I woke up as a kid, and I knew something was wrong. I didn’t get real information until I got grown, but when I did I knew I was right all along.
Something in your spirit knew something wasn’t right the whole time
Woke up to which way between this 2 ????? Mathew 7:13-14.

Alot of people who are "waking up" are being called out by Christ.
Many of them hear the Son calling out, "Follow Me!"
Jesus wants to lead all TO the Father, and AWAY FROM false Jehovah of Watchtower.
If YOU are not hearing His voice, you should asking..why not?😢
@@vusimngomezulu2500
Not to "which way," but "to whom"...
The answer is Jesus.
You can't serve Jesus and the Watchtower.
I was D/FD in 2021 at age 74 , I was recuperating from Cancer in diagnosed in 2019. I took the opportunity of studying my religion in good faith whilst recuperating . I then had some questions as a result, and was discussing with a "Elder Friend" certain aspects. Next thing I was D/FD for dispensing apostate ideas.
I’m so sorry for both experiences: your health and the betrayal of the supervisor (I mean elder).
Just hope you get well in health and find peace and forgiveness to this elder that he is just following what he thinks it’s correct.
Be safe, follow medical instructions and be happy! We are many waking up and most of us pray for many more to wake up and find their happiness!
Wow that is crazy but I’m glad you were still able to escape
Sorry to hear about your medical.condition. Happy you left. Stay as healthy, as happy and as stress free as you can.
I would be interested in knowing what apostate ideas you were accused of dispensing and how you were doing it.
Members for the most part do not get removed for private conversations that could be construed as apostate.
During my convalescence after Cancer treatment, I took the opportunity of really studying my Religion with good intent. One question that had always bothered me was that all but dedicated witness's would be exterminated, was incorrect. I questioned the almost divine status bestowed on the GB(I was Baptised in 1969} and had never seen or heard of them except as a few anointed people who were guided by Jehovah. After the first Broadcast I ever had seen, about Birthdays, where the Presenter downright lied to the Kid. This was in a brothers house by invitation, where I outrightly said." That guy lied" .Blood Transfusions, of and on, then particles. This was made clear went I had my Cancer Operation by the Anesthetist, who kindly said," It is unlikely that you will need blood. I respect your right to refuse blood, however are you aware that your declaration allows you to have all the components of a sandwich's pieces , but you may not put it together to eat it". WOW! he also said the Medical staff including himself have been so very saddened and affected, watching children die, the terrible sight of the parents , after the death, who the generally felt so guilty ,knowing it was the wrong choice. That " Friend" reported mr to the Body
I forgot about that part, but keeping the friends living in fear is one of the ways they keep mind control. After I left, I remember taking a shower and closing my eyes and not being afraid. It happened without me thinking about it. That’s when I realized how in fear I was living.
I felt so much guilt about not officially making a letter of disassociation. I’m so glad I never did; I don’t owe them anything.
Facts, you don’t owe them an explanation
In my case, I never believed to write a letter. Following an org rule! I didn’t do a letter when I left catholism when I change to JW, why should si now.
It doesn’t bother me if they keep me in the inactive file as long as Watchtower leaves me alone and my awakened husband SS nd and children !
Warm hugs and enjoy the best life ever: being a better person every day!
Individuality is shunned upon within the Jehovah’s Witness Congregation
You Owe Jehovah your life what is that worth
Your video is very wholesome, my wife left me because I woke up years ago and she always tells our children that I won't enter Paradise. Being a witness is very toxic for family members outside your beliefs
I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope that they wake up one day and realize you were right about everything.
Need to congratulate both! I woke up by the end of 2018. My husband in 2020 (pandemic time) we have faded. Later that year my oldest daughter woke up! And this year, I’m so happy to say that my other daughter and her “elder” husband woke up!
And while we talk as a family about this, we realize that now our focus is to be better human beings everyday! And respect each others path and thoughts.
And now we are happier as a family than when we were JWs! Not everything is about preaching, meetings, studying, positions and worst of all: the criticism and judging and gossiping is no longer in our conversations !
Is about US as individuals, our real personalities and we love eachother for what we are not what we do!
Love your new channel and hope that many other JW continue waking up and find your channel!
Keep it up!
And as I always say:
DOWN WITH THE TOWERRRR!!!
