Surviving Paradise

We can give you 144,000 reasons why overlapping generations aren't a thing. A weekly podcast where we laugh, cry and give insights into the world of Jehovah's Witnesses. Hosted by a former elder and includes guests that have beards, as well as beautiful women that finally have a voice... minus a head covering.

Hosted ByStacey Baumann

A look into life as a Jehovah’s Witness, as seen from the eyes of a former elder, raised in the ‘religion’ and growing up through their ever changing beliefs and culture from the 1970’s through the 2000’s. We laugh… we cry… but we stay informed and entertained.
