My wife is a pregnant JW, and im studying, 😅 i told her that if she loses blood and it jeopardizes her and my son's life during labor i will give her blood, because ill be damned to let both die to then watch a governing body update next month and they get new light regarding blood transfusions, she got quiet, with no protest. Also tell the elders you need money in these economic times, and see what happens. No protest. It's all good in theory but when real life shit happens things get real. She said someone is in trouble for having a gun in their home. I again said so I guess if someone breaks in and assaults you I'm going to stand and watch and call a brother the next day, no I'm protecting you. Again no protest.
Our oldest son married a JW when he was young. He knew that she was a JW, although not a practicing one. He thought he could change her. We warned him. He didn't pay attention. Their marriage has produced two beautiful children and they are being raised JW. Our son is an alcoholic and it affects his family, and breaks our heart, too. The JW do not believe in AA, so our son is now saying he is a JW (on Facebook) and not to us personally. He was raised a Christian and was very active in our church while growing up. We think that he is being brainwashed and thinks that only the JW can help him with alcoholism. We do not know for sure. Pray for us, for him, his wife, and his children, please. I beg you. Btw: her mother, her two brothers, and her sister have left the JW and this gives us hope.
This is upsetting. The elders have no formal training to deal with alcoholism. That is a medical need. They have no formal, professional training to deal with any matters. It’s a group of men that have been appointed based on how many hours they spend in the ministry, do they comment enough at meetings, etc. Then once appointed they are given a book, a manual on how to handle to different situations based off of what the “governing body” has approved. Which is another group of men that call all the shots for the entire organization. It’s a really messed situation and I hope your son gets the help he needs. Lots of people with addictions fall into deep depressions in that religion because they never receive the help they need and are made to feel spiritually weak because they are told they don’t have enough faith. Don’t give up hope. Sending you Christian Love
Don't know where you get the idea that Jw's who have an alcohol problem can not go to AA as that is a lie they encourage people to get help with a problem I think your confused maybe with scientology
I am a recovering alcoholic with a little over 13 years of sobriety. Alcoholism is a deadly disease and I cannot understand why JW is against AA when they do not push any belief system on you. It's about helping your fellow alcoholic to get sober.
Girl, you are mistaken. I think your husband didn’t explain anything to you. JWs pray all the time and we pray through Christ and talk to him and thank him for dying for the mankind. It seems you are just as indoctrinated as he is.
As far as I'm aware they are not against AA if they can help I'm sure it's ok as long as they don't direct against Jehovah's wishes that are laid out in the bible for all to see
My husband was married to me for 11 years and put up with me as a JW raising out 3 kids JW. Bless his heart. I recently found out how "tweaked" we are and decided to leave completely this past Sunday. All I can tell you is that if he married you as a non-JW he is not 100% in. He does have doubts deep down, and there are so many amazing exJW channels here on YT that could help him. I am sooooo sorry, I'm so sorry! I feel your pain just the other way around. Wishing you a lot of patience, hoping your hubby can wake up. It's deeep indoctrination.
Also, Timothy's mother had a Pagan husband and she still respected him. Your husband is not a Pagan. I would suggest you find some common ground and respect your vows if you want to be a good Christian like you indicate.
JWs are subconciously paganis who worship the GB mentally and spiritually , since GB they taught : Since God and Jesus COMPLETELY TRUST the faithful slave , Should we ( you ) do the same ? The same WHAT ? To TRUST the GB COMPLETELY like God and Jesus has FAITH to the GB not the other way around , so God and Jesus are lower status than the GB , that is the implicit message the GB had sent to all jws , 👇🏼 Psalm 146 : 3 Do not put your trust to the princes nir son of man thwre is no salvation We need to obey the faithful and discreet SLAVE to have Jehovah approval ( wt July 15 - 2011 p24) But JESUS say in the Bible : JHON 15 : 15 NWT I no longer call you SLAVES , because a SLAVE DOES NOT KNOW what his master does . But I have called you FRIENDS because i have made known to you all the things i have heard vfrom my Father ▪ THEREFORE ,,,,,,LATER For more than five decades we taught the FALSE DOCTRINES ( July 15 - 2013 page 3 par 3 ) The Governing Body is neither INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE therefore it can ERR in DOCTRINAL MATTER ir in ORGANIZARIONAL DIRECTION ( wt February 2017 page 26 par 12 ) Howc a group of mean's called GB the proclaim GOD and JESUS TRUSTED them COMPLETELY while they are NEITHER INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE ? what does it really mean ? neither GOD notbJESUS hor HOLY SPIRIT ever spoke to GB about anything , thats why they are NOT ISNPIRED NOT INFALLIBLE , Who is the GB then ? FALSE WITNESSES , they are LYING , so strickly and abusively , what does the Bible really say about tge FALSE WITNESS ? PROVERB 21 : 28 NWT A LYING WITNESS WILL PERISH but the man who listens will testify with success Yes they will be perish , it is terrible that the 8 DUST ( Psalm 103 : 14 ) saying GOD AND JESUS TRUST US COMPLETELY , only people with mental issue believe such abusive fantasy is tge GB trust completely to the DUST ? if they are not , why should GOD has lower sense than the GB ? how such God can help mankind ? therefore jws God need millions of peoples help him ,since he can not help himself does it ? is jws paganist ? yes they are , POLITHEISTIC by having GOD and "a god " BIG GOD and little god , Jhon 1: 1 NWT and WOTSHIP GB secretly inside their hearth ,
Im married to a jw ,been married 50 years joined jw in 1963, i woke up to Jesus about 5 years ago. I am faded out of jws ,my wife does the jw zoom meetings twice a week for 2 hours and letter writing one hour , i manage to get to christian church 2 or 3 times a month for 30 min communion service , we have a sort of truce . People at church dont really understand why i cant just publicly leave the jw org .they are shocked by the shunning policy . Im 76 my wife 71. Im so happy to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus christ now .my wife and i still do our bible reading together and pray together , i ask the lord often to guide me .when i first woke up it was the night of the memorial ,i got to thinking about Jesus and the way he suffered for us .i prayed to jesus to show me if i was right to get out of WT ,that night i woke troubled at 3 :16 .on the digital clock .that was my answer .
What a testimony. I’m so happy for you and will pray for your wife. How do y’all pray together/ knowing that you believe in two very different gods? I struggle praying with my husband for that reason
@@sweethoneybee8518 as i said to my wife the name Jehovah has been familiar to christians in the anglican and catholic church for years ,so calling God jehovah does not bother me at all .the WT does not have copyrights on Gods name as in the old king james bible .and american standard version .if we accept the trinity the father son and holy spirit are all God .thanks for reply .
Keep making videos. You are meeting a real need. God has used this situation to grow you up in the Lord and deepen your faith. Two of my family members became JWs forty years ago and that was what made me realize I needed to study my Bible to be able to rightly handle the Word of truth. What the enemy means for destruction God intends for good. God is so good!
I’m an EXJW of 38 years. I know it hurts that you believe he isn’t saved, but he was taught that you are the one who isn’t saved. JWs do not believe once saved, always saved. You’re both praying for the same thing. You’re both convinced you’re right and the other is wrong and that’s what’s wrong with religion. Rather than focus on the kind of humans you are, and live in the present, you’re both worried about all the wrong things. Also, he married “out of the truth” and that means he married a “worldly girl”. There will always be judgement of you and him from the JWs. JWs actually call themselves Christians also, so you’re really deep into the speaking the same exact language with a different accent. JWs do not believe ANYONE but them are true Christians. If you need a resource, I’m here for you.
Hi Wendy- That’s so true…. But in his mind… I’ll just be conscious of nothing. I’ve mentioned to him ….. “sooooo… you think I deserve the same punishment as Hitler? Just conscious of nothing?” 🥲…. In my mind, he will be separated from God from eternity. I’ve often told him “I’d rather go to your version of hell then to be a JW and have no assurance of where I stand with God” 🤷🏼♀️ If you don’t mind me asking- what we’re a few of the things that made you leave the organization?
Hey, I was going to mention the same things to her. I was raised jw. I left at 50yrs old. I waisted my whole life trying to measure up for the Borg. They day I got baptized I was told everything is gonna get harder and worse for you from now on.
@@sweethoneybee8518 why did you married him in the first place? Makes no sense if you want him to be a christian than staying a cult member go to church and refuse to go to his cult or his watchtower meetings or his cult building claiming it's a church stay in your faith your true Christian religion I pray you be the miracle to refuse to join his cult and continue go to yours hopefully that convinces him to leave the Jehovah's witnesses if that doesn't work let him go
@@sweethoneybee8518 I left for sooo many reasons - you can look at my channel as I’m an activist to help others. For the sake of this convo, basically I left for two reasons: 1) their doctrine is wrong 2) it’s a cult.
The real problem is The bible itself comes under the same scrutiny ~~~~~Its a simple childs question ~How do you know what the Bible writers wrote down in the first place is true ~~since the writers are using literary devices ?
Funny how she thinks that a JW husband married to a "Christian" first would have to accept Jesus. ... Does she even KNOW JW doctrine. I would rather see a problem if he wants to leave JWs and their practice of shunning hits them. But maybe her religion / cult does the same. Being a JW is VERY time consuming (several meetings, ministry by preaching the gospel door to door), and if she does not accompagny him to his meetings they cannot even spend that time together. Plus if he takes his cult seriously he will think that she is going to perish during Armageddon, and maybe also the kids ... speaking of which - Are they raised in her belief system or in his.
WAIT A SEC.!!! Jehovahs Witnessess ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IN the Lord Jesus Christ. He is The KING of GODS KINGDOM! He is King ANOINTED BY HIS FATHER AND GOD, JEHOVAH. Listen Folks, heres the deal. The APOSTLE PAUL who was HANDPICKED by Christ himself. Who also wrote 14 books of the Inspired word, (Bible) said unequivocally; BLESSED BE THE FATHER AND "GOD" OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS. So Jesus has a GOD AND THATS WHO JWS WORSHIP!!!!!! So her Husband is SIMPLY WORSHIPPING WHO JESUS WORSHIPS!!!!!! Where as his wife DOES NOT acknowledge GOD AND WORSHIPS THE SON! THATS SIN. GOD DOES NOT SHARE HIS WORSHIP NOT EVEN WITH HIS SON!!! DID THE ISRAELITES (GODS PEOPLE) WORSHIP JESUS? NO. THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW HIM. SHE IS WRONG. Jesus should be deeply honored and followed because all things are subject to him. But WE ARE ALL SUBJECT (INCLUDING JESUS) TO GOD.
Why don't you just forget religion and focus on "earthly things" like your kids and enjoying quality time with each other. Do you realize that apologizing to God for marrying a person of another faith is an insult to your own children?
It’s not about “religion”… it’s about what the truth is … and what it is not. This culture seems to think there are a bunch of “truths” out there- but there is one truth- and that is Jesus… and if they have the wrong Jesus, they do not have the truth. Religion is mad made… this is spirituality. And I do focus my energy and time on my family. It’s impossible to wrap up my outlook on life in one little video- but I assure you my focus is on them. However, I would be a fool not to focus on eternal things… “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 I apologized to God for Marrying my husband because I married him KNOWING God did not want me to. it felt right to apologize for disobeying him. It is not an insult to my children- they are the best thing that has come out of our marriage and I believe God can works all things together for good- like he is doing.
She said Accept Jesus but the VERSION of Jesus she believes ....she believes Jesus is Son of God almighty and also the God almighty basically Jesus is his own father Jehovah ...JWs believe Jesus is not his own father the almighty Jehovah but believe he is the son God sent from heaven to die for humans as a ransom, but he is not the Jehovah of the Old testament......using the analogy of Superman....the evangelicals believe Superman is Jor-el, not Kal-el they believe cause Kal-el came from Krypton and Jor-el is from Krypton ....that means they are the same person so Superman is his father Jor-el
@@moisesbeyond your analogy doesn't work bc your analogy has two different people and doesn't include the essence of GOD. Also the names would be titles or names. So using your analogy the Triune essence of God working in unison would be equivalent to: Before creation it's self, before the cosmos before the angels at the very very beginning existed a void. Within that void resides a powerful, unseen "Jor-el" or creator force. A force with no visual representation, but with a consciousness. That force speaks an audible sound, "Let there be light." Boom. Creation is spoken into existence. First the spiritual realm where the Angels reside, then the cosmos. The Angels can see the visual representation of the Jor-el. They get to know the Jor-el, who's holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el is the spirit and word of the Jor-el. He's spirit and has holds a physical state, too. He looks different from them. They see Kal-el create everything else, including humans. Kal-el makes man in his image and likeness. The Angels see that humans have a spirit and flesh state, just like Kal-el. Kal-el walks among humans who only know him as the Jor-el. It's not until he walks with one of his prophets, after the disobedience of man, in which he reveals that his holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el sets in motion the redemption of man through thousands of year. Until one day he deicides that enough time has passed, he leaves his spirit state with the angels and humbly enters the world through a woman in a fully physicals state and full human. To have the full-human experience and to redeem mankind through his physical death. In his fully human state he is known as Clark Kent. In this state he doesn't hold the Glory of the Jor-el or Kal-el. Not until his resurrection. Upon his resurrection he returns to the Jor-el and Kal-el state. He takes the throne as his Clark Kent state and sends Kal-el to reside and bear witness to man. Now the Angels only reside with Clark Kent, as Kal-el is with man, both working in full unison with the Jor-el.
Thank you for making this video. I was trying to find the support group and im hvaing trouble minding it. I am currently dating a JW and i have been learning a lot about his religion and have even gone to a few meetings. Itd be great to be able to talk to you more about and get your advice. I pray to God everyday about our situation. I do want to stay with him and he feels the same way.
facebook.com/groups/812516622726991/ Feel free to join our support group- we have several other who are dating/engaged to JWs and still on the fence about entering marriage. I can’t remember if I said this isn’t the video or not…. If you have a relationship with Jesus and consider yourself to be one of his followers- I would really caution you not to enter into a covenant marriage with an active JW ( or anyone that hasn’t given themselves to the Lord)… I’m not saying he is not the man for you, but probably not right now. Take a stand in your faith and do not marry him ( yet) until he has a relationship with Jesus- meaning he has talked to him and asked him to be his Lord and Savior. Learn from me- and others who have walked in your future shoes, You do not want a JW being the head of your household. They are wonderful people with good hearts- but being fed spiritual food poisoning everyday. Praying for you and your boyfriend. 🙏🏻
One thing you must know which is the harsh part of life and what's that?? You are UNBELIEVER for him and he is UNBELEIVER for you and this part you need to look into very carefully, my girl who is JW LEFT me saying that i am an UNBELEIVER and i was shocked core to my heart (still i dont blame her as my parents were not in favour of our marriage). Incase you need some help you can talk with me just in case as i have dated a wonderful JW girl who left me recently.