Greetings from Puerto Rico!!
That’s a great story! I’m happy to hear that the family woke up one by one and now everybody gets to be themselves without walking on eggshells. The “chariot” is finally slowing down
I love your story❤
I’m so happy you have your family together. The pandemic was the greatest thing that happened to the JW organization.
Enjoy your family and your new life 👏🏼👏🏼👊🏼
@@susanheidemann4248 thank you so much for your wishes!
Hope you are doing good too going thru this awakening process that it’s not easy!
Warm regards!
I jumped the gun and started commenting like I’m watching a live stream. Everything you both said is facts. Y’all need to do a live so we can talk! Lol I walked away 2021. The mental journey has been difficult because the anger lingered so long. Watching exJW videos has been very helpful. Thank you for sharing!
The anger is definitely part of waking up! And after that you find the peace and acceptance
Yes girl!!!
Facts I've been dealing with that for 23yrs
Hi yall! Always happy to watch your videos! Everything you say about that faith is true. They are definitely a cult. See y'all on the next one, ✌️, Love, Janine Smiley🙂😀🙃😉😇🫠🌹🌺
I agree with you!! We definitely need a support group! Lol
Your content is great. I woke up about 4 years ago in my early 40s I'm now 45. Seems like a lot of ppl are waking up and many between 14 and 50
Thanks guys ❤ i woke up about 10 mths ago. So far we have successfully faded..❤
Welcome to the other side! You escaped the matrix
My husband shared this video with me. We both had that feeling of wanting to write a letter. Thank you for sharing your personal experience. It helps to know there are many of us in the same situation. We both have faded and haven't been to a meeting since 2019. We are still detoxing from a whole life of being controlled with fear and manipulation. Thankfully we are a better couple now that the org is no longer causing divisions in our marriage.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you were able to take in some information from our video. You don’t owe them a letter or an explanation because they don’t control you two anymore. Much peace and success to your journey!
Divisions…..wow I’m quit sure they fucked up my marriage too.
Realizing God is not religion has changed my life. Proud of you both awakening. Spirituality and Consciousness has NO RESTRICTIONS 💪🏾🔥
So glad for your redemption in your youth. Your understanding is spot on. Your victory is sweet to listen to.
Thank you for watching!
This is the first video I've seen from you guys and i enjoyed it very much. You guys have a great chemistry together😊 I woke up a little over a year ago and felt a lot of the same things y'all expressed. Being a JW is all based on empty words and numbers, no real heart or sincerity in the structure/worship and i think people who are genuine in their motives eventually wake up. Thanks for your video!😁
Welcome to the other side! We Appreciate the positive feedback!
I love the encouragement you both are providing for individuals that need it… Im a Believer/ Christian and I never understood why my 2 JW friends in school couldn’t go to church with me or even come to my birthday parties also We had to be secret friends from their parents.. my mom tried to help me understand… those friends eventually left the JW religion as we got older (their parents too) and they FINALLY came to youth Sunday with me at my church… they loved it 😊 so glad we got to fellowship together before we all left for college
I am soooooo thankful to have found your channel. Thank you for making a channel to help others understand. My sister is a JW and I am trying to understand her... I have not saw her since 2008. She calls me randomly and is usually drunk or really buzzed. Her very physically abusive husband doesn't speak to us via phone, and my niece hates me because of all the hateful things they have probably brainwashed her with. She's has chosen Me out of my 2 sisters to refuse to speak to??? Our parent's passed away and my sister never showed up... We were all so close at one point but things changed in 2004 for the worst. My nephew recently had a wedding...She didn't show up. I subscribed to try to understand her and to hear your journey. GOD BLESS YOU... thank you for sharing this knowledge. Its hard even talking to her sometimes so I don't answer the phone at times. The conversation is so phony or just crazy. I'm so disappointed at her.
My daughter and wife are very much drenched in these lies,their second baptism.
When the elder's called my daughter doing the meeting
They asked my daughter a question
She said you did this
I'm not defending you
I felt so betrayed
When I was disfellowshipped
After two h years
I called her
She said "why are you calling me,you're disfellowshipped
You're not supposed to be calling here
Strong crystal clear solid points ..I was a Jws for 25 years and everything you saying is 200% soooo many of us can relate to everything you saying
Another good video… when the FOG(fear, obligation & guilt)…lifts life gets better & better….
