Paranoia isn’t just a passing fear—it’s a powerful tool used to control people. In this episode, we’re diving deep into how paranoia is woven into the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the lasting psychological impact it has on members.
Jehovah’s Witnesses are taught to fear the outside world, believe that Satan is lurking behind every corner, and view former members as dangerous. This constant state of fear isolates them from society and keeps them loyal to the organization. But here’s the good news—paranoia is learned, and it can be unlearned.
Join me, Lady Cee, as we break down:
🔹 What paranoia really is
🔹 How Jehovah’s Witness teachings foster a culture of fear
🔹 The emotional and psychological toll on members
🔹 Steps to break free from paranoia and reclaim your trust in the world
If you’ve ever struggled with fear and mistrust after leaving a high-control group, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about it in the comments and support each other in healing. 💬
