Heretic and Sinner is a channel dedicated to the outreach of Bible studies, textual criticism, and religion, approached through the lenses of anthropology and critical thinking. I am Juan Carlos RodrĂ­guez, a former elder (ex-pastor) of Jehovah's Witnesses.

On this channel, I translate scholarly research into clear and accessible content through short videos (8 to 12 minutes): without being dull, yet always maintaining academic rigor. This is a space designed for atheists, believers, and the curious who seek to delve deeper into history and sacred texts without prejudice.

🔥 What if Christianity needed a lie to survive?

The first video from Heretic & Sinner is here.

Today I take a scalpel to Pontius Pilate—not the one from the movies, but the one revealed by historical sources. And what emerges… changes everything.

👉 This isn’t just history. It’s about how Christianity was shaped.

If you’re into the Bible and history—with academic rigor, but without the boredom—this video is for you. Press play ▶️

Friends, I’d like to share with you the revealing results of our survey.

We closed with 108 participants.
In the next video, we’ll analyze these surprising results. See you soon!

🤯Have you ever wondered why the biblical characters in the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ productions look more like they came out of a European movie rather than the Middle East of the first century? 🤔

In this first episode, I analyze how the organization portrays Jesus and the Jews of his time, and contrast it with what we actually know from history. The inevitable question is: Is it simple historical ignorance… or a deliberate whitewashing?

👉 Don’t miss it. Join me on this journey with common sense, irony, and evidence that few dare to point out.

🤔 Why doesn’t the Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses want you trusting mental health experts?
In this video, I expose—straight from their own publications—how they push members away from professional help. You won’t believe it until you see it.
