In this episode of Cultish, Andrew is joined once again by former Jehovah’s Witness and current pastor Jason Cantino to examine the Watchtower Society’s history of end-times predictions and failed prophecies. From the movement’s roots in the aftermath of the Great Disappointment to the expectations surrounding 1914, 1925, and 1975, they trace how prophetic claims were made, how Jehovah’s Witnesses responded to them, and how those claims were later reinterpreted when the expected events failed to occur. Along the way, they compare these claims with the biblical tests for prophecy found in Deuteronomy and ask what standard should be used when an organization claims to speak on God’s behalf.

What happens when an organization claiming to represent God makes predictions that fail to come true?

Should our ultimate authority rest in a religious organization—or in the Word of God itself?

This conversation is about more than constructing a historical timeline or winning an argument with a Jehovah’s Witness. Andrew and Jason challenge listeners to examine the authority of the Governing Body, consider the real-life consequences these teachings can have, and ultimately turn their attention to Jesus Christ and the biblical gospel. Their stated goal is not to attack Jehovah’s Witnesses personally, but to encourage listeners to test what they have been taught against Scripture and place their faith in Christ rather than an organization.

In this special Cultish news report, we examine the major September 2026 change to the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ blood transfusion policy, which now treats receiving red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma as a matter of personal conscience while continuing to prohibit transfusions of whole blood. Jason joins us to trace the history of the Watch Tower Society’s blood doctrine from its 1945 prohibition through decades of revisions, including the distinction between major blood components and smaller fractions. We also revisit the haunting May 22, 1994 Awake! issue, “Youths Who Put God First,” which featured children who died after refusing blood transfusions and were presented by the organization as examples of faithfulness.

Finally, we ask what this latest change means for Jehovah’s Witnesses today and contrast the organization’s evolving policies with the Christian hope of forgiveness, eternal life, and the finished sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

What happens when a former cult member goes undercover inside another cult? In this episode of Cultish, Mitch from Cult Audit takes us inside his infiltration of Eastern Lightning, also known as the Church of Almighty God—a secretive movement that claims Jesus Christ has returned in the flesh as a Chinese woman.

How does Eastern Lightning recruit unsuspecting Christians through social media and online Bible studies? And what happens when you work your way deep enough into the organization to gain their trust?

Mitch shares how he moved through their training, became a host, attended their house churches, and eventually traveled to New York to visit their church and obtain internal materials. He also exposes their teachings about “Almighty God,” their rejection of the Bible as the final authority, and the intense emphasis they place on duties, obedience, and salvation through the words of their supposed female Christ.

Join us as we go inside one of the most secretive cult movements we’ve ever covered on Cultish.
