Episode 130 - Sincerity Is NOT Enough - Jose is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses are a performance based cult that are all about "what have you done for me lately". Your actions are everything to them. Sadly it is the same with relationships when it comes to JWs, you either do what they want you to do or you cease to exist to them. You, by yourself, are not enough. You must be who and what they want you to be. Jose was a super sincere person that just wanted to love and be loved, but sadly that can't happen because those around him have other expectations of who he would have to be in order to be worthy of their affection. The song that Jose chose to represent his journey is Jumping Someone Else's Train by The Cure.
