Meine Horror-Jahre bei den Zeugen Jehovas | Elena Belperio im Talk

Since birth, Elena Belpiero has known no life outside of the Jehovah's Witnesses – until she was expelled at 16 for having sex. But that didn't break her away from the Witnesses: After almost a year and a suicide attempt, she returned to the community. The break only occurred when she told an elder of the congregation that she had been abused as a child – and no consequences followed, instead the matter was placed "in Jehovah's hands." On Deep and Clear, she spoke about how she finally managed to break away from the community.