Once the weight is off our shoulders we get to finally be ourselves
Thank you guys for the testimony! Welcome to the light!!
Thank you for the feedback!
Words like Condition & brainwashing suit perfectly what people go through. when being indoctrinated into any religious organization (it’s so scary and sad that they do this children). It takes courage to ask questions. It takes courage to walk away from obvious destructive mental manipulation and habits. It takes courage to think for yourself. I congratulate both of these human beings for having the courage to set themselves free. Because only they could’ve set themselves free. By applying reason, logic, empathy & doing research. Also by applying non-biased observations and most of all “critical thinking“. Welcome to YOUR freedom.
Man I felt and thought the same about religion after leaving the organization. I know my younger brother tripped out when I told him that I lost all faith in the Bible. A lot of the stories in it just don't make sense. Great to watch you and your wife share your stories!
The fact that the book starts with a talking snake is crazy. Now if that goes over someone’s head they’re in for a treat for the rest of the book
@@AwakenTruths compared to every other creation story the Bible is the most logical some animals are capable of speech this doesn't really disprove it
The original bible is still the word of God but a organization is made up of human beings so put your faith in God and his word not in men.
I have read the Bible through several times and I love the wisdom it brings and peace. I find the narratives fascinating and it has never undermined my faith in God. It doesn't go 'over' everyone's head. Each to their own
I remember as a child loving music, and AS A CHILD I wrote a lil song about loving god😂🤦🏻♀️and my parents screamed at me because it was satanic for me to write songs for god, all the songs have to come from watch tower… definitely traumatized me. I have lots of more stories
You guys crack me up! Love your energy! 😂 One of the major reasons I lost faith after growing up JW and “woke up” was their ego based importance of status and titles. Appreciate your encouragement and message of the possibility of peace for those that are still conflicted. 🙏❤️🩹
We just dropped a video on how crazy those titles are. Salute to you for waking up
I can tell that you both have done your research and you both can express yourselves very well. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to part three. ❤
I love you too, both of you have such energy. You compliment each other, you get your listening audience to understand and dig deep into their mind. To get the true understanding, thank you both of you. I wish I met you too I had not even know that there were people on social media talking the truth about the truth, no idea. This past couple months woke me up. I left the organization years ago, but somehow you still attach because of your family hearing you too. Talk about the good, the bad and ugly about the watch tower. Bringing out these true stories. Thank God that you're still young, but some of us that got over 50. It's kind of hard cause we depend on friends in the truth. Keep it coming, I am so glad that you 2. Along with JT and lady C. And there are a few others that's talking about waking up and how they left. Thanks both of you keep it coming. My God, thank you.❤😊😊❤
Appreciate the support! JT and Lady C def helped us with our waking up, it’s good to see so many people waking up
I personally felt a lot of guilt after waking up. I had family and friends young and old waiting for “paradise” to have children, build a home, etc. I still feel so sad for them. A lot of my old witness friends never even went to college because they think the “end is near”. It’s so sad.
I agree, It’s extremely sad. There’s so much talent as well that is wasted within that organization. It’s awful. And if you can’t just go and tell them everything you learned because then you are just the crazy apostate
Yup, I desperately wanted to have a family so just "looked ahead" to the "new world" and was so scare mongered against bringing kids into this awful world. I just gave up on it. So so happy and glad I didn't let it stop me, I'm now sitting with my beautiful 5 month old daughter 🙏🏼🥰
Thank you for sharing!❤
Apostate greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
We have the real truth now. Thank you for watching!
Thank you, guys, for sharing your story. I am 10 months out and fully deconstructed. My waking up was so scary in the beginning, but well worth it in the end. My life is finally mine! I'm so very happy and proud of you guys that tears of joy and love fills my eyes and heart. Keep sharing your story with others and your light will shine very vividly. I send my love 😊 ❤
Welcome to the other side! It can be tough in the beginning but now you get to experience real freedom!
Thanks for sharing Great video
Appreciate the feedback! Thank you for helping us wake up with your channel and insight.
