About this Show
Surviving the Jehovah's Witnesses
Known for their door-to-door proselytizing and strict rules around celebrations and medical treatment, the Jehovah's Witnesses are an international Christian denomination that preaches a message of renewed hope in the afterlife. But behind their friendly and idyllic image are lesser-known aspects of the faith that have remained hidden for decades. In this three-part docuseries from Spain, former members speak out about their experiences, including abuse, homophobia, and sexism -- as well as the events that led to them being shunned by the community. Alongside the testimony of a devout elder, Surviving the Jehovah's Witnesses is an in-depth look at the lives of those impacted by the group, and what the future holds for those who have left.
