I want to move to South Dakota from Cali. Are there black people there? Lol

Is this a man or a woman? Maybe this is the real reason it's no longer with the organization. People need to use critical thinking skills and not just buy everything some of these people say.

I can understand mate, very similar to me .

I saw lately a testimony of man who went through an NDE experience.. went to hell.. and saw Joseph Smith trap in his hell loop. The TH-cam video is called: Man goes to hell and sees this famous false prophet. I think JeffMara Podcast TH-cam account, interviewing people on their NDE (near death experience), bares the most profound religious stories worth discovering…. 😉

im currently writing a book about it good job coming out buddy.

I grew my hair long after my Disfellowhipping, too. You look like a young Dave Mustain. "Peace is Knocking on Doors, but Nobody's Answering!" Here's something nobody says: "I was fortunate that all four of my grandparents were Southern Baptists", but with a J'sWs convert for a mum, it's very true. In the USA, the Southern Baptists formed in support of slavery and the Succession of the Southern United States into the Confederate States in order to ignore laws emancipating African Americans....but they let their kids get blood transfusions which was duly noted by the Family Court System. My mother converted from S/B to J'sWs between my parents' honeymoon and my conception. I'm pretty sure it was over the theological differences between the two organizations, but I'm not entirely willing to exclude the possibility that she was seeking a religious out to divorce due to my father simply a lousy shag. Plus, how could one love somebody with whom they disagree over how many nails it took to execute Jesus? It's unthinkable. In any event, mummy found herself free of my father and I found myself living in a strange new flat in a room with none of my cool GI Joe and Star Trek toys. The action figures had guns, you see, which is very popular in the USA. Mummy admitted in Family Court that she would let me pass away for want of a blood transfusion, making the Southern Baptists appear completely sane and reasonable by all available metrics...Did I mention the Family Court Judge was a black gentleman? I remain a very staunch Emancipationist, I should point out.

So glad you got out young and didn’t waste your life in that sick cult. I can tell you’re a former JW that is One ugly Christmas tree lol 😂😂😂. Good luck and merry Christmas.

Me, too. In Newark. My mom hurt from her youth. They wanted me to do normal things, short of express disfellowshipping acts. I would have gone berserk if I did not flee. My high school friends kept me sane. I ran all over Manhattan as a teeny bopper. We did not fit in. I was so so lonely in the Witnesses. But hated the ignorance and intolerance. Fled to study at Columbia in NY. But I still lacked basic social skills thanks to Watchtower I felt I barely was admitted. Did not want people to think I was a clueless Witness. Now in my old age, I can integrate my life. I saw so many bright Witness kids so crushed and destroyed. It was rough to leave. But stay in with grit. Humans are adaptable. I adapted. Even tho my catastrophic thoughts said I would not. Lovely tree.

Thanks for making this video, it’s relatable to me I’m 24 up in Canada, I was able to leave after the zoom era around summer 22

Thank you for sharing your experience!! 🩵

It sucks when you realize that you were raised in a doomsday cult, and were indoctrinated with a distorted view of God, and the world. Take care of yourself for now, the rest has already been taken care of.

You are so right about the JWs not tending to the widows and orphans. My husband wanted nothing to do with the religion when I started studying. Me and my 3 girls were encouraged to associate with other sisters with worldly spouses. We never got invited to dinner at elders homes. They are hypocrites!

You are destroyed for life unless you seek psychiatric treatment and debriefing

Thanks for sharing! Did you get baptized? Asking bcz even those who don't get baptized still have all the same exact experiences growing up as a JW!! Glad you got out YOUNG!! 👏 👏 👏

new years is the end of world event . caused by the world ending every year .. jesus starts time at year zero .. new zealand is starting every year at christ church ..everyone is married to man cave jesus..

the london watch tower the big ben over like a rainbow

the london watch tower bending them like a rainbow

Ex JW born-in here. Left when I was 21, now I'm 38. Unfortunately some of these things follow you your entire life. Thanks for the video. Regards from Australia.

