189 - But I'm The Good One - An ExJW Attorney Tells Her Story - Jehovah's Witnesses Shun Kenesha
Young Kenesha knew from the time that she was a teacher's pet in school that she wanted to be "the good one". Growing up in a life that she hated as one of Jehovah's Witnesses, Kenesha continued trying to be "the good one", but somehow found herself in situations where she was being backed into corners by people seeking to punish her, both at home and in the cult. Over and over again she would find that even being the good one wasn't a protection in a world where nobody could never be good enough.
Kenesha's website is keneshaantoine.com/

    Thanks for sharing your story Kenesha. I can really relate to when you said you left but hadn't processed it. I felt like I just accepted I was a bad person that couldn't live the JW way and I was going to be destroyed sometime in the future. I also relate to being treated like a trophy to my parents. The way your mom reacted when you started to rebel a little bit was selfish. I have realized that a lot of jw parents view their children as extensions of themselves and are more concerned about how you make them look and the embarrassment they could face from the cong. I'm so sorry for the way your family treated you. Calling the police on you was crazy. I would have loved to hear how they explained that to the police. Knowing what I know now, I would have said, "Let's do that, let's call the police. I want you to explain to them what's going on here." I'm happy you've broken the curse.

    Nice to see some folks like yourself with the courage to confront and expose this organization for what they have become: a cult of slavery to men. I am disabled for a while; or I think I would construct my own cart to start exposing these idiots for who they are as well; hypocrites! They say they have love among themselves, and that they love people. (John 13: 34, 35;...Matt. 22: 39) But as an ex JW for 55 years; I've witnessed the slow and insidious spirit of creature worship creep into the organization. In the last 10-15 years, it's become more about loyalty and worship to the governing body; than loyalty to the Head of the congregation, Jesus Christ! This group of self appointed egotistical Pharisees have slowly strangled the realm of Christian freedom by making more and more rules based on human opinions. They even kicked out 3 of their governing body members in 1980 for their disagreeing with the majority of the body on organizational policies. These men, like Ewart Chitty and Ray Franz; stood for the SCRIPTURES FIRST; OUR OPINIONS SECOND! Yet they were kicked out and called "apostates"! (See the book "Crisis of Conscience, by Ray Franz.) Don't know why you were expelled, but I was because 2 or 3 men decided THEY could interpret statements in the Bible that never defined or expanded their meaning. These elders violated the counsel at 1 Corinth. 4: 3-6; Romans 14: 2-12;..James 4: 11, 12; and 1 Tim. 5; 21; to name just a few. Then I requested reinstatement 2 times; and they denied me even the right to sit down and explain things! The "love" they think they display is CONDITIONED, CONDITIONED ON WHETHER YOU PLAY BY THEIR MAN MADE RULES OR NOT! What to wear, when to wear it, whether you can wear your beard or hair style in some way; whether you can go to college or not, what you can speak, who you can marry or date; whether you can vote in elections, whether you can contribute to organizations who are fighting lawlessness by government and health agencies;, how many hours a month you go in the ministry, how frequently you attend meetings, whether you can have a blood transfusion in the event of a medical emergency, on and on and on and on! As you probably know well! Let's keep up the exposure, so that we get these self righteous creeps who themselves have apostasized from Jesus Christ themselves; kicked out and removed from the JW's!!

      @shunnedpodcast 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes, that's an idea we've been working on too. It has to be worded well, as the average person won't know what ExJW means. Of course, the language on the shirt depends on who you are targeting it at as well. Getting the verbiage down is something my wife and I have been playing with, and I'll likely have some new shirts myself soon. I've tried different shirts that I already have to gauge reactions while out. There are many ways to do it, from carts to shirts to signs to audio (see my one man convention protest video). Ultimately ideas are worthless unless implemented, so I hope you get out there and do it someday and have the experience. I'll share too when we get our shirts dialed in.

    The JWS religion is Babylon the Great the false prophet religion who have been preaching a false commercialized $$$ version of the true Gospel of Jesus. Why this came about is not too difficult to figure out since there was a publishing house/company operating at its core and the top executive writers/editors (GB members) were the ones who made and created the doctrines for the organization. The Watchtower Corporation (JWorg.) has always been involved in false prophesying going back to the late 1800's. One of biggest inherent lies made up by these men was that Jehovah had chosen them in 1919 as his solemn earthly organization for preaching bible truths. The top men claimed to be the Anointed ones, the Faithful Discrete Slave etc. none of that was true for they were false prophets unto themselves pushing their literature to the public, using their preaching to empower themselves and make money. How bad does Jehovah view false prophets is seen in Revelation 20:10 ... 10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

    So glad you didn't go down the dark path completely, Kari and the host. Definitely better to have stepped away from the gaslighting and bad thoughts and insidiousness that is created to play on people's minds. Praise God and Christ that you are all out and free and enjoying God's ways, the way he intended. God bless all. 🙂🙏🙏🙏

    Much love and respect to you Michael and your channel and family. I'll do what I can to help when I can. I appreciate all that you do to help better lives of people that need. You are a true kind gentleman and well respected here in the community. Thumbs UP and shared to planet earth as always. A+++++ I miss and love your videos where you and Jenny have your own stands in downtown and parts of the city. Can't wait to see more. : )
