Laura, thank you for sharing your story! We have a few things in common. I'm from Northern CA and was also baptized in early 1975 at the age of 15. And my single mom was receiving SS benefits too! But my JW mom insisted I start working when I turned 18 instead of going to community college. She told me I could not go to college and continue living at home. She did not even want me working full time or missing field service and meetings. I had just graduated from high school and had no money, job, car, or friends outside the witnesses so I began working part-time and contributing a little to the household. Eventually, I saved enough to move out and began attending college at the age of 24. I also remember the talk given by Bro Franz (1976?) after armageddon didn't happen. A huge deal was made of the fact that he was speaking at the convention. Many elders seemed to know what the talk was about but refused to divulge any info ahead of time. One of my fave young elders did tell me that many would be sorely disappointed and leave "the truth". Even though I still believed at that point, I had never really cared about living in the new system. And I was beginning to like what I was seeing of the world, lol. It took me five more years to leave and it was very painful.
Wow, I’ve known so many my age that never got a college education and are now dealing with no retirement savings. If you live in the Bay Area, I would love to connect with you. DM on Fb

@Eva Spillane : Similar experience here too. I remember all the pre 1975 hype and then afterwards the excuse was about not knowing how long after Adam that Eve was created, then it was all about “This Generation” not passing away.
My mom was baptized in 1975 - and I remember the hype that the end was coming very soon, and no one would grow old. Well, my mom is 83. She's old and has nothing. You'd think this was enough to open her eyes. Nope.
Wowwww i have NEVER heard of someone actually having the state of mind to basically tell the elders that they’re asking for too many details and that they have sufficient info to decide your case! I got mad respect for that!
I am so glad that she was able to have her children & husband...she is very fortunate. Good for her. So glad that so many are leaving and waking up from this very sick and sinister DOOMSDAY CULT.
Thank you so much Laura for your openness and boldness for sharing your spiritual life's story with the "CULT". The Holy Spirit of God sees your heart and He is now helping you and your Beloved Family experience and enjoy the True Wonderful Life our Almighty GOD designed for all of us His Beloved Children even if we are still here on earth. Keep up the best work for God's Glory. Laura, You are an ENCOURAGEMENT!!! Sincerely, Marife of Shizuoka, Japan
What a nice congregation, when my mother died I was expecting my brothers and sisters to be there for me because I was one of them, but nobody showed up because she wasn’t a JW, that was what a sister told me! I cried a lot! my family was asking me, do you think any of your elders will come and say something for us? My family is not a religious family, so they weren’t a member of any church!
I’m so sorry for your experience. From my understanding congregations can have different personalities. My sister was known in the congregation though she never went to a meeting or studied. But, she took care of my mom so she could pioneer. And we were very close. We had a Memorial at the mortuary. An elder spoke for 20 min, other people gave comments, I even spoke on behalf of the family. It was so not a JW memorial, but everyone was there.
You are such a beautiful person Laura! Thank you for sharing your story! Totally related so much to you, pioneered for 12 yrs….yada, yada, yada! When my three kids started going to college & my husband stepped down as an elder…I started waking up! Love ya sis.!!!
What an engaging and inspiring interview! Thanks to the interviewer for allowing her to elaborate. She has a mind of her own, rather than allowing a group of men to dictate her relationship with her daughter.
I was afraid for a while after I decided I wanted to leave. My daughter was disfellowshipped, and my son faded away. I missed them so much even though I was still talking to them, but I was trying to get them back to the meetings so our conversations were definitely very awkward. The way I woke up was when my cousin sent me some religious links, so I felt I could sent him the link to our page. To my surprise he told me he couldn’t go to that page because he considered the JWs a cult. I thought to my self what is he talking about? Then he sent me a link to a video about why JWs are considered a cult. But I couldn’t bring myself to view it. I finally started but I found some errors so I started doing research. That’s when I woke up! I was like Laura. I spent every minute lookin up things which made me more like determined to leave. I called my children and I apologized for putting them through such terrible times trying to get them to come back. I’m happy to tell you that after 50 years I feel free! With some help from my therapist and the love and understanding of my husband, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Thank you for your interviews. They have helped me very much. 😊
@@cal8007 are we twins?? I called my kids and apologized too for bringing them into a cult from birth. I also left after 50 years. It was the realization that they protected CSA victims, we lived it, and the realization that elders choose their position, they were not chosen by God, and if they did that then the GB did too and if we followed what they told us, then we were part of a cult! I left and called my adult kids who had all realized it was bullshit and I apologized 💞
This is one of the best Interviews I’ve seen about EX Jehovah witness. I’ve always knew Jehovah witness was a business. When she said it was a pyramid I was I knew it. Laura made this interview interested and fun. Just her personality.
