This conversation dives into Brooke's story; from childhood trauma, unhealthy family dynamics, and the impact of living as a Jehovah's Witness. It explores the experience of shame, rejection, and the consequences of teenage rebellion. We also discuss disfellowshipping, elders' abuse, control, and the silent suffering and stigma associated with seeking help or leaving an abusive relationship within the Jehovah's Witness community.
