Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses: Helping Loved Ones Escape!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ธ.ค. 2023
- We have been getting a lot of requests for this current video! Something we can all relate to is finding out the truth about the "truth" and wanting to help the people we care about escape. It feels like an impossible mission, but we are here to help the best way we can! #jehovahswitnesses #jehovah #jw #exjw #exjwcriticalthinker #kingdomhall #religion #spiritual #spirituality #christian #exchristian #athiest #apostate #healing #trauma #cults #AwakenTruths
My wife’s family is almost totally JW. Because she was disfellowshipped in the late 1970s, because she wouldn’t dump her non-JW boyfriend (Me), it caused us to start researching the religion. So, for the the last four decades, after learning and confirming their long history of false prophecies, doctrinal errors, deceptions and flip flops, we continuously have been on the outside looking in. It’s difficult knowing the facts about this religion while knowing thousands are still being brought in and led astray, and wasting their lives serving a group of men in New York. But it’s wonderful seeing people like you finding your way out and warning others. Keep up the great work!
Congrats on your engagement, real talk, been married 20 years, I finally married my childhood sweetheart, we grew up in the organization, long story short, I left, she winded up in the shelter, I'm clean and sober 17 years, now I came back to the organization, took her out of the shelter, we been married ever since, we woke up together, and now exjws. My advice to you is to keep christ in your lives, and don't forget we all are imperfect and fall short of the glory of God, love your neighbor as yourself and God with your whole heart and soul and mind, and your wife is your closest neighbor, vice-versa, remember there is no perfect wife or husband, and keep putting up with each other's imperfections. Great video.
That’s a great story and we’re glad you all found freedom. We’re not religious people at all but we believe in being decent humans. Thanks for watching!
@@AwakenTruths we're not in a religion either, but we don't have to be to believe and have faith in God, and believe that christ walked the earth, our belief has always been in God and not a religion, hope you still believe in God.
@@AwakenTruths also a marriage needs all the help it can get, if you decide to go through with it, you're young, and inexperienced, I have years of experience, and been married 3 times, I know what it takes, and I personally believe it takes a higher power, to help you. Wish you the best.
@@AwakenTruthsJesus sent all of you to preach about the JW's or satan sent all of you to preach about the JW's????
Jesus sent all of you to preach about the JW's or satan sent all of you to preach about the JW's??????
I woke up when I discovered a pyramid on Russell's grave! It has been eleven years now. God Bless
Yup! He literally has a free mason grave
I believe they secretly removed it during Covid
JT and Lady C helped with my dealing with leaving when I left in 2015. I also did an interview with them which helped a lot. I also wanted to wake some people up but found out I needed to slow my roll lol
Same with us 😂 it’s natural to want to save the people we care about
God bless you too. Stay focus. I have a cousin that was JW she became a born again Christian many years ago. She said it felt like blinders came off her eyes when she left JW and accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and was baptized in Jesus Name over 35 years ago. Jesus Christ is the True and living Lord and Savior. Amen✝️
Facts!!! There is no such thing as a critically thinking Jehovah's witness.
Facts!!! You have to be brainwashed to be a JW
@@AwakenTruths
I think critically..but nome of the half truths bother me..and know a good few of them.
Putting on lens of scripture makes things clearer.
Rev 11:6; hag 2:7; lsa 30:20
Rev 16:13&14
What should we expect Gods representatives will be doing in these times ?
More than just preaching..l ve been surprised since l been disfellowshipped the things that now make sense after initially being shocked..repeatedly.
Hi! Like you, I remember the first time I clicked onto an "apostate" video, and I was even disfellowshipped at the time. I was physically shaking, terrified, not able to comprehend the danger I was letting myself in for.
Such is the mind control of the so-called only true organisation Jehovah is using to bring together the most loving people on the planet? I don't think so.
Most terrifying feeling ever. And then you realize it’s all for no reason at all
Amen!@@AwakenTruths
Same here. I'd heard about the book "Crisis Of Conscience" by Ray Franz as a JW (I am/was 4th generation JW). After several very serious events within the cong. and organization that made me begin to question the WT, I ordered the book. I wanted to know what Ray knew. When it arrived in the mail, my hands were shaking. Then I realized how foolish that was. I was only interested in truth, so what's the big deal? If the book wasn't presenting truth, I could just throw it away. If it was truth, then I needed to read it and reevaluate things.
