Thanks🙂

So happy for you that those first 11 years were pretty normal!! It must have made it a lot easier for you to break free!

The jws are people trying to be good people and they are doing a good job the problem is that we are not saved by trying to be good the bible says no one is good we are justified by faith we are saved because Jesus paid for you're sins if you believe that you will be saved and then the works will came not by you but God is the one working in you the works are naturaly not forced we are thankfull Jesus paid the price for us and now we loved him because he first loved us I recommend needGod.net please check them out

You are precious and Jesus loves you. When you heal please consider talking with a Catholic priest.

God saves everyone, just not at the same time . The mistake religions make they approach Salvation as if it’s by their own righteousness. 2000 years ago, Christ died for all of our sins, and was raised from the dead for our justification. Believe in him and love one another that’s all you need to have life in the age to come. Eventually, all unbelievers believe every knee bows every tongue acclaims Jesus is Lord, and there are no believers at that point. God becomes the savior of everyone, especially believers.1 Timothy 4:10. God reconciles all things through the blood of Christ cross Colossians 1: 20… God becomes all in all,,1 Corinthians 15:28. Not all in some, but all in all. God is completely victorious and saves his entire creation.❤

My deconstruction process was very similar to yours. I was brought up as a JW, pioneered after high school, had a period where people considered me to be “discouraged”, ended up leaving in 2023 and finally disassociated a couple of weeks ago. In the end, I realised that you need to listen to your intuition. My whole life I was unhappy and if your gut is telling you something is wrong, listen to it. Like you, allowing myself to do the research confirmed my doubts that I had all along.

Good on you. I left Mormonism a decade ago and I'm so much happier.

Thank you for having the bravery to tell your story. My story is very similar to yours and I know others that are similar as well. We gave ourselves permission to finally do real research and figured out that this isn't the truth and the history they hide is messed up. I also came to the same conclusion that the bible is not the word of god and that I dont think there is anything out there. Also like you said it was so hard to give parts and pretend to believe it. I am so happy for you that you can finally be your authentic self and start to live your life for you instead of for the org. Congratulations and like you said you are definitely not alone!

Good for you! You're in the drivers seat now.

This could have been my video. I hope you do well . The first 2-3 years where the hardest in my case. Did you get out together? Greetings Marc

It’s gonna be hard and it’s going to be confusing. I told my parents I didn’t believe when I was 15. For years I didn’t believe in God because of what jw’s taught me. I hope that one day you can find the real Christ.

Happy for you to have distanced yourself from an organization which made up its own truth and held people hostage in it by not allowing you to think for yourself or research outside the organization. It they have the truth, it should stand up to any amount of scrutiny and testing. Charles Taze Russell was a Christian before he fell away making up his own truth about the parts of the Bible he didn't like. I pray you find your way to a relationship with the God who created you for a purpose to know Him, the one true God who loves you so much He put on flesh to come to earth to rescue you and pay the fine on the cross so you could be made right with Him and be guaranteed eternal life in Heaven with Him if you repent and trust in Him. I know its process of coming to find the truth, but I think you will find all your answers in the Bible (not the Holy Scriptures). Read the Bible and pray for God to speak clearly to you and He will. God grieves that an organization made you check the boxes of work to earn worthiness when He offered you a free gift (not of works). "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast." God didn't give you a rescue plan to work out, Jesus was the rescue plan doing for you what you could never do for yourself.

I’m glad you’ve left that cult. Don’t give up on Jesus. Pursue Him. Pursue the truth.

So well spoken...I wish I articulate half much. Talking has never been my strongest.

Best decision I left 6 months ago and I am So happy grateful

Fantastic that you got free. I hope that you will seek the true God and become a Christian. Jesus is our hope. The Word of the cross is the power for salvation.

Appreciate your video! I am also looking to fade away. I am studying and looking into confirming my doubts. Would you be willing to share your notes/findings?

And I really crying 😭 watching the video I watching a lot recently of JW... because my neighbours are JW. I recently moved in here. Peckham London Their son around 15 y old and daughter maybe 8 or 7 y old. And my heart is broken for those kids. I bought and reading crisis of consciousness R. Franz...and digging how to help them. I love approaching JW on street and let them know about Jesus Christ But need better solutions...is not easy...

