Religious and cult ideologies often use the practice of shunning to silence their critics and to control their members through fear. This podcast sheds light on this practice through real life stories as told by the people that have lived through it. Learn what their lives were like and where they have ended up in life after shunning. Featuring stories from Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Amish, Mennonite, FLDS, the Moonies, and more, you will learn about the real lives of former members that have been shunned.

Hey everybody. Back in July I drove across the country to participate in an episode featuring ExJWs and Ex-Scientologists for the channel @jubilee . It was a great experience and that episode dropped on Halloween. Instead of putting out a regular episode of a cult survivor on my channel this week, I'll just point everyone there this time. I'll drop another episode in a week and a half or so. So go support @jubilee this week and show them that we support the lived experiences of others that left the cult of Jehovah's Witnesses and learn about what Scientologists went through as well. Here's the video: https://youtu.be/592sOIePWpc?si=w6gLd...

If you'd like to see me featured on another channel, talking about cult recovery with another mental health professional who happens to be an Ex-Scientologist, you can find me having a great conversation with Chris Shelton of the Speaking Of Cults show here: https://youtu.be/LqN4lP1e7Ms?si=ZI5AW...

Hey everybody! I'm not sure who sees this as this feature is new to me, but if you're subscribed to the channel you may not be getting new episodes in your feed, or perhaps you're not getting notifications, because it looks like the views on the episodes are dropping. Perhaps it's an algorithm thing, who knows, but if you are subscribed and you want to see the latest episodes, you might want to turn on notifications or redo your settings because I have a feeling something has changed this year on this platform. Many creators across a variety of topics have reported the same. So I appreciate any likes or subscribes or watches as it seems we're pushing uphill right now against the algorithm. Thanks! - Mike

Hello all of you who subscribe to my channel. Apparently reaching 1,000 subscribers gives me the opportunity to say something to everyone on a message so I just want to thank you for watching and listening. 2019 was quite a journey for me and 2020 is off to a good start. I appreciate your support. I just released a new channel called exJW Help here on YouTube to go with my new site, exjwhelp.com, with lots of resources to help people that have left or want to leave the JWs and that need help moving forward. To celebrate that I'm releasing 10 new episodes of Shunned over the next two weeks. So thank you for your support and know that I'm working hard to help people that need it. I started all of this to help, and it is making a difference. Here's to a great start to a new year and new decade of building momentum and helping people break free from the chains of undue influence and indoctrination so that they can lead happy and authentic lives. - Mike
