Inside Michael Jackson's Secret Struggle With Jehovah's Witnesses

From door-to-door preaching in disguise to the Thriller controversy, this is a powerful story of belief, pressure, and breaking free.

Prince, Pain, and the Jehovah's Witness Blood Doctrine: What you don't know

Prince was more than a music icon. He was also a Jehovah’s Witness, and that part of his life shaped his choices in ways many fans never realised. In this video, we look at Prince’s conversion, his relationship with Larry Graham, his door-to-door ministry, the conflict between his faith and his artistry, and the ongoing questions surrounding the blood doctrine and his health. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Book, The Cult of Ignorance, available here: https://a.co/d/gIetrpz If you would like to support the work I do and see this channel grow, please consider supporting me on Patreon.

Ex-Jehovah’s Witness MP Shakes Parliament: Calls Out Abuse Cover-ups

When a child inside a Jehovah's Witness congregation reports sexual abuse, the organisation will not act unless there is a second witness to what happened. There is never a second witness to child sexual abuse. Sam Carling knows this rule personally. He grew up inside the organisation in County Durham. He was raised as a Jehovah's Witness. He won a seat in Parliament at 22 years old by 39 votes after a recount, becoming the youngest MP elected at the 2024 general election and the first British parliamentarian born in the 21st century. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Book, The Cult of Ignorance, available here: https://a.co/d/gIetrpz If you would like to support the work I do and see this channel grow, please consider supporting me on Patreon.

Terrence Howard: Why He Never Became a Jehovah's Witness

Terrence Howard spent 25 years studying with Jehovah's Witnesses. His first wife was a Witness. His children were raised as Witnesses. He stopped celebrating birthdays. He stopped celebrating Christmas. He told NPR in 2007 that what struck him most about the organisation was what he called the discipline of truth — and that in his heart, he wanted to be one of them. He never got baptised. In a recent appearance on the PBD Podcast with Patrick Bet-David, Howard explained why — in more detail than he ever has before.

New JW Blood Rule Changes Nothing For This Dying Boy

On March 20th, 2026, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses announced that storing and reinfusing your own blood before surgery is no longer prohibited. Governing Body member Gerrit Lösch called it a personal decision. Meanwhile, in South Africa, a teenage boy is still waiting for a liver transplant his doctors say he needs to survive. His family are Jehovah's Witnesses. The blood transfusion the surgery requires comes from a donor. And donor blood is still absolutely prohibited — unchanged by anything the Governing Body announced this month. He has been waiting for months.

Jehovah's Witnesses Reverse Blood Policy — What They're Not Telling You

March 20th, 2026 — the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses made it official.