I was jw when I married my also jw husband, after about 14 years of our marriage with 3 kids , I realized that the jw religion is not s true religion as it claims. I left the religion for christ, this increased problems we experienced in our marriage, I couldn't take, I chose christ over him. We are on separation now and divorce is the next level to go.
Watchtower Governing Body of JW’s teach King Jesus is Michael the Archangel/That Jesus was murder when actually He gave His life freely/He laid down His Life for the remission of sins not for protecting His Father according to their doctrines/That Jesus died only Spiritually/ not physically.That our Mediator King Jesus is for the 144,000 only but the Governing Body is the Mediator for JW’s church members … always discrediting Calvary’s Cross of Christ that He was nailed to a pole/ the stake… that’s just the beginning
My wife still a witness I disassociated myself we have a wonderful marriage and we still do best woman I ever met in my life I'm one of the lucky ones oops I shouldn't said lucky 😂❣️👍
Sounds to me like you love him very much In my opinion there’s no reason for either one of you to apologize to God. Marriage is just difficult whether you share the same faith or not. But it’s dope to see that the both of you are living up to your vows. God has to be happy for that 🙏🏾😇
I’m going through it right now man, I left over a year ago and she’s still in. They don’t realize that when they go to the hall they are thought that they are better without really realizing it. Amd that destroy families at home
My ex-wife is a JW. She believes and listens more to GB teachings than to me. I think her husband is JW organisation and not me. We cannot talk in good terms. She called me apostate when I shared some errors in GB teachings. The last resort for me to separate from her. Even though, we are divorced. I hope she can see the true colour of GB wrong teachings.
There are supposed to be errors in GB Teachings..its prophesied that Gods people in the last days would be causing much harm and damage to us on earth. See rev 11:6. Clues are presented in the context (in the next few following verses)
Ask him if women also went to heaven as anointed bekngs. He should say yes. Show him Revelation 14 : 1-4. Also show him Rev 7: 1-8. It destroys their 144000 doctrine.
I’m curious Did your husbands parents attend the wedding? I can imagine it may have been worse on his part to marry a “worldly” woman. I’m praying for your journey God Bless!
Wait- you married him when he was a “baptized” witness ? How did he not get disfellowshipped ? You’re trying to convert him- he’s trying to convert you- what a battle . Just live in unison as a married couple/ keep religion out of it you knew what you were getting into. Focus on your children
The Watchtower is calling the shots in his life and they control his beliefs. They are telling him what to believe, they can change interpretation of scripture because they lack the Holy Spirit.
marrying outside the faith is not a disfellowshipping offense in the Jehovah's witness faith structure. it is strongly discouraged. an elder would be removed from his position were he to do so. others in the congregation would be reproved, and be 'marked' as spiritually weak.
Your husband per the organization was disobedient in Marrying you, how was he and the organization allowing this? Again pre marital sex, mmmm the both of you were out of order. So you were disobedient to so many authorities, your so disodence in actions, thoughts, and behaviors. I don't know if I want to follow any of your advice, this is very confusing. The phrase I hear from you is I want, your still disobedient.
I was dating a jw but the relationship was so hard until he decided to breakup with me and met a fellow jw who he married later.. I really did love him but I believe I dodged a bullet because I'm a born again Christian and we always had conflict even in our relationship. Love is not enough to be married to a jw this cult is too controlling and they don't have limits..
I too are married to a jw,she is lovely woman puts no pressure on me because she knows what type of man i am.I have had to be very firm with the elders and tell them I am not interested but they keep persting;I enjoy the look on there face when I say NO Not Interested.
@@billynomates5482 who k owes what this 9 buffoons are planning from their forest in Warwick. What I mean mate is that this cult ruins lives, eventually as all of us have, your wife will go thru a bad patch in it which could be a bad experience for her. But with you as her rock she knows that you will be there for her always, she will need that.
@@billynomates5482 No mate. Leaving JWs happens to alot of people and when it does it can be devastating. Thankfully you will be there to support her. As regards to those 9 men in a forest, who knows what they are planning...
@@HenriettaMRiley thanks mate I hope that day comes,I will never trust those idol worshiped men either.i once prayed and asked if the blood rule is correct,the answer i got back is all lives are worth saving.i know its my own voice of reason.
I don’t believe he is superior to God either. But the question is…. When he humbled himself and came into the world as a human- what was his nature before that? The Bible tells us: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11 He was in the FORM of God… he absolutely was not Micheal the Archangel. Prayers for you to find the Truth in Jesus ❤️
@@sweethoneybee8518 many times he is called a God a lord and a King and there's nothing wrong with referring to him as such. We do, our whole religion is actually central to Jesus and his role in our redemption from sin via his death. He's just not at par with God in OUR understanding of the scriptures. On the archangel issue that's a topic that really needs time because as it stands we already have fundamental differences. I'm genuinely not here to argue or negate your personal experience.
Jesus is NOT God, nor did he claimed to be. The Jehovah witnesses got it right even if the world detests them. That's one sure sign of they having plenty of the truth on their side. Many of you all truly need to go back and learn!!!
Your Jesus has no power cause your Jesus is not God, you rely on your works to save you how good you practice as a ladder to earthy paradise. When you say the means this means this word says it all it had to be done so we can have our organization as it is today.
She prays to god to help her husband ? worship Jesus ?? Find the mistake ! (and does not even realize that JWs also acknowledge that Jesus sacrificed himself on behalf of sinful mankind. I disagree with the whole concept, but this is what JWs believe and all other Christian religions / cults believe. And that Jesus sacrificed himself obeying gods orders. In the Catholic church, the Protestant churches, in her church .... Jesus is very important - and god is above him. Again doctrine not my opinion. I happen to know a lot of JW doctrine as well (knew people well that are / were JWs) never was one myself - I have never heard Jesus be described as an angel or archangel (Michael or other). Maybe that is a detail that I missed - think of it like: what did Jesus and also Satan do before they god involved with earth ? Well Satan was an angel very high up in the hierarchy until his rebellion (and then misleading Adam and Eve). As for Jesus he is not really talked about before he showed up in form of a human baby. He is the son of god - but then one could argue all angels are creatures of god (and even Adam). I think she totally misses the point of JW doctrine when she obsesses about the idea which kind of angel Jesus was before he was sent to earth (as per doctrine). Technically speaking he might not even have existed before (I think most Christians implictely assume that he was a high ranking spiritual being that manifested itself in human form (a zygote / embryo / fetus / infant).
I am a comparative religions researcher and a Christian. I have collected the Watchtowers material going back to the days of Charles Taze Russell and looking at the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society', there is overwhelming and solid prophetic failure claims concerning the end of the world. I have learned this about the Society, they claim to be God's channel of communication here on earth, they claim to be the faithful and discreet slave, and they have claimed to be a prophet. As I said their prophecies have a proven track record of 100% failure and then the leadership turned around and blamed it on the rank and file JW's for getting their hopes up too high! So my question to JW's is this: If the Watchtower Society is a false prophet, why should you believe the doctrines of a false prophet?
My parents were missionaries in various countries in South America. I was born in Peru. As a teenager, I stopped going to church partly because of the hypocrisy, lack of brotherhood, and nonsensical teachings. After13 years of being a hippie surfer and professional guitarist, my girlfriend began studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. We married, she got baptized, and within a year I also became a JW. I've been one now for 46 years, have a great marriage and we continue to be living the best life ever 😊
I love the way you parroted "best life ever" like a drone. You know there is something wrong in the organisation, you know that deep down, yet due to your sunken cost fallacy, you cant bear to think that it is false. We will pray for you.
I can relate to that, let me tell you, a very stunch jw lady, wanted for us to get married, but what I knew about Jesus Christ, I just couldn't do it 😢
Just keep on praying and reading your bible so that you may remain strong! Don't hope for quick solutions because there are none. Your struggle is one of endurance. In the long run it will all pay off.
Ron is a fortunate man to have you as a wife. You are blessed of the Lord. How about your four children? Do they go to church with you or the kingdom hall with hubby?
@@markxnex973 you're brainwashed dude. I read the Bible without the Watchtower and that's how I woke up. Jesus is God dude. Just read John chapter 1 and 1 John 5:19, 20.
@@caroldanvers265 no i am not reading from a Bible that was written from a man. Jehovah doesnt want that and lemme guess you dont even know what our religion is about and youve never been to it because allllll of your evidence is from these morons who claim we are a cult and we are brainwashed and yet you call us brainwashed while your watching videos about people who are ACTUALLY BRAINWASHED BY SATAN.
I can't understand what you are saying because I am a Jehovah witness and I believe that Jesus is the son of the living god Jehovah An that he died to save us from our sins .
Thank you so much, we are currently planning to get married, he is a JW…I love him so much and it’s hard to leave him, I have been searching for videos here on TH-cam, I guess I should pray for strength to leave him 😭😭😭
Are you a Christian who is planning on marrying a JW? If so- I know where your heart is at! It’s hard…. And our heart can be deceiving. If I were you, ( and if I could go back in time) … I would have done my research BEFORE getting married and lovingly explained why I couldn’t be married to someone who believes in a false Jesus and a whole slew of other things…. In hopes that it will get him to think, and research… leave the organization is NOT leaving Jehovah- it’s finding Jesus:) Then maybe in the future…. He will come to Jesus and then come back to you. Every marriage is hard though and every marriage has problems- but I can tell you, I believe God will honor your decision to point him to Jesus and walk away… if it’s meant to be, it will be. ❤️ Praying for you and him!
Please, please, please don't marry a JW. You will spend a lifetime living in regret. It may break your heart right now, but you will be brokenhearted for a lifetime if you marry him, to say nothing of the pain your children will endure-no birthday parties, ostracism by other kids, really a joyless childhood
@@sweethoneybee8518 Thank you so much for the advice and this video,I decided to end the relationships, honestly it hurts and feels like I won't find a better person than him but I think its better than being unhappily married.
@@jancollins6878 Imagine the horror of avoiding God dishonoring PAGAN celebrations. In a weird coincidence not one of the 25 Billion people who ever lived suffered 1 second of harm by not celebrating their birthday. That God damn Bible in Ecclesiastes 7:1 is stupid. We hate the Bible. If the Bible says something its a fucking lie.
50 years married and 40 of it to A JW. Very long story. My only advice to you is hold tight to your children, pray God's protection over their minds and hearts. It's lke I told my husband " I'm responsible for their spiritual upbringing too." Don't let your husband tell otherwise. I've been a Christian sense the age of 10. I have 3 daughters, 2 know Christ but one remains a JW. Very hard because now I have 4 of my 8 grandchildren being raised as a JW. The struggle is real. Stay strong! Thanks for sharing! ♥️
JW belief in Jesus Christ as son of God, as our saviour. How we live our lives matters more than mere principles. Jesus said we should direct our prayers to Jehovah God the father of Jesus Christ.
No religion allows for thinking for yourself. Not yours not his. Religion causes social problems. According to the Bible Jesus didn't have or taught a religion. He taught love of your fellow man, even if your fellow man had a difference of opinions or thoughts. I believe that as long as your a decent wholesome human being, your good to go. Religion separates mankind. They each think they are the only right one. So if your husband is a good husband and father why do you want to get rid of him. There's something called working it out. Especially for your children's sake. It's devastating for children who go through divorce.
I don’t want to get rid of him…. I’m on TH-cam sharing my situation and journey to connect with others in a similar situation. it can often feel like we are the only ones
i hope he wakes up. keep praying for him. There are counselors out there. i recommend shunnedpodcast.com. he can help. not expensive either . He will help. P.S. dont let your husband take the kids to the Kingdom halls.
That’s nice. Because you cannot get divorced. Or actually HE cannot get divorced. Unless you are unalive. And until YOU become a Witness, you are STILL considered a “divided” family. Meaning, YOU are NOT one of THEM! So either wake up to the “truth”, or else remain as an “outsider”. Good luck to you. 😊
Melissa, I would love to get in touch with you. Im also a christian married to a JW and would love to connect with another Christian women married to a JW.
I’d love to get in touch with you too! If you are on Facebook- there are about 25 of us on here - it’s been a helpful support group- would love to have you facebook.com/groups/812516622726991/
I know it's common for people to talk about "asking Jesus into your heart," but that's not Biblically accurate. It's a form of "Christianese," which is not Biblically accurate (Scripture doesn't tell us to do so. It tells us to trust only in Jesus' sacrifice. It also predictably creates a problem of assurance of salvation because asking Jesus into the heart doesn't save). It confuses the end with the means. Also, it's counterproductive with JWs because they are taught NEVER to "invite Jesus into their heart" (or life) because they will get a demon instead. It's best to present the Gospel by showing from John 3 through the example of the serpent being lifted up that it was a one-time event (which is why Jesus used it as context for 3:16 and it refutes the mistranslated idea of 'exercising faith'). I know a lot about this because I was raised in a situation where my Christian Dad was married to my fourth-generation JW Mom. Dad just died and now we kids are focused on trying to accurately and simply continue to present the Gospel to my 89 year old mom who has dementia. Blessings.
Do you know that Jesus claimed to be God? in John 2:12-22, He said that He would raise His body after He died. In Acts 2:32, 3:15 and 10:40 it says that God raised Him from the dead. Tell your husband to look up those verses in their New World Translation.