Im so glad your an exjw now , im sure you had your doubts about leaving for a while now, i im putting together a blog for ex j.w.s & i know how shady the whole thing is & im sooooo glad your learning that the real world is not all the evil the g.b. told us it was... well its a better life on this side of the witnesses. Yeah I'm more concerned about the younger people in their that after they leave unfortunately a lot of them commit suicide I can't say a lot of them but there is more than what most people hear about and that's what I'm aiming on doing is supporting those people before they get to that point I've been out for a little while. yeah so don't give up I always find it interesting to hear people's story I know it's so damn hard cuz they control every single aspect of your life. Thanks for sharing your story I wish you the best

Thank you for sharing your experience of growing up as a JW helps ones like myself who were converted at the door in their twenties a long time ago to understand other JW that were raised in the religion/cult and what they had to endure in their young lives. I think you are doing well overcoming the isolation being in but not being accepted the loneliness of not having friends and being self conscious about your weight issues would have added to your unhappiness. You are an attractive young man with lots to offer just making this video shows how far you have come your communication skills and natural honesty is a huge plus in this world keep your smarts as others can use those beautiful qualities for wrong intentions but I guess with the experience of being a JW that would help you see through BS, take any good from it and utilise the experience in your life I think you would be an excellent help for others as you grow in understanding of the world around you.

Right! “Hero” worship! “Idol worship”! “Creature worship”! HA! Right? The kids now sometimes get away with violent video games by telling a parent: “it’s an Armageddon game about Jehovah and the Governing Body destroying all the bad guys!”... 😂

The BEST of your life is here and ahead of you! I thank God you’re out of the cult. I’m an “apostate”, as I was marked, shunned, and thought of as “one dead” by them. If they can kill a person “innocently (?)” by shunning, they’ll do it. But I learned to thrive. You are too! Thank you for speaking out. I just finished my manuscript exposing them. We all have our ways to heal. Congratulations and much love! ❤

Merry Christmas to you! I love that you can celebrate! ❤

Great video, I grew up in the religion too, so I relate to a lot of this!

So glad you had the courage to share! Don’t stop! Keep going for everything you want in this life ❤

We are free! 🎉

Sorry I missed this epic reveal .....I home schooled my stepson ......he became more miserable .......we let him move to a relative ......he is 47 and just now recovering ......stay safe 😮

Watchtower will pay for what they have done. Thanks for exposing this DOOMSDAY CULT. The more former members speak out, the more governments will make necessary changes to better protect members and their children. Keep raising your voice!!!!

The more that speak out the sooner we get our family and friends back

I let my kids watch the children movies so did i I bought them every he man characters and castle grey schull, school trips skying, they were not getting invited out, picked on, but when we had partily they came and loved iit. Kids left as teenagers .

Holy moly! Same here. It was only me and my mom in the organization. I was treated the exact same way. Then in school, the kids bully you. As a grown man you're still seen as a 2nd class JW. I recently left, I couldn't take it anymore. The last nail in the coffin was learning about the thousands of CSA cases, they're being locked up and sued for. It's tough, but we are here for you, man!

Thank you for sharing your experience🙂

You articulated your story & the social damage caused very well. Those of us who went thru it really understand & relate. Good on you for recognizing it & waking up. That mental ability & courage will take you far. You are young enough to purge most of it from your mind while you build a good life for yourself. You will go thru stages of recovery. Anger, grief, depression & acceptance. Once I got thru the beginning stages where I couldnt bear to even hear gods name, I started to build my own ideas on what to believe. I decided that Im more of an agnostic aethist progressive humanist, lol. You will get to a place where you are comfortable. Good luck! Lol, I love to say things that are rebellious! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! And thank you very much for putting your story out here. It will help you to heal.