One of the reasons I left is for the fact, that the only reason I was invited to someone house was to bring a dish. I was alone in the religion and I was not really cared for. So I did not lose anything when I faded away. However, I felt that God had left me. For years I felt that way.
Right now, I am the closest to God like never before. 🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻🕊
So happy for you!
Every word they are speaking is TRUE! It’s wild coming out and realizing all these things! Thank you both for speaking on this topic. 💕 🙏🏽
Of course!! Thanks for supporting
So courageous!!!!!!!! Greetings from Sweden! 🇸🇪
Appreciate the feedback!
Looking forward to the religion vs spirituality video. I believe in personalized spirituality. Not blindly following others. It's so important to personalize everything. Take the bits and pieces that I can believe in and putting them all together is so freeing for me.
That’s literally the key to life. Spirituality is a universal thing and religion is a man made thing. Only certain people are able
To understand that
You have encapsulated the Witness experience so well
Y’all are extra dope!!! That theocratic ministry school paid off😂Your speech is so eloquent!
Thank you 😂 that’s one of the few benefits after all
So many bad things happend to me, because I wanted to be humble and couldnt stand up for my self (only for my religion). So I treated me last, the others do the same with me! I do not felt what I needed! After almost 2 years I became aware of that. I always tryed to put others first and was so much exhausted. And then to hear: „you should do more and you will receive blessings…“ so I became a pioneer. But I looked around and saw a turn around world: happy family people, they got married, have fun, have kids, by houses, make it beautiful inside, make money and they are JW too, but not so active,.. less commentary, less service etc. and I asked myself could this be Satan? How twisted my mind was! How crazy! Like Satan would try to steal them from the congregations with blessings!? With good jobs and a happy family? I became sick and ill, physically and mentally. You two are so strong. You say you learned good things from it. I feel the same way. I became a better person. But I wish, I could choose this way freely and not because I was brainwashed into a Illusion! The thing that makes me sad and bitter is, they believe in their „truth“ and I can not make them responsible for anything! I carry all the responsibility for what I ve done! Its horrible for me! I would like to share the responsibility with the organisation!
The Freedom when you leave ,smells sweet and feels like life
Thankyou so much guys. ❤
Everything you said was so true.
So glad you took the time to research !
Wishing you both a great future, it took me fifty years
to research, you will help many with your kind balanced
approach. 🥰🥰
It's never too late! I'm happy to hear that you woke up!
I’m proud of y’all. Freedom 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
You two are so sweet and beautiful. I am so glad you have each other.
Thank you!
Thank goodness you two found out early . Your videos are really going to help and save people a lot of suffering.
Thank you! We hope to impact others that have been through this
This is a really interesting story, thank you for so candidly sharing! I have family members who are JW who I only recently saw again this summer after more then 10 years.
That is sad smh they don’t even realize how much of their life is going to waste
I’m so glad you met with your family after 10 years! Yes, that’s another fact: being a JW, we pushed family members away, we loose so many memories that we could’ve built, but good news now: it’s time to reconnect and those family members and old friends always have open arms!
Be happy and enjoy life- the best life ever!!!
Y’all are a COOL couple! So genuine! Great Work!!!
Appreciate it!!
Thank you both, great testimony.
Glad you broke free.!
Appreciate the feedback!
You don't have to believe in religion to believe in God. I don't believe in religion but without God, all fails...
Great commentary
Revelations 13th chapter
3 ,4 , & ,5. Plus Jehovah is a Reptillion. Plus that so called Wite Boy never lived..and as a Great Grandfather at soon to be 73 years young im very greatful to be alive to see and hear you brother and sister.thank you so very much for sharing your experiences with the false teachings of the Jehovahs Witnesses . I am an ex Christian Minister of the Jehovahs Witnesses and Enough is Enough .I Am that I Am ..Namaste 👏 ITS GOOD TO BE ALIVE AT THE END OF THE GOD GAME 😊🎉❤
Entering you both said was sooooo true! I'm still facing challenges from my mom and brother who are still witnesses! My brother was just reinstated in Germany with his new wife and my mom rubs it in my face but I'm happy living my life and it is just so unacceptable in my mom eyes and brother doesn't talk to me at all but I'm cool with that too!!🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ oh well, moving right along!
It’s all part of being in the cult. They shame us for being normal humans and feel like their doing right by “God” when they are really doing right by a business called Jehovahs Witnesses. Keep living your life and being free!