Hi SweetHoneyBee. Just found your vid & channel. Great vid and great subject. I'm exjw too and have an exjw channel. Yes I escaped the cult and abusive marriage. My ex was not a JW... JW teaching repeatedly quote 1Peter 3 for JW wives when they have an "unbelieving" husband so they (the husband) can be "won over to the faith". ... It never worked in my marriage but anyway, I just wanted to say great job on the video. Please be aware that if your husband has rejoined and is now a practicing JW, they are very heavily indoctrinated when attending all those meetings and within the literature. And JWs speak out publicly in a very negative way from their platforms about "wicked Christendom" which is every christian religion except JWs, at least they did when I used to be a jw. If he is now a practicing jw (or even just a jw believer not practicing) and becomes aware of this public video, it may not go down well with him and his congregation elders. The moment a person speaks out publicly against JWs, the JWs are indoctrinated to believe that that person is an "apostate". They used to teach an apostate was just somebody who left JWs and spoke out publicly against JWs but not anymore. Every person speaking out publicly is considered "apostate" by the average JW. To a JW, an apostate is viewed as more wicked than the worst criminal. An apostate in the JW religion is described as "sinning against the holy spirit" and will have no place for God's forgiveness. To a JW and their unbelieving family members, it's a very serious matter! It's very shocking and frightening for a JW to be confronted with an apostate situation and what they are brainwashed into believing what an apostate is. Even the word apostate wells up a frightening spirit within a JW person. I know from experience after losing my jw sisters and we were all very close in our hearts to one another. They will avoid an apostate at all costs, believing it will protect their own life and what they believe to protect the lives of their children at Armageddon, soon to arrive. A JW will go into survival mode and shunning and avoidance of the "apostate" will begin no matter how much they love or like a person. It's an automatic response of being taught it's how you show to God that you "love Jehovah God more than any other human". Unfortunately, JWs are taught to love with conditions. So please be careful with everything surrounding the subject of speaking out with your YT channel and FB. JW stuff creeps into every nook and cranny of one's life and one's marriage. It's amazing that you have been able to keep your marriage together for this long and not let him passively change you into becoming a JW and allowing your children to not get indoctrinated. Unfortunately the biggest majority of JWs will have an alterior motive for being friendly to other people ie to try and win them over to become a JW. I hope and pray you and your children never get indoctrinated into the JW cult. Hugs sister 🤗. Trusting all you pray for comes to be true.
Ask your husband if he believes that JEHOVAH GOD is a JEALOUS GOD. ASK IF DOUBTING THOMAS BELIEVES IN JEALOUS GOD. Take him to john 20 vs 28. We will pray for your husband.
Yessss!!!!! “My Lord and My God” - I quote that all the time. And the first time he saw it, he was totally thrown off and didn’t know what to say. Thanks for praying for him!
Thank you so much for making this video. I am 63 year old and Christian (follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, believing in the trinity) deeply in love with a 62 year old man who is JW. We have been friends for 15 years. He’s widowed and so am I. We’re a young 62 and 63 old. We’re not going to get married but that doesn’t take away the love I have for him. I recently found out that he was an actual elder in the JW faith. Mind blown on that one 🤯 I don’t have the energy to go back and forth with him about our faiths. I will need to resolve my feelings about this man and grieve the relationship I thought would eventually end in marriage.
I feel for you but you should have known better. It's like marrying an alcoholic. I started writing this before you said that you parents warned you. I was going to say, "I bet your parents warned you". Well, you can't reverse the clock. I wish you the best. I couldn't do it. I'm not as patient as you. God forgive me & God give you strength.
You just said the most important part of your message, if I hadn’t married him I wouldn’t be the Christian I am today. I’m sure it’s been hard on you, but you chose this, try being the child of he’s. I wasn’t asked and I didn’t have the choice. I was born into it, and I was bitter over it for years until I realized I wouldn’t be the Christian I am if I hadn’t been put in it. We have been refined through our struggles, just pray the lessons not be wasted. Yes you chose it, yes it might have been different, but I do not believe in mistakes in Gods Kingdom. You have a purpose and a mission. Continue to help others even if he never changes, it’s not your place or ability to change or save him. And above all praise God you are not lost as he is. God bless
TY for this video; it came at a time of great tribulation for me and my JW wife of 20+ years. By chance, do you have a link to your support group? Assuming we stay together, I’d love to hear others strategies on coping. Again, TY for your courage!
I'm was baptised as a jw for 22 years and left, and also got baptised as a christian I was born again, yes I was really "saved" but I left both religions. I know you feel like your husband Is not saved but this is the very reason why I left religion. It divides good people who all think they have "the truth" whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu etc. My advise to you is just to love your husband and stop worrying about him being saved. It sounds like you have a good marriage despite the division in faith. Just don't let it get in the way and you'll be OK. Neither of you are right the world is full of good people who don't know anything about Jesus. It's not important. All that's important is that your a good person. All religions teach to love each other and have a version of the golden rule. Whatever happens when we die is not dependant on loving Jesus and being saved. Otherwise billions of people are doomed. Yes have your faith and let your husband have his faith. But don't let it ruin your marriage. I hope you can both find peace and realise that the world is bigger than Christianity. Sending you both love ❤
I'm an exjw who is now a Christian who attends church. My husband is still a jw. It's so hard. I pray they come to the Lord... all of our loved ones who are stuck in that cult. 🙏 TH-cam search street preachers who preach to Jws. Very helpful to know how to talk to them using the scriptures.
Let me tell you something sister I left 2018 I've been associated with witnesses since 1973 I got married 2016 to witness woman she's wonderful and I left I wrote my letter of disassociation and I left and we're still together we have a happy marriage she's great she knows when she has it good I'm not your normal witness I'm like a rebel witness I did at least as possible and I never hung out with anybody I had my own friends that I had since I was in school that never changed so when I left it was like another day didn't even mean anything ❤️👍😂
Remember this lovely lady . The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you . That same spirit with the powe of pray can turn your husband around . No weapon formed against you can prosper. When the😮 enemy comes in like a flood God will raise up a standed. You are walking in victory. No pray no power. God is on your side
You're in a tough situation but there is hope. He will eventually open his eyes, make him watch the Vice documentary on Jehovah witness it came out last week on 7/28. He will be shock to see what is going on in the organization...is he making you watch the zoom meetings? That's pure torture right there.
I didn’t know about that documentary- thank you! I’ll check it out and hopefully he will see it too. I do not watch the meetings. But he makes our children sit and watch ( they agree- pure torture)
@@sweethoneybee8518 wait a minute...are u saying that u allowed him to raise your children as JWs? Oh my goodness...that changes everything. I was sympathetic to u till that. I'm a Christian and I would never allow that to happen and u know that God hates that. You have to save those children.
I grew up as a witness. My dad converted after my parents got married. He forced us kids to be raised as witness and because my women are supposed to be submissive, my mom had no say. My dad dominated the whole house. All I can say is love, respect, communicate, with each other. I can see that it can work with all of this, however stop trying to convert or change each other. You can only do you. Religion can/will cause a wedge if you try to force it on others. You are not responsible to make him change his religion, or to interrogate, or to tear his religion down.
@@sweethoneybee8518 Lets say im agnostic. I want absolutely no part of any organized religion. I do not think you need to attend a church to be religious and/or spiritual. I had way too much crammed down my throat growing up. I have to say im tired of being preached to/at.
As rev 11:18 describes the need for God to intervene before humankind ruins the earth.. That same chapter refers to the 3rd temple which is to allow right minded people to worship God acceptably in the last days of this system of things. Those involved in true worship are told ..AUTHORISED by The Almighty ..to strike earth with plagues..referring to Gods people as the two witnesses/ prophets.
Thanks for sharing. The good thing is that you have 4 lovely children with a man you love. You should give him some hints in areas he should study in JW doctrine as he need to figure this out himself. You are so strong. I'm not married to a JW but one of my best friend is JW and she would benefit to really study as she is so into it.. hard!
That’s very true… so much to be thankful for. The topics that come up the most are 1914, who Jesus says he is and the physical resurrection ( the first time I asked him this- he said of course he was physically resurrected- and I told him that was boy what the watchtower taught- of course he changed his mind and said it was spiritual. What hints would you suggest I have him focus on?
I just saw the second part of your message about your JW friend- praying that the Holy Spirit will direct her and guide her to the teachings that will open up her spiritual eyes
@@sweethoneybee8518 I have been thinking so much about this but I'm so scared to push as their training is to avoid listening. Each time I have said something I can see that they have doubts but are trained not to take it any further. I have said to other JWs that why are you coming to us to question our faith and not listen to our false leaders when it's only the GB that are allowed to do "research" and then come up with these 180 degrees turn around in New Light. I think the Shepard of the flock reading would be a wake up call for any JW husbands and wives. It shows the how the organisation should work and its not a loving arrangement...just a structure to get people scared to stay...
@@sweethoneybee8518 You might want to try the issue of 607 B.C. for the destruction of Jerusalem being the source of their 1914 chronology. If it goes, everything following it goes. You might ask him "Honey, could you show me quality sources (not Watchtower) that affirm the 607 date is the correct date for the destruction of Jerusalem?" He shouldn't be able to, because the 586-587 chronology is accepted by all (or almost all) qualified academics - even secular ones. Hopefully he would try hard to show you the so-called 'truth' abou the date, but would realize there's a real problem there. There are a few other sources under "Jehovah's Witnesses, chronology" in the bibliography that I put together. If not, you might ask the Holy Spirit to direct you towards a topic (there are quite a few listed) that would do the most to destroy your husband's trust in the Watchtower. archive.org/download/english-spanish-books-for-ex-jws-jws-others-11-9-21/ENGLISH%20%26%20SPANISH%20BOOKS%20FOR%20EX-JWS%2C%20JWS%20%26%20OTHERS%2011-9-21.doc
@@Greg76131 What is the difference, please? Can you be saved if you believe in God but not in Jesus? God says in Isaiah 43:11 that besides Him there is NO SAVIOUR. So who is Jesus..?
That's totally wrong. We not only talk to Jesus but we do as he commanded and approach Jehovah THROUGH Jesus. Interesting how she ignores th headship arrangement that would be in her own bible n bad mouth her husband to the world!?! 🤔😒
Assuming you're a JW, I'm just genuinely asking this: Countless *deaths* due to refusing blood transfusions, so many of which are just children Endless amounts of people having their lives uprooted due to being shunned, something that's unbiblical The organization started out as a publishing business before becoming an actual religion, a big red flag These are just a few things that show why the JW religion is questionable, to say the least. But many refuse to acknowledge these factors, or outright ignore them. How can a belief with all this baggage be considered 'the truth'?
@benjaminshiels1824 If you could explain to me what you mean by “through” that would be helpful. How did Jehovah create the world “through” Jesus? And in John 1:3 when it says “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” …. Do you believe Jesus made himself ? And as far as the headship comment. My allegiance is to God first, then my husband. I truly try not to badmouth my husband- and I’m sorry if it comes across that way…it’s not a battle with him, it’s with the spiritual forces in this world like Ephesians mentions “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” If you are a JW, I am happy that you are here and somehow stumbled upon my videos. Praying for you to continue learning and reaching out to Jesus so He can reveal his true nature to you. I think you will be in complete awe of Him when it all clicks for you. He is not a created angel, He has the very nature of His father. God nature. He put on and became like his creation, a human, so He could save us. It honors the father when you honor His Son. I pray that the Holy Spirit will teach you this and comfort you on your journey of relearning who Jesus truly is.
Hi, i just need guidence, i'm a christian who fell in love with a JW, it's a special case because he had stopped studying and then we started dating, i am really in love with him but he wanted to study again the bible so we broke up, i really don't know if we can keep dating, we had talked about getting married but in a future. I am heartbroken because we are really in love but we can't date. I know studying will make him happy and for that i am happy but it really hurts to not be together. i wanted to go with him to the reunions but i'm not so sure about it, i don't know what to do.
Vanessa- I feel your pain… I vividly remember breaking up with my now spouse many times before we got pregnant and then engaged. I think deep down I knew I should not be with him, but kept getting pulled back in because love is blinding and you think it can conquer all- at least that’s what I told myself. If I could go back to my younger self… I would tell myself to fall in love with Jesus, know his word and focus on that relationship more, know how to share the gospel message ….share it with him, let him know I loved him and then walked away out of obedience to God. Then, let God do His thing. If y’all are meant to be together, than you will be- but God warns us not to be unequally yoked for a reason. It is hard! . It’s all fine and dandy if they are inactive and just dabbling, it’s actually attractive to see a man study the Bible- but once they are all in - it is all consuming, and controls so many areas of life. I would truly advise you to share the gospel with him, then walk away and don’t get back together until he has been born again and your ready for him to be the spiritual leader of you and your future kids. 🤍 . My hearts feels your pain- and I know it’s not an easy choice. Pray always … God will whisper to you what to do ;)
I remember I woke up from jws during the time of dating another jw woman I tried to wake her up relationship ended she got married in 6 months to someone else and I left and started my brand new life
Was you a witnesses or not because you are not it’s because you put her at risk speaking form a spiritual sister. It’s not always good for us to be in a relationship or married someone outside our faith due to problems in the long term because it’s nothing in common That why milk it’s important to pay more attention to the red flags once’s it is their completely
As an ex Jehovah's Witness its a real conundrum for you both . All i can say is i know i couldn't be married to someone with very different religious views to me , that would be an absolute nightmare. 😐
Oh my God thank you for doing this video. You are God sent. Today I needed to hear this. I am married to a Jehovah witness for 11 years it has been soooo hard. I have days that I don’t think I can continue like this. But you are right God has been with me I don’t know what would be of me if not for our Heavenly Father.
I'm not married to a jw, but I'm married to a immature Christian, and that's hard too. My husband is very selfish which hurts a lot. I'm always trying to show him the blessing that come with being self sacrificing, but it's like he believes he needs to look out for himself, he makes me feel very unloved at times. However, the way he is has made me grow closer to jesus, and jesus is more my husband than my physical husband is. And maybe God will cover our husbands through us. The bible says the unbelieving spouse can be sanctified through the believer. I count my husband as an unbeliever because he depends more on his self than God. He knows about God, but he doesn't trust him with his life.
