What Woke Me UP! | From Jehovah's Witness Pioneer to Public Speaker

Описание: Have you ever been in a high control religion where it feels like you are doing everything right but still feel hopeless, inadequate and depressed? You have obtained everything that you have been told is "good" or "sought after" as far as your situation but it still feels like something is off and you feel empty.

Well you are not alone!

In this conversation, Adam and Aubrey Cruz discuss her experiences as a former Jehovah's Witness, exploring the beliefs, structures, and psychological impacts of being in a cult.

Aubrey shares her journey of awakening during the pandemic, the challenges of leaving the organization, and the importance of personal development and community support in healing. They also touch on the themes of gender roles, abuse, and the control mechanisms used by cults to maintain power over their members.