This is the irrational fear WT indoctrinates JWs with and which keeps them enslaved. A JW is conditioned to believe that any viewpoints that deviate from WT messaging MUST, by nature, be evil (Satanic), so the JW stops the process of critically thinking before it even gets started. Reading that book was the best thing I ever did.
When I was a kid, I noticed there were NEVER Black people in any of the illustrations in the books. In my 8 year old mind, if we're not in these books, are we are not in paradise? I LOVED reading Black history and couldn't understand why we were not pictured in the books. Now I can't picture me in their man made religion.
The book of Bible stories had Samson as a white man with locs lol like come on now this is wild!
Jt and Lady C helped us the most!!! Do y'all need friends??? We are in Dahlonega GA and recently woke up.
Hello from Conyers, GA. Love your videos. Woke up 2021 after 35 years. Trying to pay off my house before retirement. So many of us thought we would never reach retirement age. I am woke and broke but so happy to be out of that evil cult.
Girl the fact that you’re out…consider yourself rich!! Lol
I Thank the Most High for waking up people from these cults. The churches and their wicked leaders that are not teaching us who we really are. I never been a JW but my sister and her husband are. They are in the sunken place that is why I had to leave them alone. Y’all have explained a lot of things about JW and I thank you so much. Have a blessed week.
Shalom achoti
Love you guys videos. Shout out I’m a registered nurse too. I woke up last year. My husband is still pimi. I told him all about the research I found. All the court cases, the UN membership, ect… but unfortunately he decided to shut his brain off. He makes excuses for the organization saying they not perfect bla bla. And that they still do good stuff and that the good outweighs the bad. We have 2 kids toddlers. A 2 and a 4 year old. So it’s been hard. I’m scared that he will never wake up. He’s not a hardcore witness or anything and has no title. But it’s still hard hard and very lonely. I celebrate my birthday and the kids birthdays alone. He used to be my best friend but now there’s just so much I can’t talk to him about 😢. So I’m still grieving that our marriage changed. I have faded and am inactive. It was easy to fade since we bought a house during covid and moved to a new state. So new congregation. They do not know me. Anyways i just wanted to vent.
My heart goes out to you, my dear!❤ I was the only one in my family being a JW but I faded almost 10 years ago but didn't actually wake up until resently. We all have our own way of tackling our awakening so be patient with your husband. And connect with others that are on the same path as you. All my best to you!❤
It’s so sad that your husband hasn’t caught on yet. On a positive note at least he’s not super a witness with titles and you two are in a new area. Just continue to be patient and maybe he’ll come around. Maybe watch some court cases while he’s in the other room and can hear it? Little things like that could spark a thought.
@@AwakenTruths good idea 👍🏽. Thank you 🙏
Gm,Let your children's live there children's hood life.
@@rachelwashington1774 Gm. Absolutely 💯 I’m hyper vigilant about not letting them get indoctrinated with the witnesses. Last thing i need is for them to grow up shunning me.
I'm in the middle of this type of thing as well. I've been attending meetings for about 6 months with my girlfriend who is in their bible school but not baptized as of yet. Many of these videos have helped me to stay the course and stick to my beliefs systems and not be duped. Many super real things said here and I'm glad to have a clear mind and will slowly be able to help the others at the Kingdom Hall the real truth. I am a Christian after being atheist for my first 35 years, so I've gotten to where I'm at spiritually through God's grace alone. Certainly not a man or group of men who don't even know my spiritual journey. I've spoken to several elders in a similar way that was described here, in an informal, kind of nonchalant way and it seems to have at least created a few cracks in the sidewalk so to speak. I am a patient man and it's all in God's timing never my own. I appreciate you guys 🙏
My ex jw friend said I left throwing grenades behind me. I really didn’t care and wasn’t scared to tell my piece and leave. My husband loves me and just accepted what I was doing. I never have been one to drop feed but more like a fire hose. That how I was when I got in and when I left. Thankful that he listened and we were PIMQ for years.
Cramped path complete with a narrow gate ..just as Jesus said..🤔
🎉 NAILED IT🎉 Yes, this is a perfect blueprint for waking people up!
I also started wondering why all the pictures had white people when I was around 13 and I realized this was Israel and Jerusalem and Egypt and ppl in those areas don't have shining white skin.
Great job on this video! 😊
Thank you! It’s crazy how they put those pictures in everything and make it the norm
God bless you both, your hearts are so beautiful to me. Keep being you and making a difference! 💝
Thank you!!
