Glad to hear you are out of that cult.

I never ever enjoyed an overseer visit! Everyone was so fake! Acting all spiritual only the cream of the JWs got parts on the program. I just hated CO visits 🤮 so many decisions r made bc of peer pressure

I sent my letter of disassociation today. Now ex-pioneer and ministerial servant, 20 years old and was raised a JW. I was feeling really depressed because my whole family is already shunning me. Your video really helped me. Thank-you so much for sharing your story, maybe one day I will share mine too 🖤

That is the *BEST* chuckle 😂🤣

~ Surviving Narcissists at Kingdom Halls ~ • Your relationship is with Jehovah God, not the Elders, Pioneers or Circuit Overseers. • You should study with the Jehovah's Witnesses and at least become an Unbaptized Publisher. . Jesus said If they treat you badly go to another town Matthew 10:22,23 22 And YOU will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 23 When they persecute YOU in one city, flee to another; for truly I say to YOU, YOU will by no means complete the circuit of the cities of Israel until the Son of man arrives. . Jesus' New Commandments Matthew 22:37-40 37 He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.” • Preach the Good News and make disciples of men. • Tell the people what they need to do. • Be no part of the world • Live by Jesus' New Commandments • Sanctify Jehovah God's name. Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” Mark 16:15: Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 2 Timothy 4:2-12: Be ready at all times, and tell people what they need to do. Luke 4:18: The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. John 15:19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. There is a lot of dysfunction in the world and at these Kingdom Halls as well. You'll see an Elder on the platform that appears to be loving and kind and then as soon as he leaves the platform he is the opposite. Many Elders are rude, condescending and disrespectful; talking to people like they're fools, that's because they are suffering from a severe case of narcissism. Human behavior is troubling with all the competing egos, narcissism, jealousy and envy, poverty and the ill-educated, it's only natural that differences will arise. Try to be pleasant with one another and work through your differences. Go to your nearest Kingdom Hall and if it works out, fine. If it doesn't, move along. Just never stop learning from the literature and sharing the Good News until you find a Kingdom Hall where you are received well. Keep your Sundays dedicated to honoring Jehovah until you find a new congregation. I spent two years as a Bible Study, I completed the Knowledge Book three times and became an Unbaptized Publisher. Then a year later, I was told I was not ready for Baptism. I could have earned a PhD in that amount of time. The Elder was black, and I was basically told, "No Baptism for Whitey." They want you to ingratiate yourself. Suck up long enough and maybe we can work something out. The negativity and dysfunction is alarming. If you are a woman, there is no delay, you are Baptized right away. If you're a man, well you're gonna have a lot of issues dealing with all these narcissistic Elders who think you might not be right for their women and maybe you should wait for about twenty years to get Baptized. Their egos are out of control - they think they're God on the platform - these are some very wicked people - egomaniacs and control-freaks. For many Elders, their dreams didn't come true, they're not rich, it's back to the ego for some more narcissistic supply. And, they are working on their egos full-time because that's all they have. Many of these Jehovah's Witnesses think they're better than everyone else because of the suits they wear. They are very dysfunctional and they've become delusional being lost in this false reality. Some congregants are snobs, others can be friendly, but what they are mostly concerned about is their status and making sure their suits are not out of place. I have been to many Kingdom Halls and there is a lot of discrimination going on, and a lot of hypocrisy, nepotism, cronyism, favoritism, racism and dysfunction among these narcissistic people - there is no accountability - for the most part. I was shunned at many Kingdom Halls - they're very cliquish. Seven years later, I got tired of being alone and I married a kind, humble woman and they lost their minds. They expected me to live alone forever. No one needs to be around a bunch of haters. As of today, I have been serving Jehovah God for twenty-six years. Many of these Elders are always triangulating, deflecting and projecting because they don't have an education - very conniving people (sleazy is more accurate). They are masking and very critical, just like the world, no difference, condescending, controlling, manipulative, deceitful and very dysfunctional - always deflecting or gaslighting some poor soul - lost in a sea of narcissism. Many of these Elders claim to be no part of the world, yet they display the same negative behaviors as worldly people. Then, when you have a collective group of narcissists in the same room triangulating and gaslighting people to stroke their massive egos, that is the definition of insanity. I contacted Bethel Headquarters and was rerouted to several other people and ended up speaking to the Overseer for California. He told me, "Whatever you do, do not go to a Kingdom Hall." Subsequent to this, I had a narcissistic Elder tell me that I needed to lie when I go to other Kingdom Halls and tell the people that I am in between jobs and on unemployment, as not to offend anyone (basically they wanted me to lie and tell everyone I was a loser so their egos wouldn't get hurt). These people are pathetic - absolutely no standards whatsoever - wickedness beyond belief. These people are sick! I went to the Kingdom Hall to learn the truth and instead, they want to teach me how to lie so their fragile egos wouldn't be crushed. These narcissistic Elders have done a lot of nasty things to me in the past, and this was just another day for them doing their dastardly deeds victimizing members of the congregation. This was the last straw for me. I've had enough of the dysfunction and goofiness and now only visit Kingdom Halls occasionally. I have already received my 100-fold, and I remain always loyal to serving Jehovah, teaching people the truth, when it's appropriate. I will not tolerate a bunch of negativity and dysfunction from a bunch of low-class blue-collar idiots. I retired at 46 years old, and the jealousy and envy is appalling. They've lost their minds - many of them are poor working-class people. Yet, I have met some very kind and loving people at many Kingdom Halls throughout the years. All that is required from Jehovah God is that you apply Bible counsel in your life, be no part of the world, spread the Good News and tell the people what they need to do. He understands that there is imperfection at these Kingdom Halls, and he will hold all of them accountable for their wicked ways. Also, focus on making Jehovah God's name known and respected. When you pray and everything you do, you will honor Jehovah by calling him by his name. Show great reverence for his name and him being the only true God. End your prayers in Jesus' name Amen. Have a nice day!