@Eloise Ramsey. You can somewhat tell if he is believer or not by whether he experiences God's discipline or not. That usually shows up by repeated patterns, such as continual difficulty with fellow employees or bosses, even if he changes jobs. Does he continue to have adverse circumstances financially, or with his health?, etc.
when she was a young child, she studied for a small period of time and then stopped for a long time. her grandmother is the one that planted the seed in her, while her mother has never been a witness. i met her 2 years ago, and last year is that she started studying again and "drawing closer." i, on the other hand, believe in god but am not religious or come from a religious family. we're in love, but the issue moving forward is that she can "marry only in the lord". what advice do you have for my situation?
@Erick Luenzo. Whether or not you are a Christian, STEER CLEAR from any relationship with a Jehovah's Witness. It's not all about you and your happiness, although if you go through with this to its logical conclusion, you will see MUCH unhappiness. The Watchtower's view of you is so negative (it is of EVERYONE who's not a JW), that it is going to be almost impossible for that attitude not to rub off on your significant other. If you marry a JW, YOUR KIDS' LIFE WILL BE HELL. It's not fair to them. If I sound negative here, I have a right to. I was/am one of those kids. I'm now 62, but the years have not erased those memories of household friction, nor the sadness of realizing that if my Dad had married a Christian like himself, life would have been easier. It's still painful looking at my 89 year old Mom and seeing the lack or peace she is experiencing because of her devotion to the Watchtower (even with dementia). Even through eight years of dementia, my Dad NEVER experienced the lack of peace that my Mom does, even though he was 91 when he died. The Watchtower is such an Orwellian type of group, that for years, they even tried to dictate the sexual activities between husbands and wives in their own bedroom. I think you need to do a LOT a research on this group, because I don't think you have that much knowledge about all the ways they will attempt to undermine your authority in a marriage and with your future kids. In the non-sexual areas of your life, you will not be able to experience the 'oneness' you would like to in the other areas of life (politics, hobbies, leisure, etc.). They will cause much friction because they will always be intruding on the amount of time you would like be able to spend with a spouse. They place a LOT of pressure on how many meetings a week, study, door-to door witnessing, etc. that their people need to be involved in.
Lets be clear about this: JWs do believe that there is no salvation in anyone else except Jesus (Acts 4:12). Calling them unbelievers, and making these efforts to gather people in opposition to Jehovah is not the best way to go. It does not make up for your own inadequacies, nor does it solve any emotional problems you may have. You have a loving husband who dwells with you in peace, and you have healthy children. Your reasons for joy are abundant. There is no need for war. Nobody seem to be fighting YOU, except YOU.
Let me be clear about this. You either preach the gospel from what God's word says or you have another Jesus that's FALSE! She isn't trying to" start a war"... she is trying to get him saved by Grace though the Jesus!! JOHN 14:6 AND JESUS SAID: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, no man comes to the Father but by me. If you read scripture you would know that NO ANGEL IN HEAVEN OR ANYONE ELSE HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SINS! JW's believe that Jesus was Michael the Archangel and he wasn't bodily resurrected but in a spirit form. They have prophesized the end of the world multiple times (wrong of course) and now they claim " Jesus" took to the throne in 1914. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before. They are Unbelievers.
@@danielduhon7781 144,000 are the very important people who we know will make it to Heaven. For example we know for certain Elijah is a part of the 144,000 as he's already in Heaven. More than likely after Judgment Day, Abraham and Moses will be a part of the 144,000. Most Jehovah's Witness do not claim to be a part of the 144,000 as we take Heaven very seriously unlike other Christian denominations where Heaven appears to be a big party.
@KGC. That's sad. I hope God turns things around for you. You did your part. If your ex doesn't come to Christ, maybe He has someone else for you. You're not under bondage to the marriage any more since he abandoned you.
I am in your shoes. My husband wasn't a JW when we got married. there is no defending yourself, no changing their minds. Hard is not the word for it. I long for my husband and I to go to the same church, I pray every day that God shows him the right way, we have been together 14 years, he has been a JW for 4 years. good luck it is a struggle. You cant talk to them about JW's.
Veey true! My son exclaims "Jesus" easily and the JW around us have ab issue with it. I try my best to keep us farrrrr away from theor double standards and ignorance! I keep praying for them
I married a ex jw for 21 years. My marriage lasted 22 years prior to his passing and I can honestly say I had the most amazing marriage. I realize I married my husband not his religion. I realize that you have to protect your marriage from outside influences and for us it wasn't what we asked of each other it was more of what others wanted us to do. I learned being equally yoke was us living in union. We always worship in Christ and now that I look back I'm honor that as a wife I stood my course and I believe that is all anyone can do as a beliver. I say this to say we all fall short and just remember to always show your husband that you love him for him for who God made him and that you are committed to walking beside him as God shows him who he is. Especially in that religion - be blessed
Well, the marriage you describe sounds like the opposite of the woman I see in this video who clearly doesn’t walk beside her husband, even more against him as he need saving. Telling how big of a mistake her marriage is. I only taste the me and us against him and them, even gathering a support group. I don’t see much love coming out of this video. And her husband watching this video doesn’t help nor encourage to build up their marriage to become stronger, unless he demonstrates what he learns from God.
Jehova witnesses follow on YHWH GOD and on Jessus Christ as well, just compare their all actions for Jehova with the others actions of others religions followers, and you will see how much they working together for Jehova buy spreading Jehova Holly Bible in this world than others religions which don't do nothing to serve on Jehova like them😊😊😊😊
Hello Melissa! JW's don't pray to Jesus because they believe they are praying directly to his father who is God. They are only able to do this due to the sacrifice which Jesus made to atone for the sin of Adam. So in all of their prayers, they say 'i say this prayer through the sacrifice of Jesus'. I remember they used to say that while on earth Jesus prayed to his god, and thats who they believe they are praying to too! In your own religion, do you pray to Jesus or God? My nana was a JW and my grandad was'nt. I'm sure she had him tortured!
Great Question…. I address my prayers to “my Heavenly Father” like Jesus modeled for us… but within my prayer I will say Jesus and Holy Spirit… just depends on the prayer…. But always ending “in Jesus name- Amen”
Look up Supernatural Conference Michael Heiser on TH-cam. It’s a long lecture but absolutely great! He mentions JW’s misunderstanding of the trinity too
Why would god save your marriage if you went against everything you said you believe. Religion is ridiculous. The hypocrisy is through the roof. Convenient Christian.
Why did u have 3 more kids with him then? Love is unconditional, if u r gonna stay married accept him for his individual beliefs. Religion is a bunch of bs. He thinks you are a worldly bad influence and unbeliever as well. He thinks his beliefs are the truth. Instead of making making a shitty video behind your husband's back, just divorce him.
GOD Him sefth say the Most Powerfull Force in The Universe is LOVE...Like you say ...Both of you are in Love ...Dont woried Nothing going to Break That force...Please dont let that Nothing interfere in your Mariage...
I am a Christ loving Christian my husband was raised JW he has never been a JW but he hates Christians with a passion as they are taught to. I met him in high school we are high school sweethearts I was raised in a Christian church believers of the Trinity loving Christ as our Lord and savior. I didn’t accept Christ in my life until about three years ago.
@@Meme6 I’ve been married with my husband who I love every much for almost 30 years and I have known his JW family and him for 30+ years. I am not misinformed! Humbly I tell you , maybe there is denial on your part.
I just started watching your video but I have to say God bless you, sister. I have dad and cousins in this and I’m praying for them and I will pray for your husband to know Jesus as lord and savior and to be free of the yolk of WTBS🩷
Being "in love" does not make a relationship a good match. What about the practical aspects? JWs don't allow certain medical procedures. What about your children? What if you are unconscious and need something. Sorry, but your father was right and it has nothing to do with your religion.
My wife and I were married in the kingdom hall as we were both witnesses. I later was found by the lord and I am so grateful. My wife still is a believer in the nonsense coming from this vile organization while I have Jesus as my lord and master. Yeah it's tough being in such a marriage.
Even Jessus said to pray first to JEHOVA FATHER and not to him,so I don't know why you don't doing this, and tell which religion plead the Holly book like Jehova witnesses?, no one, couse others they don't care about others unfortunately 😔😔😔😔
Your husband and Jesus worships the Father. Rev 3:12 says “...I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.” The name of Jesus' God is not Jesus. The trinity is a 4th century apostasy. Would Jesus leave it to corrupt manuscripts that were corrupted centuries after his death to teach the nature of God had changed into a trinity? Would Jesus leave it to false reasoning to support a triune god that the Jews have never known? Why has the Jews never worshiped a trinity? Did the Jews worship the wrong God for thousands of years? If you studied the bible with a Jehovah's Witness you will find the bible does not support a trinity.
Don’t talk with your husband about doctrine especially the Trinity it only give them conformation that they are right . When I try to talk with them about doctrine I talk about the new covenant ( which they are not part of ) Or Roman’s 8 about being led by the spirit , instead of walking in the flesh , and those who walk in the spirit are All sons of god ( in their theology only 144k are ) So if they are not sons of God how can they walk in the spirit ? Peter would give you this advice : 2 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be in subjection to your husbands, so that if any are not obedient to the word, they may be won without a word through the conduct of their wives, God bless you sister . Keep your eyes on Jesus ❤
1:47 (to about 1:53) Clear Indication of Cognitive Dissonance. I personally am an atheist who views the world from a naturalist perspective, so if you want to discredit my opinion because of that, I understand. However, as a fellow survivor of JW's I have seen cognitive dissonance all my life. Where deep down we understand something doesn't make sense, but we chose to ignore it or not think too hard about it because we're scared of losing our beliefs. Its totally normal and everyone does it. Thought stopping techniques like the one in the time stamp are common among religious believers. I know because I used them SO many times. I'm not trying to be rude, or mean. I just noticed that you intentionally stopped yourself from thinking critically about God and "his plan" for you as soon you noticed an apparent contradiction in your worldview. Now while the thought stopping technique is evident, I can only assume what caused it. But heres my guess in the form of the logical syllogism you likely had floating in your brain. 1. Gods plan for us as humans is for our own good. 2. Due to the reasons that you stated (unevenly yoked, against gods recommendations, etc) your current situation isn't for your own good 3. Thus your current situation can't be apart of gods plan for you However a common Christian teaching is that everything that happens IS always apart of Gods plan. Which contradicts with what you logically concluded. Now, for the record, I don't doubt that you are happy in your marriage. I understand difficult relationship is different than unhappy relationship. A relationship can be tough sometimes, but if its constantly tough for you and the same problems arise again and again with no one conceding or making progress to fix the issue... then how can that be a happy relationship? If you do believe you are happy and can put religious differences aside... thats awesome. Genuinely. Still, even if you think that your situation is good for you in the long run... you have to admit that why would God's plan for you be something he doesn't recommend or allow? Wouldn't God then be a hypocrite? Making it apart of your destiny to do something that contradicts with what he wanted? How does that make sense? Your cognitive dissonance tried to protect you from these questions, but deep down these questions are troubling you. Research them. Find answers. Ones that give you peace. Life is about learning and growing. We all have truths we dont want to face. These are just some of yours.
Michael Ar Angel is not Jesus in Isaiah 12:1 becz Michail is comming only people those were know Daniel predicted in Daniel 7:25 He think to change time and LOW. And those people who were not under New Low...But Jesus is comming for all people ( Gentiles) for who were under New Low. Is it Possible...?
If you truly would read the bible you would leave the Jehovah Witnesses. Ask God to save you and receive the Holy Spirit to guide you. According to the TH-cam reasoning that you are saying, you are justifying why you are a JW. Read the bible and learn the truth.
Wow...Dont know why your husband can praey to Jesus...cause in any praey that JW made always they get to the Father ( GOD ) throught his Son Jesus...so is Nothing wrong to Praey to Jesus...
My wife is a pregnant JW, and im studying, 😅 i told her that if she loses blood and it jeopardizes her and my son's life during labor i will give her blood, because ill be damned to let both die to then watch a governing body update next month and they get new light regarding blood transfusions, she got quiet, with no protest. Also tell the elders you need money in these economic times, and see what happens. No protest. It's all good in theory but when real life shit happens things get real. She said someone is in trouble for having a gun in their home. I again said so I guess if someone breaks in and assaults you I'm going to stand and watch and call a brother the next day, no I'm protecting you. Again no protest.
Sorry they will have influence over u befor u know it
Our oldest son married a JW when he was young. He knew that she was a JW, although not a practicing one. He thought he could change her. We warned him. He didn't pay attention. Their marriage has produced two beautiful children and they are being raised JW. Our son is an alcoholic and it affects his family, and breaks our heart, too. The JW do not believe in AA, so our son is now saying he is a JW (on Facebook) and not to us personally. He was raised a Christian and was very active in our church while growing up. We think that he is being brainwashed and thinks that only the JW can help him with alcoholism. We do not know for sure. Pray for us, for him, his wife, and his children, please. I beg you. Btw: her mother, her two brothers, and her sister have left the JW and this gives us hope.
This is upsetting. The elders have no formal training to deal with alcoholism. That is a medical need. They have no formal, professional training to deal with any matters. It’s a group of men that have been appointed based on how many hours they spend in the ministry, do they comment enough at meetings, etc. Then once appointed they are given a book, a manual on how to handle to different situations based off of what the “governing body” has approved. Which is another group of men that call all the shots for the entire organization. It’s a really messed situation and I hope your son gets the help he needs. Lots of people with addictions fall into deep depressions in that religion because they never receive the help they need and are made to feel spiritually weak because they are told they don’t have enough faith. Don’t give up hope. Sending you Christian Love
Don't know where you get the idea that Jw's who have an alcohol problem can not go to AA as that is a lie they encourage people to get help with a problem I think your confused maybe with scientology
I am a recovering alcoholic with a little over 13 years of sobriety. Alcoholism is a deadly disease and I cannot understand why JW is against AA when they do not push any belief system on you. It's about helping your fellow alcoholic to get sober.
Girl, you are mistaken. I think your husband didn’t explain anything to you. JWs pray all the time and we pray through Christ and talk to him and thank him for dying for the mankind. It seems you are just as indoctrinated as he is.
