Shalom all! I interviewed Cliff Henderson V, who was a Jehovah’s Witness, born into The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Cliff was baptized at the tender age of nine. Cliff was climbing up the hierarchy of The Watchtower, becoming a regular pioneer, ministerial servant, and Bethelite.

How did you become a Jehovah’s Witness? Were you born into the Watchtower Society, or did a Jehovah’s Witness knock at your door?

So I was born into the Watchtower Society. My parents, when I was born they were already baptized Jehovah’s Witnesses. My Dad got baptized when he was seventeen, my Mom got baptized when she seven. I’m the fourth of five children, so by the time I was born, my three older sisters and everybody had already been raised into the religion.

Would you say the Watchtower Society made you a better person spiritually and mentally?

I would say no, because The Watchtower Society only allowed me to see things through a certain lens. A lens that had been predetermined by the leaders of the religion.
