✨ Sean Miller spent over 30 years inside the Jehovah's Witness organization before discovering the shocking truth that changed everything.
In this eye-opening conversation, Sean reveals:
✨ What it's really like growing up in an isolationist religious community
✨ The devastating impact of "disfellowshipping" and family shunning
✨ How he discovered disturbing information about child abuse cover-ups
✨ The moment his entire worldview shattered while doing laundry
✨ Why his own father compared him to a child who committed suicide
✨ Essential tips for dealing with JWs at your door (from someone who knocked on thousands of doors)
From a naive 'child' at 24 to rock band rebel to apostate - this is a story of love, loss, and ultimate liberation.
Sean now helps others through art therapy and is developing a TV series about his experience. His website: SeanGregoryMiller.com
🚪 DEALING WITH JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AT YOUR DOOR:
Sean's insider advice from someone who spent 70 hours/month knocking on doors:
✨ Simply say "I'm not interested. Please put me on your do not call list"
✨ DON'T engage in conversation - they're trained to form emotional bonds quickly
✨ DON'T slam the door - it confirms their persecution complex
✨ They write down EVERYTHING about you after they leave (hair color, kids, interests)
✨ Being rude actually strengthens their faith, so just be polite but firm
