This episode sees Patricia, Louise, and Lloyd joined by the brilliant Ryan Bell, who transitioned from Seventh Day Adventist pastor to atheist and Founder of Life After God during last few years. They discuss the process of finding one's way in the world after making a break from the religion that defined them, and they compare and contrast some central JW and SDA beliefs, practices, and common origins. Afterwards, the hosts delve into some phenomenal listener voicemails. Finally, Lloyd provides an update on his endeavors with the UK Charity Commission, and Louise gives details on a new public pressure group starting in Canada.
Patricia, Lloyd, and Louise are joined by Brett Griffin-Young for a discussion about parenting: how it is approached by Jehovah's Witnesses, the way a JW upbringing affects people born into the religion, and the challenges and rewards of raising children as ex-Jehovah's Witnesses. Afterwards, in the newest Fun with Fallacies segment, the hosts examine the "argument from ignorance/God of the gaps" fallacy, including how to spot it in JW rhetoric and how to move past it toward a more productive debate. Finally, Louise updates us on her recent foray into peaceful activism on the local Kingdom Hall level, and Lloyd shares some news on a letter he submitted to the UK Charities Commission.
Patricia, Louise, and Lloyd are in a discussion of the findings released earlier this month for the Australian Royal Commission. We break down the Senior Counsel's conclusions and analyze the infuriating rebuttals by Watchtower's slick lawyers. We also talk about a bombshell news piece on Jehovah's Witnesses released in Portugal, and GB member David Splane's baffling attempt to discredit the reporter at the helm. Finally, we answer assorted questions from listeners.

Patricia, Lloyd, and Louise discuss the massive leaked document that came down from Bethel about a week ago. We debate the purpose of head coverings and try to determine why you can be censored for giving your pet a blood transfusion, but if you want to celebrate your birthday, the most you will get is some gentle Biblical counsel. We also listen to several voicemails and weigh in on each.
