It's just really disgusting and you just wish that it would stop because they don't and you feel so weak and scared you feel like there's nothing you can do about it.

You think it can't be that bad because they're an adult and you trust them.

Hello and welcome to the On the Edge with Andrew Gold podcast. I'm your host Andrew Gold.

That was a very professional sounding set up for a

podcast wasn't it? I said the name of the thing it had my name in it and then I said

my name again to say that I was the host of the thing. Welcome to another show. Today I've got Lacey Jones on the

podcast. I've been meaning to get her on for quite some time. She's been away and

she's back and she's brilliant and I've been talking back and forward with her for a long

time.

She's a former Jehovah's Witness with a fascinating story to tell,

a lot of anger, rightfully so, about the Jehovah's Witness Church.

She is a defector herself. Her mother remains in the church. But some of the things

that happened to her when she was a 12 year old girl should never happen to anyone ever.

They are awful and she is extremely courageous and open and eloquent in discussing

exactly what did happen. We're going to talk first about the Jehovah's Witness Church

to give people a reminder of what it's all about as well as to those who are

ex JW's or J- dubs as one calls them sometimes I think they like to sometimes you

know have this said and to hear it said about who and what they are

Whether they're a cult or a religion and then we get on to what happened when a man called Cliff

Entered the life of Lacey Jones because things really got ugly very fast and

she is brilliant for talking about it and I think it's going to help a lot of people listening

to her story.
