Peaceful Secular ExJW Protest - Auckland NZ
This important event took place in Auckland, New Zealand (11 January 2026), featuring Doomsday Comedian Jonas Skogstroll.
The peaceful secular protest coincided with Jehovah's Witness conventions, advocating for children's rights and raising awareness about religious fundamentalism.
View Facebook EventWhat is Doomsday Comedy?
Doomsday Comedyis a unique stand-up comedy show featuring comedians who grew up in religious fundamentalist communities — and now use humor to process their experiences.
These comedians share personal stories about growing up with doomsday warnings, strict religious rules, and the journey of leaving fundamentalism behind. Through laughter, they transform trauma into comedy and create a space for healing and connection. The shows also feature other types of comic material beyond religious themes.
