188 - An Autistic Bipolar ADHD ExJW Comedian Tells His Story - Shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses

Описание: Today we meet Mikey, aka Mikey J Havoc on the comedy stage, a stage that is very new for him in his life as he explores his past as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. In this episode we explore that past together, from the "divided household" that he grew up in, to growing up having to mask not only the fact that he didn't believe, but also masking his autism while in the Kingdom Hall. Despite his obstacles he was able to go to college and get a degree, and now he's added comedy. And if you grew up JW, you won't believe the reason that his dad eventually left the Witnesses behind.