Very intelligent young couple keep doing what you do. Be smooth about it.
We appreciate it!
You guys are awesome. I love your videos. I’m trying to desperately wake up my husband because I’m not at Jehovah witness and the fact that he married me makes me think there’s a chance he might wake up but he dismisses even court cases. He says their lies that when you leave, you’re leaving God…. about the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard but his whole family are Jehovah’s Witnesses. All their spouses all their kids. it’s a wacko situation to be in. Because I’m very “worldly” and very proud of it because I was raised by a narcissist, single mom and I’m very triggered by this religion and the similarities. I love your videos. Keep it up guys help me understand what’s going through the minds of Jehovah witnesses
That’s part of why I rejected this religion too. I was raised by a narcissist and the parallels were striking. The other reason is that I’m rabidly pro education !
Me as an unbaptized publisher got so brainwashed by the JWs… slowly trying to stop being so scared & intimidated by them and just stop all my studying & meeting attendance. I know I’m more spiritual, Not religious and I have to stop being scared & free myself from the control & power they got over me. Including not growing weak & attending the meeting tonight.
17:55 so many well-intentioned, sincere people who are being fooled just like I was! We have all been there! Excellent suggestions and another great discussion!
I FINALLY woke up after being a PIMO for years. I want to share what I’ve learned with the rest of my family but I already know how it’s going to go! I’m hoping they wake up soon too!!
We’ve all been there! It’s so frustrating watching our family waste their lives away
"Beth Sarim (Hebrew בית שרים "House of the Princes") is a ten-bedroom mansion in San Diego, California, constructed in 1929 in anticipation of various resurrected Old Testament biblical patriarchs or prophets such as Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah and Samuel. It was maintained by the Watch Tower Society, the parent organization used by Jehovah's Witnesses, and was also used as a winter home and executive office for Watch Tower president Joseph Franklin Rutherford. The house was sold to a private owner in 1948." -- Wikipedia
I haven't heard the video but I know it's gonna be good. Love you guys from Canada
Thank you for tuning in!
Hi from Indiana USA
Hey, ❤ you guys. Jesus loves you, too. I totally feel where you're coming from.
Thank you for watching!
That’s exactly what I thought. My whole family has been Got.! You two are such beautiful souls. Appreciate you.
Yup! We all got bamboozled! And thank you!
You guys are awesome and have become one of my go-to channels for exJWs! Keep up the awesome work, you both play off of each other intellectually and with humor, too! And you both are very knowledgeable and articulate.
That’s such a huge compliment to us!! Thank you for that.
Refreshing
Congratulations on your video. What had me struggling for a long time was being told that I could not partake of the MEMORIAL EMBLEMS as a baptised Christian. Every year when the memorial scriptures come up it was blatantly obvious to me the organisation is wrong on this especially listening to the talk and the elder skipping all over the place trying to explain why only a few were “worthy” or “anointed” to partake and I would be very troubled afterwards.
I love love love your videos. 💚 I unfortunately said some stupid stuff after waking up and lost my parents and kids and grandkids. But I personally think I would have left them no matter what in the end. Despite all that, my husband are happier than ever.
I meant lost them
You are too funny. I have been out for over 30 years! When you get to the part of “who’s going to be our house holder~~ Dude I lost it! I am laughing so hard right now! PS I am an RN also. Go lady go! You will always have a good career in nursing!
Those talks were so corny and garbage weren’t they 😂. Salute to you for leaving and having a great career!
Agree!! You also need to research the Sumerian Tablets which was written and here before the Dead Sea scrolls! The same stories and teachings that are in the Bible are from the Sumerian Tablets, that will blow your mind.
Similar. Not the same.
I LOVE you guys!! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Stay close to EACH OTHER!! Be EACH other's BEST FRIENDS! Soooooo glad you 2 got far away from this CULT and not have been married in it! It would tear your marriage to pieces! This was another awakening to me when I was in the cult....God wants you to "screw-over" your mate, your children, your family....FOR A RELIGION?!!! It REALLY woke me up!
Fun topics suggestions -
Jw acting cringy on social media
Or
Jw urban legends-
Example 1 The surf doll coming to life in the Kingdom Hall and running out.
Example 2 Earth Wind and Fire/John denver/Gloria Estefan announcing all jw must leave their concerts (the story is the same but the artist change depending on the race of the person telling the story.