Hi there, my name is Steve and I’m from the UK. I grew up as a JW too from 6YO, and really struggled in school, I hated it. In retrospect though it did give me the ability to deal with non JW’s in a social setting. I became excellent at blending in to my surroundings. If I was among “worldly” people I could hold my own whilst at the same time making all the right noises among the congregation. Being able to adapt to circumstances helped me to become an excellent salesman. I’m sorry you had to go through what you did, you weren’t given a chance, it was cruel and in my opinion tantamount to abuse. You grew up in an alien world and now you’re having to deal with living in the real world without the training, it’s awful. If you went to prison for 25-30 years the government have programmes to help you settle back into ordinary life, giving you support, but you don’t have that. However, I’m sure people from the ex JW community will reach out to you now you have a channel on TH-cam. I wish you all the best my friend. Take care of yourself. 👍🇬🇧

Great job

Good thing you got out young! 🎉

Thank you for sharing 😊

I put this on loop video and go about my day, it's so soothing and motivating at same time, I get alot done!

In Africa, we were not allowed to participate in competitive sports or wear Jeans trousers ,… it is worldly…. Crazy!!!

Awwww, love it! I have a dollhouse just like that!

Love it with the music!

You did it all on your own, too! Yeah, pringles aren't really food-not so good for gut bacteria, lol! Good job for giving all that stuff up!

I "liked" it, but it didn't show as such!

Just subscribed

Please don’t listen to the keyboard warriors and their negative comments sitting on their couch !!! Stay strong never look back or ever return to that cult that destroys family’s life . I was in 30 years been out 3 years best decision I’ve ever made ❤❤❤lots of support here from the XJW community on TH-cam your not alone…….i love your Christmas tree so pretty Merry Christms and a very Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wow, what a handsome, smart, logical young man you are. I have always thought that a lot of men look better in long hair. You are definitely one of them. I can relate with everything you spoke about. So happy you decided to share the truth of your lifeling experiences. I find that it not only helps to get the very wrong & hurtful experiences you have endured off of one's chest, but I hope you know it helps so many of us to be reassured that we ourselves are not the crazy ones. Thank you for your courage not to allow your past to take you down so far as to take drastic measures. And it is so wonderful to hear that your mom & bro are all on the same page as you. Close family support helps to heal us because we know what true love should feel like. 40:18 The JW elders think we are stupid because they think we can't see & feel their fake love. We are not so blind that we can't see that they fail so miserably at it. Ha ! Right ? There are so many ex JW's with a TH-cam Channel. And we are so happy there are because it is very encouraging for our mental health at this time. Yet, they are so puffed up with pride, thinking they are the only ones giving it. There are none so blind as those who can't get over themselves enough to see their own hypocrisy. I'm sure I am not the only one who watched this precious video that you so humbly shared, that hopes you continue to do so at your own pace. We truly appreciate your help. 🥰 ❤

Thank you for sharing! 'Apostate' greetings from the Netherlands ❤🇳🇱😊

@0Scar8&8 So sad. There will be loved ones and former friends in the resurrection that will ask for you. What will we tell them? He fell away and died in the tribulation. There will be those you never knew existed before you were born, generations back in history from your family tree. I think I remember him in the old world, in a video I saw once. Said he was making a peaceful protest before cutting his hair. I felt sorry for him, so young. But he's gone now, with all the others that could have survived into the new world if only they had looked to Jehovah and Jesus for their salvation instead of the imperfections of the brothers and the organization. They all made a mistake by focusing their attention on us instead of the truth and Jehovah's undeserved kindness and compassion for us all imperfect humans and his forgiveness through his loyal love for us. I saw my resurrected mother and Dad and all my bothers the other day. We're going to worship and praise our God Jehovah today at a bothers house, he was resurrected too, so happy to see him again. I'm going to build my own home with my wife and a few friends. Guess who I saw today? Noah! and Abraham was with him, Samson looked as strong as ever, and Jacob and Isaac with their mother, Job wanted to see the sheep and goats to pet, and all the rest of the old Hebrew prophets are here. I'm going to build an observatory too, since I can't go to heaven, at least I can see the stars through a telescope! And we, all the people, will be taught by Jehovah. Isa. 54:13. Amen! (Matthew 5:5; Psa. 37:9-11,29. Revelation 21:1-7)

I can relate to much of your story, thanks for sharing
