Review of Jehovah's Witness

This radio journal expressed a very moving and intimate reflection of a subgroup of youths today. The author paces her piece in a way that draws the listener deeply into her world. I found her view of the lack of expressive love shown towards her by her mother a sad example of the interwoven structure of organized religion. As a writer her piece was straight ward and direct without allowing the listener to drift off. As a journalist, her use of her mother’s reading of a pray (in her native Spanish) unmasked the ‘otherness’ that is often associated with unfamiliar religious groups than our own. In fact this piece is no less radio journal than a testament to the social ramifications of religious blindness that permeates throughout the world. Great piece of social radio.
