@@DiffiCULTChildhood Fortunately Mark was away in Newfoundland then Ministerial School most of the time. But man, when he came home to San Diego to visit it was like Jesus entering Jerusalem. He was the CENTER of attention, and was treated like a celebrity on the red carpet. It was quite creepy. The congregation lost their ever-loving minds when he was accepted to MTS, like supporters of a politician who just got elected President or something. Every home visit he would pour over his WT memorabilia collection, and we were, of course, subjected to slide shows of his latest accomplishments. When he started partaking I had a LOT of questions. It was all explained away that Jehovah had to replace "some who had fallen away". What? Baptized in 1989, drifted away in the early 2000's so I really didn't have much contact with him, but for his brief visits until his folks moved from SD to Santee in 97 I think. His Dad was super nice, his Mom, also nice but super judgemental. Don't get me started on his uncle. Mom worshiped the ground Mark walked on. That was weird too.
To all former Jehovah's Witnesses who may decide to return to the cult, I would say, "Don't go back to the cult, no matter how much or what the current Jehovah's Witnesses might say to draw you back. It would be like a pig going back to the mud. Thank you and Rebecca for sharing this eye-opening video of your experience in that cult.
My sister texted me to invite me to the memorial. I've been struggling since then on saying more to her, from asking to stop texting me period to reminding her I hate their religion. And I end up doing nothing and wishing I would.
its a push/pull situation, just be honest with what you want and own it and stick to it. there is no real love in that cult. my family was the same to me and 6 decades later they still hate me for not being a witness.....i lived my life and am happy regardless of having no relationship with my family
Watchtower is crumbling. Watchtower's END is near. Nobody cares about the Jehovah's Witness DOOMSDAY CULT. Watchtower is very insignificant on a large scale. The members still stuck in will literally see Watchtower abandoned them. It's going to be a very sad situation.
JW childhood does suck!! And when the parents get divorce cause one mate decides to fade the JW fake religion then encouraged divorce. Things have changed & another way to tear up kid s life and families!! I had miserable childhood like all other JW children.I use to think why can t I still have childhood friends,,,,but nope JW had big clique at KH (did not want me) and not allowed to be friends with worldly children or even my blood cousins. Ugh! 20 years ago I faded away and move to another town...glad I did!!
Same... had dozens of blood cousins that I knew in name only. Never got the benefit of having a large family & now so many of them have passed away without me getting to know them, it's SO hard not to be chronically angry! You are not alone! -F
Rebecca is so sweet. Thank you guys for your content. I grew up in the cult. I so understand everything you say 100 percent. The fact you divorced each other and still have a great friendship shows it was not the worst thing in the world but maybe even a blessing. A good friend is a treasure
We are not friends. I don't make friends with those who think differently than me. 😝🤣 Really good videos. I was never in a religious cult, so these videos don't speak to my the way they might to other JW's, but I am still amazed and heartened by you and Fallon's determination and courage to make them. Keep up the great work. PS. Hey Rebecca!!! (wave)
I was told to return cause I am mentally unstable. I am lone woman who has moved to differ jobs in differ states to get a job. Oh yes divorced too but morally good person..not had sex or dated in years!!!.
Well the good news is that Jesus is Lord God Almighty clothed in unsinful humanity and He is the author of *eternal life* to all who trust Him alone for salvation 💝💝💝. Jesus paid for all the sins of all the world at the cross (past, present, and future). That payment is put to your account when you have believed on Christ alone for salvation 🌹❤️💕💕💗💐. *This means that saving repentance is realizing that you are a sinner deserving of God's just punishment in Hell and turn (repent) from whatever you trusted in before, if indeed you trusted in anything; to trusting in the person and finished work of Christ alone for salvation.*

I’m confused, are you guys atheists now? JWs don’t have the truth, but I am confused what you guys do believe. And as you guys are “friends” now, kinda sad you gotta divorce. This dynamic is odd, and seems the baby was thrown out with the bath water honestly.
lol yeah we just got married too young. We make better friends than spouses. I’m an atheist, and Rebecca has said she is too. But my usual podcast partner, Falon is a Christian. -Jason

I'm amazed at the MASSIVE amount of our "friends" who are waking up.
What a huge relief.

Wow you must have some stories.

Thank you Rebecca for being our guest. I appreciate your insights and perspective.
Any time! Thanks for having me!😊

Witnesses forget that even Job's wife cursed Jehovah and she wasn't kicked out! She was even as blessed as Job was!
Oh yeah.. I totally forgot about that. What the heck?! Yo.
Great guys!
Pleaae please send my love and condolences to Fallon and all the family for the loss of their loved one❤
Thank you sweet friend! That means more than you know! -F 🥹🩷

@@astridmiller7938 I left in 2007 and never went back. I have plenty of experience. I'm still always shocked it affects me so much.

Hi Mike!🙋🏻♀️
What nice things you said. Also so supportive for someone who has never been in a cult. Thank you!
Tactics, tactics.
The Jehovah’s Witness religion is not the right organization for people who tend to question things.
Once i learned the 4 noble truths and 8 fold path of Buddha i cant unlearn that,the truth does not change
I was told to return cause I am mentally unstable. I am lone woman who has moved to differ jobs in differ states to get a job. Oh yes divorced too but morally good person..not had sex or dated in years!!!.
They like to say things about mental health, pretty crazy considering they are brainwashed 😂
I am glad you and wife have each other!

the JW`s came from the Christodelpians a metamorphasis transition Russel copied the teaching of Dr John Thomas
Jesus became obedient and perfect after death
its a transition the more you learn your opinion will change
😂you are lucky you got to date for 18months, my m.i.l put her foot down at 4 months, i kid you not.
That made me laugh AND cry! 🤣😭