Yooo I forgot about that!! And they definitely condemned Earth Wind and Fire
Ohhhhh, this gonna be good!!!!
Omg she’s so right! I was in my freshman year of college and one of my friends asked me if I was going to donate blood during the blood drive and I told her no. When she asked why I told her because I don’t want to catch a disease 🤣😂😂😂🤣. How embarrassing?!? I was told they collected blood through infected needles.
Also, I was screaming at the top of my lungs to any family member that would listen that the organization was fake. They all thought I was crazy but through their own research they soon came to realize I was indeed not crazy 😂😂🤣.
I will never understand how celebrated snitching is amongst Jehovah witnesses.
It seems like everything that’s frowned upon in secular settings is encouraged in JW’s. Especially snitching. Gossiping. Being nosy. Etc.
Basically everything you wouldn’t want in a friend.
This is sooo true!
Wow, interesting, never knew things were this way ....
Hi Awaken Truths. Loving your videos & so happy for ya'll guys 💍!!!!!. You're both exactly on point & always explain jws cult so accurately. See you guys soon on the next one, peace ✌️, Happy Holidays🎄🎁🎁, love, Janine Smiley😗😘🥰😍🤩🙂🙃🫠😇
I remember a visiting presiding overseer, he was actually a biracial black brother giving a talk and he had an example on the screen about how nationalism was really bad , and guess what example he used , mind you this was a congregation full of white people , and we live in one of the most conservative regions with significant shows of nationalism with the American flag everywhere in the community , the example he gave was a picture of an African sister with head cover/gear ,typically worn in west Africa. And he added that someone being proud of their Africaness was nationalism . Being one of the only black people there and the only africany in the congregation I felt thoroughly disrespected and targeted because it felt very aimed at me because I was very confident about who I was and how much of my identity was formed from growing up there. Yeah it was a done deal after that
When I saw the old bethel family pics and there were no black people, I was like, WTF!!
Facts! Literally white supremacy just like these other groups
You both are such a beautiful couple. 😍 you guys would have beautiful children! Glad to hear you guys broke from the JW cult. ❤
Thank you! We appreciate it!
The thumbnail reminds me soooo much of those pictures in the watchtower magazine study articles with the very dramatic depictions. And the watchtower conductor will spend 15 mins talking and asking the audience what do they see in this picture?? Lmaooooooo
Swear! Like the flirty coworker pictures in the watchtowers 🤣🤣🤣 “look at our brother in such danger friends!”
@@AwakenTruths 😂😂😂 I use to be in my seat baffled and annoyed when the conductor asked "what do you see here with this picture friends"? And everyone gave lonnng drawn out comments about the picture created and made up in NewYork by this cult. Im so glad I left, knowledge is power. keep doing these videos because ppl are waking up in droves because of the ex jw content. 💯
Love you both 💓!!!
Thank you! 🤍
I don’t mean to be repetitive in every video but I can’t handle the cuteness of the two of you🥹 Couples don’t come more adorable than you🥰 I also love your stories. My favorites are the memories of growing up and the stupid stuff that happened with people.
Although I have never been a Jehovah's Witness, I know the pain of being rejected by people that I very much wanted to be with; my birthday is Halloween, so many people told me growing up that I shouldn't celebrate it because they believed it was Satan's birthday. I have a lot more in common with ex-JWs than they realize.
Wow that is crazy! You can’t help that you were born on Halloween . It’s just another day
@@AwakenTruths I was always allowed to celebrate my birthday, but I was raised around people who believed that it was Satanic. Furthermore, I found a woman on here that is an atheist; she is very attractive. However, she wanted nothing to do with me; I have been rejected by women I had a crush on for the past 15 years. That's how I know the pain of shunning although it is for a different reason. Women just don't like me.
What we speak and think becomes our reality. If you start to speak about the type of woman you want and build up your confidence I guarantee you’ll find one
@@AwakenTruths There was a beautiful woman on here recently that is an atheist; she almost cried in one of her videos about being lonely and asked people to come check her out on Instagram. I went there and asked her to be my online friend at least; she told me to get lost. That was the most painful rejection I have had in over a decade because finding an atheist black woman is almost impossible. I have been sad and crying about it all week; I don't know why she couldn't find it in her heart to talk to me and be my friend. That would have meant a lot to me.
