Why are so many Jehovah’s Witnesses leaving the organization in the United States in 2025?
In this investigative documentary, we explore the real reasons behind the growing number of departures from the Jehovah’s Witnesses. From strict control over personal lives, to frequent doctrinal changes, and a culture of silence around difficult internal issues—this video uncovers the human stories behind the numbers.
We dive into:
What former members are saying about the pressure to conform
Why “new light” teachings are pushing people away
The emotional impact of family separation and disfellowshipping
Real data showing one of the lowest retention rates among U.S. religions
Whether you’re inside, on your way out, or just curious, this is the side of the story the Watchtower doesn’t want you to hear.
