Comedian Doug Smith, a former Jehovah’s Witness, searches for the silver linings in growing up inside of a doomsday cult through conversations with other artists that had challenging experiences of their own.

On the first episode of Jehovah Boy, Doug shares his origin story as a former Jehovah’s Witness and compares notes on a strict religious upbringing with comedian and former Orthodox Jew, Ari Shaffir. They reflect on how rituals and discipline shaped them while discussing Jesus getting sunburned, ridiculous songs of worship, and how to survive the rapture. | Ari | Instagram &amp; YouTube: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/arishaffir/'>@arishaffir</a><a href='https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCcuaiqwR4AgnM0eWQv8gfeg'> </a> Website: <a href='http://www.arishaffir.com'>www.arishaffir.com</a> | Doug | Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok &amp; YouTube: <a href='https://www.instagram.com/whodougsmith/'>@whodougsmith</a> Website: <a href='https://www.dougsmithcomedy.com/'>www.dougsmithcomedy.com</a> Email the show: jehovahboypodcast@gmail.com Produced by <a href='https://www.instagram.com/doctorphotograph/'>@doctorphotograph</a>