Grateful for this, fam. Real talk. 😌🫶🏾🪴
Friend until you get then they act as if you never existed..
“Friend” to an extent
I am so glad i found your channel! Love you guys!
Thank you for the support!
Amazing how our life is under control by so many other than just the JWs.
You're two lovely young people, called out by God to do something greater, maybe in part helping others to transition between the organisation and the wider world, as it is so shocking for so many. My experience with JW is that they are mostly genuinely nice and helpful people who still carry some kinda idealism and wanna share the message of 'eternal paradise' with everyone... Sadly the organisation that feels so much like a sanctuary to good people in the beginning, then becomes the very thing that ends up suffocating them... which leaves them in so much confusion. Mind control by fear in whichever context is NOT OF GOD, He wants people to step into their own self authority as a sovereign spiritual being having a human experience. Question everything and choose what resonates with you personally, there's NO ONE WAY THAT FITS ALL, everyone's journey with God is different and highly individual. Keep up the positive vibe, you're rocking it!
Appreciate the feedback! A lot of the people have good intentions, but they're just mislead
Wow, your videos have really helped me personally upon leaving the organisation. I still have my days when I'm angry and upset but this totally helps put it all into context 🙌🏼💕
Just discovered yall. My 2nd time seeing you and so upbeat exposing how things go are handled in the organization. You have to critically think about things that they call "NEW LIGHT" theres no such thing as new light the bible doesnt change, GREAT VIDEO
Thank you Jungle Juuse. Great discussion. JW/WT is nonsensical.
And that’s a vast understatement.
Thank you for the feedback!
I love you two. You are so real and "normal". I enjoyed your 2 vids about leaving JWs and your comments really resonated with me. I have been completely out for many many years and just in the last year I have begun to reach out to other Ex JWs. To watch the videos of those who are out for whatever reason.
The video that struck me the most, though, was the series with Leah Remini and Scientology. I learned so much, but was truly startled to see that she had included an episode at the end concerning JWs and the devastation that was wrought on the ex-JW guests she spoke to and it hit home so hard.
I have not stopped researching since then.
Thank you for your well thought out and extremely well spoken/explained information.
Looking forward to more from you two. ❤❤
Thank you for watching! It’s dope to see others that have been through similar situations
Thank you! Continue what you are doing!
Thank you for the feedback!
Keep your channel going, we love you
Greetings from Kenya ❤. Thank you for this
Appreciate the feedback!
Love you guys! I took a more spiritual path also when I left. Totally my own opinion, but I think God isn't a religion and doesn't care what you call him/her, just love & help one another. I have friends that are atheists, too, totally get that. We all have our own journeys.
With all my "control" triggers, I finally found a local church that accepts EVERYONE (gay, purple, etc.) and does a lot of community outreach programs to volunteer for. Before every service, they say "take what you will, ponder the rest" 😊 If I miss a month of Sundays, no one is calling me, but next time genuinely says "we missed you!" (took me awhile to not get triggered with that one 😂)
You are both excellent communicator!
Now that you’ve woke up. I pray that you two achieve all of your hopes and dreams. Go get that money, be creative, and explore and have fun. God is the I am. He created this world and people to experience this thing we call life. You don’t need the org to experience God at his highest! I’m excited to see what’s next for you guys!!!
OAN: you guys have a Cali/West Coast vibe. Y’all should make a visit out here soon!!!
Unbelievable!! I’m happy for both of you! God Bless!
Thank you for the feedback!
I recently discovered your channel and loving your content! You guys are so cute and have such a great dynamic on camera!
I was raised in a Witness family and it was horrible! I am free! It took years of unprograming. But I’ve made it to clarity.
Congrats on that! It’s no better feeling than being free
I'm so happy you guys are making these videos i just got disfellowshiped the congregation last year even though i didn't do nothing it was a lie but i thank God since i was 13 i was already done with them im 21 now
You guys are speaking so much truth!
Great message!!!!!
You tell your story so well! If I didn't know anything about JW, I would be educated. Bless yall.
