    Oh my Goodness! What precious man! I was totally captivated. Jim truly shines for Jesus.
    I had tears...... he got baptized in 1966 at 15. I got baptized in 1964 at 14. He is a year younger than me.
    And he has not been out of JWs that many years, I can’t imagine! Yet his knowledge of Scripture and his deep faith in Jesus looks like a lifetime of loving the true God. He has Him now! Amazing what the Holy Spirit does in us when we have that awakening day. Having fellowship with true believers is the key to gaining Freedom and overcoming the scars.
    I send my love to him!
    Thank you for doing this interview! So encouraging!
    I will pray for Jim’s family everyday.

We have resolved not allow differences in religious views to come between us. I left the cult in 2020 by writing a letter of DA. I thank Jesus for saving me from this Antichrist cult.

    He has been a breath of fresh air. I turned my disassociation letter in on July 15th, 2022. My youngest daughter shortly before me. My husband says he’s staying in but he doesn’t do hardly anything; no service, missed meetings, doesn’t pray that I see, etc. He’s always been fine with the minimal effort. My daughter and I always were told we weren’t spiritual enough by the brothers, even though we made 90% of meetings & 90% weekend service. It felt robotic.
    Since I left I’ve been thinking about what I believe. I have had a hard time thinking (believing) there isn’t a God. Just didn’t want to jump back into another load of crap.

      Good on you for escaping, it's not easy. I lost my entire family and went through a lot of hardships after leaving that I had to endure alone. I just wanted to offer you some support and tell you to please just try Jesus out. I was so scared when I left too to ever trust in God again. One day I asked Jesus to show me if he was real though and I literally SAW HIM APPEAR TO ME. The comfort and beauty I felt in that moment were unlike anything else I've ever known. Seek God and he will come to you too. He loves us so much. God bless💝

      Sounds like my husband. I would hound him for not doing enough especially. He found it easier to be seen and dress up nice and go to meetings. Meanwhile nothing at home, no praying, bible study, family worship or stuff that couldn’t be seen. This was one of the reasons I felt the organisation was false because what I wanted to focus on the spiritual within the home and not the cold robotic showy spirituality.

What brought me back to this after almost a year is the series The Chosen.

    These are good interviews. I've seen two of them now. Thank you.
    Thanks to Jim for sharing his story and for explaining how to fill the void and not lose everything.
    Much of his story resonated with me. I was unfairly disfellowshipped in 1984 at the age of 18 and really struggled.
    Although it is nearly 40 years ago, it still rears it's head and the repercussions are still being felt now.
    I found my relationship with God again, but it took some years. I felt I was doomed to destruction.
    A low self-esteem still remains and a sense of being not worthy sometimes., .
    However, I have been truly blessed and have an attitude of gratitude, which grows stronger all of the time.
    Thanks again.

    My husband woke up while he was battling cancer for him it was when his surgeon asked him what "parts of blood" he would except? It shocked him, he wanted to research he used Google for the first time ever. Of course I was a good witness no matter how much I loved him I refused to listen. He told me he had absolute faith even though he may not live to see my eye's opened he knew he would be the one to open them. In a heartbeat he was gone as I went through his things for the first time ever I allowed myself to read and listen maybe trying to keep him close. In a heartbeat I knew he was right all along I hope he forgave me for choosing the Governing Body over him an amazing husband and father who I could always rely on to speak the truth but above all things he loved me unconditionaly. He truely believed he would be the one I am so grateful he never gave up on me.

    And how on Earth can one talk too much about Christ?? He is the very means of our salvation. Our Lord and Savior. Reminds me in the Scriptures where those bearing witness to Christ were ordered not to be preaching his name. WTorg = modern day Pharisees who despise Christ..

    Beautiful point about the gentleman you encountered that asked if you knew Christ.... the most powerful witness to a JW is not to argue or show them how they have been deceived (this just puts them on the defensive, reinforces their persecution complex, and activates Digging in of the Heels) but sharing with them the joy of knowing Christ and telling them how it has improved your life. The fact that his words stuck with you all those years shows just how much more power a positive example can have as opposed to arguments over doctrine or Scripture. We don't have to try to talk JWs out of their current beliefs... sometimes just a GENUINELY Christ-like example is enough to help them start to question/wonder.

    Elaine, half way through this video you said something that resonated with me. I thought that I might have been just feeling "good" about someone talking about Jesus, but I remember one thing.
    I was almost blown away with a feeling of warmth, kindness and light when my friend (stranger then) said the word Jesus as part of the conversation. I then started going to services starting Easter and have been attending church for about 2+ years. I can't explain it, but I do believe that feeling and shock I got from it allowed God to show me that this was the right person to follow / learn from.
