One of the first moments that led me to waking up to the falsehoods of Watch Tower was going to a memorial, being told how much God loves his anointed ones that he has adopted them as his children and lets them know by granting them the feeling to call out to God with the words "Abba! Father!" I remember sitting there, depressed, thinking to myself "I wish God loved me that much that he would want to adopt me as his child as well."
❤dear sister Leonora thanks for sharing your story. From Australia i also left was born in left in 2020 at 80 years old. So happy to be free. Also saw the contradictions. In October WATCHTOWER 2019 stated IN THE MIDDLE OFF TRIBULATION GOVERNING BODY WILL BE TAKEN TO HEAVEN. oh dear told 2 elders who visited me it is wrong they have since changed it twice . Many blessings to you dear sister.
Thank you Leonora, for sharing your story. What an incredible courage you had to stand up for the love of the real Truth ! It's so encouraging to see how our Father makes sure that his true children will always find a way out of the Lie. I'm so glad for you that you have come to experience the freedom Jesus has promised in Jn 8 : 32. Many blessings to you from our Father and his Son ! Your sister, Nathalie 🥰
Leonora, you are a treasure. You are an inspiration to others to never give up and your searching is what God sees. The real truth of Gods word cannot be hidden from earnest folks. So happy for your baptism sister!
Which church are preaching the gospel of the kingdom around the world to all nations as Jesus Christ said? Matthew 10:16, 24:14, 28:19-20, Mark 13:10, if not only only only the Jehovah's witnesses..
@@vusimngomezulu2500I hope that you will someday come to Christ and learn the real good news. In Christ is freedom. He is the way, the truth and the life. NOT following men.
@@vusimngomezulu2500 And which church has brought so much reproach to Gods Name? The ones that bare that Name. False teachings, covering up of child sexual abuse,persecuting of victims, not a good place to be before Jehovah God and Christ Jesus.
Hi Leonora. I was born-in to Jehovah's Witnesses. At the age of 69, I read Crisis of Conscience and woke up. Now I partake of the bread and the wine and I am a child of God. It was wonderful to hear your story. Some exjw's don't believe that old people can wake up from Watchtower, but your story and my story prove that old people can still wake up.
God bless you dear sister. Thankyou for sharing your story. God's Spirit in you was telling you what was Truth. Praise God. I pray you now have true fellowship with believers. Love from Tasmania
And indeed, Gud har bevaret dig "God has kept you" Leonora! You are a beautiful soul and truly a Child of God. Thank you for your story. Our Father in heaven is good!
What a beautiful,loving , uplifting video, how wonderful it is to listen to hearts who feel the same as my heart feels, the tears of real JOY were unstoppable,on listening to my two wonderful sisters. Thank you both for lifting my spirits 😊❤🙏 Sending sincerest Love 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Dear Leonora, it's so wonderful to see how much you were blessed for taking this couragious stand and not being deceived by their Pharisean way. Now after your baptism you will enjoy a still deeper connection to Avinu and sudden understanding of things what were blurred before. Looking forward to meeting you in the kingdom :)
Great interview Leonora! Thank you for partake your expérience of your life in your strongest faith of God. You are my sister now in Jesus Christ. Leonora, you must to control the chocolate that Wendy eats. She goes to eat it in totallity 😅 Big kisses from France Pierre
@athaliahullekes2362 Hartelijk dank voor je vriendelijke woorden. Het spijt me dat het zo lang duurde voordat we bij je terugkwamen. We waren zo lang op reis en zijn onlangs teruggekomen in Canada. We denken vaak aan je en hopen dat het goed met je gaat.
Wonderful to hear the story of Leonora. It´s very faith-strengthening to listen to sincere Christians who chose to leave JW after a long life inside this lying organisation.
Thank you Sister Leonore. Very encouraging indeed. I would like to know where you got baptized. I would love to be baptized properly too. I live in Portugal and as far as I know, there is no exjw community in the city of Oporto where I live.
Wow, just wow Leonora, that those wolves deliberately prohibited you from obeying Jesus' command to drink the wine and eat the bread, how they had the audacity to say that you were not worthy but that they were! I am so very glad that their attempts to prevent you from entering the Kingdom of Heaven has failed. May our Father bless you and be with you always ❤
I did enjoy Leonora's comment at the end, though; where she said, "they have to avoid anyone or any organization that wants to take the place of Jesus." This is a common sentiment expressed by older ex-witnesses on many interviews here on YT channels; and as a 55 year slave to the "JW organization"; I agree. These men have elevated themselves as "gods in the temple of THE GOD." 2 Thess. 2: 4. They claim to be the only channel to God, which defies clear scriptural teachings at John 14: 6, where Jesus said himself, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except thru me." And at Hebrews 1: 1, 2 the inspired writer states that "God,..who long ago spoke thru the prophets; has at the ends of these days, spoken to us by means of a Son."
Dear Wendy, Thanks for a very interesting interview with Leonora. Every one has their own special story. Props to you, and your production crew for another fine video! Dutch cocoa is renown throughout the world, so enjoy in moderation...Hahaha😋😏
How are you going to love someone and get close to them without knowing and using his name? God's son had a name. Did the Father not have a name? If you believe that; then you haven't studied your Bible or the ancient manuscripts which employ the tetragrammaton over 6, 900 times. Or the thousands of secular and scriptural passages over the past 1000 years showing how the pronunciation of God's name evolved thru the latin languages, then European languages and finally into the Anglo-American pronunciations. And yes, I'm pretty sure Jesus knew the name of his father, as we human children know our father's name. At Matthew 4: 4, 7, 10 Jesus quoted Hebrew scriptures repeatedly and stressed in verse 10 that "it is Jehovah your God you must worship." "Not me, and not you, Satan."! And he prayed to his father at John 17: 6,.."I have made your name manifest to the men you gave me,"......Nobody can become a close friend with anyone that they don't know the name of!
They the Watchtower say that the ingathering of the Anointed stopped in 1935 by the year 1996 there were just over 8 thousand suggesting they were going to Heaven but now there are over 21 thousand that say there the Heavenly class so what they say about the ingathering ending in 1935 must ether be wrong or it's all one big Lie because the Scriptures make no indication of how many and when the ingathering would stop.

In Christ it is so. Through the WT... a few called to cheat.
Thank you Wendy and Leonora it is such a pleasure to see our family 👪 of the children of GOD grow.
Exactly right! It's so exciting to see how many new folks are coming to the meetings!
Good morning from Brasil my sister I'm just like you and I'm a little over 3 months out of the organization now and I loved your beautiful Letter.

Of course we uphold the name of God. YHWH which only our Father can bear, because only he exists in any sense of the word you care to choose.
