I’ll be doing an interview about Blood Witness on Podioracket this Thursday, June 9, from 9:00 – 10:30 PM (EST). If you’ve got any questions about the novel, Jehovah’s Witnesses, or cults in general, please join us. Call (347) 996-3319 and join the conversation. You’ll be able to listen to it and join a live chat on this page.

If you have questions but won’t be available for the show, send them to me (hittman@davehitt.com) and we’ll try to answer them.

If you haven’t listened to the novel, but intend to, please note that this is likely to be full of spoilers.

This is something that ex-Jehovah’s Witnesses will find funny, but leave everyone else scratching their heads and saying “Huh?”

Jehovah’s Witnesses teach that oral and anal sex, even between married people, is wrong, because gay people do it.  (Gay people also kiss and hold hands, but somehow that doesn’t count.)  This is one of their many doctrines that have changed back and forth over the years.  Sometimes it’s a disfellowshiping offense, sometimes it’s not.  I’m not sure of their current stance on it, but whatever it is, you can be sure it will change in the future.  (JWs scorn other churches that make changes in doctrine, but changes in their doctrine are “new truths” to be celebrated and embraced.)

Since JWs are programmed to self-censor anything from outside their organization, I’ve created this piece for them.  It  consists entirely of watchtower quotes, read verbatim, over sexy music.

The text came from this page.   The music is “Perfume” by the group “Adult Only.”  You can find the real thing here.

If Blood Witness isn’t enough for you, if you crave more great novels in podiobook form, the best place to find them is PodioBooks.com. They’ve got 300 novels in every genre imaginable, free for the downloading. You can grab everything all at once, or you can have a custom feed made just for you. Custom feeds let you control both the titles and the scheduling. You’ll get the books you want when you want them. And it is, of course, free.

Blood Witness is now available at PodioBooks. The episodes are identical to the episodes in the RSS and iTunes feed; the only difference is that the closing comments have been removed from the PodioBooks feed.

You want more horror? Perhaps you’d like to mix up your listening with some mystery. Of course you can’t go wrong with Science Fiction. How about some Fantasy? Or maybe some Non-fiction? They’ve got it all. And their quality control is very picky, so you can be sure whatever you try will sound great. When you’re done with this week’s episode of Blood Witness and crave more, head over to Podiobooks.com.

I just did an interview about Blood Witness on the Not About Religion web site. It contains some very mild spoilers – nothing you haven’t already guessed. Check it out.
