Leaving the Fold with RC Curtwright
We are joined today by RC Curtright, or, you might know him from social media as @deconstructing_exjw. RC was on the podcast in season one talking about the impact of purity culture for individuals who grew up male inside that system. But today he is here to talk about his own experiences of growing up in the Jehovah’s Witness organization, his deconstruction and his journey of healing.
Books that RC mentioned:
Healing CPTSD by Pete Walker
When Religion Hurts You by Dr. Laura Anderson
Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach
