My mother cut me off for 40 years. They teach that your real family are fellow JWs. End of subject. You give up worldly associations for eternal life on earth in absolute perfection.
How can God order this breaking apart of families? God is love, God is our father. No father wants their children to be unhappy. At least this is how I understand the concept of God....

Jw escape ,,,, i dont Unserstand this , that the one who leaves Jehovah Return to Christ ,,,, Jesus himself was saying : my father and this is JHWH is bitter Then me , and Jesus was also Doing the Same Like jehovahs witneses , to Tell Others people about the Kingdom right or Not , iam sorrY my english is Not that good
Luckily me and my husband saw fault in the doctrine just before being baptised. Our understanding of the bible is so different now. We rely not on men to teach us but allow the holy spirit to lead us into all truth. Our faith grows stronger everyday.

You are a blessing Steve. Thank you for sharing your testimony. I was not raised a JW but joined as an adult in 1996. I was asked to appear at some intimidating hearings in 2004 because I was talking too much about Jesus. I was DF'd and given the label 'apostate' for answering yes to the elder's question "can a person have a relationship with God outside the organization?" I can testify that yes I can!! They honestly believe they are the sole channel through which God speaks to mankind. If a person believes that, they ought to stay in the organization. As for me, I believe Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through HIM (John 14:6)
Julie you should have told them that you would quit talking about Jesus. That you would only talk about jehovah and his organization. Oh if we could only go back and really mess with them. It would be sooooo fun. Then at the end of your hearing, when they are patting you on the back say, nope changed my mind. Guess I ain't in The Truf anymore. Right? As Jon Bon Jovi would say, Have a nice day! Lol
@@jimbobaggans1564 Oh Jimbo! How I've missed your spiritual gift of sarcasm (which by the way the elders also brought out at my hearing lol). Guess I missed my big moment to stand up for da truf. Perhaps you can go back in and 'splain it for both of us??? 😁
Excellent Excellent video. I was in this CULT for over 50 years. I believe in God and Jesus and am so glad that I am no longer associated with that organization. I truly wish you success and hope that you will continue to keep telling your story and helping others. Thank you for your time.
Steven what a wonderful and moving testimony of the grace of God in your life! I am so rejoicing with the saints that you have been born again! Yes Indeed who can separate us from the love of God. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD Romans 8 38-39
I'm happy to see you do this. I left 38 years ago without internet or any encouragement on the outside. I feel the same way about faith and Jesus and being born again! Peace!
Mr. Steven, you have clearly begun your spiritual journey. May you continue to find and experience the peace that comes from knowing our Creator’s unconditional love and mercy.
JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU SO MUCH JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY ,THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE ( John 14:6). LORD JESUS CHRIST AND LORD JEHOVAH IS ONE ( John10:30). JESUS CHRIST IS ONLY THE TRUE GOD (1 john 5:20) JESUS CHRIST IS GREAT GOD AND OUR SAVIOUR (Titus 2: 13) JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES AND THAT HE WAS BURIED AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES (1Corinthians15:3,4)
What a sincere video. Love the explanation of being born again. I was a born in who left almost 3 years ago. The Holy Spirit showed me so much and who the Lord Jesus is. So happy when I find born again ex JW’s. Your right so many have gone atheist and it’s heartbreaking
As a JW for 33 years and trying to Express my concern for my family who are still in, and given up on this now because of the society's brain washing they are very hard to reason with. Your straight forward testimony is both logical and emotional and strikes a chord! Your boys can only wake themselves up and that waking up has started with your loyalty to christ 15 years ago, bless your awakening and your proving true to christ and knowing that, with God all things are possible. Blessings Steve, your loyalty to christ is noticable, there's only one door (john 10 1-16) and it has been opened for you and me because it's the only way.
Go see your boys and explain yourself without being held hostage by these 8 clowns. No one has the right for any reason to withhold a fathers love. I wish you all the best.
Exactly what I think he should do. His boys are being held back by fear of man due to this organization they think is going to save their spiritual lives. I guess they are totally convinced that they will die at Armageddon or something if they associate with their father. That is pathetic. There’s no scriptural backing for any of that and they just don’t see it. But you can’t force people to see what they don’t wanna see and maybe Steve knows that.
Yes my boys and family have withheld all contact details. I couldn’t contact them even if there was an emergency. Thank you for the encouragement that one day they will see the error of the .org and leave.
I'm not a Jehova Witness but I thank you for sharing your story and I pray that your sons will one day see and experience the true and living Christ. Not through a religion but the heart and soul.
Dear Steve, Thank you for your very moving Testimony, which I’ve carefully listened to; and I’m so thankful that you have had the integrity and courage to make the decisions you’ve made. I hope and pray that, by God’s Grace, you will somehow be reunited with your family. I did not realise until now how cruel the movement you were brought up in could act like this in such a dogmatic way. I wish you Every Blessing both now and for the days ahead. Over the years I’ve met the ‘ two by two’ visitors at our door. The last time one of them asked me: “Do you know if you’re going to heaven?” I replied: “As long as you know- that’s fine”.Thanks again for your outstanding witness to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Yours sincerely, John Robinson.
Amazing testimony Steve. It was very challenging to me as I never want to engage with JWs at the door, but this has given me faith. So sad about your family. It’s a cruel operation to spilt families up. 😢
Wonderful testimony l do hope that you also have found fellowship with other born again believers on a Christian church. We all need to share our faith.witj others.

Praise God for your testimony. The Holy Spirit has definitely changed you and you can talk about your JW past without hate and anger. I'll pray for your channel to help lead more JWs to Christ!
Well I to have say I did my research and people I read the bible and I have family that are JW's they believe in Jesus that's why when you pray they pray in Jesus name.
@@jaredtyson6554 ghe gospel is repent towards God the father believe in God the Son and receive God the Holy spirit or ghost. A ghost or a spirit is a person not a thing. In other words be reconciled to God. The apostles said they had the ministry of reconciliation as did John the baptist and Jesus. Paul preached no other gospel. Not become a jw and be saved. Saying something in the name of Jesys is absolutely pointless if you're still dead in your sins and you haven't been reconciled to God.
Thank you Steve!!! I left last yr after 53 yrs.! The scriptures you shared are so simple…we were so blind as JW’s! I liked what you said about not blaming family because they’re being controlled by an organization! Look forward to future videos!
Hi Virginia. My name is Judith and my husband and I left the organisation 7 years ago after 45 years in it. I really enjoyed Steve's video as you also did. So many who leave the organisation, leave their faith too. It sounds like you have kept your faith which is encouraging. It is humbling to realise how blind we were as you wrote in your comment. Just thought I'd reach out and say hello.
When a person hears and sees you, the sincerity you speak with goes straight to the heart. Thank you for pointing out that we always have Jesus to run to. May your life have beautiful blessings in the days to come.
This was beautifully done! Loved your Testimony, your use of Scripture and your love for Jesus. I especially liked the point of not where we will go after leaving but to whom, please keep doing this online ministry, it’s extremely effective and you definitely are an eloquent speaker. Perhaps when I do more interviews in the future I will be able to have one with you. God Bless you
Thank you. Mutual encouragement is so valuable. Anytime you want to contact me you’re very welcome to use my email. sjenningsgas@hotmail.co.uk. God bless.
Hello Stephen, I will share your testimony with two of my friends who left the JWO and are now born again Christians. You are a blessing to the Body of Christ and I pray that God miraculously touches your sons’ lives so they can also know the truth, be set free and reconnect with you. Only Holy Spirit will convict them. I shall remember you in my prayers for God’s purpose to be fulfilled. May you be blessed in Jesus Name
I just wanted you to know you hit the nail on the head. I discovered for myself that reading the Bible (NWT) from beginning to end was the answer to having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and Jehovah God. I can honestly say I have read it 5 times! No one can stand in between you and Christ and God. Thank you for making this video, you are the 1st I have heard of that actually read it. You figured out the answer! Bravo!
Thank you for sharing this and may God continue to bless you. "Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us"
Thank you Steve for your heartfelt testimonoak. I just want to say that you have answered all the questions I had when I first woke up.simply from the bible. The things we never saw when we were Jehovah's Witnesses.Thank you. My eyes and heart were opened up..
Very clear you’re point of view about being born again.. not clear for those who don’t want to believe or question God’s sovereignty...greetings from Baja California Mexico 🇲🇽...
Thanks for sharing Steve. I too got off the JW hampster wheel and began a verse by verse study of the Scriptures. I was always perplexed at how little recognition JW's gave to Jesus. They will say Jesus is in their publications, but pay attention to how often they use the name Jesus. It's just not in their vernacular. I now recognize that not an earthly channel, but ONLY Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! John 14:6
Hi Steve. Your testimony is great! I can relate to 90% of it, but only because I was never an elder. I went through the same embarrassing moments and fears as you, when I had to dress up for the field service and worry about calling on the door of a school friend! I was a J.W. for 42 years. I have been born again since November 2012, and have never felt so free and happy as I do now I have Jesus in my life. Good on you bro. God bless.
Greetings brother! Very touching experience. I’m so happy to hear you’re in Christ, so few are able to after being one of Jehovah’s witnesses & surviving that so ritual abuse. I too have had personal testimony after seeing the org for rust it is, I pray many more will come out of her, that there will be a greater exodus soon
I'm addicted to these TH-cam videos because they have shown me I am not alone. Coming to Christ! I look at each name in each post in hopes that one day I may find a former clone who is now a True Christian. Wouldn't that be so so wonderful.
Superbly communicated! This is so powerful. I've watched several of these types of videos and it's discouraging when those who leave choose to abandan the faith(although all are incredibly brave). This is the most inspiring video of this sort that I have seen. Thank you!!
Hi Eric. I agree with your comment. It is discouraging when people leave their faith when they leave the organisation. Just wondering whether you happen to live in Australia as we knew an Eric Mueller when we lived in North East Victoria? Just thought I'd ask.
Wow..the fact that your whole family would not be allowed to speak with you. Shows 100% that this religion is so wrong. The scripture you quoted is everything..What shall separate you for the love of God in Christ Jesus .Its so .much mind control ..But I'm SO happy for you Steve Keep steadfast unmoveable ..In Christ you have liberty freedom,
I was also disfellowshiped after years of being a JW and experienced the shunning from my siblings who remained in the organization. But I found Christ and have been a born again Christian for four years and it's a wonderful experience, that relationship with God thru' Christ Jesus. I just love it.
Well expressed, Steve! I served over 10 years as a substitute CO and 10 years as the Presiding Overseer with 100 judicial committees. I understand what you feel! Keep on!
What a beautiful (but sad) story. I almost cannot believe that an organization can have such a hold on its members. I pray that your sons, your family will see the light.
🌿🌹 Greetings from Bandra, Mumbai ! God bless you Steve abundantly ! May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you on your spiritual journey. Its wonderful that you are free from that organisation ...so many would like to be in your place but do not leave due to personal reasons. Now thank and praise the Lord for freeing you from bondage...from darkness into His marvelous light. BTW, l and my family are Born Again Christians and the joy of the Lord is our strength !👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hello Steve ! I’m so encouraged by you not abandoning faith all together as many witnesses do when the wake up. I am totally with you that it’s wrong to lash out against them, bashing them as many do. I believe that’s a disservice to the Glory of God and just gives them fonder. Thank you for your choice to expose error Which is biblical. I too was basically raised a JW but thankfully never got baptized so I haven’t experienced as harsh treatment as many others have in leaving. I was shunned by some in my kingdom hall because they assumed I was baptized and they treated me differently based on what was being printed in the watch tower from month to month regarding disfellowshipped people. I want to share with you a TH-cam channel that has been Refreshing to discover. His name is Mike Winger and I will strive to send you a link he deals biblically and thoughtfully regarding the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses you can search his channel and listen if I’m not able to send you the link. He has many videos regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses- and does a great job respectively pointing out error in their teaching!
Thank you so much Steve for Sharing your heartfelt experiences and the insight you have found on very important scriptures that Christians need to hold dear to their hearts. These are very serious matters and we need to make sure that we continue to live our lives as true Christians apart from that organization that we got baptized into. Trying to understand what being born again means to be baptized properly is quite an undertaking for truth seekers. You have done that and you’ve come to find the answers that you find satisfying. I’m trying to do that as well & but you shared today will help me in my search for understanding truth. May Jehovah and Jesus continue to bless your Life as a true Christian may He help all of us who have left the WT organization.
If there’s one thing Holy Spirit enjoys and does perfectly is reveal the Truth, He is the best Teacher. I learnt that and I have learnt that He is also our best intercessor who teaches us to pray too. I have been a Christian all my life but got to know God after my husband died when I was 25 years old leaving me with infants, unemployed. I was angry at God for 6 years but He showed up and healed me, He revealed Himself to me and I got to know Him as a Father and Husband. Please keep on seeking the Truth and pray that Jehovah fills you with His Spirit so that He can help you in your journey. Be encouraged and May God bless your heart♥️🙏🏽…His yoke is easy and His burden is light
I had those types of encounters in field service. I have come to similar understandings about the ORG and Jesus. I think among other things, we should have realized, calling it "the truth" when GOD'S WORD, says JESUS is the truth.. c"mom. Thx SO MUCH for your word here. May GOD CONTINUE to bless u & ur work on your journey. I'm 3rd Gen, 4 in family. Eyes CONPLETELY opened in 2016.
So much heart and so much hurt you have shared! Thank you ! The spirt is strong in you and you have a wonderful future in the right hands now! I was a Witness for 47 years! I served at world headquarters in Brooklyn NY for 5 years, Served as An Elder over a Decade, Service Overseer , Served in Foreign language congregations and in Dominican republic with my wife. 3 plus years ago We (My wife and 3 children that I actually personally baptized at the convention wrote our disassociation letters and turned them in the same day. The reasons are spirituality based and are sad but true. We have suffered but are building real relationships with one another and for me with Christ not Just Religion. I have yet to make any videos, but your testimony is inspiring and encouraging to reach out! Thank you for sharing the test of your life with us! I look forward to seeing you one day on the other side in true glory and love my brother! Reach out if you would like to !
Dear Steve Thank you for sharing your story. Not sure how I got this but I was blessed by your clear presentation of the Gospel. I am a practicing Christian and I don't know much about the J.W.'s. But I do know religion is often a barrier to really encountering Jesus. Thank you for your story. I am thinking of the Phillipian jailer who was saved, when Paul and Silas were praising God in prison. He and his whole household were saved. We pray that it will be from the inside out for them as well.
I was just like you, realize I was in a false religion. Then I have to go deep into the bible to find the real truth.. We are supposed to come to Christ not to any religion.. Religion is to courage us to come to Christ. But it is backwards for Jehovah's witnesses..

Jerry, I like what you said that Jesus changes us from the inside out but jws start from the outside in. No wonder it's so difficult for some when it comes to habits and whatever our sin of choice is. Great point!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. What a privilege and blessing to hear what God has done in your life, I’m sure many will benefit from your story. God bless you. Praying for your family who are still in the watchtower, God can open their eyes too. 🙏🏻
Thank you your talk on born again is wonderful I applaud you👏👏👏👏👏👏 I am so sorry that you can't speak to your children its so very sad your in my prayers God bless you.
How can anyone give this video a thumbs down? It's a lovely testimony. Faith should indeed be in Christ Jesus. Acts 4:12 Not a man made organisation. Must be the "governing body" and their little helpers that thumbed down this vid.
Your honesty & candid talk shows you have good heart. May God Bless you & may Christ strengthen & comfort you ... walking the Narrow path is hard on so many levels.
Hi Steve. Great to hear your personal testimony. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Maybe we can have a chat sometime? From a former JW and Yorkshireman.
Thank you very much for sharing this, I am posting this comment on behalf of my auntie. I particularly liked the part where you said "to whom shall we go" rather than, as JWs say "where will you go". Very helpful video, thank you again, God bless you.
Thank you for sharing your journey! I did not know these things. I pray you will be reunited with your children. I am most grateful that you are changed by the blood of Jesus and are part of His kingdom!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
I felt the same way after being disfellowshiped. I thought now what do i do. I prayed to Jehovah all the time for everything. So i i just never stopped praying. They told me nobody could pray for me so i thought well i can pray for me and i did. I also remembered a talk i herd at a meeting about a sister in china that was thrown in prison for having a bible . She was sentenced to 20 years. During that time she had no communication with any witneses had no bible to read. She carved scripture into the wall of verses she knew. Upon release the brother said she was more spiritual and joyfull than a person who was at 3 meetings a week. So i felt that i was ok to pray and have faith and strive to be christ like without being at the kingdom hall. They caused me to loose friends i loved very much and the reasons of being df was not right but they could not take away my love for God or his for me. This was part of how i kept sane and kept living and prayers were answered and continue to be. I actually felt a big weight had been lifted from me. No anxiety of having to sit in a room with 3 men and be asked inapropiate questions and fear of being shunned and they said they pray for Jehovahs holy spirit to guide them in thier decision of disfellowshiping a person and how ironic to say that when 1 or all sitting there judging you are commiting sins as bad or worse than you i dont personally feel holy spirit was flowing through them at all. Before the year was up 2 of them were themselves df.
Steven, what encouragement that you brought. One other comment from Eric mentioned how good it is to see an ex jw who did not abandon their faith in God. I've also watched several videos and even though good information was given, some say they are atheists. It's so sad to hear that. I do believe a separation is happening and this false doctrine is being exposed more and more by God.
What a genuin, open and heartwarming testimony. Thank you very much for sharing your story and for sharing those beautiful bible verses. I hope you will be reunited with your boys. Maybe this will give you some hope. I shunned my Dad and brother, because I tought it was the right thing to do to get them back. But after many many years....I could not do it anymore because I tought it was so unloving. Even if your boys are not ready yet, your new found love for jezus and new happiness and peace of mind can maybe trigger them to investigate the fact, that you and people like me, have peace of mind and are happy without the "organization". Have a great day thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much for your comment. Very encouraging to here what you say. I never give up hope because like with me when the Holy Spirit moves on a person the seeming impossible becomes a reality. God bless you. Steve
Thanks for sharing your experiences and heart, I always engage with JW's many are seeking and desire to be true. Thank goodness you found Jesus and became born again.
Your story is very touching. I will pray for your family. I have a brother who is very committed to JW along with his daughters and wife. It is sad to watch.
God bless you Steve. I cannot imagine your pain at losing your family. We have such a close relationship within ours. It makes me so sad for you. I pray with my sister every day on line. I will remember you today. God was letting you know he never leaves us. He is with us always and he has a plan for you. When doors close he opens a window no one is left in the dark who has the light of Christ to show them the way. So brave to speak out as you did.
Mr. Jennings, I am a former Jehovah's Witness too and you are absolutely correct about being born again. John 6:44 Jesus said, " No man can come unto me unless my Father who sent me draws him" Before that happens I believe we as people who were dead in sins were totally depraved until God regenerates us to be born again. Enjoyed your testimony, except the part of you losing contact with your children, I wasn't born in the organization I was a proselite and the only one in my family who joined the organization. My experience was alot easier than yours because I didn't have family in Watchtower so I walked away only thinking that I had lost eternal life. Not until I started watching ex JW's online and then reading the Old King James Bible did I realize the Watchtower organization was not Jehovah God's organization. I then rededicated myself to God under sovereign grace, nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ to cover all my sins past, present and future. I now do good works because I am saved and his Spirit operates in me, I am not trying to earn his approval, I just want to please my Father in heaven because he loves me and adopted me and gave his only begotten Son for me. May God bless you Mr. Jennings, I will watch your next video if you choose to make one.
Tulip, I appreciated your sharing of your experiences in the Organization & how you have left. Especially your coming to the realization that the watchtower organization is not even teaching the truth and salvation does not come from being part of that organization but through the blood of Christ Jesus as we exercise faith in that shed blood of his. I also appreciate hearing how are you now understand what being born again measns for real Christian. I’m trying myself to get better understanding on this too. Do you watch TH-cam from Eric Wilson, Berean pickets? He has excellent videos and information posted on the Berean pickets website. He’s been helping sincere year XJW’s for many years now in their search for Bible understanding. I appreciate that he is not dogmatic and his explanations of what he has found from his continual study and research of the Bible. He’s from Canada and just recovered from a very very serious operation.
@@carolwrinkles6204 thank you, I will have to check out Eric Wilson. My name Tulip is an acronym for what I now believe Total Depravity Unconditional election Limited atonement Irresistible grace Preservation Until God regenerates our heart we are totally depraved in sin. Unconditional election is that God chose us not according to anything we have done but of his own will. Limited atonement is that Jesus died for his sheep and nothing can take us out of his hand, everyone Jesus died for is saved by his blood only. Irresistible grace is that God chose his people for salvation and we can't resist it. Preservation is no matter what happens to us we have a new home with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ reserved for us the redeemed, the adopted and the purchased possession in the heavenly Jerusalem.
Jenny Baldwin. Great to hear such a clear testimony and without sounding critical of people within the Witnesses, just the organisation itself. It would be great to hear you do more videos, Steve. Thanks
Welcome to the real world. I think those that were born in and have generations in this religion/cult have the most interesting stories. I was the very first person in my family to walk away and I didn’t know how much it affected me until years later. Feel free to stop by and listen to any of my stories.
Steve, what a beautiful soul you have. Thank you so much for sharing your honest story. You give me hope for my brother, still an Elder defending this heinous organisation. I just woke up last year after 49 years born in and have been greatly helped by JWEscape and her refusal to disregard a belief. Seeing Tyndale and Coverdale's bibles in a Bible museum started the process for me. I so hope your family wake up. Sending much love. I might add that I never felt close to Jesus as a JW, now I know why
You are an amaizing person. You have touched my heart. I recently disassociated also after 40 years and an elder some years before. I will examine your comments on being born again more closely.
I miss my family too, completely agree with you, I have been df’d for 13 yrs. I miss them all, never gets easier except knowing I’m raising my babies with an actual hope and peace with themselves ☺️
My heart goes out to you sir 💔 and all who have experienced and still living through this devastating form of punishment and manipulation. I want to think that these organizations mean well because they truly believe the doctrine they teach is true and do not want their followers to be influenced by others who reject their doctrine, especially someone whose considered an apostate. Many groups and organizations practice what I call "pre shunning" or "upfront shunning" as opposed to "post-shunning" or "backend shunning;" whereby they encourage and often demand their followers to only fellowship with members only. One manipulative way they do this is keep the member so busy and creating everything (i.e., events, meetings, holidays etc) surrounding the organization and rewarding members for committing all their time to the organization so that eventually they have no contact or meaning relationships outside of the organization. Sadly, this more often excludes relatives.
Steve, thank you, I struggled so hard with what the Watchtower society taught, I felt pulled away from what they were teaching and just wanted to know Jesus, you've truly given me a lot of comfort making this video, is there anyway of writing to you directly?
@Steve Jennings... Can you help me be a voice to a jw lady I know? We talk deep, I want to tell her 'Ask Jesus Who He really is'... For I know she's sincere and loves Jesus, but the Jesus Who is only the arch angel Michael. So she knows another Jesus ...
Hello Steve, how are you? May God Jah bless you always. I was also a former JW, my grandparents are JW, but when I came to right age, questions came into my mind, lots of questions. Wherein elders of the congregation cannot answer my queries. That's where it begins if these organization are teaching the truth.
15 years not talking to your own children??? This cult has a lot of blood in their hands!!
TRUTH!!
My mother cut me off for 40 years. They teach that your real family are fellow JWs. End of subject. You give up worldly associations for eternal life on earth in absolute perfection.

How can God order this breaking apart of families? God is love, God is our father. No father wants their children to be unhappy. At least this is how I understand the concept of God....
Great job, brother. Thank you for sharing. It’s so wonderful to see another ex Jehovah’s Witness who has turned to Christ as their Savior. Praise God.
Thanks Elaine
Keep up the good work. You work hard and it’s very effective in reaching people.

Jw escape ,,,, i dont Unserstand this , that the one who leaves Jehovah Return to Christ ,,,, Jesus himself was saying : my father and this is JHWH is bitter Then me , and Jesus was also Doing the Same Like jehovahs witneses , to Tell Others people about the Kingdom right or Not , iam sorrY my english is Not that good
Luckily me and my husband saw fault in the doctrine just before being baptised. Our understanding of the bible is so different now. We rely not on men to teach us but allow the holy spirit to lead us into all truth. Our faith grows stronger everyday.

Sarah, whats you belifes now,, ,???
You are a blessing Steve. Thank you for sharing your testimony. I was not raised a JW but joined as an adult in 1996. I was asked to appear at some intimidating hearings in 2004 because I was talking too much about Jesus. I was DF'd and given the label 'apostate' for answering yes to the elder's question "can a person have a relationship with God outside the organization?" I can testify that yes I can!! They honestly believe they are the sole channel through which God speaks to mankind. If a person believes that, they ought to stay in the organization. As for me, I believe Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through HIM (John 14:6)
So encouraging thank you and God bless
Fantastic. Praise God
Amen and Amen.
Julie you should have told them that you would quit talking about Jesus. That you would only talk about jehovah and his organization. Oh if we could only go back and really mess with them. It would be sooooo fun. Then at the end of your hearing, when they are patting you on the back say, nope changed my mind. Guess I ain't in The Truf anymore. Right? As Jon Bon Jovi would say, Have a nice day! Lol
@@jimbobaggans1564 Oh Jimbo! How I've missed your spiritual gift of sarcasm (which by the way the elders also brought out at my hearing lol). Guess I missed my big moment to stand up for da truf. Perhaps you can go back in and 'splain it for both of us??? 😁
Excellent Excellent video. I was in this CULT for over 50 years. I believe in God and Jesus and am so glad that I am no longer associated with that organization. I truly wish you success and hope that you will continue to keep telling your story and helping others. Thank you for your time.
Steven what a wonderful and moving testimony of the grace of God in your life! I am so rejoicing with the saints that you have been born again! Yes Indeed who can separate us from the love of God. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD
Romans 8 38-39
I'm happy to see you do this.
I left 38 years ago without internet or any encouragement on the outside.
I feel the same way about faith and Jesus and being born again!
Peace!
Praise God
Thank you JESUS
Mr. Steven, you have clearly begun your spiritual journey. May you continue to find and experience the peace that comes from knowing our Creator’s unconditional love and mercy.

As a JW for 33 years and trying to Express my concern for my family who are still in, and given up on this now because of the society's brain washing they are very hard to reason with. Your straight forward testimony is both logical and emotional and strikes a chord! Your boys can only wake themselves up and that waking up has started with your loyalty to christ 15 years ago, bless your awakening and your proving true to christ and knowing that, with God all things are possible. Blessings Steve, your loyalty to christ is noticable, there's only one door (john 10 1-16) and it has been opened for you and me because it's the only way.
Amen 🙏🤍🕊️
Amen and thank you
Amen praise the Lord Steve I’m so glad you woke up & I pray all JWs will
What a wonderful testimony, Steve. I love your heart, I can see the Holy Spirit using you to bring many JWs to a living faith in Christ
It is wonderful testimony !!
Go see your boys and explain yourself without being held hostage by these 8 clowns. No one has the right for any reason to withhold a fathers love. I wish you all the best.
Exactly what I think he should do. His boys are being held back by fear of man due to this organization they think is going to save their spiritual lives. I guess they are totally convinced that they will die at Armageddon or something if they associate with their father. That is pathetic. There’s no scriptural backing for any of that and they just don’t see it. But you can’t force people to see what they don’t wanna see and maybe Steve knows that.
@J W,
His boys won't listen to anything he has to say.
They are indoctrinated by the WT organisation.
They now view him as an apostate.
@@billyroland2758
His boys will come and find him when they leave the cult. It will come. The watchtower is hemorrhaging members.
Yes my boys and family have withheld all contact details. I couldn’t contact them even if there was an emergency.
Thank you for the encouragement that one day they will see the error of the .org and leave.
@@stevejennings8416 Here's to hope buddy! Good luck
I'm not a Jehova Witness but I thank you for sharing your story and I pray that your sons will one day see and experience the true and living Christ. Not through a religion but the heart and soul.
Dear Steve,
Thank you for your very moving Testimony, which I’ve carefully listened to; and I’m so thankful that you have had the integrity and courage to make the decisions you’ve made.
I hope and pray that, by God’s Grace, you will somehow be reunited with your family. I did not realise until now how cruel the movement you were brought up in could act like this in such a dogmatic way.
I wish you Every Blessing both now and for the days ahead.
Over the years I’ve met the ‘ two by two’ visitors at our door. The last time one of them asked me: “Do you know if you’re going to heaven?” I replied: “As long as you know- that’s
fine”.Thanks again for your outstanding witness to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
Yours sincerely,
John Robinson.
Amazing testimony Steve. It was very challenging to me as I never want to engage with JWs at the door, but this has given me faith. So sad about your family. It’s a cruel operation to spilt families up. 😢
Wonderful testimony l do hope that you also have found fellowship with other born again believers on a Christian church. We all need to share our faith.witj others.
Verse 3 of John chapter 17 "This means everlasting life their coming to know you the only true God and the one whom YOU SENT JESUS."

Praise God for your testimony. The Holy Spirit has definitely changed you and you can talk about your JW past without hate and anger. I'll pray for your channel to help lead more JWs to Christ!
Thanks for watching and for your encouragement. God bless
Well I to have say I did my research and people I read the bible and I have family that are JW's they believe in Jesus that's why when you pray they pray in Jesus name.
@@jaredtyson6554 ghe gospel is repent towards God the father believe in God the Son and receive God the Holy spirit or ghost. A ghost or a spirit is a person not a thing. In other words be reconciled to God. The apostles said they had the ministry of reconciliation as did John the baptist and Jesus. Paul preached no other gospel. Not become a jw and be saved. Saying something in the name of Jesys is absolutely pointless if you're still dead in your sins and you haven't been reconciled to God.
I like your spirit. You are so right; JW try to change you from the outside in. It's all surface. The love of Christ starts from within.
Thank you Steve!!! I left last yr after 53 yrs.! The scriptures you shared are so simple…we were so blind as JW’s! I liked what you said about not blaming family because they’re being controlled by an organization! Look forward to future videos!
You are freed indeed! God bless you, brother!
Hi Virginia. My name is Judith and my husband and I left the organisation 7 years ago after 45 years in it. I really enjoyed Steve's video as you also did. So many who leave the organisation, leave their faith too. It sounds like you have kept your faith which is encouraging. It is humbling to realise how blind we were as you wrote in your comment. Just thought I'd reach out and say hello.
When a person hears and sees you, the sincerity you speak with goes straight to the heart. Thank you for pointing out that we always have Jesus to run to. May your life have beautiful blessings in the days to come.
This was beautifully done! Loved your Testimony, your use of Scripture and your love for Jesus. I especially liked the point of not where we will go after leaving but to whom, please keep doing this online ministry, it’s extremely effective and you definitely are an eloquent speaker. Perhaps when I do more interviews in the future I will be able to have one with you. God Bless you
Thank you. Mutual encouragement is so valuable. Anytime you want to contact me you’re very welcome to use my email. sjenningsgas@hotmail.co.uk. God bless.
Hello Stephen, I will share your testimony with two of my friends who left the JWO and are now born again Christians. You are a blessing to the Body of Christ and I pray that God miraculously touches your sons’ lives so they can also know the truth, be set free and reconnect with you. Only Holy Spirit will convict them. I shall remember you in my prayers for God’s purpose to be fulfilled. May you be blessed in Jesus Name

I just wanted you to know you hit the nail on the head. I discovered for myself that reading the Bible (NWT) from beginning to end was the answer to having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and Jehovah God. I can honestly say I have read it 5 times! No one can stand in between you and Christ and God. Thank you for making this video, you are the 1st I have heard of that actually read it. You figured out the answer! Bravo!
Thank you for sharing this and may God continue to bless you. "Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us"
Thank you Steve for your heartfelt testimonoak. I just want to say that you have answered all the questions I had when I first woke up.simply from the bible. The things we never saw when we were Jehovah's Witnesses.Thank you. My eyes and heart were opened up..
Thank you for adding another voice to the ever-growing exJW community!!
Great video.
What a great testimony ! God Bless you.
GOD Bless You also.
Very clear you’re point of view about being born again.. not clear for those who don’t want to believe or question God’s sovereignty...greetings from Baja California Mexico 🇲🇽...
Thanks for sharing Steve. I too got off the JW hampster wheel and began a verse by verse study of the Scriptures.
I was always perplexed at how little recognition JW's gave to Jesus. They will say Jesus is in their publications, but pay attention to how often they use the name Jesus.
It's just not in their vernacular.
I now recognize that not an earthly channel, but ONLY Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life! John 14:6
Hi Steve. Your testimony is great! I can relate to 90% of it, but only because I was never an elder. I went through the same embarrassing moments and fears as you, when I had to dress up for the field service and worry about calling on the door of a school friend! I was a J.W. for 42 years. I have been born again since November 2012, and have never felt so free and happy as I do now I have Jesus in my life. Good on you bro. God bless.
GOD bless you also
Greetings brother! Very touching experience. I’m so happy to hear you’re in Christ, so few are able to after being one of Jehovah’s witnesses & surviving that so ritual abuse. I too have had personal testimony after seeing the org for rust it is, I pray many more will come out of her, that there will be a greater exodus soon
Thank you JESUS
I'm addicted to these TH-cam videos because they have shown me I am not alone. Coming to Christ! I look at each name in each post in hopes that one day I may find a former clone who is now a True Christian. Wouldn't that be so so wonderful.
A blessing, indeed.
Thank you. From Born in
to REBORN IN JESUS 🩸
Praise GOD
Superbly communicated! This is so powerful. I've watched several of these types of videos and it's discouraging when those who leave choose to abandan the faith(although all are incredibly brave). This is the most inspiring video of this sort that I have seen. Thank you!!
Thank you that’s so encouraging
Praise GOD. Thank you JESUS
Hi Eric. I agree with your comment. It is discouraging when people leave their faith when they leave the organisation. Just wondering whether you happen to live in Australia as we knew an Eric Mueller when we lived in North East Victoria? Just thought I'd ask.
@candj123 sorry, Eric Mueller seems to be almost as popular as John Smith these days.
This was a blessing to hear! I pray that our Lord will release your family by showing them the truth.
Loved your story Steve - thanks for sharing!
Wow..the fact that your whole family would not be allowed to speak with you. Shows 100% that this religion is so wrong. The scripture you quoted is everything..What shall separate you for the love of God in Christ Jesus .Its so .much mind control ..But I'm SO happy for you Steve Keep steadfast unmoveable ..In Christ you have liberty freedom,
Unbelievable.. Unfortunately this religion is so wrong separates families!!
Amazing testimony Steve, tgank yo so much.
I was also disfellowshiped after years of being a JW and experienced the shunning from my siblings who remained in the organization. But I found Christ and have been a born again Christian for four years and it's a wonderful experience, that relationship with God thru' Christ Jesus. I just love it.
Wonderful to hear. God bless
Thank you for sharing Steven. How many more of us out there who have a similar story? Very humble you are
I am rejoicing greatly over your testimony. We come my beloved brother.
Praise THE LORD!
I have a feeling your channel is going to grow and mean a lot to people.
Thank you so much for sharing...your testimony is a blessing!
Well expressed, Steve! I served over 10 years as a substitute CO and 10 years as the Presiding Overseer with 100 judicial committees. I understand what you feel! Keep on!
Thanks Sakda. How interesting! Feel free to drop me a line. sjenningsgas@hotmail.co.uk

What a beautiful (but sad) story. I almost cannot believe that an organization can have such a hold on its members. I pray that your sons, your family will see the light.
🌿🌹 Greetings from Bandra, Mumbai ! God bless you Steve abundantly ! May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you on your spiritual journey. Its wonderful that you are free from that organisation ...so many would like to be in your place but do not leave due to personal reasons.
Now thank and praise the Lord for freeing you from bondage...from darkness into His marvelous light. BTW, l and my family are Born Again Christians and the joy of the Lord is our strength !👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
All the best to you and your endeavours in exposing this horrible cult !
Hello Steve ! I’m so encouraged by you not abandoning faith all together as many witnesses do when the wake up. I am totally with you that it’s wrong to lash out against them, bashing them as many do. I believe that’s a disservice to the Glory of God and just gives them fonder. Thank you for your choice to expose error Which is biblical. I too was basically raised a JW but thankfully never got baptized so I haven’t experienced as harsh treatment as many others have in leaving. I was shunned by some in my kingdom hall because they assumed I was baptized and they treated me differently based on what was being printed in the watch tower from month to month regarding disfellowshipped people. I want to share with you a TH-cam channel that has been Refreshing to discover. His name is Mike Winger and I will strive to send you a link he deals biblically and thoughtfully regarding the teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses you can search his channel and listen if I’m not able to send you the link. He has many videos regarding Jehovah’s Witnesses- and does a great job respectively pointing out error in their teaching!
Thank you so much Steve for Sharing your heartfelt experiences and the insight you have found on very important scriptures that Christians need to hold dear to their hearts. These are very serious matters and we need to make sure that we continue to live our lives as true Christians apart from that organization that we got baptized into. Trying to understand what being born again means to be baptized properly is quite an undertaking for truth seekers. You have done that and you’ve come to find the answers that you find satisfying. I’m trying to do that as well & but you shared today will help me in my search for understanding truth. May Jehovah and Jesus continue to bless your Life as a true Christian may He help all of us who have left the WT organization.
We will pray for you Carol
JESUS CHRIST
The Way
The Truth
The Life
Amen and Amen.
If there’s one thing Holy Spirit enjoys and does perfectly is reveal the Truth, He is the best Teacher. I learnt that and I have learnt that He is also our best intercessor who teaches us to pray too. I have been a Christian all my life but got to know God after my husband died when I was 25 years old leaving me with infants, unemployed. I was angry at God for 6 years but He showed up and healed me, He revealed Himself to me and I got to know Him as a Father and Husband.
Please keep on seeking the Truth and pray that Jehovah fills you with His Spirit so that He can help you in your journey. Be encouraged and May God bless your heart♥️🙏🏽…His yoke is easy and His burden is light
I had those types of encounters in field service. I have come to similar understandings about the ORG and Jesus. I think among other things, we should have realized, calling it "the truth" when GOD'S WORD, says JESUS is the truth.. c"mom. Thx SO MUCH for your word here. May GOD CONTINUE to bless u & ur work on your journey. I'm 3rd Gen, 4 in family. Eyes CONPLETELY opened in 2016.
Praise God. God bless you
Thank you JESUS
Please make more videos, thankyou for this one.
God Bless You Brother Steve! Keep serving the Lord faithfully!
Your testimony was a blessing
Praise GOD
Your testimony is needed.
Thanks for sharing your story. We left in 2015. Best decision we ever made. Wasted 45 years of my life in this horrible cult.
Dear Steven, i think your video is very moving and i hope you eventually get to see your boys and reestablish normal relations!
Thanks Steve
I'm believing God for the same miracle (eyes being opened to the true good news) for my JW father.
God is mighty to save.
Such a clearly explained story. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. 🙏
So much heart and so much hurt you have shared! Thank you ! The spirt is strong in you and you have a wonderful future in the right hands now! I was a Witness for 47 years! I served at world headquarters in Brooklyn NY for 5 years, Served as An Elder over a Decade, Service Overseer , Served in Foreign language congregations and in Dominican republic with my wife. 3 plus years ago We (My wife and 3 children that I actually personally baptized at the convention wrote our disassociation letters and turned them in the same day. The reasons are spirituality based and are sad but true. We have suffered but are building real relationships with one another and for me with Christ not Just Religion. I have yet to make any videos, but your testimony is inspiring and encouraging to reach out! Thank you for sharing the test of your life with us! I look forward to seeing you one day on the other side in true glory and love my brother! Reach out if you would like to !
Thank you for your comments. I would love to be in contact. If you would like to chat you can get me on my email. sjenningsgas@hotmail.co.uk.
Dear Steve
Thank you for sharing your story. Not sure how I got this but I was blessed by your clear presentation of the Gospel. I am a practicing Christian and I don't know much about the J.W.'s. But I do know religion is often a barrier to really encountering Jesus. Thank you for your story. I am thinking of the Phillipian jailer who was saved, when Paul and Silas were praising God in prison. He and his whole household were saved. We pray that it will be from the inside out for them as well.
Thank you Appreciate your support
I was just like you, realize I was in a false religion. Then I have to go deep into the bible to find the real truth.. We are supposed to come to Christ not to any religion.. Religion is to courage us to come to Christ. But it is backwards for Jehovah's witnesses..

Thanks for sharing your story.
Thankyou for your wonderful testimony! You blessed my heart ❤️! The best thing that ever happened to you was being disfellowshipped from the JW !
Thank you your talk on born again is wonderful I applaud you👏👏👏👏👏👏 I am so sorry that you can't speak to your children its so very sad your in my prayers God bless you.
I just wanted say God Bless you brother carry on the good news I hope and pray more people will read and study the bible for themselves.
YES! ANOTHER ONE! Hello Steve
What a beautiful story. I'm so happy you found your way directly to God. I don't even believe in him, but I'm happy for you.
Thank.you
Wow! A powerful and captivating message brother and said in love. Glory to God.
Looking forward to more videos, Thank you for making this🤍🕊️🙏💖
How can anyone give this video a thumbs down?
It's a lovely testimony.
Faith should indeed be in Christ Jesus.

Yup. And they’re not even supposed to be watching these videos. They’re an evil death cult
Your honesty & candid talk shows you have good heart. May God Bless you & may Christ strengthen & comfort you ... walking the Narrow path is hard on so many levels.
Hi Steve. Great to hear your personal testimony. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Maybe we can have a chat sometime? From a former JW and Yorkshireman.
Yes would be good to have a chat just send me details of how we can do that to my email sjenningsgas@hotmail.co.uk

Thank you very much for sharing this, I am posting this comment on behalf of my auntie.
I particularly liked the part where you said "to whom shall we go" rather than, as JWs say "where will you go". Very helpful video, thank you again, God bless you.
Thank you God bless
Thank you for sharing your journey! I did not know these things. I pray you will be reunited with your children. I am most grateful that you are changed by the blood of Jesus and are part of His kingdom!🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Thank You so much for your video, it is helping me tremendously.
I felt the same way after being disfellowshiped. I thought now what do i do. I prayed to Jehovah all the time for everything. So i i just never stopped praying. They told me nobody could pray for me so i thought well i can pray for me and i did. I also remembered a talk i herd at a meeting about a sister in china that was thrown in prison for having a bible . She was sentenced to 20 years. During that time she had no communication with any witneses had no bible to read. She carved scripture into the wall of verses she knew. Upon release the brother said she was more spiritual and joyfull than a person who was at 3 meetings a week. So i felt that i was ok to pray and have faith and strive to be christ like without being at the kingdom hall. They caused me to loose friends i loved very much and the reasons of being df was not right but they could not take away my love for God or his for me. This was part of how i kept sane and kept living and prayers were answered and continue to be. I actually felt a big weight had been lifted from me. No anxiety of having to sit in a room with 3 men and be asked inapropiate questions and fear of being shunned and they said they pray for Jehovahs holy spirit to guide them in thier decision of disfellowshiping a person and how ironic to say that when 1 or all sitting there judging you are commiting sins as bad or worse than you i dont personally feel holy spirit was flowing through them at all. Before the year was up 2 of them were themselves df.
Thank you watching and for your comment. God bless.
Steven, what encouragement that you brought. One other comment from Eric mentioned how good it is to see an ex jw who did not abandon their faith in God. I've also watched several videos and even though good information was given, some say they are atheists. It's so sad to hear that. I do believe a separation is happening and this false doctrine is being exposed more and more by God.
What a genuin, open and heartwarming testimony. Thank you very much for sharing your story and for sharing those beautiful bible verses. I hope you will be reunited with your boys. Maybe this will give you some hope. I shunned my Dad and brother, because I tought it was the right thing to do to get them back. But after many many years....I could not do it anymore because I tought it was so unloving. Even if your boys are not ready yet, your new found love for jezus and new happiness and peace of mind can maybe trigger them to investigate the fact, that you and people like me, have peace of mind and are happy without the "organization". Have a great day thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much for your comment. Very encouraging to here what you say. I never give up hope because like with me when the Holy Spirit moves on a person the seeming impossible becomes a reality.
God bless you. Steve
I enjoyed your video and looking forward to seeing more.
This was very well done, Steve. I've listened to several, and this is one of the best. May you be blessed mightily!
Thanks. Thank you for watching
Thanks for sharing your experiences and heart, I always engage with JW's many are seeking and desire to be true. Thank goodness you found Jesus and became born again.
