Jak wygląda ŻYCIE KOBIETY u Świadków Jehowy? Posłuszeństwo, przemoc i kontrola | Sara Kozub

🎙️ Welcome to another episode of the "Interrogation Room" podcast—a space for conversations about business, technology, law, and digital security. 💣 Previous episode — Marcin Miller "BOYS" o hipokryzji, mediach... 🟣 Our website — https://adwokat-grube.pl/ 📷 Instagram: Instagram: bartosz_grube A child reads the stories of their peers who refused blood transfusions, and their deaths are presented as proof of fidelity. A woman is expected to obey her husband, even when this model leads to violence and a complete loss of agency. How do Jehovah's Witness beliefs influence decisions about health, family, and the entire future? My guest is Sara Kozub – a former Jehovah's Witness, psychology student, and co-creator of the Światusy channel. Together with her husband, Edwin, she supports people leaving high-control groups, publicizes their stories, and helps them navigate life outside the organization. ➡️ Check out the Światusy channel: @swiatusy One of the most compelling topics of the conversation is the ban on blood transfusions. Sara recalls the publication of the magazine "Awake!" featuring stories of young people who refused blood. As a child, she read these stories many times, wept over the fate of their protagonists, and learned to see their deaths as proof of faithfulness. A large portion of the episode concerns the position of women in the patriarchal structure of the organization. The husband is supposed to be the "head of the family" and make the final decisions, while the wife is expected to be obedient. Sara talks about growing up without a sense of full agency, moving from the symbolic care of her father to the authority of her husband, and the rules that influence education, work, clothing, and daily choices. We also ask what support a woman experiencing physical, psychological, or economic abuse can expect. Sara recalls stories of interviewees who, instead of real support, were told they should submit to their husbands or that they chose their partners. We wonder whether these are only extreme cases or the result of a system that allows problems to be concealed in the name of protecting the organization's image. The conversation also touches on committees of older and younger women, questioned by three men about their most intimate details. We also examine the "two-witness" rule and its consequences in cases of abuse when the abused person has no second witness and other evidence may not be accepted in internal proceedings. Sara also revisits her own childhood, thoughts written in a diary at the age of 13, depression, and fear of Armageddon. She talks about nightmares, fear of the storm, and the belief that the end of the world will come before she can truly begin her adult life. We discuss how the constant anticipation of Armageddon affects future planning, education, and the willingness to make long-term decisions. Her departure began with Edwin's crisis of faith and a piece describing the characteristics of destructive groups, which did not mention Jehovah's Witnesses by name. However, Sara recognized the control of information, isolation from former members, and subordination to leaders. Overnight, her previous worldview shattered, but regaining a sense of security and independence took much longer. This is a conversation about the price of obedience, the fear of rejection, and regaining the right to make independent decisions. It's about therapy, building new relationships, and learning to live outside the environment that previously defined almost every aspect of it. 📲 Subscribe to the channel so you don't miss further conversations about law, forensics, and security.