Excellent job, we need more people like you ❤
29:00 “you’re being disobedient!” 😂😂
You guys learned a great skill set as speakers and teachers and now you can use that to really help people.
Thank you! I guess we did learn one thing from that cult lol. Except we don’t teach lies anymore 😅
Glad to see your numbers growing. Well deserved.
Also glad you got through it together.
I have to say realizing this was all a lie was the most eye opening experience of my life. It felt like my brain had been taken apart and it needed to be put back together.
I am Cuban and I remember when I was little we would walk to the KH and people on the street would literally say “look they’re on their way to the cult” I always wondered why people would call it that. The actual TRUTH was there all along lol.
Hi! Please check out Mike Winger, Melissa Dougherty, and James White on the topic of JW too! They are excellent! I find the topic of changing the Bible very sad...they inserted Jehovah 200 plus times in the NT where the Greek words isn't there and took away the diety of Jesus. JW's don't know they used to worship Jesus (Jwfacts has a good write up on that). Thanks!
JWFacts has some great info!!
I've woken up my aunt and about 4 others... its an art.
Another good topic! So you guys moved to Pittsburgh? Wow I'm from Pittsburgh, I'd love to meet you both! Well said!
That’s dope! I’m from Ohio and Lexie is from Pittsburgh but now we live in Georgia
Thank you both once again for another excellent video. I appreciate how loving and respectful you both are to each other waking up at different times in life. Your stories are genuinely relatable and brings me comfort that I'm not alone. My awakening experience was exactly like going through the 7 stages of grief (shock, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, testing and acceptance). The love of worshipping the heavenly father above (God) kept me believing in jws but the ridiculous rules had me questioning their teachings all the time. Over the years, I have now finally reached the stage of acceptance that jws is a cult. Even though I am free, I hope family and friends who are still jws can be awaken too in their own time but soon. I promised not to use the tactics like 28:30 "Man, this ain't the truth. You need to get out" ..... lol so funny 🤣😂🤣😂
Salute to you for waking up! It would be great to see our family and friends wake up but it’s all up to them and their own journey in life
Mic drop when you said “there is no such thing as a critically thinking JW”……So very true!! Critical thinking is self guided & self discipline thinking that requires listening, evaluating, analyzing, studying, & applying information on different beliefs/values/thoughts/etc and then drawing a reasonable conclusion or analysis about it in a fair and intellectual way. It requires being open minded and JWs are taught and programmed not to be open minded and I used to be one of them.
The best way to wake up a loved one and help them leave with dignity, is to show them this very unique end time prophecy that has always been in every Christians bible:
.
Isaiah 66:5
HEAR THE WORD OF JEHOVAH, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.”
.
[Name of person] is no longer one of JEHOVAH's Witnesses ---->> "excluding YOU by reason of MY NAME"
.
What Jehovah said would happen at the time of the end, is really happening!
.
So who is right?
.
Nine men who live in New York?
.
Or
.
Jehovah?
.
.
Do you see why a Jehovah's Witness can leave with dignity?
.
If anyone, including elders, try to contend with you, simply ask them why THEY don't believe Jehovah?
.
.
Helping a person to wake up from that Organisation. Is not an easy thing at all. It takes a person with a very open mind. A person that is willing to listen and willing to put the WT aside for a moment and really starts to think for her or himself. We all know most of them are not willing or even able to do that. Their minds are train to accept whatever the WT puts in front of them. I was trying to get one to wake up. I gave up because it was like, trying to drain the ocean. Its not an impossible thing to do. However. Very, very hard. So to all those who are trying. I wish you good luck and im praying for ya'll.
Most definitely! JW’s think that they are open minded people but they are the exact opposite of
Great video guys. Left at 21 years ago. Keep it up
Congratulations on your engagement 🎊👏. You two are a great fit.
Also, you guys should consider doing some Merch. I would buy the Awaken Truths t-shirt and mug.
Thank you! It was actually at the beginning of this year in January lol but we’ve thought about it! We do actually have something even better than at short coming out very shortly 🙈
@AwakenTruths You're welcome. That is great, I look forward to seeing what it is. I'll stay tuned in for the update.
