Episode 142 - How Is This Fair? - Joel is shunned by Jehovah's Witnesses

While some religions speak about the concept of grace, the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses has another term for it… "undeserved kindness". This is the underpinning of what it is to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, to know that you don't deserve any chance at salvation as a good for nothing sinner, and to know that you don't even deserve the life that you have now. For Joel, he had something else going on internally that served as yet an extra obstacle to his existence in the cult, and he was left wondering how that could possibly be fair. Why would he have something above and beyond what others had to contend with to try to be good enough for a God that hated a part of who he was.