Dude our souls are union......we understand life the same. 🔥🌊🙏

Me and my ex married at 18, had our first kid at 20, he was an elder lecturing at assemblies by twenty five. I relate to the age semantics. Lets don't forget the perfection required by me and the children in support of him.....

Find your median now bud.....

Your whole life is consumed with personal study, field service,meetings and preperation to give personal talks. I know this

Snow boarding stickers offensive? Dang

You are pushed at an early age to get baptized too. The unhealthy " not allowed to be somewhat normal" and to experience sensations and experiences at young age without feeling you are heading to damnation, really messes with your head as a teenager. I got married to my first sweetheart.

Don’t look back… look forward. Now you have time and the means to create a whole new future and beyond. Just forgive them and move on…

Discussion about ego was interesting. As teachers like Adi Da Samraj have stated, ego is not a thing, rather its an activity or the action of self-contraction. Being self caused, it could be said that lifes work is transcending this ego activity. I like that both of you are talking that way. 🎉

Thank you for telling your story!! Interesting and so glad you woke the hell up!!

I read a comment that said Rutherford was irritated and probably a bit jealous of those who fondly remembered Russell, so he struck back by banning beards. Wasn't he also the guy who banned Christmas and birthdays? (Grinch😮).

Its why they drink so much alcohol. After I stopped attending meetings I barely touched alcohol.

thank you for sharing this story and your vulnerability. MY JW mum called me on Sept 11th 2001 to tell me to turn on the news and I remember her telling me that this was it, the Great Tribulation was starting. I'd been out of the organization for 15 years by then but it turned on the fear. It was really validating to hear you talk about that, thank you.

What we did to be acceptable…

I love how you worked on overlapping generations

The way you say "fuck off" so funny 😂

Omg, I love your t-shirt!

Matthew 28. All power has been given me in heaven and earth( back then...1st century)

Christ Jesus is the High Priest through whom we confess. How often do they say that.. Hypocrites

The general congregations have the known informants too.Avoid at all costs😊

Bethel- a gay GB and a paedophile...And the lies and falße prophecies...Jesus said 2or 3 gathered in his(Jesus ') name,he is there in our midst...Bethel is a dirty joke.Jesus is exposing it and I feel sorry for any coonned or sucked in to going there for slave labour..Sincerely...From Sydney

I listened to your talk about everything about you. You are so admirable, and it tells me you are so human and a very good person. Thank you.

Witnesses should not be referred to as a religion but a cult. Billy Graham defined the difference. "What do they believe about the Bible? Is it alone the Word of God (as Christians affirm) - or do they add to it, or claim they alone have translated it correctly?" "Second, what do they believe about Jesus? Is He alone the divine Son of God, sent from Heaven to save us from our sins? Or do they deny this, or claim we must work to save ourselves?" continued Graham. "Third, what do they believe about other Christians? Do they claim that they, and they alone, have the truth - or do they rejoice that God is also at work elsewhere?" JWs are a cult in every aspect. So they should be referred to as such.

A language Coordinator (sure developed a new language after you left the organization) 😮The story was interesting,without all the cussing.

Regular Pioneers now only do 50 hours. Auxillary pioneers are 15 hours!! 😂😂😂 Everyone else has no hour requirement. They just ✅️ that they did service 🤣 🤣 🤣

CK invents and asks himself questions and answers them himself

It's nice to see you guys so happy. I wish you all the best.

The Bible is very boring and pointless, nothing holds together

You are absolutely right

Thank you for sharing your story. Glad to see you are doing ok

Aw, fuck it! 🙂You are not alone ... this brought back a lot of memories I had suppressed.

