In this crossover episode of DiffiCULT Childhood and    / @anthonymorrisreturns  , we tackle a deeply unsettling issue within the Jehovah’s Witness organization: the deletion of elders who dare to send their kids to college. We’re diving headfirst into a Watchtower training video that instructs Circuit Overseers on how to maintain a tight grip on elders, ensuring they toe the line when it comes to higher education and their everyday life.

The circuit overseer in the video uses psychologically damaging control tactics and created a toxic environment, showing that even elders can be victimized by the Governing Body as they control every JW in this authoritarian high control cult.

We’ll break down the manipulative tactics and language used in the video, exposing how fear and punishment are wielded to control and suppress independent thinking. By sharing real-life stories and exploring hypothetical scenarios, we’ll highlight the personal and familial turmoil caused by these draconian policies.

Join us for a critical analysis of the Watchtower's anti-education stance, comparing it to other high-control groups, and discussing the broader implications for those entangled in this web of control. Whether you’re an ex-JW, a current member, or someone curious about the inner workings of high-control religious groups, this episode sheds light on the hidden struggles and harsh realities faced by Jehovah’s Witnesses.
