Stacey is dripping in sarcasm and comical spite. The hurt shows but he is doing his thing. Think about it. This man is brave as all hell.
This user left a one star review and called the author of this podcast an “apostate” which is language only JWs really ever use in real life and then also proceeds to try to claim they are most definitely not a bitter JW.

A sharp-witted critique of Jehovah's Witnesses' leadership, doctrine, and culture told through the lens of a former elder raised within the religion. Episodes systematically dissect Governing Body messaging, historical changes, and real-world consequences for adherents, mixing personal history with archival JW literature and external research. The show pairs satire with candid reflection to expose inconsistencies, doctrinal shifts, and the human impact of organizational rules, all while offering humor, resilience, and practical guidance for listeners navigating faith-based trauma or curiosity about JW culture.