Thank you! We try to explain it as if someone has never heard of it
I agree with everything yall said in this video
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for your video. I am still coping with all the mental rules from JW's and am feeling regrets from past decisions. My father was disfellowshiped and was not allowed to see him. He has now passed away and the guilt I have is very heavy. JW orginazation had manipulated my life for 45+ years.
No worries! They teach us that once we pass away that we no longer exist but that is far from true. Your father understands and forgives you because you only did what you thought was the right thing. I suffered from the same guilt when my grandmother passed away. I was exhausted from the meetings and lifestyle and began to distance myself from the family while she was sick. she kept trying to call and check on me and encourage me to go to the meetings but I was mentally exhausted and didn’t feel like explaining why I was missing meetings. We reconnected right before she passed and the guilt haunted me for years but I understand that she forgives me for it and has helped me get out of the religion. Maybe your father is helping guide you to real freedom.
@@AwakenTruths Thank you for your soothing words. I really like your last sentence and will hold onto it.
@@matthewmundy5805 most definitely. Much peace and success on your journey of freedom
missed this video. Thx
I’m loving this! Thanks for sharing. JW destroyed my family and I lost so many “friends” and I’m so glad to see you guys doing this. It’s so funny to hear the terminology of that cult coming from someone on TH-cam and saying things that I have felt or do feel now.
Leaving the church improved my mental health 1000%
I was in for 49 years. Indoctrination started for me at 3 years of age. As an elder a did some bad stuff for the watchtower. I have been out for 10 years now. What is my reward for all those years serving a corporation? Armageddon and judicial committee nightmares. I wake up in a sweat. Some of the judicial committees I was involved in went against my conscience. But I was still a yes men for the corporation. I hate the watchtower. By the way, I have not had contact with family for many years now. No such thing as soft shunning with my watchtower family. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Greetings from Colorado. 🙋
I’m sorry to hear that! I hope you can find some peace in life after dealing with such a dangerous cult
You are the cutest couple! I am so glad you both woke up when you are young. I was born in to the JW’s in 1960. Many years were wasted my self esteem was ruined. My whole family was in . Three generations, J W’s are never your friend. After leaving I will never go to a church. You develop your own relationship with God. I have many stories to tell . The CSA is horrible at Watch Tower.
Thank you! And that’s a true story, that whole experience turned us away from all religions completely
I've been watching your videos a lot the past few days, I really enjoy the energy you both bring. This was a video I needed to see today, I've been dealing with the emotions of leaving JW. I feel like I know it's the right thing to do in my heart, to just leave. a small part of me feels like wait what if I'm wrong and I'm committing the biggest sin, so it brings some fear but like I said I feel in my heart I know the truth and this new truth is not the same as the JW truth. It also makes me feel a little lost, like when it comes to praying, who am I even praying to ( what god, what name) am I supposed to change what I say since JW have their own way/words you need to say in prayer. I was born in to JW and I have to say I grew up with such fear in life, like I was always waiting to die, embarrassed of our ways, esp in school being singled out when it came to things like the pledge of allegiance, having the rest of the class look at you like what's her problem, she thinks she is to good or what..is how I felt. I'm starting to feel like you both and it being more about a spiritual thing for me.
Congrats on waking up and escaping! We have a ton of videos on a lot of topics that will help you because we all went through similar feelings. It’s a bit of relief knowing you don’t have to abide by those crazy rules but then it’s the feeling of shock, feeling lost and alone that follows it. We’ve all been there and we can honestly tell you it gets better overtime and you’ll be fine. You’re going through a spiritual awakening. You can look up videos on TH-cam to help walk you through the experience because it’s a common thing.
I think they know what they are doing, exactly what they are doing.
We ready for part 3!!!
Working on part 3 this weekend!
Keep it up❣
The law of assumptions was what woke me up last year. Then i really knew the fear really instilled in us its pathetic. I hit rock bottom i had many questions that they couldn't answer its just God that showed me the light. I am God tho. Pure consciousness. I listen to my heart and intuition exclusively period 💅🏼
We approve this message!! 🙌🏽✨ consciousness= god. Asé
So one day that really hurt me and I could not believe is when I ask my uncle for something and I was a child my uncle had the nerve to tell me because I was not a Jehovah witness, he cannot help me, and from that day forward, I never believed in the organization.
that is crazy! The organization really does come before family
That is right Friend will be a friend.