As far as I'm aware they are not against AA if they can help I'm sure it's ok as long as they don't direct against Jehovah's wishes that are laid out in the bible for all to see
My husband was married to me for 11 years and put up with me as a JW raising out 3 kids JW. Bless his heart. I recently found out how "tweaked" we are and decided to leave completely this past Sunday. All I can tell you is that if he married you as a non-JW he is not 100% in. He does have doubts deep down, and there are so many amazing exJW channels here on YT that could help him. I am sooooo sorry, I'm so sorry! I feel your pain just the other way around. Wishing you a lot of patience, hoping your hubby can wake up. It's deeep indoctrination.
Also, Timothy's mother had a Pagan husband and she still respected him. Your husband is not a Pagan. I would suggest you find some common ground and respect your vows if you want to be a good Christian like you indicate.
JWs are subconciously paganis who worship the GB mentally and spiritually , since GB they taught :
Since God and Jesus COMPLETELY TRUST the faithful slave , Should we ( you ) do the same ?
The same WHAT ? To TRUST the GB COMPLETELY like God and Jesus has FAITH to the GB not the other way around , so God and Jesus are lower status than the GB , that is the implicit message the GB had sent to all jws ,
👇🏼
Psalm 146 : 3 Do not put your trust to the princes nir son of man thwre is no salvation
We need to obey the faithful and discreet SLAVE to have Jehovah approval ( wt July 15 - 2011 p24)
But JESUS say in the Bible : JHON 15 : 15 NWT
I no longer call you SLAVES , because a SLAVE DOES NOT KNOW
what his master does . But I have called you FRIENDS because
i have made known to you all the things i have heard vfrom my

For more than five decades we taught the FALSE DOCTRINES ( July 15 - 2013 page 3 par 3 )
The Governing Body is neither INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE therefore it can ERR in DOCTRINAL
MATTER ir in ORGANIZARIONAL DIRECTION ( wt February 2017 page 26 par 12 )
Howc a group of mean's called GB the proclaim GOD and JESUS TRUSTED them COMPLETELY
while they are NEITHER INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE ? what does it really mean ? neither GOD notbJESUS hor HOLY SPIRIT ever spoke to GB about anything , thats why they are NOT ISNPIRED NOT INFALLIBLE ,
Who is the GB then ? FALSE WITNESSES , they are LYING , so strickly and abusively ,
what does the Bible really say about tge FALSE WITNESS ?
PROVERB 21 : 28 NWT
A LYING WITNESS WILL PERISH but the man who listens will testify with success
Yes they will be perish , it is terrible that the 8 DUST ( Psalm 103 : 14 ) saying GOD AND JESUS TRUST US COMPLETELY , only people with mental issue believe such abusive fantasy
is tge GB trust completely to the DUST ? if they are not , why should GOD has lower sense than the GB ? how such God can help mankind ? therefore jws God need millions of peoples help him ,since he can not help himself does it ? is jws paganist ? yes they are , POLITHEISTIC
by having GOD and "a god " BIG GOD and little god , Jhon 1: 1 NWT and WOTSHIP GB secretly inside their hearth ,
Im married to a jw ,been married 50 years joined jw in 1963, i woke up to Jesus about 5 years ago. I am faded out of jws ,my wife does the jw zoom meetings twice a week for 2 hours and letter writing one hour , i manage to get to christian church 2 or 3 times a month for 30 min communion service , we have a sort of truce . People at church dont really understand why i cant just publicly leave the jw org .they are shocked by the shunning policy . Im 76 my wife 71. Im so happy to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus christ now .my wife and i still do our bible reading together and pray together , i ask the lord often to guide me .when i first woke up it was the night of the memorial ,i got to thinking about Jesus and the way he suffered for us .i prayed to jesus to show me if i was right to get out of WT ,that night i woke troubled at 3 :16 .on the digital clock .that was my answer .
What a testimony. I’m so happy for you and will pray for your wife.
How do y’all pray together/ knowing that you believe in two very different gods?
I struggle praying with my husband for that reason
@@sweethoneybee8518 as i said to my wife the name Jehovah has been familiar to christians in the anglican and catholic church for years ,so calling God jehovah does not bother me at all .the WT does not have copyrights on Gods name as in the old king james bible .and american standard version .if we accept the trinity the father son and holy spirit are all God .thanks for reply .
@@sweethoneybee8518Jesus Christ sent all of you to preach about the Jw's or satan the devil sent all of you to preach about the Jw's?????????
Keep making videos. You are meeting a real need. God has used this situation to grow you up in the Lord and deepen your faith. Two of my family members became JWs forty years ago and that was what made me realize I needed to study my Bible to be able to rightly handle the Word of truth. What the enemy means for destruction God intends for good. God is so good!
I’m an EXJW of 38 years. I know it hurts that you believe he isn’t saved, but he was taught that you are the one who isn’t saved. JWs do not believe once saved, always saved.
You’re both praying for the same thing. You’re both convinced you’re right and the other is wrong and that’s what’s wrong with religion. Rather than focus on the kind of humans you are, and live in the present, you’re both worried about all the wrong things.
Also, he married “out of the truth” and that means he married a “worldly girl”. There will always be judgement of you and him from the JWs. JWs actually call themselves Christians also, so you’re really deep into the speaking the same exact language with a different accent.
JWs do not believe ANYONE but them are true Christians.
If you need a resource, I’m here for you.
Hi Wendy- That’s so true…. But in his mind… I’ll just be conscious of nothing. I’ve mentioned to him ….. “sooooo… you think I deserve the same punishment as Hitler? Just conscious of nothing?” 🥲…. In my mind, he will be separated from God from eternity. I’ve often told him “I’d rather go to your version of hell then to be a JW and have no assurance of where I stand with God” 🤷🏼♀️
If you don’t mind me asking- what we’re a few of the things that made you leave the organization?
Hey, I was going to mention the same things to her. I was raised jw. I left at 50yrs old. I waisted my whole life trying to measure up for the Borg. They day I got baptized I was told everything is gonna get harder and worse for you from now on.
@@sweethoneybee8518 why did you married him in the first place? Makes no sense if you want him to be a christian than staying a cult member go to church and refuse to go to his cult or his watchtower meetings or his cult building claiming it's a church stay in your faith your true Christian religion I pray you be the miracle to refuse to join his cult and continue go to yours hopefully that convinces him to leave the Jehovah's witnesses if that doesn't work let him go
@@sweethoneybee8518 I left for sooo many reasons - you can look at my channel as I’m an activist to help others. For the sake of this convo, basically I left for two reasons: 1) their doctrine is wrong 2) it’s a cult.
The real problem is The bible itself comes under the same scrutiny ~~~~~Its a simple childs question ~How do you know what the Bible writers wrote down in the first place is true ~~since the writers are using literary devices ?
Funny how she thinks that a JW husband married to a "Christian" first would have to accept Jesus. ... Does she even KNOW JW doctrine. I would rather see a problem if he wants to leave JWs and their practice of shunning hits them. But maybe her religion / cult does the same. Being a JW is VERY time consuming (several meetings, ministry by preaching the gospel door to door), and if she does not accompagny him to his meetings they cannot even spend that time together. Plus if he takes his cult seriously he will think that she is going to perish during Armageddon, and maybe also the kids ... speaking of which - Are they raised in her belief system or in his.
What a nightmare 😐
WAIT A SEC.!!! Jehovahs Witnessess ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IN the Lord Jesus Christ. He is The KING of GODS KINGDOM! He is King ANOINTED BY HIS FATHER AND GOD, JEHOVAH. Listen Folks, heres the deal. The APOSTLE PAUL who was HANDPICKED by Christ himself. Who also wrote 14 books of the Inspired word, (Bible) said unequivocally;
BLESSED BE THE FATHER AND "GOD" OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS. So Jesus has a GOD AND THATS WHO JWS WORSHIP!!!!!!
So her Husband is SIMPLY WORSHIPPING WHO JESUS WORSHIPS!!!!!! Where as his wife DOES NOT acknowledge GOD AND WORSHIPS THE SON!
THATS SIN.
GOD DOES NOT SHARE HIS WORSHIP NOT EVEN WITH HIS SON!!!
DID THE ISRAELITES (GODS PEOPLE) WORSHIP JESUS? NO. THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW HIM.
SHE IS WRONG.
Jesus should be deeply honored and followed because all things are subject to him. But WE ARE ALL SUBJECT (INCLUDING JESUS) TO GOD.
Seems you are more subject to your organization than to God.You must break that bond and make a new start with God.
@@davidsnello You dodged the statement there.
@@muckeenthepig3974 The truth is hidden in the statement. God does not come first but the organization.
Why don't you just forget religion and focus on "earthly things" like your kids and enjoying quality time with each other. Do you realize that apologizing to God for marrying a person of another faith is an insult to your own children?
It’s not about “religion”… it’s about what the truth is … and what it is not. This culture seems to think there are a bunch of “truths” out there- but there is one truth- and that is Jesus… and if they have the wrong Jesus, they do not have the truth.
Religion is mad made… this is spirituality.
And I do focus my energy and time on my family. It’s impossible to wrap up my outlook on life in one little video- but I assure you my focus is on them. However, I would be a fool not to focus on eternal things… “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:2
I apologized to God for Marrying my husband because I married him KNOWING God did not want me to. it felt right to apologize for disobeying him. It is not an insult to my children- they are the best thing that has come out of our marriage and I believe God can works all things together for good- like he is doing.
@@sweethoneybee8518 JWs are Christians. Girl, grow up. You don't even sound genuine. It sounds like you just got on here to get some views.
Unfortunately jehovahs witnesses use that very scripture against others too.
Religion divides more than unites.
EXAACTLY.
Yesss
yes my girl who is JW left me saying that i am an UNBELEIVER. Sometimes i think we dont need religion on this earth.
She said Accept Jesus but the VERSION of Jesus she believes ....she believes Jesus is Son of God almighty and also the God almighty basically Jesus is his own father Jehovah ...JWs believe Jesus is not his own father the almighty Jehovah but believe he is the son God sent from heaven to die for humans as a ransom, but he is not the Jehovah of the Old testament......using the analogy of Superman....the evangelicals believe Superman is Jor-el, not Kal-el they believe cause Kal-el came from Krypton and Jor-el is from Krypton ....that means they are the same person so Superman is his father Jor-el
@@moisesbeyond your analogy doesn't work bc your analogy has two different people and doesn't include the essence of GOD. Also the names would be titles or names. So using your analogy the Triune essence of God working in unison would be equivalent to: Before creation it's self, before the cosmos before the angels at the very very beginning existed a void. Within that void resides a powerful, unseen "Jor-el" or creator force. A force with no visual representation, but with a consciousness. That force speaks an audible sound, "Let there be light." Boom. Creation is spoken into existence. First the spiritual realm where the Angels reside, then the cosmos. The Angels can see the visual representation of the Jor-el. They get to know the Jor-el, who's holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el is the spirit and word of the Jor-el. He's spirit and has holds a physical state, too. He looks different from them. They see Kal-el create everything else, including humans. Kal-el makes man in his image and likeness. The Angels see that humans have a spirit and flesh state, just like Kal-el. Kal-el walks among humans who only know him as the Jor-el. It's not until he walks with one of his prophets, after the disobedience of man, in which he reveals that his holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el sets in motion the redemption of man through thousands of year. Until one day he deicides that enough time has passed, he leaves his spirit state with the angels and humbly enters the world through a woman in a fully physicals state and full human. To have the full-human experience and to redeem mankind through his physical death. In his fully human state he is known as Clark Kent. In this state he doesn't hold the Glory of the Jor-el or Kal-el. Not until his resurrection. Upon his resurrection he returns to the Jor-el and Kal-el state. He takes the throne as his Clark Kent state and sends Kal-el to reside and bear witness to man. Now the Angels only reside with Clark Kent, as Kal-el is with man, both working in full unison with the Jor-el.
Thank you for making this video. I was trying to find the support group and im hvaing trouble minding it. I am currently dating a JW and i have been learning a lot about his religion and have even gone to a few meetings. Itd be great to be able to talk to you more about and get your advice. I pray to God everyday about our situation. I do want to stay with him and he feels the same way.
facebook.com/groups/812516622726991/
Feel free to join our support group- we have several other who are dating/engaged to JWs and still on the fence about entering marriage.
I can’t remember if I said this isn’t the video or not…. If you have a relationship with Jesus and consider yourself to be one of his followers- I would really caution you not to enter into a covenant marriage with an active JW ( or anyone that hasn’t given themselves to the Lord)… I’m not saying he is not the man for you, but probably not right now. Take a stand in your faith and do not marry him ( yet) until he has a relationship with Jesus- meaning he has talked to him and asked him to be his Lord and Savior. Learn from me- and others who have walked in your future shoes, You do not want a JW being the head of your household. They are wonderful people with good hearts- but being fed spiritual food poisoning everyday.
Praying for you and your boyfriend. 🙏🏻
One thing you must know which is the harsh part of life and what's that?? You are UNBELIEVER for him and he is UNBELEIVER for you and this part you need to look into very carefully, my girl who is JW LEFT me saying that i am an UNBELEIVER and i was shocked core to my heart (still i dont blame her as my parents were not in favour of our marriage). Incase you need some help you can talk with me just in case as i have dated a wonderful JW girl who left me recently.
I was jw when I married my also jw husband, after about 14 years of our marriage with 3 kids , I realized that the jw religion is not s true religion as it claims. I left the religion for christ, this increased problems we experienced in our marriage, I couldn't take, I chose christ over him. We are on separation now and divorce is the next level to go.
Watchtower Governing Body of JW’s teach King Jesus is Michael the Archangel/That Jesus was murder when actually He gave His life freely/He laid down His Life for the remission of sins not for protecting His Father according to their doctrines/That Jesus died only Spiritually/ not physically.That our Mediator King Jesus is for the 144,000 only but the Governing Body is the Mediator for JW’s church members … always discrediting Calvary’s Cross of Christ that He was nailed to a pole/ the stake… that’s just the beginning
@@hildehausikujohannes7664 I applaud you. But how do you deal with others telling you divorce is not an option?
