In this episode of the DisAllusioned Podcast, host Ari Sherwood speaks with filmmaker Scott Homan, cofounder of Banana Island Films and director of Witness Underground, about his experiences as a Jehovah's Witnesses and the impact of shunning and emotional abuse. They discuss the importance of critical thinking, the dynamics of cults, and the role of public speaking in these environments. They touch on the rise of cults in the digital age, personal experiences with relationships, and the systemic issues in maintaining an ethical society. They explore the deconstruction of beliefs, the nature of morality beyond religion, and the fear and control present in religious narratives. This conversation further delves into the complex themes surrounding religion, cult dynamics, and the role of psychedelics and shamanism in personal and societal contexts.
