I've watched thousands of hours of ex JW testimonials and have never heard someone tell the elders " I need some space to figure out who I am without someone TELLING me who I am" I thinks that's just BRILLIANT! and that's all that needs to be said! Right there!
I wish I said that. I just lied and said I wanted to marry a non-jw to get everyone off my back, and then she left me two weeks after
Logan, everything you said is true. You did your research, good job. I did research too, and can back up everything you said. I had suicide attempts but God won't let me go for some reason. My sister committed suicide. People just don't realize how bad a cult can screw your mind up. Awesome video. Thank you for sharing!!!! ❤️
God won’t let me go either. Happy to share.
JW's have one of the highest suicide rates. Growing up a JW in a small MI town in the 70's was awful. It should be considered child abuse. I was held up by my hair in front of my math class for not saluting the flag. Now they care more about football than their flag so what good did it do? Just so they could check the persecution check box.
😢😢😢😢
Rest in Peace to your sister .im sorry for that loss
Logan: I was addicted to porn since the age of 12 and masturbated all my life. All I can say is I'm no longer ashamed of it. What is the downside? You didn't get STD's, bring unwanted children into the world, missed the chance of hurting someone. Sex addiction is a real thing and it manifests mainly in people what have undergone extreme trauma. I was in an extreme violent home life that if I tried to let anyone they would never talk to me again (especially elders). Sex addiction is a side effect of experiences you should have never be exposed to so there is nothing to be ashamed about. I realized I had PTSD all my life. The good news is it does get easier as you age. The best revenge is living well, so don't be a window washer door knocker.
Way to stumble across this video! Great video man! Keep up the good work. You analysis of the witnesses is spot on. This needs more views!
Coming out of the org at such a young age and having to figure everything out in fast forward has effected us so deeply that we don’t think we’ll survive, some don’t. Fortunately you are alive to tell the story.
Jehovah’s Witness parents are known to be unreasonably strict. They’re usually emotionally manipulative. They impose a fear-based parenting style.
Fuck that.
Logan, exceptional video…thank you for your kind words and your kind thoughts..
I left that sect 45 years ago “The best decision I had made as a young man”.
My brother and I grew up in the JWs in the 60s, our parents were very brutal when it came to discipline.
Never look back to that crazy mess life.
Now, I am 62 years old, I show my children all of you videos and experiences you endured inside that sect….
Thank you and all the people who spend their time and energy awakening and alerting others of the dangerousness of the JWs cult…
Love your closing words “never stop searching for truth my friend”. Thank you for sharing your journey of taking the blinders off and going from the manipulated fan club to the frontlines of truth and asking the right questions.
❤
I agree! We can't stop the insanity unless we speak our experience/witness-survivor statement!!
@@pennybeeflower Yes the more witness statements the better! Overcoming the insanity/self-deception comes at a high price for people but only then can they truly thrive and expand their worldview beyond their particular bandwagon.
Thank you for your statement of facts and personal experience (I only use the proper legal terms, never use the word, 'story'). I'm so happy to know that you've been protected and alive to speak of your, experiencial knowledge, which is very valuable.
Logan,
Your testimony is very encouraging to those of us who have or had association with The Jehovah’s Witnesses Organization.
This cult is a crime against humanity.
Please share your near death experience with other NDE TH-cam Channels.
NDEs help, give us hope and set us free from fear!!!
Thanks Judy
You are such a brave young man! I’m glad you came out of the cult! We all have similar experiences in some form or another. I was in over 50 years!
@user-xc9qt8zu6v “Judgement Day” doesn’t mean a thing to me anymore!
So pleased to find your experience today it’s lifted me up! I feel like I’ve come to same conclusion as you! Just out a few months ago after 36 years started studying with Jehovah’s Witnesses at 20 baptised at 22. Never felt good enough! Came out mentally and emotionally exhausted. Agree 100% with what you said. Thank you. ❤
Good to see you again! Great to know now you worship with spirit and truth!! Love ya!!
I just realized for myself last year that I grew up in a cult. The JW cult. I am living PIMO now. Never felt more free.
I’m also PIMO. Since beginning of Covid😂
@user-xc9qt8zu6v Hmm, no thank you. Please take your cult-rhetoric elsewhere.
