Welcome to Cult Life, the podcast where we pull back the curtain on cults and have honest, unfiltered conversations about what life inside really looks like, and what it takes to rebuild once you've left.
I'm Robin Jackson, a former Jehovah's Witness, author, and critical analyst who has spent years studying the organisation from the inside out. My books, Losing The Faith and Cults: How They Work, explore how high-control religious groups use doctrine, fear, and community to keep members compliant and unquestioning. Now I'm bringing those conversations to audio, so you can listen wherever you are, whether you're on a walk, processing everything you've been through, or just starting to ask the questions you were never supposed to ask.
Subscribe so you never miss one, and if something we discuss resonates with you, reach out. Your story matters, and you are not alone.

Jehovah’s Witnesses published an article titled “The Breakdown of Law and Order: What Does the Bible Say?” using the recent riots in France as proof that we’re living in the last days. But what did Macron actually say in his address to the nation, and what was left out?

I sat down with Jachin, a former Jehovah's Witness elder who spent almost 50 years inside the organisation. We talk about his life inside, what it was like to serve as an elder, the doubts that led him out, what leaving cost him, and how he is rebuilding.

“WOMAN, SHUT UP!” The Ugly Side of Jehovah's Witnesses

“Woman, shut up!” Those were the words directed at a woman during a Threads discussion involving Jehovah’s Witnesses. But is this just one man's misogyny, or does it reflect a deeper problem within the Watch Tower organisation?
