Anusha Bradley, a renowned investigative journalist at Radio New Zealand, discusses her in-depth reporting on Jehovah’s Witness shunning—a practice that has caused widespread emotional abuse among those who leave the faith or are disfellowshipped, officially kicked out. Anusha Bradley will also be leading a panel at the upcoming Decult Cult Awareness Conference, where she will engage with former Jehovah’s Witnesses, including myself, to explore this harsh form of religious abuse that has affected countless lives globally.
This conversation covers Anusha’s deep involvement in the New Zealand investigation into abuse in care within the Jehovah’s Witnesses, a groundbreaking case the organization attempted to stop it with a lawsuit. Their resistance to scrutiny has only intensified the importance of this investigation, which could soon reveal critical findings about the abuse in care within this high-control religious group.
We explore the emotional toll that Jehovah’s Witness shunning takes on individuals and families, and why this practice should be seen as a violation of human rights and religion. Anusha also talks about the importance of investigative journalism in holding powerful organizations accountable for their actions, and how the Jehovah's Witnesses lawsuit has highlighted the need for further scrutiny.
This interview is part of the Decult Cult Awareness Conference takeover, introducing viewers to the leading voices and experts in cult awareness and cult recovery. Anusha Bradley’s panel will provide unique insights into the practices and beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses and other high-control groups, including the government investigation’s expected revelations.