I too have a cousin who is married to a Jw they are both extremely happy he jokes well I least he will save money on Christmas and Birthday presents
My wife still a witness I disassociated myself we have a wonderful marriage and we still do best woman I ever met in my life I'm one of the lucky ones oops I shouldn't said lucky 😂❣️👍
You are very fortunate ;)
Yes I know thank you
good stuff bro
@@yourlocalhuman3526 thank you brother 👍
Sounds to me like you love him very much In my opinion there’s no reason for either one of you to apologize to God. Marriage is just difficult whether you share the same faith or not. But it’s dope to see that the both of you are living up to your vows. God has to be happy for that 🙏🏾😇
the guy is a great husband, more knowleagable of the bible, dont cheat....and yet she complains
I DID THAT TOO, I MARRIED A JW AND IT WAS HELL AS SHE TRIED TO RUN AND RUIN AND CONTROL MY LIFE AND SET ME UP AGAINST OUR DAUGHTER.
I’m going through it right now man, I left over a year ago and she’s still in. They don’t realize that when they go to the hall they are thought that they are better without really realizing it. Amd that destroy families at home
My ex-wife is a JW. She believes and listens more to GB teachings than to me.
I think her husband is JW organisation and not me.
We cannot talk in good terms. She called me apostate when I shared some errors in GB teachings.
The last resort for me to separate from her.
Even though, we are divorced. I hope she can see the true colour of GB wrong teachings.
There are supposed to be errors in GB Teachings..its prophesied that Gods people in the last days would be causing much harm and damage to us on earth. See rev 11:6.
Clues are presented in the context
(in the next few following verses)
Ask him if women also went to heaven as anointed bekngs. He should say yes. Show him Revelation 14 : 1-4. Also show him Rev 7: 1-8. It destroys their 144000 doctrine.
I’m curious Did your husbands parents attend the wedding? I can imagine it may have been worse on his part to marry a “worldly” woman. I’m praying for your journey God Bless!
Wait- you married him when he was a “baptized” witness ? How did he not get disfellowshipped ? You’re trying to convert him- he’s trying to convert you- what a battle . Just live in unison as a married couple/ keep religion out of it you knew what you were getting into. Focus on your children
The Watchtower is calling the shots in his life and they control his beliefs. They are telling him what to believe, they can change interpretation of scripture because they lack the Holy Spirit.
He was not baptized when we got married.that didn’t happen until about 3 years ago
marrying outside the faith is not a disfellowshipping offense in the Jehovah's witness faith structure. it is strongly discouraged. an elder would be removed from his position were he to do so. others in the congregation would be reproved, and be 'marked' as spiritually weak.
They don't get DF for that
You spoke my mind.
How did you get married to a Jehovah witness and he is not disfellowshipped immediately. Can’t be.
Your husband per the organization was disobedient in Marrying you, how was he and the organization allowing this? Again pre marital sex, mmmm the both of you were out of order. So you were disobedient to so many authorities, your so disodence in actions, thoughts, and behaviors. I don't know if I want to follow any of your advice, this is very confusing. The phrase I hear from you is I want, your still disobedient.
I was dating a jw but the relationship was so hard until he decided to breakup with me and met a fellow jw who he married later.. I really did love him but I believe I dodged a bullet because I'm a born again Christian and we always had conflict even in our relationship. Love is not enough to be married to a jw this cult is too controlling and they don't have limits..
Ezek 38 states the people of God have no walls gates or bars ..
I also loved a JW girl but ultimately same thing happened which is breakup.
How you managed to move on, i am finding it very difficult as i love her alot, can you please guide me?
Exactly… you DID dodge a bullet. They’re a cult in every sense of the word.
I too are married to a jw,she is lovely woman puts no pressure on me because she knows what type of man i am.I have had to be very firm with the elders and tell them I am not interested but they keep persting;I enjoy the look on there face when I say NO Not Interested.
Good for you bro. Look after her, one day she is going to need you to rescue her from this terrible organisation/cult...

Type in Ex JWs on TH-cam and find out all about the Watchtowers lies.
We do believe in Jesus we accept him as the means of our salvation, we just don't believe he is superior to God. All the best in your marriage ❤️.
I don’t believe he is superior to God either. But the question is…. When he humbled himself and came into the world as a human- what was his nature before that?
The Bible tells us:
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:5-11
He was in the FORM of God… he absolutely was not Micheal the Archangel.
Prayers for you to find the Truth in Jesus ❤️
@@sweethoneybee8518 many times he is called a God a lord and a King and there's nothing wrong with referring to him as such. We do, our whole religion is actually central to Jesus and his role in our redemption from sin via his death. He's just not at par with God in OUR understanding of the scriptures. On the archangel issue that's a topic that really needs time because as it stands we already have fundamental differences. I'm genuinely not here to argue or negate your personal experience.
Jesus is NOT God, nor did he claimed to be. The Jehovah witnesses got it right even if the world detests them. That's one sure sign of they having plenty of the truth on their side. Many of you all truly need to go back and learn!!!
@@ifakemiawogbile8573 Thank you so much. I just can't wait until we all come together as followers of Christ. I don't know why JW gets so much hate.
Your Jesus has no power cause your Jesus is not God, you rely on your works to save you how good you practice as a ladder to earthy paradise. When you say the means this means this word says it all it had to be done so we can have our organization as it is today.
Have a lovely day everyone! :)
She prays to god to help her husband ? worship Jesus ?? Find the mistake ! (and does not even realize that JWs also acknowledge that Jesus sacrificed himself on behalf of sinful mankind. I disagree with the whole concept, but this is what JWs believe and all other Christian religions / cults believe. And that Jesus sacrificed himself obeying gods orders. In the Catholic church, the Protestant churches, in her church .... Jesus is very important - and god is above him. Again doctrine not my opinion.
I happen to know a lot of JW doctrine as well (knew people well that are / were JWs) never was one myself - I have never heard Jesus be described as an angel or archangel (Michael or other). Maybe that is a detail that I missed - think of it like: what did Jesus and also Satan do before they god involved with earth ? Well Satan was an angel very high up in the hierarchy until his rebellion (and then misleading Adam and Eve). As for Jesus he is not really talked about before he showed up in form of a human baby. He is the son of god - but then one could argue all angels are creatures of god (and even Adam).
I think she totally misses the point of JW doctrine when she obsesses about the idea which kind of angel Jesus was before he was sent to earth (as per doctrine). Technically speaking he might not even have existed before (I think most Christians implictely assume that he was a high ranking spiritual being that manifested itself in human form (a zygote / embryo / fetus / infant).
I am a comparative religions researcher and a Christian. I have collected the Watchtowers material going back to the days of Charles Taze Russell and looking at the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society', there is overwhelming and solid prophetic failure claims concerning the end of the world. I have learned this about the Society, they claim to be God's channel of communication here on earth, they claim to be the faithful and discreet slave, and they have claimed to be a prophet. As I said their prophecies have a proven track record of 100% failure and then the leadership turned around and blamed it on the rank and file JW's for getting their hopes up too high! So my question to JW's is this: If the Watchtower Society is a false prophet, why should you believe the doctrines of a false prophet?
My parents were missionaries in various countries in South America. I was born in Peru. As a teenager, I stopped going to church partly because of the hypocrisy, lack of brotherhood, and nonsensical teachings. After13 years of being a hippie surfer and professional guitarist, my girlfriend began studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. We married, she got baptized, and within a year I also became a JW. I've been one now for 46 years, have a great marriage and we continue to be living the best life ever 😊
I love the way you parroted "best life ever" like a drone.
You know there is something wrong in the organisation, you know that deep down, yet due to your sunken cost fallacy, you cant bear to think that it is false.
We will pray for you.
He should of been dis fellowship when he was courting you it’s a big no no
Totally agree , getting a girl pregnant you'd be out the door quick as a flash .
I can relate to that, let me tell you, a very stunch jw lady, wanted for us to get married, but what I knew about Jesus Christ, I just couldn't do it 😢
Just keep on praying and reading your bible so that you may remain strong! Don't hope for quick solutions because there are none. Your struggle is one of endurance. In the long run it will all pay off.
Thanks for the kind words. I guess I ran long distance in high school for a reason- so prepare me for this season;)
Appreciate your encouragement
Ron is a fortunate man to have you as a wife. You are blessed of the Lord. How about your four children? Do they go to church with you or the kingdom hall with hubby?
I just hope he leaves you, not the other way around.
It's about the marriage not the religion. Focus on the relationship not him as a JW. Let him see a difference.
I am praying for you to have your husband come to Jesus. Jehovah's Witnesses are blinded by their beliefs because they have been brainwashed.
Sure!
Wow! Brain washed from what? The truth? Stop lying just read the Bible for once.
@@markxnex973 you're brainwashed dude. I read the Bible without the Watchtower and that's how I woke up. Jesus is God dude. Just read John chapter 1 and 1 John 5:19, 20.
@@caroldanvers265 no i am not reading from a Bible that was written from a man. Jehovah doesnt want that and lemme guess you dont even know what our religion is about and youve never been to it because allllll of your evidence is from these morons who claim we are a cult and we are brainwashed and yet you call us brainwashed while your watching videos about people who are ACTUALLY BRAINWASHED BY SATAN.
I can't understand what you are saying because I am a Jehovah witness and I believe that Jesus is the son of the living god Jehovah
An that he died to save us from our sins .
Accept the VERSION of Jesus you believe ....you beleive Jesus is his own father Jehovah
Thank you so much, we are currently planning to get married, he is a JW…I love him so much and it’s hard to leave him, I have been searching for videos here on TH-cam, I guess I should pray for strength to leave him 😭😭😭
Are you a Christian who is planning on marrying a JW?
If so- I know where your heart is at! It’s hard…. And our heart can be deceiving. If I were you, ( and if I could go back in time) … I would have done my research BEFORE getting married and lovingly explained why I couldn’t be married to someone who believes in a false Jesus and a whole slew of other things…. In hopes that it will get him to think, and research… leave the organization is NOT leaving Jehovah- it’s finding Jesus:)
Then maybe in the future…. He will come to Jesus and then come back to you.
Every marriage is hard though and every marriage has problems- but I can tell you, I believe God will honor your decision to point him to Jesus and walk away… if it’s meant to be, it will be. ❤️
Praying for you and him!
Please, please, please don't marry a JW. You will spend a lifetime living in regret. It may break your heart right now, but you will be brokenhearted for a lifetime if you marry him, to say nothing of the pain your children will endure-no birthday parties, ostracism by other kids, really a joyless childhood
@@sweethoneybee8518 Thank you so much for the advice and this video,I decided to end the relationships, honestly it hurts and feels like I won't find a better person than him but I think its better than being unhappily married.
@@jancollins6878 Imagine the horror of avoiding God dishonoring PAGAN celebrations. In a weird coincidence not one of the 25 Billion people who ever lived suffered 1 second of harm by not celebrating their birthday. That God damn Bible in Ecclesiastes 7:1 is stupid. We hate the Bible. If the Bible says something its a fucking lie.
Dont marry him girl
50 years married and 40 of it to A JW. Very long story. My only advice to you is hold tight to your children, pray God's protection over their minds and hearts. It's lke I told my husband " I'm responsible for their spiritual upbringing too." Don't let your husband tell otherwise. I've been a Christian sense the age of 10. I have 3 daughters, 2 know Christ but one remains a JW. Very hard because now I have 4 of my 8 grandchildren being raised as a JW. The struggle is real. Stay strong! Thanks for sharing! ♥️
This is what I'm scared of.
@@k3ati me too, and that’s nothing I ever want to happen!
Be careful and do right decision if you are in a complicated situation.
i'm so sorry for you. just pray for your family. God brings bad together for good.
JW belief in Jesus Christ as son of God, as our saviour. How we live our lives matters more than mere principles. Jesus said we should direct our prayers to Jehovah God the father of Jesus Christ.
Amen
But you don't believe Jesus is God, you believe he is actually archangel Michael, right?
@@Chelzebelles Yes thats the belief of JW, JW worship the Jehova and not Jesus.
@@Chelzebelles She prayed to god the heavenly father ... JWs think that Jesus is the son of god.
@@franziskani since when?
No religion allows for thinking for yourself. Not yours not his. Religion causes social problems. According to the Bible Jesus didn't have or taught a religion. He taught love of your fellow man, even if your fellow man had a difference of opinions or thoughts. I believe that as long as your a decent wholesome human being, your good to go. Religion separates mankind. They each think they are the only right one. So if your husband is a good husband and father why do you want to get rid of him. There's something called working it out. Especially for your children's sake. It's devastating for children who go through divorce.
I don’t want to get rid of him…. I’m on TH-cam sharing my situation and journey to connect with others in a similar situation. it can often feel like we are the only ones
i hope he wakes up. keep praying for him. There are counselors out there. i recommend shunnedpodcast.com. he can help. not expensive either . He will help.
P.S. dont let your husband take the kids to the Kingdom halls.
That’s nice. Because you cannot get divorced. Or actually HE cannot get divorced. Unless you are unalive. And until YOU become a Witness, you are STILL considered a “divided” family. Meaning, YOU are NOT one of THEM! So either wake up to the “truth”, or else remain as an “outsider”. Good luck to you. 😊
Melissa, I would love to get in touch with you. Im also a christian married to a JW and would love to connect with another Christian women married to a JW.
I’d love to get in touch with you too!
If you are on Facebook- there are about 25 of us on here - it’s been a helpful support group- would love to have you

I know it's common for people to talk about "asking Jesus into your heart," but that's not Biblically accurate. It's a form of "Christianese," which is not Biblically accurate (Scripture doesn't tell us to do so. It tells us to trust only in Jesus' sacrifice. It also predictably creates a problem of assurance of salvation because asking Jesus into the heart doesn't save). It confuses the end with the means. Also, it's counterproductive with JWs because they are taught NEVER to "invite Jesus into their heart" (or life) because they will get a demon instead. It's best to present the Gospel by showing from John 3 through the example of the serpent being lifted up that it was a one-time event (which is why Jesus used it as context for 3:16 and it refutes the mistranslated idea of 'exercising faith'). I know a lot about this because I was raised in a situation where my Christian Dad was married to my fourth-generation JW Mom. Dad just died and now we kids are focused on trying to accurately and simply continue to present the Gospel to my 89 year old mom who has dementia. Blessings.
Do you know that Jesus claimed to be God? in John 2:12-22, He said that He would raise His body after He died. In Acts 2:32, 3:15 and 10:40 it says that God raised Him from the dead. Tell your husband to look up those verses in their New World Translation.
