Ep#44 – Ex-Jehovah’s Witness Elder – Mike Bigelow

8 comments

I’m lucky to be joined by Mike Bigelow on The #GSPodcast this week. Mike is a former Jehovah’s Witness elder of 18 years. He talks about the difficulties growing up in a Jehovah’s Witness’ household, going door to door as a child, escaping the ideology and he’ll explain some of the dogmas surrounding things such as blood transfusions and birthdays. Mike also tells us the cost his enlightenment has had on his family dynamic. I also take a few minutes to share my experience of being an audience member in the recent broadcast of ‘The Big Questions’.

Ep#43 – Father Ordered To Take Kids To Church- Dr. Steve

4 comments

Many of you may have read about the father required to take his children to Catholic mass by a judge as part of a divorce settlement.  The very father himself, Anonymous Dr Steve (@ChurcAtGunpoint) joins me on The #GSPodcast this week.  He’ll be telling me all about how this came to be – and the hopes he has for getting some answers.  We also talk about his atheism, scepticism and how our approach to the problem of Islam differs slightly.  You can view and sign a petition on Change.org to help Steve’s cause.

Professor of sociology, Phil Zuckerman (@Phil_Zuckerman) joins me on The #GSPodcast to discuss his new book ‘Living The Secular Life: New Answers To Old Questions’.  We talk about the sociological underpinnings for faith, vegetarianism, The Constitution and why secular humanism is preferable to a religious world-view. Also, can kids have a good Christmas without Santa? And I ask the most controversial #GSPodcast question to date: Batman or Superman?

Jonny Scaramanga (@JonnyScaramanga) drops in on The #GSPodcast to tell us all about Accelerated Christian Education.  ACE is a fundamentalist Christian schooling system.  Jonny has lived through this system and now spends his time campaigning to raise awareness of the harm it causes.  We talk about the deeply troubling curriculum, which includes racism, sexism, corporal punishment and an insistence that The Loch Ness monster disproves evolution!  Please support Jonny and the fine work he is doing.