Omgeeee i did always feel terrible like everyday could be the last day and these dreams of Armageddon. But I don’t feel afraid anymore. I know I’m doing good and a good person and that’s all I can be. I don’t even feel judgmental anymore towards people like I used to
Amen amen. Where in the Bible does it say that? That was my issue. It’s so nice to listen to this.
As JWs, we were called sheep and the elders were referred to as Shepherds. They were “shepherding the flock” 🤦🏽♀️ Looking back now, that’s cringe worthy! Blindly being led without even questioning anything!🤬
THANK GOD YOU’RE FREE!!!
It feels good to be here!
For those who entered from the world (not born in.) You’re talking about the“ Love Bombing” technic.That’s what they do in the beginning. After they have you emotionally & psychologically hooked, and you believe you have all these wonderful, new, loving supportive friends, it stops and you don’t know why. Half the people if not more, that had lured and baited you in move on. You’re always wondering “ok what did I do that I’m not feeling that anymore?” You’ve entered the second phase of receiving constant instruction, nit picking, and criticisms. It becomes an endless life of looking to fix and find that good feeling they baited you with in the beginning. And your entire self worth becomes the approval of others, “the organization.” The org in which they have you psychologically convinced,that its approval means Gods approval.
Love your positive outlook and your charisma❤ so very cool you were able to escape good luck to you and all your endeavours
Thank you for the feedback!
I didn' t write a letter to get, so I didn' t see the need to write one to leave.
that's a fact!
Love your Lady
Once you ask questions you are done. Thats it
I have a few nieces and one of them is at that preteen age where she thinks everybody is her friend.. I had to tell her “them not yo friends.. stay away from bucket heads” she said “what is a bucket head?” I was like “IT MEANS THEM AINT YOU REAL FRIENDS” she was like “those are my friends.. don’t make fun of them!” I told her “I know bucket heads when I see them .. don’t find out the hard way!” 🤷🏾♂️.. young people really think they friends but it’s head azzery and bucket head activity happening in the background.
Unfortunately everybody is brainwashed into what to think and what to deny so it’s like talking to a wall trying to convince simple logic smh
Wow keep going and help those captive in the invisible walls of the W?T
Just a thought on the “letter of disassociation” i could be way out , but personally i feel they document this letter , in case the person who leaves starts a lawsuit against the org at a later date , then the org can claim they aren’t members of the religion. Could be wrong, but personally id advise never playing their game
Yooo I never even thought of it that way 🤯 you might be onto something
Love u guys! I left with my husband too!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😄😄
Thank you for the feedback! Congrats to y’all for escaping!
YOOOO THAT'S WHAT I ALWAAAAYS TALK ABOUT....I KNOOOOOW SOOO MANY JWs THAT ARE DOING ALL TYPES OF STUFF THAT WOULD DEFINITELY GET THEM DISSED ON THE LOW... BUT BE NOT SPEAKING BECAUSE I'M DISSED!!!! LIKE WWWWTTTTFFFF ....GREAT TRUTHFUL VIDEO YA'LL!!! WELCOME TO YOUR FREEDOM...PROUD OF YA'LL STANDING ON WHATS RIGHT.
That’s the truth! I say everybody is doing something, everybody just doesn’t talk to the elders 😂
That’s the crazy part for me. I grew up in it. They made me feel like I was this really bad person. I was suuuuuch a good kid but I always felt like I was walking on eggshells. I felt like I was living a double life like even my personality was bad!!!! It’s crazy!!!! I was disfellowshipped and then also reinstated and the left becoming inactive. Everyone was so hypocritical and manipulative and it wasn’t healthy. I was even in an abusive relationship and I went to the elders and they did noooothing and didn’t come back to “shepherd me” or have comfort! Im soooooooo glad and feel relieved I left. I am still spiritual but I don’t want to be part of an organization that is in your head. I still have my beliefs but still.
I’m sorry to hear that! Unfortunately many of us share the same story of being mistreated in the organization and it drives us out. At least you’re free! It’s so much more to life
People at the Kingdom Hall are like "work friends" if that. You have your regular friends that you hang out with and then you have the work friends, the ones that you still have to watch what you say around or it may get back to the boss.
Y’all are so humble and cute and loving 😊
Thank you!