Hi SweetHoneyBee. Just found your vid & channel. Great vid and great subject. I'm exjw too and have an exjw channel. Yes I escaped the cult and abusive marriage. My ex was not a JW... JW teaching repeatedly quote 1Peter 3 for JW wives when they have an "unbelieving" husband so they (the husband) can be "won over to the faith". ...
It never worked in my marriage but anyway, I just wanted to say great job on the video. Please be aware that if your husband has rejoined and is now a practicing JW, they are very heavily indoctrinated when attending all those meetings and within the literature. And JWs speak out publicly in a very negative way from their platforms about "wicked Christendom" which is every christian religion except JWs, at least they did when I used to be a jw.
If he is now a practicing jw (or even just a jw believer not practicing) and becomes aware of this public video, it may not go down well with him and his congregation elders. The moment a person speaks out publicly against JWs, the JWs are indoctrinated to believe that that person is an "apostate".
They used to teach an apostate was just somebody who left JWs and spoke out publicly against JWs but not anymore. Every person speaking out publicly is considered "apostate" by the average JW.
To a JW, an apostate is viewed as more wicked than the worst criminal. An apostate in the JW religion is described as "sinning against the holy spirit" and will have no place for God's forgiveness.
To a JW and their unbelieving family members, it's a very serious matter! It's very shocking and frightening for a JW to be confronted with an apostate situation and what they are brainwashed into believing what an apostate is. Even the word apostate wells up a frightening spirit within a JW person. I know from experience after losing my jw sisters and we were all very close in our hearts to one another.
They will avoid an apostate at all costs, believing it will protect their own life and what they believe to protect the lives of their children at Armageddon, soon to arrive.
A JW will go into survival mode and shunning and avoidance of the "apostate" will begin no matter how much they love or like a person. It's an automatic response of being taught it's how you show to God that you "love Jehovah God more than any other human". Unfortunately, JWs are taught to love with conditions.
So please be careful with everything surrounding the subject of speaking out with your YT channel and FB. JW stuff creeps into every nook and cranny of one's life and one's marriage. It's amazing that you have been able to keep your marriage together for this long and not let him passively change you into becoming a JW and allowing your children to not get indoctrinated. Unfortunately the biggest majority of JWs will have an alterior motive for being friendly to other people ie to try and win them over to become a JW. I hope and pray you and your children never get indoctrinated into the JW cult.
Hugs sister 🤗. Trusting all you pray for comes to be true.
Ask your husband if he believes that JEHOVAH GOD is a JEALOUS GOD. ASK IF DOUBTING THOMAS BELIEVES IN JEALOUS GOD. Take him to john 20 vs 28. We will pray for your husband.
Yessss!!!!! “My Lord and My God” - I quote that all the time. And the first time he saw it, he was totally thrown off and didn’t know what to say. Thanks for praying for him!
Thank you so much for making this video.
I am 63 year old and Christian (follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, believing in the trinity) deeply in love with a 62 year old man who is JW. We have been friends for 15 years. He’s widowed and so am I. We’re a young 62 and 63 old. We’re not going to get married but that doesn’t take away the love I have for him.
I recently found out that he was an actual elder in the JW faith. Mind blown on that one 🤯 I don’t have the energy to go back and forth with him about our faiths.
I will need to resolve my feelings about this man and grieve the relationship I thought would eventually end in marriage.
I feel for you but you should have known better. It's like marrying an alcoholic. I started writing this before you said that you parents warned you. I was going to say, "I bet your parents warned you". Well, you can't reverse the clock. I wish you the best. I couldn't do it. I'm not as patient as you. God forgive me & God give you strength.
You just said the most important part of your message, if I hadn’t married him I wouldn’t be the Christian I am today. I’m sure it’s been hard on you, but you chose this, try being the child of he’s. I wasn’t asked and I didn’t have the choice. I was born into it, and I was bitter over it for years until I realized I wouldn’t be the Christian I am if I hadn’t been put in it. We have been refined through our struggles, just pray the lessons not be wasted. Yes you chose it, yes it might have been different, but I do not believe in mistakes in Gods Kingdom. You have a purpose and a mission. Continue to help others even if he never changes, it’s not your place or ability to change or save him. And above all praise God you are not lost as he is. God bless
TY for this video; it came at a time of great tribulation for me and my JW wife of 20+ years. By chance, do you have a link to your support group? Assuming we stay together, I’d love to hear others strategies on coping. Again, TY for your courage!
I'm was baptised as a jw for 22 years and left, and also got baptised as a christian I was born again, yes I was really "saved" but I left both religions. I know you feel like your husband Is not saved but this is the very reason why I left religion. It divides good people who all think they have "the truth" whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu etc. My advise to you is just to love your husband and stop worrying about him being saved. It sounds like you have a good marriage despite the division in faith. Just don't let it get in the way and you'll be OK. Neither of you are right the world is full of good people who don't know anything about Jesus. It's not important. All that's important is that your a good person. All religions teach to love each other and have a version of the golden rule. Whatever happens when we die is not dependant on loving Jesus and being saved. Otherwise billions of people are doomed. Yes have your faith and let your husband have his faith. But don't let it ruin your marriage. I hope you can both find peace and realise that the world is bigger than Christianity. Sending you both love ❤
Christians are to witness especially to our loved ones. religion kills, Christianity is a relationship with God
Been thru it . for me the in-laws were the big problem
I'm an exjw who is now a Christian who attends church. My husband is still a jw. It's so hard. I pray they come to the Lord... all of our loved ones who are stuck in that cult. 🙏
TH-cam search street preachers who preach to Jws. Very helpful to know how to talk to them using the scriptures.
Let me tell you something sister I left 2018 I've been associated with witnesses since 1973 I got married 2016 to witness woman she's wonderful and I left I wrote my letter of disassociation and I left and we're still together we have a happy marriage she's great she knows when she has it good I'm not your normal witness I'm like a rebel witness I did at least as possible and I never hung out with anybody I had my own friends that I had since I was in school that never changed so when I left it was like another day didn't even mean anything ❤️👍😂
I wish you the best in your new journey. I hope your love can conquer all
It has so far thank you ❤️👍
Remember this lovely lady . The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you . That same spirit with the powe of pray can turn your husband around . No weapon formed against you can prosper. When the😮 enemy comes in like a flood God will raise up a standed. You are walking in victory. No pray no power. God is on your side
You're in a tough situation but there is hope. He will eventually open his eyes, make him watch the Vice documentary on Jehovah witness it came out last week on 7/28. He will be shock to see what is going on in the organization...is he making you watch the zoom meetings? That's pure torture right there.
I didn’t know about that documentary- thank you! I’ll check it out and hopefully he will see it too.
I do not watch the meetings. But he makes our children sit and watch ( they agree- pure torture)
@@sweethoneybee8518 wait a minute...are u saying that u allowed him to raise your children as JWs? Oh my goodness...that changes everything. I was sympathetic to u till that. I'm a Christian and I would never allow that to happen and u know that God hates that. You have to save those children.
I grew up as a witness. My dad converted after my parents got married. He forced us kids to be raised as witness and because my women are supposed to be submissive, my mom had no say. My dad dominated the whole house. All I can say is love, respect, communicate, with each other. I can see that it can work with all of this, however stop trying to convert or change each other. You can only do you. Religion can/will cause a wedge if you try to force it on others. You are not responsible to make him change his religion, or to interrogate, or to tear his religion down.
How did that effect your relationship with God?…. Being forced to be raised as a witness?
@@sweethoneybee8518 Lets say im agnostic. I want absolutely no part of any organized religion. I do not think you need to attend a church to be religious and/or spiritual. I had way too much crammed down my throat growing up. I have to say im tired of being preached to/at.
As rev 11:18 describes the need for God to intervene before humankind ruins the earth..
That same chapter refers to the 3rd temple which is to allow right minded people to worship God acceptably in the last days of this system of things.
Those involved in true worship are told ..AUTHORISED by The Almighty ..to strike earth with plagues..referring to Gods people as the two witnesses/ prophets.
Christianity is not religion it's a relationship. Christians are to witness especially to our loved ones
Thanks for sharing. The good thing is that you have 4 lovely children with a man you love. You should give him some hints in areas he should study in JW doctrine as he need to figure this out himself. You are so strong.
I'm not married to a JW but one of my best friend is JW and she would benefit to really study as she is so into it.. hard!
That’s very true… so much to be thankful for.
The topics that come up the most are 1914, who Jesus says he is and the physical resurrection ( the first time I asked him this- he said of course he was physically resurrected- and I told him that was boy what the watchtower taught- of course he changed his mind and said it was spiritual.
What hints would you suggest I have him focus on?
I just saw the second part of your message about your JW friend- praying that the Holy Spirit will direct her and guide her to the teachings that will open up her spiritual eyes
@@sweethoneybee8518 I have been thinking so much about this but I'm so scared to push as their training is to avoid listening. Each time I have said something I can see that they have doubts but are trained not to take it any further.
I have said to other JWs that why are you coming to us to question our faith and not listen to our false leaders when it's only the GB that are allowed to do "research" and then come up with these 180 degrees turn around in New Light.
I think the Shepard of the flock reading would be a wake up call for any JW husbands and wives. It shows the how the organisation should work and its not a loving arrangement...just a structure to get people scared to stay...
@@sweethoneybee8518 You might want to try the issue of 607 B.C. for the destruction of Jerusalem being the source of their 1914 chronology. If it goes, everything following it goes. You might ask him "Honey, could you show me quality sources (not Watchtower) that affirm the 607 date is the correct date for the destruction of Jerusalem?" He shouldn't be able to, because the 586-587 chronology is accepted by all (or almost all) qualified academics - even secular ones. Hopefully he would try hard to show you the so-called 'truth' abou the date, but would realize there's a real problem there. There are a few other sources under "Jehovah's Witnesses, chronology" in the bibliography that I put together. If not, you might ask the Holy Spirit to direct you towards a topic (there are quite a few listed) that would do the most to destroy your husband's trust in the Watchtower. archive.org/download/english-spanish-books-for-ex-jws-jws-others-11-9-21/ENGLISH%20%26%20SPANISH%20BOOKS%20FOR%20EX-JWS%2C%20JWS%20%26%20OTHERS%2011-9-21.doc
Lol 😂 who says JW, don’t accept Jesus? What are you talking about Willis.
As their Lord and Saviour.... ?
@@Greg76131 What is the difference, please? Can you be saved if you believe in God but not in Jesus? God says in Isaiah 43:11 that besides Him there is NO SAVIOUR. So who is Jesus..?
They accept only the organization
They preach what you can have in harmony with the bible what is she babbling about?
They think that Jesus is an archangel?!!
That's totally wrong. We not only talk to Jesus but we do as he commanded and approach Jehovah THROUGH Jesus.
Interesting how she ignores th headship arrangement that would be in her own bible n bad mouth her husband to the world!?! 🤔😒
Assuming you're a JW, I'm just genuinely asking this:
Countless *deaths* due to refusing blood transfusions, so many of which are just children
Endless amounts of people having their lives uprooted due to being shunned, something that's unbiblical
The organization started out as a publishing business before becoming an actual religion, a big red flag
These are just a few things that show why the JW religion is questionable, to say the least. But many refuse to acknowledge these factors, or outright ignore them. How can a belief with all this baggage be considered 'the truth'?
@benjaminshiels1824
If you could explain to me what you mean by “through” that would be helpful.
How did Jehovah create the world “through” Jesus? And in John 1:3 when it says “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” …. Do you believe Jesus made himself ?
And as far as the headship comment. My allegiance is to God first, then my husband. I truly try not to badmouth my husband- and I’m sorry if it comes across that way…it’s not a battle with him, it’s with the spiritual forces in this world like Ephesians mentions “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
If you are a JW, I am happy that you are here and somehow stumbled upon my videos. Praying for you to continue learning and reaching out to Jesus so He can reveal his true nature to you. I think you will be in complete awe of Him when it all clicks for you. He is not a created angel, He has the very nature of His father. God nature. He put on and became like his creation, a human, so He could save us. It honors the father when you honor His Son. I pray that the Holy Spirit will teach you this and comfort you on your journey of relearning who Jesus truly is.
Hi, i just need guidence, i'm a christian who fell in love with a JW, it's a special case because he had stopped studying and then we started dating, i am really in love with him but he wanted to study again the bible so we broke up, i really don't know if we can keep dating, we had talked about getting married but in a future. I am heartbroken because we are really in love but we can't date. I know studying will make him happy and for that i am happy but it really hurts to not be together. i wanted to go with him to the reunions but i'm not so sure about it, i don't know what to do.
Vanessa- I feel your pain… I vividly remember breaking up with my now spouse many times before we got pregnant and then engaged. I think deep down I knew I should not be with him, but kept getting pulled back in because love is blinding and you think it can conquer all- at least that’s what I told myself.
If I could go back to my younger self… I would tell myself to fall in love with Jesus, know his word and focus on that relationship more, know how to share the gospel message ….share it with him, let him know I loved him and then walked away out of obedience to God. Then, let God do His thing.
If y’all are meant to be together, than you will be- but God warns us not to be unequally yoked for a reason. It is hard!
.
It’s all fine and dandy if they are inactive and just dabbling, it’s actually attractive to see a man study the Bible- but once they are all in - it is all consuming, and controls so many areas of life.
I would truly advise you to share the gospel with him, then walk away and don’t get back together until he has been born again and your ready for him to be the spiritual leader of you and your future kids. 🤍
.
My hearts feels your pain- and I know it’s not an easy choice. Pray always … God will whisper to you what to do ;)
I remember I woke up from jws during the time of dating another jw woman I tried to wake her up relationship ended she got married in 6 months to someone else and I left and started my brand new life
Was you a witnesses or not because you are not it’s because you put her at risk speaking form a spiritual sister. It’s not always good for us to be in a relationship or married someone outside our faith due to problems in the long term because it’s nothing in common
That why milk it’s important to pay more attention to the red flags once’s it is their completely
As an ex Jehovah's Witness its a real conundrum for you both . All i can say is i know i couldn't be married to someone with very different religious views to me , that would be an absolute nightmare. 😐
You still lost under general Christianity. Smh
Single existential nihilist here. Take care all.
