so-called “independent study” in Japan—and why it may not be as independent as they claim.

As always, we encourage critical thinking, honest discussion, and remembering that you’re not alone if you’re rebuilding after leaving a high-control group.
