"How I navigated the crushing effects of waking up" A convo with TikTok ExJw Karin Bauer

Karin was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness from the age of 4 years old when her mom converted to the religion in 1985. After being disfellowshipped at 16 and reinstated at 17, Karin spent an additional 19 years as one of Jehovah’s witnesses until leaving in 2017.

In 2021, she decided to speak publicly on social media about her experiences growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness and the problematic doctrines of the organization. Her goal in doing so is to educate people about the realities and dangers of this high-control religion and to provide a safe space for others who have left to laugh, cry, and hopefully feel less alone in their journey to break free.