So sorry all that happened to you Logan, happy you are doing better.❤ I woke up about a yr ago and we have so far successfully faded. You have come so far, keep going.❤❤
My mother got involved with JWs when I was 2 years old. I grew up in it. I was never baptized. I'm 60 now and feel like a lot of my life was wasted in it. I have not been associated with it for decades. I agree that a relationship with God is much more important than any religion. I am glad that you got out of it and have a real relationship with God. This is one of the best videos I have seen from an ex JW. It is well articulated and well thought out. There are so many people who have been harmed by this organization. Thank you for speaking out.
I just clicked but wanted to say it’s good to see u again
Thanks love
Thanks for your video.
So happy for you!! Spirituality should not have to feel like a 20 pound weight vest!! We are free, we need to pray for others in similar situations. We are all God's loved children.
Logan, you are so brave to abandon this cult early in your life.
Your freedom is of the utmost importance and wish you joy and happiness in your future journey. ❤❤❤❤God is love.
Great story telling ! more videos like this one please ! I was left hanging with some of the points. :) Good day and Lord bless your journey which has been all but easy.
i love your video, so sincere and open, thank you
Wow, thank you for sharing this! Never was a JW, but I know someone (who I am very close to) who is a DF’ed JW but still mentally stuck in. I. Want to help him in any way I can so been learning all I can from those who were in. I see him hurting so much and I just pray and wish he could see Jesus for who he really is and not what the cult says. Of all the hundreds of hours of testimonial videos I have watched, THIS is so powerful. I don’t associate with a denomination but do have a relationship with God/Jesus and that’s all that matters. You are absolutely right about your thoughts on there being only one religion when the Bible makes it very apparent that is not the case. I want to add that it was GB Jeffrey Jackson who was in the court hearing with the Australian Royal Commission making the comments about being the spokesperson for God … “that would be a bit presumptuous of us …” or something like that. He straight up lies about what JWs believe.
It's good to hear your story. With my poor language skills, I can keep up very well too. Btw. it was Geoffrey Jackson's testimony in the Australian Royal Commission.
Thank you for sharing! What a beautiful heart & wonderful soul 🤗🤗so good to hear from a kindred being 🌟Stay You!!
Thank you kind Sir!
I’m only about 20 min in, but my heart is breaking for you. I hate to hear that your teenage years were so painful. I’m old enough to be your mother, I would be very proud to have a son like you. I hope you have found peace and happiness.
You have a very nice, soothing voice and very articulate. I’m a new sub and will look forward to your new videos.
Thank you.
I’m a bachelor who is old enough to be a father to a person in their 20s. Hence, I’m old enough to be his father.
You are such a special person logan and feel everything you are saying. I am with you 100%
Thank you!
You are an amazing young man . I have watched many of ex-jw videos, but never one like yours. I hope your relationship with God grows deeper & fuller . God, Jesus & the Hoky Spirit be with you.
Thank you for sharing to sharing your story. This is quit a story, my son left at 16, I was a sobbing parent too..., my husband, and I are out the cult also. I hope for you that you stay your authentic self, and I hope you can see that your parents acted so indoctrinated by a false religion, that you had to suffer from it. I don't want to judge your parents, but hopefully for them and for you, I hope that they will come to the realisation that their strong principles about raising kids, was based on doctrines. So much I want to say to you, sending you a hug from the Netherlands. I am so proud of you. I left at 15, because my parents were so strict, but I decided that from that moment on, I was responsible for my own life, it was hard, I returned to the cult when I was 20, married my school heart sweetheart,, we raised our child in the cult, but I always learned from the way my parents attempt to raise me. They thought it was the right way, but it was not.. I made my mistakes too, I gave advice my son not to be friends with ''worldly'' people....but in the end I apologised to him that that was wrong to say and now he is living his life, at 40, married with the love of his life and raising his kids with a open mind.
I have huge respect for you and I am only in 21 minutes in your video:-) to listen to more but I had to take a pause to write you.
So nice to hear from you again. Your testimony is powerful. Stay strong in God’s word brother in Christ Jesus. 🪴
Absolutely loved this, watched the entire thing. I’d love to hear more about your experiences with other worldly beings, aliens, you’re NDE etc. I jumped head first into witchcraft too & had similar experiences that lead me to NDr stories, tho never had one myself I have experienced astral projection. There’s definitely more going on here than what the Bible shows. Please make more videos, your experiences are fascinating!