Also, I don’t think you need to necessarily wake older people like grandmas and grandpas
So true. They’ve been holding onto that info for decades and coincidentally have witnessed all the bogus teachings get thrown in the garbage
“More than 30 years before October 1914, anointed Christians began preaching that God’s Kingdom would begin to rule on that important date. Their understanding was based on Daniel’s prophecy about a large tree that was cut down and would grow again after a period of time. (Daniel 4:16) Jesus described a sign that would help his disciples know that he had become King and that the last days had begun. World events since 1914 clearly prove that Jesus is King. (Matthew 24:3, 7, 14; Luke 21:24) Today, “the magnificent things of God” that we preach about include the fact that Jehovah made Jesus King of the Kingdom in 1914. (The Watchtower July 15, 2014 study edition pgs. 24-25)
The thumbnail tho 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 classic art
@@AwakenTruths fo sho 😂
I would love for you two to do a show on the recent changes made to their view on accepting blood transfusions.
My mom was a JW and she died last year in September. Two weeks after she died, they announced that it should be a personal decision, between you and Jehovah. 🙄
Without giving too much personal information, a blood transfusion was needed to keep her alive. But sweetly stubborn/determined to please her God, mother had overridden her unbaptized husband and adult children with her NO BLOOD card.
I, a former JW myself was crushed. I missed so many precious moments with her because I was disfellowshipped. And now I will miss out on watching her grow old and loving her grandchildren because of her faith in this organization. 😢
This one hit close to home! I’m sorry for you loss. My grandmother followed the rules of the no blood and passed away in 2019 because of this. We will definitely add the no blood topic to the list
You two are fun to watch. I first saw you in a video explaining the racism and white superiority within the JW Organization. Thanks for the info and keep up the great work
Thank you for the support!
❤😊❤
I don't know of any JW who actually believes in this double and superimposed generation taught by the Watchtower since 2008. The JW are so dependent on the Watchtower society that they are willing to distort the words of Jesus to continue following the Watchtower in his ramblings interpretative, this is how they dared to twist the words of Jesus to artificially lengthen the generation of 1914 which no longer exists today.
Most JWs I know are ashamed of this teaching and do not dare to teach it to others.
You have to be under the influence of the Watchtower not to see the deception surrounding this unbiblical “double generation”. Fortunately, this absurdity which shames reason and common sense allows more and more JWs to wake up.
This is so accurate! And the fact that we all have social media with all this information at our fingertips.
History is very important. Remember how they say Christmas has a dirty Origin? where they gave an example of a piece of candy on the floor and then washed clean. Come on now...its the same thing. If you can't ignore Christmas origin, then why is Jehovahs witnesses origin not the same
Bingo! Sometimes the illustrations they use end up flipping back on them
@@AwakenTruths yup all thee time
“Seventy jubilees of fifty years each would be a total of 3500 years. That period of time beginning 1575 before A.D. 1 of necessity would end in the fall of the year 1925, at which time the type ends and the great antitype must begin. What, then, should we expect to take place? The chief thing to be restored is the human race to life; and since other Scriptures definitely fix the fact that there will be a resurrection of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and other faithful ones of old, and that these will have the first favour, we may expect 1925 to witness the return of these faithful men of Israel from the condition of death , being resurrected and fully restored to perfect humanity and made the visible, legal representatives of the new order of things on earth.” Millions Now Living Will Never Die p.88
Do yall celebrate holidays now? I’m pimo but I have a child and I still don’t celebrate holidays. My parents are very hard in the paint and there is no waking them up. I just don’t want my kid brainwashed. I just tell her, respect everyone, live your life, love your life, if anyone tries to tell her something too extreme I go and squash it. She’s going to be confused until she can really understand what’s up. I was raised in this religion and I have been PIMO since I was around 10. Yeah I’m a professional at this point.
Hey Guys, I can explain 1914. I was a pioneer at that time.
Hi, my daughter is still in and has shunned me for 9 years now 😢 How to I help her escape? I have come to terms with the fact that she is going to wake up on her own and then I would be there for her if she reaches out. It’s heartbreaking 😢
Hi guys, I’m a Christian &I really enjoy your videos. My bff and her whole family are JW’s & I am always trying to plant seeds. My question for you all is why do you think the JW religion preaches so hard against the Trinity?
It is a core belief that Jehovah is God, Jesus is the son of god and holy spirit is the energy of God. Tbh i think fighting over it is dumb. People get so caught up in the smaller details that they miss the message
From studying the doctrine of the witnesses for the last four years the overall impression I get is they just work so hard at being totally different than what they call Christendom. Anything that they can do to pick apart what we believe they will do whether it makes sense or not and none of their belief makes sense. Some good books to read and get head knowledge on is: how to witness to a Jehovah Witness and Kingdom of the cults, they are time tested.