All hope you have your hubby follow the JW bedroom laws or he can get kicked out.Just telling you
you can only keep on praying he gets revelation from god and wakes up to the watchtower.
May God Bless you and your Husband.
Oh my God thank you for doing this video. You are God sent. Today I needed to hear this. I am married to a Jehovah witness for 11 years it has been soooo hard. I have days that I don’t think I can continue like this. But you are right God has been with me I don’t know what would be of me if not for our Heavenly Father.
That’s because your spirit is grieved over JW’s doctrines… Stay strong brag on Jesus lift Jesus up glorified The Father through the Son/stay bless
I'm not married to a jw, but I'm married to a immature Christian, and that's hard too. My husband is very selfish which hurts a lot. I'm always trying to show him the blessing that come with being self sacrificing, but it's like he believes he needs to look out for himself, he makes me feel very unloved at times. However, the way he is has made me grow closer to jesus, and jesus is more my husband than my physical husband is. And maybe God will cover our husbands through us. The bible says the unbelieving spouse can be sanctified through the believer. I count my husband as an unbeliever because he depends more on his self than God. He knows about God, but he doesn't trust him with his life.
@Eloise Ramsey. You can somewhat tell if he is believer or not by whether he experiences God's discipline or not. That usually shows up by repeated patterns, such as continual difficulty with fellow employees or bosses, even if he changes jobs. Does he continue to have adverse circumstances financially, or with his health?, etc.
when she was a young child, she studied for a small period of time and then stopped for a long time. her grandmother is the one that planted the seed in her, while her mother has never been a witness. i met her 2 years ago, and last year is that she started studying again and "drawing closer." i, on the other hand, believe in god but am not religious or come from a religious family. we're in love, but the issue moving forward is that she can "marry only in the lord". what advice do you have for my situation?
@Erick Luenzo. Whether or not you are a Christian, STEER CLEAR from any relationship with a Jehovah's Witness. It's not all about you and your happiness, although if you go through with this to its logical conclusion, you will see MUCH unhappiness. The Watchtower's view of you is so negative (it is of EVERYONE who's not a JW), that it is going to be almost impossible for that attitude not to rub off on your significant other. If you marry a JW, YOUR KIDS' LIFE WILL BE HELL. It's not fair to them. If I sound negative here, I have a right to. I was/am one of those kids. I'm now 62, but the years have not erased those memories of household friction, nor the sadness of realizing that if my Dad had married a Christian like himself, life would have been easier. It's still painful looking at my 89 year old Mom and seeing the lack or peace she is experiencing because of her devotion to the Watchtower (even with dementia). Even through eight years of dementia, my Dad NEVER experienced the lack of peace that my Mom does, even though he was 91 when he died. The Watchtower is such an Orwellian type of group, that for years, they even tried to dictate the sexual activities between husbands and wives in their own bedroom. I think you need to do a LOT a research on this group, because I don't think you have that much knowledge about all the ways they will attempt to undermine your authority in a marriage and with your future kids. In the non-sexual areas of your life, you will not be able to experience the 'oneness' you would like to in the other areas of life (politics, hobbies, leisure, etc.). They will cause much friction because they will always be intruding on the amount of time you would like be able to spend with a spouse. They place a LOT of pressure on how many meetings a week, study, door-to door witnessing, etc. that their people need to be involved in.
Lets be clear about this: JWs do believe that there is no salvation in anyone else except Jesus (Acts 4:12). Calling them unbelievers, and making these efforts to gather people in opposition to Jehovah is not the best way to go. It does not make up for your own inadequacies, nor does it solve any emotional problems you may have. You have a loving husband who dwells with you in peace, and you have healthy children. Your reasons for joy are abundant. There is no need for war. Nobody seem to be fighting YOU, except YOU.
Let me be clear about this.
You either preach the gospel from what God's word says or you have another Jesus that's FALSE!
She isn't trying to" start a war"... she is trying to get him saved by Grace though the Jesus!! JOHN 14:6 AND JESUS SAID: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, no man comes to the Father but by me.
If you read scripture you would know that NO ANGEL IN HEAVEN OR ANYONE ELSE HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SINS! JW's believe that Jesus was Michael the Archangel and he wasn't bodily resurrected but in a spirit form.
They have prophesized the end of the world multiple times (wrong of course) and now they claim " Jesus" took to the throne in 1914. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before.
They are Unbelievers.
Exactly
Its a cult.
You’re exactly right.
@@danielduhon7781 144,000 are the very important people who we know will make it to Heaven. For example we know for certain Elijah is a part of the 144,000 as he's already in Heaven. More than likely after Judgment Day, Abraham and Moses will be a part of the 144,000. Most Jehovah's Witness do not claim to be a part of the 144,000 as we take Heaven very seriously unlike other Christian denominations where Heaven appears to be a big party.
I am married to a jw and I am blood washed and Spirit filled. My husband left me. 4/26/20
@KGC. That's sad. I hope God turns things around for you. You did your part. If your ex doesn't come to Christ, maybe He has someone else for you. You're not under bondage to the marriage any more since he abandoned you.
I am in your shoes. My husband wasn't a JW when we got married. there is no defending yourself, no changing their minds. Hard is not the word for it. I long for my husband and I to go to the same church, I pray every day that God shows him the right way, we have been together 14 years, he has been a JW for 4 years. good luck it is a struggle. You cant talk to them about JW's.
Veey true! My son exclaims "Jesus" easily and the JW around us have ab issue with it. I try my best to keep us farrrrr away from theor double standards and ignorance! I keep praying for them
I married a ex jw for 21 years. My marriage lasted 22 years prior to his passing and I can honestly say I had the most amazing marriage. I realize I married my husband not his religion. I realize that you have to protect your marriage from outside influences and for us it wasn't what we asked of each other it was more of what others wanted us to do. I learned being equally yoke was us living in union. We always worship in Christ and now that I look back I'm honor that as a wife I stood my course and I believe that is all anyone can do as a beliver. I say this to say we all fall short and just remember to always show your husband that you love him for him for who God made him and that you are committed to walking beside him as God shows him who he is. Especially in that religion - be blessed
Thank you for your honest encouragement
He was ex-jw or JW?
@@saffronhammer7714 he was an ex jw he was non active and not attending meetings or practicing under the religion prior to us marrying
Well, the marriage you describe sounds like the opposite of the woman I see in this video who clearly doesn’t walk beside her husband, even more against him as he need saving. Telling how big of a mistake her marriage is. I only taste the me and us against him and them, even gathering a support group.
I don’t see much love coming out of this video. And her husband watching this video doesn’t help nor encourage to build up their marriage to become stronger, unless he demonstrates what he learns from God.
@@DennisSleeswijk are you speaking as a JW?
Jehova witnesses follow on YHWH GOD and on Jessus Christ as well, just compare their all actions for Jehova with the others actions of others religions followers, and you will see how much they working together for Jehova buy spreading Jehova Holly Bible in this world than others religions which don't do nothing to serve on Jehova like them😊😊😊😊
Thank you for your story, Blessings!
Well thank God Almighty you never ever accepted any of their programming cause I'm telling you he was always hoping that you would.
Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day, military, the flag, voting, everything we shared together for many years, we no longer do.
This is going to be an amazing testimony one day sister. ❤
Hello Melissa! JW's don't pray to Jesus because they believe they are praying directly to his father who is God. They are only able to do this due to the sacrifice which Jesus made to atone for the sin of Adam. So in all of their prayers, they say 'i say this prayer through the sacrifice of Jesus'. I remember they used to say that while on earth Jesus prayed to his god, and thats who they believe they are praying to too! In your own religion, do you pray to Jesus or God? My nana was a JW and my grandad was'nt. I'm sure she had him tortured!
Great Question…. I address my prayers to “my Heavenly Father” like Jesus modeled for us… but within my prayer I will say Jesus and Holy Spirit… just depends on the prayer…. But always ending “in Jesus name- Amen”
Look up Supernatural Conference Michael Heiser on TH-cam. It’s a long lecture but absolutely great! He mentions JW’s misunderstanding of the trinity too
Our God never forsakes those calling on him out of a sincere heart. Hang in there.
Why would god save your marriage if you went against everything you said you believe. Religion is ridiculous. The hypocrisy is through the roof. Convenient Christian.
Because He is the God of Redemption.
Why did u have 3 more kids with him then? Love is unconditional, if u r gonna stay married accept him for his individual beliefs. Religion is a bunch of bs. He thinks you are a worldly bad influence and unbeliever as well. He thinks his beliefs are the truth. Instead of making making a shitty video behind your husband's back, just divorce him.
GOD Him sefth say the Most Powerfull Force in The Universe is LOVE...Like you say ...Both of you are in Love ...Dont woried Nothing going to Break That force...Please dont let that Nothing interfere in your Mariage...
I am a Christ loving Christian my husband was raised JW he has never been a JW but he hates Christians with a passion as they are taught to. I met him in high school we are high school sweethearts I was raised in a Christian church believers of the Trinity loving Christ as our Lord and savior. I didn’t accept Christ in my life until about three years ago.
Congratulations on making the best decision ever to follow Jesus ❤️
Yes, they definitely do not like to give Jesus the worship he deserves.
JW are Christian, they believe in Christ. JW loves all people. You all have been misinformed.
@@Meme6 I’ve been married with my husband who I love every much for almost 30 years and I have known his JW family and him for 30+ years. I am not misinformed! Humbly I tell you , maybe there is denial on your part.
Nobody was raised to hate Christians. JWs are Christians!
I just started watching your video but I have to say God bless you, sister. I have dad and cousins in this and I’m praying for them and I will pray for your husband to know Jesus as lord and savior and to be free of the yolk of WTBS🩷
Being "in love" does not make a relationship a good match. What about the practical aspects? JWs don't allow certain medical procedures. What about your children? What if you are unconscious and need something. Sorry, but your father was right and it has nothing to do with your religion.
My wife and I were married in the kingdom hall as we were both witnesses. I later was found by the lord and I am so grateful.
My wife still is a believer in the nonsense coming from this vile organization while I have Jesus as my lord and master.
Yeah it's tough being in such a marriage.
Agreed i am in same situation ,it takes prayer and trust in Jesus .its tough.
Even Jessus said to pray first to JEHOVA FATHER and not to him,so I don't know why you don't doing this, and tell which religion plead the Holly book like Jehova witnesses?, no one, couse others they don't care about others unfortunately 😔😔😔😔
@@ayeshasaeed3140 Just asking are you a JW or a Muslim?
Your husband and Jesus worships the Father.
Rev 3:12 says “...I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem that descends out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.”
The name of Jesus' God is not Jesus.
The trinity is a 4th century apostasy.
Would Jesus leave it to corrupt manuscripts that were corrupted centuries after his death to teach the nature of God had changed into a trinity?
Would Jesus leave it to false reasoning to support a triune god that the Jews have never known?
Why has the Jews never worshiped a trinity?
Did the Jews worship the wrong God for thousands of years?
If you studied the bible with a Jehovah's Witness you will find the bible does not support a trinity.
Don’t talk with your husband about doctrine especially the Trinity it only give them conformation that they are right .
When I try to talk with them about doctrine I talk about the new covenant ( which they are not part of )
Or Roman’s 8 about being led by the spirit , instead of walking in the flesh , and those who walk in the spirit are All sons of god ( in their theology only 144k are )
So if they are not sons of God how can they walk in the spirit ?
Peter would give you this advice :
2 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be in subjection to your husbands, so that if any are not obedient to the word, they may be won without a word through the conduct of their wives,
God bless you sister .
Keep your eyes on Jesus ❤
1:47 (to about 1:53) Clear Indication of Cognitive Dissonance.
I personally am an atheist who views the world from a naturalist perspective, so if you want to discredit my opinion because of that, I understand. However, as a fellow survivor of JW's I have seen cognitive dissonance all my life. Where deep down we understand something doesn't make sense, but we chose to ignore it or not think too hard about it because we're scared of losing our beliefs. Its totally normal and everyone does it. Thought stopping techniques like the one in the time stamp are common among religious believers. I know because I used them SO many times.
I'm not trying to be rude, or mean. I just noticed that you intentionally stopped yourself from thinking critically about God and "his plan" for you as soon you noticed an apparent contradiction in your worldview.
Now while the thought stopping technique is evident, I can only assume what caused it. But heres my guess in the form of the logical syllogism you likely had floating in your brain.
1. Gods plan for us as humans is for our own good.
2. Due to the reasons that you stated (unevenly yoked, against gods recommendations, etc) your current situation isn't for your own good
3. Thus your current situation can't be apart of gods plan for you
However a common Christian teaching is that everything that happens IS always apart of Gods plan. Which contradicts with what you logically concluded.
Now, for the record, I don't doubt that you are happy in your marriage. I understand difficult relationship is different than unhappy relationship. A relationship can be tough sometimes, but if its constantly tough for you and the same problems arise again and again with no one conceding or making progress to fix the issue... then how can that be a happy relationship? If you do believe you are happy and can put religious differences aside... thats awesome. Genuinely. Still, even if you think that your situation is good for you in the long run... you have to admit that why would God's plan for you be something he doesn't recommend or allow? Wouldn't God then be a hypocrite? Making it apart of your destiny to do something that contradicts with what he wanted? How does that make sense? Your cognitive dissonance tried to protect you from these questions, but deep down these questions are troubling you. Research them. Find answers. Ones that give you peace. Life is about learning and growing. We all have truths we dont want to face. These are just some of yours.
Michael Ar Angel is not Jesus in Isaiah 12:1 becz Michail is comming only people those were know Daniel predicted in Daniel 7:25 He think to change time and LOW.
And those people who were not under New Low...But Jesus is comming for all people ( Gentiles) for who were under New Low.
Is it Possible...?
If you truly would read the bible you would leave the Jehovah Witnesses. Ask God to save you and receive the Holy Spirit to guide you. According to the TH-cam reasoning that you are saying, you are justifying why you are a JW. Read the bible and learn the truth.
Wow...Dont know why your husband can praey to Jesus...cause in any praey that JW made always they get to the Father ( GOD ) throught his Son Jesus...so is Nothing wrong to Praey to Jesus...
