Why I Faded from Jehovah’s Witnesses – as told by Stephen & Celine Mather

Interview with father/daughter podcast duo of What Should I Think About..? podcast. Listen to their podcast at: https://whatshouldithinkabout.podbean.com Website – https://www.evilsheep.co.uk/whatshouldithinkabout

Stephen Mather was a born-in Jehovah’s Witness that never truly believed all of their teachings. His childhood was spent thinking about Watchtower attainments: Ministerial Servant, Elder, Pioneer, Circuit Overseer, Missionary and Bethelite. However, once he and his wife had their daughter, Stephen realized that he cannot teach someone something that he does not fully believe himself. That was the start of his journey out of Watchtower.

BIOS: Celine Rachel Mather is a media graduate of Goldsmiths College, University of London who has been making short films for three years, initially as a writer and now finding a love in directing and producing. She is focused on breaking into the film industry as an independent young female creator. Celine is a partner at Evil Sheep Productions and the Producer and co-creator of Dissonance.

Stephen Mather is a Psychology graduate through the Open University with a Masters in Organizational Psychology through Birkbeck University of London. He works as a Learning & Development professional and improvement coach within business settings. Having left the high control group of his birth he has a particular interest in the psychological processes involved in high control, cultic groups and how leavers construct their identity upon exiting.

Love Bombed by Jehovah’s Witnesses

There are many people that come into contact with Jehovah’s Witnesses at the lowest point in their lives. David is no different. During the time he lost his mother, they were right there selling paradise. He learned all about the resurrection hope, welcoming dead loved ones, living on paradise earth, and all the fun he’d have playing with the tigers, lions, and bears and enjoying the prospects of living forever. The only catch? He had to join their religion.

He was quickly love-bombed by the Witnesses at his mother’s funeral and David fell for their fake love – hook-line-and-sinker like so many unsuspecting individuals. At the time David came into contact with the Witnesses, he was still young and impressionable. He was still trying to figure things out, not really sure about what he wanted to do with his life. He was taking classes at the community college and working at the local convenient store. However, after getting further involved with the group, he was discouraged from pursuing higher education. He quickly got with their program and began following their rules.

He had no idea that this religion was not just same mainstream organization that attended meetings on Sunday. Nope, it was much more than that. for the next 20+ years, David found himself on a mental marry-go-ground jumping through all of the Watchtower’s hoops.

The Top 3 Ways Jehovah’s Witnesses Become the Governing Body’s Science Project

Pavlov’s Dogs – Classical Conditioning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd7Jd…

Pavlov started out studying dog digestion and discovered classical conditioning. He didn’t initially set out to condition the dog to respond to the bell ringing to believe he will be fed. Classical conditioning is a mental manipulation to reprogram natural body functions. It is a way of learning where a stimulus that triggers a biological response is paired with a new stimulus that then results in the same reaction.

Carrie Bee, My Jehovah’s Witness Shunning Experience

In this episode, our guest Carrie Bee, the author of Paradise Bound https://www.amazon.com/Paradise-Bound-Carrie-Bee/dp/1628387254), shares her experience on the effects of shunning for the better part of her life by her parents. Despite being their only child, they are more devoted enforcing Watchtower policies than having a relationship with their daughter. They have also chosen not to have a relationship with their grandchildren.

Our other featured guest, Paul, presents information from Questions From Readers (QFR) found in the November 15, 1952 Watchtower.

QUESTION: In the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshipped, how should such a person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship – P.C. Ontario, Canada.

In this QFR, the Watchtower discusses how to treat certain individuals within the community and based on their role in your life will depend how you treat them. For instance, it discusses the relationship between the spouse that leaves the organization vs the one that decides to stay. But, those that have grown children will need to focus on a much different outcome.

We also feature a clip from the SUPREME COURT OF CANADA where the Watchtower lawyer, David Gnam, explains to the court the difference between “disfellowshipping” and “shunning”.

The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses Plays Mind Games with Children

In this episode, we will discuss the issues with how Jehovah’s Witnesses indoctrinate their children to believe that the Watchtower teachings are from Jehovah and they are the only true religion. Despite many children choosing not to get baptized, their lives are extremely impacted by their upbringing. Unfortunately, we never get to hear the experiences of children that were raised in this religion. In this episode you will meet some individuals that will share their experience in what it was like growing up as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and how difficult it was fitting in despite not joining the group. More importantly, how their involvement in the group affected them well into their adult lives.

Jehovah’s Witness Elders are Cautioned to Keep Their Mouth Shut!

Announcement
September 27, 2021

FOR ELDERS

  1. COVID-19 Vaccinations and Respect for Superior Authorities: Out of concern and
    love, we are sharing the following important information. (1 Cor. 12:25) As a result of the
    ongoing pandemic, secular authorities in an increasing number of lands are mandating or
    strongly encouraging that their citizens be vaccinated for COVID-19. The recent Governing
    Body updates have helped Jehovah’s people understand the thinking of the faithful slave on
    this matter.
  2. Branch offices have reported that some elders have voiced strong personal opinions
    against COVID-19 vaccination. Why is this of concern? Romans 13:1 says that “the existing
    authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God.” Also, the study note on Romans
    13:5 says: “A Christian submits to human governments when a command does not contradict God’s laws.” Romans 13:2 states: “Whoever opposes the [secular] authority has taken a stand against the arrangement of God.” Thus, elders should be careful not to voice personal opinions that contradict direction from the superior authorities. If an elder has been doing so, now is the time to stop. (Matt. 22:21; Rom. 13:4-7) Otherwise, he could become guilty of causing divisions in the congregation.
  1. At Romans 16:17, elders are admonished: “Keep your eye on those who create divisions
    and causes for stumbling contrary to the teaching that you have learned, and avoid them.”
    Thus, elders have a Scriptural responsibility to counsel any, including fellow elders, who cause divisions in the congregation. (Gal. 6:1) Circuit overseers will closely monitor the situation. We commend you brothers for “holding firmly” to God’s Word, promoting unity in the congregation, and taking the lead in showing “honor” to the secular authorities. (Titus 1:9; 1 Pet. 2:13-17) We thank you for your cooperation in this matter, and we take this opportunity to send our warm Christian love.

FOR COORDINATORS OF THE BODIES OF ELDERS
Announcement for Elders: Please arrange for the body of elders to meet this week to
discuss the announcement for elders along with the cited scriptures.