This is what concerns me most about such a deceptive organization as the Watch Tower. Good sincere people spend their whole lives serving faithfully to enrich the lives of deceitful men in New York for the false promise of a paradise earth in the future (which never comes). When this woman’s mother died during the telling interview, I thought “What a waste of a person’s life! This is wrong…”. Many other faithful JWs have also died in the darkness of this cult. Sadly, people don’t think about their end until it is too late. 🙏. P.S. A very good, award winning video series about the origins of Judaism and Christianity is “The Footprints of God” series by Steve Ray.
Yes, my mom loved her life waiting for paradise. But, she was supported and loved to preach. She converted at 43 and this new religion made her happy and feel valued. But that not the case for most. Born ins never have that luxury to choose as adults. It’s expected and they are guilted into baptism, which then traps them.
Whatever reasons a person has for converting to the Jehovah’s Witnesses (feelings of loneliness, social isolation, wanting to belong somewhere, or other), this organization was built on lies from the beginning. Charles Russell was a disgruntled youth with not even a high school education when he founded Zion’s Watch Tower in the late nineteenth century. He walked away from his father’s haberdashery business to start his own false religion for profit $$. He never had any theological training or ordination from any religious body. Judge Rutherford was an attorney with no theological credentials either. In the old days, people called men like Russell and Rutherford “snake oil salesmen.” 👍
❤Thanks Laura , I was also born catholic and I was born again later having called on the name of the Lord Jesus. The Jehovah’s Witnesses called to visit me for years and I was reading Gods word daily and studying by myself When I was born again I was led to read John and Acts and the word became alive to me. I kept debating the word with the Jehovah’s Witnesses and we kept debating. Eventually they stopped coming and another Jehovah’s Witness told me that the Jehovah’s witnesses were ordered to keep from my home because I was demonic and wouldn’t submit to their indoctrination. I decided to learn more of this .organization and I discovered about their failed prophecies and about Beth Sarim which was the mansion that they built for Abraham and the Old Testament Saints ❤. I now have many ex JWs friends who are now free in Christ ❤
Laura, great story…thank you for sharing….we grown ass women, we don’t need to be told how to act, and certainly don’t need to judge anyone or anything ! The freedom is so refreshing ….. living in the moment with nothing but loving freely to share 🥰 Vevian thank you for sharing Laura’s story with us! Another wonderful EXJW success story. Life is meant to be enjoyed 🥰
I remember the excuse of not knowing when Eve was made the gap, back them most of us took notes and we were told to drop studies that were not progressing within six months that is starting to attend meetings and giving up the cigs progressing toward baptism within six months or they would be dropped because the time was urgent and not to waste on those not progressing so we can spend more time in the field searching for more interested ones.
Thanks Laura and Val I was raised in and lived thru 1975. JW doctrines originated with the Roman Catholics and no matter how much they deny it, they are still the Church of Rome. I never believed our ancient ways were demonic. Why would I believe the colonizers about MY ancestors. I did the research and Christianity stole and reverse engineered our ancient. Under our Goddesses we taught love and life and reaching the highest ❤. As Christianity they teach slavery and repression. This proves that J is not the real God because the real G is feminine. Why would she give U life and passion just to repress U into waiting and waiting and waiting. This rubbish is crazy. Celebrating the mass murder of all the world's in people is beyond sick. You are both Goddesses to me🎉.
WOW, what a story. Vevian, you always find the most fascinating stories. I enjoyed it immensely. Though, I couldn't help but want to hear more details about her awakening experience. It was like reading a great book where you can't put it down.

I’ve seen a handful of interviews on this channel, very interesting to say the least. However, (unsolicited advice incoming) you lose me and others I’m sure with your questioning method. You ask multiple questions at once and it seems you’re not listening to guide them back when they stray from the question asked. Maybe an outline?
