Over Apostate: JW

My name is Andrew and I am an ex-Jehovah's Witness. The term apostate for Jehovah's Witnesses is always such a derogatory term. Many are so afraid to even look at someone who has been identified as one. Those who have successfully left the "congregation" see it as something we are proud of. To be able to think with a clear mind and have the veil of the Watchtower removed. Join me as I discover the truth about the Jehovah's Witnesses and share that with those who really need it. We would also love to hear the stories of your experiences with getting out and the aftermath.

Blood Doctrine and Medical Control: When Faith Costs Lives

In this episode of Apostate: JW, we uncover one of the most sobering aspects of Jehovah’s Witness life — the blood doctrine and the Governing Body’s wider medical control. From refusing transfusions to banning organ transplants, from stigmatizing mental health to flip-flopping on vaccines, the Watchtower has repeatedly put obedience above survival. Along the way, countless lives have been lost,families have been fractured, and tragedies have been paraded as “victories of faith.” I’ll trace the history, share personal connections from my own family, expose the contradictions, and contrast these teachings with the mercy and life Jesus himself offered. This is not just about doctrine. It’s about control. And it’s about finding freedom beyond it. 🔗 Support the show on Patreon: patreon.com/FierroMediaWorks 📲 Follow me on socials: facebook.com/apostatejw Instagram: @fierromediaworks

When Prophecy Fails: A History of Jehovah’s Witness Predictions

After a short hiatus, Apostate: JW is back. And what better way to return than by exploring one of the most defining — and devastating — themes in Jehovah’s Witness history: failed prophecies. From Charles Taze Russell’s claims of Christ’s invisible return in 1874, to Rutherford’s bold promises about 1925, to the worldwide disappointment of 1975, the Watchtower has built its identity on declaring “the end is near” — only to move the goalposts again and again. Along the way, real people have paid the price: lost education, careers put on hold, families broken, retirements sacrificed, and futures stolen. In this episode, we trace over a century of failed predictions, explore how the Governing Body has redefined and excused each one, and ask what these patterns reveal about spiritual authority, truth, and hope. If you’ve ever wondered, “How could I have believed this?” or “Why didn’t I see it sooner?” — this episode is for you.
