Ep. 67 - Kingdom Hall Kids Refuse to Transfuse w/ Comedian Doug Smith

from Growing Up Christian · host Casey Greseth

Our guest this week is comedian and former Jehovah's Witness, Doug Smith! He has appeared on CONAN, The Late Late Show with James Corden, Kevin Hart’s LOL Network, and This Is Not Happening on Comedy Central. Doug's family became Jehovah's Witnesses after his mom was converted by those pesky door-to-door missionaries. As you might imagine, there are all sorts of fun little things that come with being a JW kid - things like being the only kid in class that sits during the Pledge of Allegiance, having to leave the room during just about any sort of celebration, and of course, carrying around a card that forbids anyone from administering certain types of life-saving medical care. Doug is a very funny guy with a life story that, at times, might shock even some of you hardcore Pentecostal kids. I mean, the guy got stabbed in the face while fighting off a rapist (yeah, you read that right)!

XOXO, Fern Girlz Explicit Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe.