Thanks ean. The truth is far stranger than fiction. We're in a matrix, in more ways than one.
Hey, I'm not an ex JW, but my parents were very controlling, I was homeschooled, etc. It wasn't any theological issue, it was my mom's personality disorder. I took a personal freedom inventory and scores in the prisoner range. I didn't leave until I was kicked out in the middle of winter (I have health problems and was told that I was lazy, so basically I almost died). Anyway, the part where you said that God didn't answer your prayers until you left resonated with me. It was so confusing and still is. I felt tortured. He did answer my prayer though and sent someone to help me. Anyway, we're not alone!
EDIT: your family dynamic gets more similar to mine the more I watch
Hey. Yeahhhh. The religion wasn’t terrible, it was my family dynamic more than anything. Sadly many families are the same or worse inside of religious cults.
Thank you so much for your experience, especially your out of body description. I am reminded of Matthew 10 26-31 and Psalm 139. Also your feelings at that time of being 1% earthly and 99% spirit or soul. May our almighty Father stay with you and may your work lead many ex witnesses to find rest and peace. Psalm 4 8. I didn't just put that because you're yawning though. Lol. 😀 PS I do not belong to any denomination; its about our relationship with our Father God and our Saviour. You are so right; the only true Christianity is based on the gospels, those who knew Jesus Christ Himself, not man-made doctrines. Psalm 146.
Oh, you have a beautiful name too! Beautiful heartwarming story!
My name? Thank you.
You are a very clever young man. Thanks for this testimony! You're so right about JW's organization.

You should do voice/audio work! You have a great voice!
Well done! I am so impressed by you. You have individuated. It is not an easy step. I left JW Corp over 20 years ago and never doubted for a second that it was the right thing. My gut tells me that ALL religion is false religion. Christ does not dissfellowship.
Amazing! You are awesome and so real. Thank you. Hi from Portland
I’m in Portland! Haha
Thank you Logan I enjioyed listening to you and wish you all the best! I've been disfellowshipped for alost 45 years for smoking I used that as my way to get out but I haven't smoked for years but would never go back. .God bless you!😊
We all got caught up in this cult , fear based religion , happy your out , thanks for sharing your story
Where the F*ck have you been?? Good to see you! You look great! :D
Wow! The struggle to become a normal, healthy man under such difficult circumstances! Your honesty is compelling to me and kept you sane, I'm sure. I'm also a fellow attempted self-terminator, btw.
One piece of advice from my experience, if it doesn't seem too arrogant to say so, is this: Don't underestimate your brain's ability to have produced the strange experiences you described. I think it's good to question everything one believes and experiences. You've grown up with beliefs in a higher power and, I believe, these beliefs have 'simply' been transferred to a new model.
Please look at objective evidence and 'what is more likely'. There's love out here from those who 'believe' and those who don't. I'm one from the latter camp (who enjoys reading the bible, as a great piece of literature and propaganda).
Good luck in your future endeavours.
Seeing physical supernatural things like possession, objects thrown across rooms and people punched and attached, I beg to differ. I had enough moments that caused me to realize it wasn’t my own mind.
And don't ever go back! From an ex devout who disassociated in January 2023. Weekly therapy saved my sanity. Sending you love 💕
Wow, please you are loved, the cult is what it is, those people are just crazy, you are precious life is worth living, you will look back in a few years and will in a much better place,
Ahh love bombing is what they do trust me what you said about your youth is what a lot of younger bros we’re dealing with I’m my 44:16 generation in the 80’s great video!!!
Thank you for sharing! All the things I'm learning about since I've been out, about beings and creatures that supposed to not exist, do exsist! Im learning about so many things, and then I look at current jws and religions and think, they have no clue! But religions don't talk about them!😳
I was born and raised in jw i left at 16 after i got sick and no one from jw came to see me because my dad got shunned..all My friends didnt support even calling i fell in depression tried committing suicide.. that's 9yrs ago i stopped fellowshiping with them because alot more happened Today the elders came to my house to ask Why i stopped going and my mom stopped going a Year ago....i was confused it took them 9 yrs to realize i left ... Am glad my family left Coz now am rebuilding my relationship with My mom coz i wasn't close... Due to what they teach i still have issues dating coz it feels wrong to even talk to guys it's crazy
I enjoyed your video. You’re a strong young man.. I agree 100% all orgs are fans of GOD…❤❤ welcome to your freedom…
Logan,for a young man,you have so much intelligence and wisdom!As for my sister out in Australia and her eldest daughter?I wish they had your brains,wisdom,then they wouldnt be in that evil mind control cult!!Mind you when Lynn my sister stayed in Scotland before she moved to Australia,that's when the witnesses got to her when she was a naive teenager.Maybe,one day,herself,her daughter will waken up!I hate seeing them being screwed over for their money and their lives giving all for a paradise they will never see!
