Japan's Crack Down - Jehovah's Witness Governing Body Struggling to Survive
Manage episode 508459243 series 3317963
When the former Prime Minister of Japan was assassinated in 2022, the investigation uncovered deep ties between the attacker and a high-control religious group known as the Moonies. That tragedy set off a chain reaction in Japan—one that now has the spotlight turning toward Jehovah’s Witnesses.
In this video, JT breaks down:
Why the Governing Body suddenly shifted on higher education
How Japan’s new laws are classifying forced religious acts as child abuse
The “second generation” issue and why it hits home for ex-JWs
The role of money, lawsuits, and government scrutiny in Watchtower’s recent changes
We’ll also unpack Watchtower’s so-called “independent study” in Japan—and why it may not be as independent as they claim.
