Cults, high-control groups, and destructive organizations thrive on a single, insidious truth: people are most susceptible to manipulation when they are hurting. The flickering flame of hope dims during periods of immense personal struggle, creating a prime opportunity for groups offering answers and a sense of belonging. And the manipulative recruitment tactics employed by Jehovah's Witnesses is a case study, highlighting how they mirror those used by other cults across the spectrum.

The issue that the majority of former cult members will agree on is that there is no easy way to exit from a cult. For some, it is not that difficult to leave. They are just less susceptible to mind control techniques. Some maintain that sense of self to make an informed decision to leave. There are
many ex-cultists who say they spent years working up the nerve to get out. It really does take a tremendous amount of courage to leave. This episode explores the different ways which members leave and the consequences that former members have to contend with.

As I recorded this episode, news broke that the Dutch police has raided the local branch of the Jehovah's Witnesses in the Netherlands. The raids were prompted by multiple reports of sexual abuse by both current and former victims. The raids included a few Kingdom Halls and private homes.
I also give an update of developments that are playing out in the Durban High Court here in South Africa where three Jehovah's Witness families have been taken to court to allow the doctors to administer blood transfusions to their children .

Remember that time Tony Morris went on his infamous rant about tight pants? Well, there is a long history of controlling what people wear and a history of discounting people’s cultural and traditional attire.

Today’s show is about a verdict that was handed down to two Jehovah’s Witness elders who failed to report child sex abuse. This reaches back to 2006 to a Spanish congregation in Illinois.
And in this case, the elders left the thinking to the organization. They left a moral obligation to be decided by somebody else. They left it to the Watch Tower. Ultimately, they pay the price for the undue influence exerted over them. In the end children suffer because it is better to protect the reputation of the organization than protecting the little children from abuse.

Religion and cults have very often been at the forefront of subjection and repression of women. Jehovah's Witnesses exerts a great deal of control over its members. Women in particular suffer from psychological stresses in high control groups where patriarchal attitudes limit their personal power and freedom. This episode looks at these issues which often lead to physical, sexual and emotional abuse.