One thing I really enjoy about studying their doctrine is that you really get to know our bible as opposed to their belief system, it really forces you into learning the bible . This helps with anyone that you want to witness to and makes you rock solid to believe what the Lord promises us so we can do what Paul says to do which is defend the faith and be ready to tell people our hope in Christ.
Nice video. She got a tan, looks nice.
We’re fresh from Central America lol thank you!
I find Apartheid still happening in South Africa. I attended meetings with my eldest sister and her family. Jehowah Witness People are devided into groups according to their language eventhough the whole of South Africa understands English. So you have Blacks sitting in one group, Afrikaans people sitting in another group, English speaking people sitting in another group. Is that a thing internationally? I told my sister it looks like Apartheid. She explained, No its based on Languages.
During segregation years in the USA, my grandfather said the congregations were divided by race. He said the brothers advised them that the brothers would be attacked if everyone of all races sat together in the segregated south, and once forced segregation took place, some whte jw brothers left the organization. That’s the closest example of what’s you mentioned.
You're not imagining this. The Jehovah’s Witnesses organisation as a whole is racist and depends on it to grow its reach.
They have racist articles on the website about why black people smell, calling Africans negroes and backward. Just search this on their website. They even have articles about how they established branches during apartheid South Africa.
Why do I say they depend on it to grow? Racism/colonialism keeps people of colour oppressed, leading to people suffering and resorting to religion as a means of escape. That's why JW is branching out in Africa. There's money to be made.
In 2014/2015 the organisation realised that congregations are still segregated. They developed and executed a programme where congregations would swap and attend meetings, go to field service and gather together to get to know each other to overcome racial divides
We were paired with an Afrikaans congregation (I was from a Sotho and all-black congregation in a rural area). For those that know SA, Afrikaans white people are the most racist and entitled people you will ever meet.
This programme was supposed to run for a few months. Well, it only went on for 2 weeks. The white Afrikaans congregation said that they had to halt the programme because they were so 'busy' right now.
There were white people who outright ignored us and wouldn't greet/shake hands with us when we visited their congregation 😂. That's when I started realising that something was very off here.
But don't let this put you off from visiting SA (for those reading this from outside SA). The rest of the country is so beautiful and we are so friendly ❤
We’ll be talking about this is our next video. They used to do this in the south in the US back when black people were going through segregation
Please do. There's so many people of colour who need to be made aware of about this religion, how it truly started and how they are viewed. Especially with the current political climate in America.
Speaking of apartheid. There was a Disney channel movie called “color of friendship” about African American teens against apartheid. The movie came out over 20 years ago and thanks to social media, South Africans are just now telling us, not only did they not see it, they never even heard of the movie and think it was banned in South Africa.
🌴🌺 I love how you bring up reading a scripture but not the one before or after. I would read on after the scripture and it would have nothing to do with what he was talking about 🤷🏻♀️
Hey!!! Brothers can wear beards now!!!😂😂
What about Raymond Victor Franz, a member of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, Book, Crisis of Conscience, as he was Disfellowshipped?
I woke up from JW early (late teens), then I woke up from religion because none of it made sense, period. There’s a shred of some truth to what JWs teach like pagan holidays and how the Catholic Church basically took over the holiday season that used to be Saturnalia and now Christmas, which to be honest with you made me research further and this led me on the path to being non-religious (atheist/agnostic) if you like labels.
Same with us. I woke up and was curious about Muslims and then after learning they were bogus too I just threw away the whole religion idea. And then the whole idea of the invisible man in the sky idea
History is very important. It’s the whole reason they claim to not celebrate Christmas and other holidays. History of it that god doesn’t like 🙄
I hated the videos from Africa because how are you building all these studios and buildings yet you are asking us to pray for their living situation? I was mad for a long time until I could not take it anymore.
Facts!! Over there taking money from those people and selling them dreams
it's like the matrix!!!!!
Definitely the matrix!