I'm really enjoying the works of Dolores,founder of the (QHHT/ Quantum Healing Hypnoses Therapy) method of past life regression! i listen to her books on Audible! Past life regression therapy! Over 40 years have shown who we are as souls and how things work! Michael Newton is another one who did past life regression therapy! He too did over 40 years of work! His book series journey of the souls!
I always tried to see demons but could never do so!
When I took drugs for some reason, I could see demons everywhere ! See the connection there?
My best theory is that there is a natural safeguard humanity has to avoid being influenced by this realm, but certain things can certainly open you up to it.
It did not take drugs for me to see demons , but they certainly help.
I feel sad for JW men. They are taught to demand respect etc. They create so much distress for themselves and their families. They aren't taught how to propagate quality relationships with their children.
LMAO for real.
Did you get baptized?
I did.
I am older and have my own story. These are very condescending and self righteousness people. I love them and pray for them. They are following a wicked path.
You are super talented sweet and very much loved by our Heavenly Father Lord Jesus Christ. Amen 🙏 👍🏻
Bro ur voice 👍
What happened to your voice?
Nothing, it’s natural
Pozdrawiam ciebie z Polski. ❤❤
Ex-JW shelters should be built across America and Europe.
Hey Logan! It sounds like you experienced a bit of derealization and depersonilization, which was the dissociation. Great video though ❤
That's an easier, scientific explanation, but no.
@@logannobles loved your story , watched the entire video!
Your parents was crazy , I'm glad you left son.
We are all snowflakes..no two people the same. Children need to be able to differentiate.
This is the problem with groups created under Western culture that attempt to adhere to a book written entirely in eastern culture. The Bible is Eastern culture from cover-to-cover.
Jehovah's Witnesses and other Western Christian sects are trying to live with one foot in Western culture and one foot in eastern culture. It doesn't work.
In the Bible and Eastern culture there is no dating.
God gave Eve to Adam.
Abraham sent for a wife for Isaac.
Hagar got a wife for Ishmael.
Pharaoh got a wife for Joseph.
Jethro gave his daughter to Moses.
Judge Ibzan sent for wives for his sons.
David sent his men to ask Abigail to be his wife.
Etc.
Jehovah's Witnesses have all kinds of stipulations and prohibitions.
Such as chaperones are required, no sex before marriage, etc.
If you are going to have no sex before marriage then you should also have no kissing or even touching before marriage. In eastern culture, physical contact before marriage is forbidden. Touching and kissing of the first steps on the stairway of sexual intercourse. Why play with fire if you don't want to get burned.
But if you are going to have all these Eastern culture prohibitions, then you must also implement the compliment that Eastern culture provides -matchmaking.
The honorably bringing young man and woman together for the purpose of facilitating marriage.
When a young man or woman comes forth and announces their desire for a marriage mate, it is the duty of the parents, and the congregation to see that becomes a reality.
I am beginning to love eastern culture more and more.

Oh dear......🙄😳!
You say you should not have a middle man between You and God??
Try reading the bible where you will find JESUS is the ONE and only mediator that you NEED to get your prayers heard!
Our Lord Jesus shed his blood for ALL to come into him and receive life..... Without him there is NOTHING!! 🤔💯
No middle MAN. Of course Jesus is a mediator. Duh
No middleman as in any imperfect human is what he's referring to. To earthly man he way does not belong. We should not be trusting in any man for our life. We are all imperfect and only perfect blood can atone for our sins. Imperfect man cannot give you life. They can take your life but not thr remembrance of you in Gods eyes. Only Jesus can reconcile us to God.
You can't be a mediator between man and God if you are God