May Lord Jesus Christ bless you son. May He really does. I have 4 sons... He is and He's real and alive and He loves you so soooooooooooo much that why HE died for you and for me and for everyone. The org.JW changed his name, whole New Testament is about Jesus Christ. In Him we have freedom. Lord i ask You open his eyes, let him discover the truth. Amen

My best friend in high school (2003-2006) was a JW. And we knew the Watchtower Society is a manipulative cult, right down to reinterpreting Scripture as somehow something other than states of mind. Realize no house of worship or noisy mouth can contain/constrain/control the Word. For those who are waking up to the next step of human consciousness, I recommend you build on your freedom with the Neville Goddard lectures, such as Wisdom Untold. Know we ARE existence, which is eternal and therefore infinite when we do not restrict our thinking. If you do not think for yourself, others will think for you, and you will therefore die in your sin (means to miss the mark/miss the point). Creation is all love and knows no bounds if you allow yourself to let go of others/hive mind. There is only benefit for research and questions. By definition and design, each of us is made uniquely, and when we value expressing individuality, we are practicing divinity. Love, not manipulative fear, is what builds life. Anybody who bashes you for harmless expression of honest self is, by definition, an opponent to life, resisting Creation. Everything is going to be OK. I love you all. The guilt and shame are not real, they are illusions somebody planted in the garden if your mind, which your subconscious executed. Don't parrot what others have told you. Remember, most humans by sheer number are not very smart, and often (over) compensate for their incompetence and insecurity they are incredibly desperate to hide (deception, lying). Feed your subconscious mind healthy, loving images that will multiply. Do not obsess with logical thinking, which only serves to drag you down a rabbit hole of brainwashing because you are insisting that you can somehow wrap your little human brain around all of Creation, when really, we haven't scratched the surface of our shadow world (valley, lower dimension). Now more than ever is the time to build a strong, healthy mind. You can do it. There is no death with I AM. :)

This video will help a lot of people, I hope you know that. Btw unrelated but I kept thinking the landscape looks like northern Minnesota, it brought back some good memories. I figured a lot of things out during my college years, going for hikes a few days a week at the local state park up there.

All of Jehovahs priestly class go corrupt, proving flesh can not rule men. There is an “evil slave” in charge. (Matt 24:48-51) He “beats the other slaves” and gets some to follow. (Luke 12:45-48) Upon seeIng this, Jesus orders us to leave and head for the mountains. (Matt 24:15) He says “let the reader use discernment” not listen to a “faithful slave.” Jehovah’s brilliant prophesy only gives us more reason to believe and trust in him.

I used be a JW we left shortly after my mom died but we were questioning for a bit. Anyway everyone shunned me which was very damaging to my MH. But im just a non-denom christian now

The gospel of JW is false. I just hope you don’t lose your faith and hope in God. Jesus is the answer and he can heal you from all resentment. Praying for you!

The Witness religion is one based on fear because anyone who leaves is cut off from friends and family who are witnesses.In this regard they are very much like the Muslims who may also face death if they leave Islam.The only true freedom can be found through salvation in Jesus Christ.God incarnate in flesh. He alone is Saviour and Lord.

Know there are many who are traveling this path with you. Although many times it may feel like you are alone you are not. There are many resources available. Many I have found here on TH-cam. I encourage you to do your research. Research Watchtower, research the ex-JW community, and anyone else you can. And by all means if you need to reach out do so.

Thank you Mark for being honest, well done! Leaving the Society and ending up being shunned, losing those friendships, is painful, but NOT the end of the road. It is a blessing of the Lord that you are out of there, the Lord has more for you! Jer. 29:11-13. Please be aware that the Society is in the grip of a demonic religious spirit, and 8,7 million JWs are in its cross hairs. Jesus warned us in John 8:44 and John 10:10 that the devil is a murderer and a liar. He is deceitful, hypocritical and entirely aims to block all people from coming to Jesus in repentance, so that they can find forgiveness of sins and salvation. His tactics are summed up in Isaiah 5:20, to blacken everything that is good, and whitewash everything that is evil, to trap folk in the Society through fear, obligation, guilt and slavery. That is why the Trinity is denied, churches are called satanic, no repentance required, that the NWT is the most accurate translation, and the deity of Jesus is utterly denied, etc., etc., etc! Lies, lies, and more lies. JWs, get out while you can, while you still breathe, lest you suffer the horrific fate as explained in 2 Cor. 6:14-18. Please read these Scriptures that I am sharing with you. If any of you have come out, shunned, drifting, hurting, angry, bitter, with a bloody nose and a mouthful of gravel, realize that you will need to cast off the doctrines and teachings of the Society, and relearn from the Lord, from scratch! I am pleading to you, fight back! Not with lawyers and folk full of hatred, but fight back God's way. Forgive all in the Watchtower Society, pray for them, get a decent Bible, and before you begin reading from the beginning of Matthew to the end of Revelation, use Psalm 119:18 as a prayer. You will find the Lord will quicken His word to you and it becomes a pleasurable feast for you, not a boring duty. Fight back! Pluck up courage and go to a gospel preaching church - surprise! There will be no demons jumping out at you, on the contrary, you will hear a message of life, and be able to repent and receive Jesus as Lord, experiencing the joy of the Lord now, as you receive eternal life! You will be welcomed into a family and you will have freedom to ask as many questions as you want - always to find the truth as given in the Bible. (Beware, the NWT is badly adulterated to prop up the Society's false doctrines - lies!) The Society / religious spirit lied to you about the Christian church, to keep you out and away from God the Son, the One who loves you. Fight back, spit the gravel out of your mouth and pluck up courage, start on your new journey! May God bless you! (Psalm 37:23, 24.)