Wait how were you guys living together and not in trouble? The elders used to spy on my husband and I in person and online when we were dating
We were already basically inactive and it was during COVID..they had bigger things to worry about
That’s when we were started dating and I was just beginning my “Bible study” I went through 3 teachers because notta damnnn thing about the blood doctrine makes any kind of sense if you’ve gone to medical school 😜 and I kept saying “noooo that’s not right…or that or that!” On top of it we were completely spied on by the elders in person 🕵️ so that’s why I was wondering how you did it. They even spied on our social media accounts. To a “worldly person “ I was like “What kind of cult nonsense is this? Like what is happening right now?” It wasn’t until our honeymoon I read the rest of the Bible study book and said 🏀🗑️💥 BIG FAT NOPE 👎
In one of your videos you both mentioned you’ve faded. Have you both prepared yourselves for the time when someone sees your videos and outs you? If so, how have you emotionally prepared yourself to deal with that and all the crazy that will come your direction because of it? You will be labeled apostate and that’s one thing an X can ever really come back from right? Have you mentally and emotionally prepared for that? If so how? Maybe you can do a video about that. Because no matter how much emotional and mental prepping one does I believe there still will still be the unexpected overwhelming feelings that are going to flood back that are going to be hard to deal with. And some people’s ( closer to heart) reactions. Can you ever really fully prepare?
I don’t think you can every FULLY prepare for anything. It’s really just something you can try your best at. But we are well aware of the risk we have taken and what comes along with it. We do these videos for a reason. People need to hear about the religion and need to understand that there is life after a cult. The way we have prepared is by constantly staying in perspective of reality. We are all in control of how we handle things. We don’t give the org power to take the happiness away from our lives. A thing will only have power over you if you allow it to. The organization is not our lives 🤷🏽♀️ and whoever is not okay with that is not our problem, it is theirs
btw: That elder answered your question wrong, although it's one that the society has taught them to be aware of. When you asked, "Why can't JWs take blood", you mentioned that the elder particularly highlighted the safety aspect of not taking blood transfusions. Well, the WTS has printed a number of times it's NOT the primary or scriptural reason why JWs don't take blood. The WTS has said it's because of the sanctity of life and that life is in the blood. Although, they have confused JWs by loving to say, as a side point, blood has many diseases in it. Of course, these days, because of testing, blood is safer than ever! So many elders just go for the low hanging fruit when answering questions and they don't keep up with science and the news.
none of it is biblical
The complete truth includes fulfillment of prophecy..
Without the phenomena of prophecy..its half a truth.
Something to say to a whitnesd (u know in other countries some KH dont shun. Look it up.)
This is a good one!
Jw is all the way cap!!!!!!
Sure is!
I asked someone was the 144,000 Israelites. Was Jesus, the 12 disciples and Paul Israelites.
the 144,000 are the twelve tribes of Israelites because they will be a part of the witnessing of Jesus along with the two witnesses from heaven and the big angel on the waters. This is a man made religion and the 144,000 has nothing to do with an American made religion called the JW's. When you're in a cult everything becomes about the cult, that goes for any cult.
Remember that the Sin brought all this mess about Racism. SATAN didn't tell Eve the consequences of Sin, being as GOD knowing Good and Evil and it's Consequences. As it is said the day you eat of... you will surely Die.
Proverbs 26:22 .What your guys are offering to give hope to people?.All about Negativity..At least the people you are slandering have the courage to go from house to house,door to door to declare their faith.They are so confident that they have the absolute truth..1peter2:1.slandering in the Bible is sin which is preceded by another sin which Jesus mentioned in Mathew 7:1-5
You mean People going door to door selling dreams and tricking them into joining a cult 😂
Amen 😂 @@AwakenTruths
Honey if you decided to not do the door to door thing, how long do you think you would last in this corporation? Be honest with yourself for once a J.W doesn't go house to house because they want to, they're forced to. Everything is about manipulation. You talk about how people shouldn't slander but what do you all do all day long talking about Christendom. What about not having any compunction about telling someone you don't even know that their loved one isn't in heaven? What kind of crap is that as if that's any of your business but you're going to make it your business right? If i talk to J.W's on the trail near our house some are fairly nice but some have pride slathered all over their faces.
Like the matrix. Blue pill
Lol Africans was the original people? Still wrong people.
Show me two white people making a brown child and I’ll show you real 7 dollar bill
Some experts believe the Khoi and san people in Africa are the original people and some believe Botswana is where the garden of Eden located. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but that’s the theory.
JWs and Mormons get So mad about all the apostates out here…. But I think that it’s good that people are out here sharing truths & personal experiences about these cults. And I absolutely love that I found you guys.🫶🏽☺️😎💖✨💯
