"I Was Disfellowshipped for Years Before Seeing It Was a Cult" | Zaiga's Story

Today I had the privilege of sitting down with Zaiga as she courageously shares her personal journey.She opens up about how she found the Jehovah's Witnesses in Latvia as a teenager and while her life as one wasn't long, she had years of dealing with the impact those teachings had on her. Despite being disfellowshipped for over 10 years, it took an ex-elder meeting up with her to help her see this was a cult! Now she is sharing her story to hopefully help others who may be in the place she was, before she saw the organization for what it really is.
