Let's dive into the unexplainable... including how his ambivalence influences 'free will.' DeLorean not included.

Customer Reviews
Well done
I left the religion about 16 years ago and never looked back. In fact never even thought about the residual I carried with me all these years until recently. It’s very helpful to hear your commentary.
Thank you
For creating this podcast. My mother joined this cult several years ago. I am so hurt by her choice and I have been devouring this podcast in an effort to understand why this loving woman has joined a manipulative, abusive, misogynistic doomsday cult.
Perhaps the best JW deep dive
I am also a JW child of the 70’s and 80’s. Stacy dissects the beliefs of JW’s in a humorous and completely accurate way. The Watchtower definitely wants you to forget this stuff or never learn about and they SURE don’t want you to think critically about their teachings. Put on your thinking cap and get ready to smile and heal.