Thank Derek
Your story is very touching. I will pray for your family. I have a brother who is very committed to JW along with his daughters and wife. It is sad to watch.
Thank you
God bless you Steve. I cannot imagine your pain at losing your family. We have such a close relationship within ours. It makes me so sad for you. I pray with my sister every day on line. I will remember you today. God was letting you know he never leaves us. He is with us always and he has a plan for you. When doors close he opens a window no one is left in the dark who has the light of Christ to show them the way. So brave to speak out as you did.
Such a beautiful message! May God richly bless you for what you have just done to help others into truth.
Mr. Jennings, I am a former Jehovah's Witness too and you are absolutely correct about being born again. John 6:44 Jesus said, " No man can come unto me unless my Father who sent me draws him" Before that happens I believe we as people who were dead in sins were totally depraved until God regenerates us to be born again. Enjoyed your testimony, except the part of you losing contact with your children, I wasn't born in the organization I was a proselite and the only one in my family who joined the organization. My experience was alot easier than yours because I didn't have family in Watchtower so I walked away only thinking that I had lost eternal life. Not until I started watching ex JW's online and then reading the Old King James Bible did I realize the Watchtower organization was not Jehovah God's organization. I then rededicated myself to God under sovereign grace, nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ to cover all my sins past, present and future. I now do good works because I am saved and his Spirit operates in me, I am not trying to earn his approval, I just want to please my Father in heaven because he loves me and adopted me and gave his only begotten Son for me. May God bless you Mr. Jennings, I will watch your next video if you choose to make one.
Thank you. So well expressed
Tulip, I appreciated your sharing of your experiences in the Organization & how you have left. Especially your coming to the realization that the watchtower organization is not even teaching the truth and salvation does not come from being part of that organization but through the blood of Christ Jesus as we exercise faith in that shed blood of his. I also appreciate hearing how are you now understand what being born again measns for real Christian. I’m trying myself to get better understanding on this too. Do you watch TH-cam from Eric Wilson, Berean pickets? He has excellent videos and information posted on the Berean pickets website. He’s been helping sincere year XJW’s for many years now in their search for Bible understanding. I appreciate that he is not dogmatic and his explanations of what he has found from his continual study and research of the Bible. He’s from Canada and just recovered from a very very serious operation.
@@carolwrinkles6204 thank you, I will have to check out Eric Wilson. My name Tulip is an acronym for what I now believe
Total Depravity
Unconditional election
Limited atonement
Irresistible grace
Preservation
Until God regenerates our heart we are totally depraved in sin.
Unconditional election is that God chose us not according to anything we have done but of his own will.
Limited atonement is that Jesus died for his sheep and nothing can take us out of his hand, everyone Jesus died for is saved by his blood only.
Irresistible grace is that God chose his people for salvation and we can't resist it.
Preservation is no matter what happens to us we have a new home with God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ reserved for us the redeemed, the adopted and the purchased possession in the heavenly Jerusalem.
Jenny Baldwin. Great to hear such a clear testimony and without sounding critical of people within the Witnesses, just the organisation itself. It would be great to hear you do more videos, Steve. Thanks
Welcome to the real world.
I think those that were born in and have generations in this religion/cult have the most interesting stories. I was the very first person in my family to walk away and I didn’t know how much it affected me until years later.
Feel free to stop by and listen to any of my stories.
This was absolutely beautiful Steve. Such a testimony. I’m not JW, I’m Catholic, your heart and soul is so humble. God bless u ❤️
Thank you watching. God bless
Steve, what a beautiful soul you have. Thank you so much for sharing your honest story. You give me hope for my brother, still an Elder defending this heinous organisation. I just woke up last year after 49 years born in and have been greatly helped by JWEscape and her refusal to disregard a belief. Seeing Tyndale and Coverdale's bibles in a Bible museum started the process for me. I so hope your family wake up. Sending much love. I might add that I never felt close to Jesus as a JW, now I know why
All things are possible with God. He drew me out so never give up hope for others.
Loved your video, keep enlightening our crippled faith since JW is an atheist workshop!!
Thank you. By any chance would you happen to be Jaime from moulescombe ?
.
You are an amaizing person. You have touched my heart. I recently disassociated also after 40 years and an elder some years before. I will examine your comments on being born again more closely.
Thank you. God bless
Born in Left August 9, 2019. Reason: Australian Royal Commission.
You and many others after they watched elders being questioned and stuff they came out with.
Wow. Bet that hit hard. I was born in. Left when I was 35. My wife them told me she didn't want to be married to someone that's not a jw
@@benfox1462 🥲🥲
Watchtower WallStreet investments in pornography and cigarettes and weapons companies etc...
@@Nica-Ra-Wata are you serious?
Thank you brother. Be blessed!
I miss my family too, completely agree with you, I have been df’d for 13 yrs. I miss them all, never gets easier except knowing I’m raising my babies with an actual hope and peace with themselves ☺️
My heart goes out to you sir 💔 and all who have experienced and still living through this devastating form of punishment and manipulation. I want to think that these organizations mean well because they truly believe the doctrine they teach is true and do not want their followers to be influenced by others who reject their doctrine, especially someone whose considered an apostate.
Many groups and organizations practice what I call "pre shunning" or "upfront shunning" as opposed to "post-shunning" or "backend shunning;" whereby they encourage and often demand their followers to only fellowship with members only.
One manipulative way they do this is keep the member so busy and creating everything (i.e., events, meetings, holidays etc) surrounding the organization and rewarding members for committing all their time to the organization so that eventually they have no contact or meaning relationships outside of the organization.
Sadly, this more often excludes relatives.
Beautiful God glorifying testimony. Thank you Brother.
Steve, thank you, I struggled so hard with what the Watchtower society taught, I felt pulled away from what they were teaching and just wanted to know Jesus, you've truly given me a lot of comfort making this video, is there anyway of writing to you directly?
Hi Alison. Thank you for your comment. Your more than welcome to contact me anytime. Email sjenningsgas@hotmail.co.uk
@Steve Jennings... Can you help me be a voice to a jw lady I know? We talk deep, I want to tell her 'Ask Jesus Who He really is'... For I know she's sincere and loves Jesus, but the Jesus Who is only the arch angel Michael. So she knows another Jesus ...
Hello Steve, how are you? May God Jah bless you always. I was also a former JW, my grandparents are JW, but when I came to right age, questions came into my mind, lots of questions. Wherein elders of the congregation cannot answer my queries. That's where it begins if these organization are teaching the truth.
May God shower His Blessings on you Steve What a great testmony
