Endlich spricht mein Mann: Warum er die Zeugen Jehovas verließ

For the first time, my husband Bogdan tells his story: how he came to Jehovah’s Witnesses as a child, why baptism at the age of 13 was not a free decision for him, when the first doubts began — and what disfellowshipping, shunning, and the loss of his faith did to him. 💬 Do you still have questions for Bogdan for part 2? I’m looking forward to your comments. Bogdan’s channel: @bogdandilaj ✨ Need to talk?