Her story seems so unbelievable. No way witness would even acknowledge a disfellowshipped person let alone be this encouraging. Her story just doesn't seems real just a bunch of made up bull. If she was love bombed like that even after being disfellowshipped why would someone in their right mind leave that strong of support system? Most of us left because of neglect and always being left out. This lady spiced up her story to seem like she's this lovable person.
Not unbelievable, it was that generation of JWs. The congregation I grew up in, was exactly like this. Shunning was unheard of. You just didn't do that to your kids, family. Even elders didn't do that to their kids. Of course they tried everything to get their kids to come back, but never shunned them.
V ONE TRUE RELIGION It is only logical that there would be one true religion. This is in harmony with the fact that the true God is a God, "not of disorder, but of peace." (1 Corinthians 14:33) The Bible says that actually there is only "one faith." (Ephesians 4:5) Who, then, are the ones who form the body of true worshipers today? We do not hesitate to say that they are Jehovah's Witnesses.
Haven’t you been warned about viewing apostate material? I see you trolling on so many exJW comments. You sound foolish and you’re exposing the typical JW arrogant ignorance.
@@AlexisLexLexi Jesus shared good news. Jesus walked hundreds of miles on dusty roads, sharing the good news as many people as possible (Luke 8:1) To be a follower of Jesus we are to follow his example or footsteps. (Isaiah 61:1) A Christian is a follower of Jesus. To be his follower means to be not just a believer but an imitator. From the time of his baptism, Jesus spent much of his time in preaching and teaching the good news of God's kingdom. He was, in fact, addressed as "Teacher." (John 13:13; Matt. 23:8) He is called "the faithful and true witness" for he faithfully witnesses to his Father's will and purpose. ----Rev. 3:14; John 18:37; 1 Tim. 6:13. To stay with Jesus Christ is to stay with those whom he pleased to use. Outside the true congregation, what alternative organization is there" Only Satan's organization consisting of his political "wild beast" and his Babylonian world empire of false religion. ----Rev. 13:1, 14, 15; 17:3-6.
The only "we" you're referring to is a rapidly dwindling few millions of brainwashed cult members. By the way, Armageddon was supposed to come when you reached a critical mass of JWs. How does that make any sense when your numbers keep falling? Anyone care to guess the canned Watchtower response? 1 Thessalonians 5:2?
Remember when the JW's taught that once the 144,000 anointed remnants were complete, Armageddon would finally come? Cause they conveniently forgot. 🤷♂

(1 Corinthians 14:33) The Bible says that actually there is only "one faith." (Ephesians 4:5) Who, then, are the ones who form the body of true worshipers today?
We do not hesitate to say that they are Jehovah's Witnesses.
So why r u on this site? Which religion or group represented that one faith for almost 2000 yrs?
Haven’t you been warned about viewing apostate material? I see you trolling on so many exJW comments. You sound foolish and you’re exposing the typical JW arrogant ignorance.
@@AlexisLexLexi Jesus shared good news. Jesus walked hundreds of miles on dusty roads, sharing the good news as many people as possible (Luke 8:1) To be a follower of Jesus we are to follow his example or footsteps. (Isaiah 61:1) A Christian is a follower of Jesus. To be his follower means to be not just a believer but an imitator. From the time of his baptism, Jesus spent much of his time in preaching and teaching the good news of God's kingdom. He was, in fact, addressed as "Teacher." (John 13:13; Matt. 23:8) He is called "the faithful and true witness" for he faithfully witnesses to his Father's will and purpose. ----Rev. 3:14; John 18:37; 1 Tim. 6:13.
To stay with Jesus Christ is to stay with those whom he pleased to use. Outside the true congregation, what alternative organization is there" Only Satan's organization consisting of his political "wild beast" and his Babylonian world empire of false religion. ----Rev. 13:1, 14, 15; 17:3-6.
The only "we" you're referring to is a rapidly dwindling few millions of brainwashed cult members. By the way, Armageddon was supposed to come when you reached a critical mass of JWs. How does that make any sense when your numbers keep falling? Anyone care to guess the canned Watchtower response? 1 Thessalonians 5:2?
Its ALL christians because God says in the great trib to get oit of there my people. His people are in ALL of babylon being deceived.
The Bible is a Jehovah's Witness Book.----Isaiah 43:10-12.
None of this makes sense :(
What about this interview didn’t make sense
Remember when the JW's taught that once the 144,000 anointed remnants were complete, Armageddon would finally come? Cause they conveniently forgot. 🤷♂
Laura is so funny😅