Good story. I have been out for 26 years. I have come full circle in that I know it's not the truth in the whole sense of the word, but look back 2,000 years ago, the elders of the one true religion were labeled as "Sons of Satan" by Jesus himself. Snakes and offspring of vipers, he called the elders, the pharisees. So those were the chosen people of Jehovah and Jesus expressed a concern for them over the centuries like a mother hen over chicks. The real problem is that all hierarchies of any religion will not take responsibility for their mistakes, false teachings, false prophesies or harmful practices that drive sheep away from Jesus. And the Witnesses no longer acknowledge Jesus as their leader but the governing body who's leader is Jehovah directly and they drag God's name through the mud on a daily basis. God will destroy them and preserve the sheep for Jesus to lead. "I have another flock and I must bring them and they will listen to MY voice," Jesus stated. Not the governing body who claim to be the only channel of communication between God and Man. Once you realize the parallel between the organization and the pharisees and the prophesies of their destruction it takes away the heavy expectation of them as leaders. I would not want to be an elder and not know what to do when their leaders are killed off. I am thinking of returning and getting reinstated to see from a front row seat how it will all go down and perhaps keep some from leaving and thinking Jesus does not love them or care for them. I am sure he is eager to come down and set things right but the anti-Christ must come first and be welcomed by apostates into the most holy of places. Then all hell will break loose and the truth will be revealed like never before. Good luck. But my advice to anyone wanting to leave is to keep cool, keep your mouth shut and don't complain too much, don't write a letter of disassociation but wait it out like a storm. Good luck in the future.

Thank you for sharing,, I have a beautiful family in this situation . Not sure what the future brings for all of us.

That was my childhood now no wife no girlfriend & no children thanks to my parents for fear mongering!

I’ve got family members who are Jehovahs Witnesses they are Very Strange People they are almost Robotic 🤖 and Boring 🥱😴💤 I Don’t enjoy their Company when they’re not Around I Feel Like I’m not being Treated Like I’m the Walking Dead 🧟‍♂️ because I am not a Member of their Cult so they Believe that I’m going to be Destroyed by Fireballs 💀💥☄️ at Armageddon for the Crime of Not Being a JW

Jehovahs Witnesses Don’t Believe in enjoying your Life they believe that you shouldn’t have Fun or Enjoy Life because it’s considered Sinful you cannot have the Best of both worlds

I was raised in this religion as well and fully understand how you feel and what you went through! Man I’m glad you didn’t follow through with what you wrote in that letter. I’m gonna tell every single porno movie I’ve ever watched in DETAIL before I take myself out! Hell no!

Shoot! I got kicked out of my household just because I wanted to marry a pioneer sister after I served in Bethel for two years. I had courted her long distance for a year, but my super spiritual mother did not agree with my wishes and kicked me out! Very understanding and loving act. It was a perfect spiritual pairing, but it was still not good enough. I think that's when the first crack in my damn started. With all that said, I married her and we're happily married for over 23 years and completely faded.

Just found you! So I kind of left at 20- but I _really_ left after I got married at 25. My husband and I grew up as JW but he rebelled alot sooner, LOL!😊 My boredom was the meetings, (actually everything) but esp the smaller Tuesday night book study at peoples' homes. This was the late 60's and I would sit there and trace the letters on each page of my _Babylon_ or _Truth,_ etc...books. It prepared me well for highschool and college. People told me I had the most perfect penmanship😅. It's because I printed like a typewriter, after all that practice!😂

Interesting conversations... I faded.. IMHO you sound like a war veteran... in a way, you were in a spiritual war and you were the causality. Mentally and physically. It’s like you were abused by your captors until you rose up and threw off those chains....I hope you heal from those wounds? sounds like PTSD. Your cycling & running produce endorphins as you know. As for Carina & her toking.... the body has 32 receptors for that particular substance. I did listen to your original story... just writing as Ilistening. Universal rules as to good & bad can guide us. Anyway... just spit balling.. good podcast

Thanks for sharing your story… I felt every bit of it as I disassociated about 28 years ago now… the freedom is priceless.. we still all have the war wounds but life is good.

Great help friends Burt Eharman great to know

Love your hummus 3 rd generation jw show everything elders are scammers family members also never wound to be one they Elders say I be a good Elder bloody scammers they wouldn’t to join there Hippocrates descanting pricks our congregation desolved now shunned from all at 70 I started fresh all alone I find have to do with scam group jworg. Regards you100% right we should be compassionate for destroying my life governments guilty for allowing scammers professional scam propaganda screw scams regards to all good ex elders to my book there are no good scammers including jwElders regards

Everything 😂😂😂 from the songs to the talks… before each meeting esp during the week when I can’t come home after work and unwind for the evening. I had to quickly get dressed for yet another meeting… not being myself. I always said these people do not know me, I had to hold back so much of myself because of the judgement….it was all fake…I wasn’t raised a JW, I grew up Catholic and after church I would be happy relieved sort of speak… after the JW meeting my ex husband and I would would reflect on the ‘talk the brother gave and how you can’t wait to the new system yada yada yada….It felt heavy and riddled with anxiety….🧜🏼‍♀️

I grow up a JW, but I studied got baptized and married a JW. I marriage got so bad that I didn’t want to make Whoopi with him and said to him you better please yourself… lol!!!he was totally against it but I had no idea that masturbation was looked down upon, 😂…. I’ve been masturbating since my early 20’s… never felt any guilt and I don’t see the problem….❤
