Every week, for 103 years, Jehovah’s Witnesses have gathered for the Watchtower Study, a 20ish-paragraph article produced by the Governing Body—a process that might seem like a Bible discussion but is actually a repetitive indoctrination routine. Each paragraph is read out loud, followed by pre-scripted audience responses reinforcing the same themes over and over again. The result? A steady diet of obedience messaging, reminding members 10-12 times per study that they must follow the organization without question.
This episode breaks down the boring but effective methods used in these studies, why they feel mind-numbing, and how the constant repetition of simple ideas cements loyalty to the cult. If you’ve ever sat through a JW Watchtower Study and thought, "Why does this feel like brainwashing?"—you’re not alone.