Wish u could do video for me in NYC. I do immigration law. Do not know the techniques but recognize the artistry and skill. It shows!

Welcome to your freedom! I left with my husband in 2017 after being a born in third generation and 52 years old. It’s never too late!

Gorgeous photography. Cinematic. Born in. Coerced. My sin was doing very well in school. They hate college. But I never wanted to emulate any Witness, I wanted to be Florence Nightingale, A female Gandhi, Lincoln, Washington, a Hamilton bc he was very local. Hated their hate and intolerance. Did actual research in great libraries. Had to sneak academic clubs, school paper, and orchestra. My father thought I was too worldly at puberty. Severe violence. In the end, I bolted to the Ivy League. My influences were pictures of Gandhi, Margaret Mead, became her student. Martin Luther King, Jr. Justice Dept lawyers forcing equality in the south. The Beatles, Bob Dylan, the WHO, Joni Mitchell. Jazz and classical music. Studied New Testament at Columbia.

Thank you for your story 👍

I'm hardcore Jw. I destroyed the Ps5 Pro my uncle bought me for Christmas. I dumped that thing in the trash in heartbeat.

Be glad you got out young

Just dont become an atheist like so many other ex JWs

The thing you dear people have forgotten? Is Jehovah? Don’t look at the man! Look at Jehovah? Things are the way they are for a reason? I’ve been disfellowshipped for over 3 decades! But that’s my issue and not the congregation’s? Keep seeking and knocking in accordance with His will….and….like our patriarch, Joseph, we’ll eventually see the blessings?

Thank you so much for sharing: Your story is relatable to SO many of us! ❤

Thank you for this video, Mark. I have so much respect for people like you who actively seek real truth. I'm an ex JW, and I still struggle with being deceived by the organization and the existence of a loving god.

The research on the JW doctrine made me leave. I couldn't believe I was in a cult and this angered me the most because I was lied to all these years and I wasted so much time. I'm so happy that your curiosity and research woke you up.

left 3 years and 3 days ago, so happy to have a new outlook on life, find what makes you happy and put all your effort into that

speaking so convicted and publicly about your findings is hard to do, and very proud of you for doing so. good job dude!! congrats on opening the door

Welcome to the outside. Take your time to process this time ❤

Hello Mark, Your testimonial video was beautifully filmed. I enjoyed how you combined the narrative with the images. I'm an ex-Catholic. I realize you have a lot of "catching-up' to do. So many things to learn etc. I've studied a ton of math, history, languages, philosophy (I am fascinated by theology & Aesthetics) and cooking (hehehe you may need a few recipes along the way) If I can be of any help to you at all, I would be happy to. If you reply to this message it will pop up in my email. Whatever you decide to do, I wish you success and happiness in the new life that awaits you. Jacques Mexico, 72 years old retired half that time.

Thanks for sharing, Mark. I left SDAism years ago and there’s a lot in common with our experiences. The Lord led us to a Christian community that we could grow spiritually, and trust the Lord will guide you into understanding who He truly is.

Spiritual manipulation is so harmful. I left the lds cult 2 years ago, so I have gone through a similar journey to leave that false religion.

I like your story and the background music is so perfect for me.....i am out for 1year and 4 months and .....the reasons and the feelings that made me quit are so similar to yours...thanks for sharing your experience!

Thank you for sharing your story. I appreciate your candor and your production value. As a XJW of 25+ years, I can tell you that things do get better. You seem very well spoken, and self aware. You have a challenging but rewarding journey ahead.

Your story deeply resonates with me. As someone who walked away from a fundamentalist Christian background, I recognize those painful moments of questioning, the intellectual honesty that requires you to confront uncomfortable truths, and the courage it takes to step away from a belief system that once defined your entire world. Your vulnerability in sharing this journey-how you gradually questioned things, felt the cognitive dissonance, and ultimately chose authenticity over conformity-is incredibly powerful. The way you described your process, especially how the pandemic gave you space to think critically, is so relatable. That moment of realizing you were essentially performing a belief rather than genuinely holding it is profound. Your commitment to not harboring personal resentment, but instead focusing on the systemic issues, shows real emotional maturity. Thank you for creating this video. It will undoubtedly help others who are silently struggling with similar doubts and feeling isolated. Your message that they are "not crazy" is so important. Wishing you peace and continued growth on your journey of self-discovery.

My mother was convinced I'd be born in a concentration camp... yep you guessed it, I was born in 1975... that cult stole my childhood and teenage years. I deeply deeply resent that, along with the fact that my mother is a narcissist, so this religion was the perfect control mechanism. I escaped at 21 and have never looked back. Edit: Enjoy your new, free, normal, happy life young man ❤

Those armageddon images still haunted me.
