Part 2: How Jehovah’s Witnesses Make Addiction WORSE |

This is part TWO of an life changing story with Deanna from the @JustDeannaJune channel to discuss addiction, recovery, and the harmful ways the Jehovah’s Witness Governing Body orders local “elders” to deal with members struggling with addiction.

Deanna shares her deeply personal story as a recovering alcoholic, highlighting how the organization shames and neglects addicts, viewing addiction as a "sin" or spiritual weakness, rather than a medical condition.

Don't miss this eye-opening discussion that challenges the harmful doctrines of Jehovah’s Witnesses and offers hope and practical steps for anyone dealing with addiction.
