"I was removed as a servant for singing on the X Factor" - A conversation with Luke Stevenson

I get the rare opportunity to reconnect with someone who knew me as a Jehovah's Witness when Luke Stevenson agrees to be interviewed about a tumultuous JW journey that culminated in his parents shunning him.

Though I am deeply touched by the considerable interest in my work, I kindly ask that viewers do NOT try to contact me using Facebook. I very rarely use Facebook as a means of communicating with people and I have unfortunately received hostility from people whose Facebook messages have gone unanswered. If you send a voicemail or JWsurvey email, and your request is urgent, either myself or one of the team of JWsurvey volunteers will attempt to respond. Otherwise, please understand that my time is stretched between my work as an activist and my private life, including my responsibilities as a father and husband. As much as I would like to make myself available to each and every person who reaches out to me, this will only occasionally be possible. I appreciate your understanding.
