Ex-Jehovah’s Witness Meets with Elder Father After 2 Years of Shunning
Alissa Watson comes back to update us with some news of her father. She was a devout Jehovah’s Witness through adulthood, marriage and two children, despite a birthing scare that could’ve taken a dark turn if she ended up needing a blood transfusion. Her husband knew his wife was not allowed to receive blood due to the strict doctrine around it, but he was not willing to lose his wife over it. This sent him down a deeply researched deconstruction path which ended up leading them both out of the religion. However, one cannot simply leave the faith and maintain their life as they know it. Friends, family, church members and any devout JW is forced to implement strict shunning. Overnight, they lost everyone. Alissa shares how her father asked for a meeting (2 years after cutting her off) and how reality set in when she realizes his true intentions.  Click here to watch on YouTube Catch C2C on Alissa’s channel Watch Alisa’s initial interview Find Alissa on Social: YouTube: @athomewithalissa https://www.youtube.com/@athomewithalissa IG: @athome_withalissa  https://www.instagram.com/athome_withalissa TikTok: @athomewithalissa https://www.tiktok.com/@athomewithalissa Subscribe to our C2C "CLIPS" Channel!
