I was a Service Overseer, and Anointed in 2015. Very soon afterwards Jesus opened my eyes to the Apostate Condition in the WT organization. 2 Elder Bodies and 2 COs hunted me down for apostasy, why? Because I was anointed. Satan chased my and my family out of his org

Amazing video, well done 👍

When we left, I remember feeling guilty for not preaching on a Saturday morning or going to a meeting. Now my wife and sit out in the garden on the weekend and think how happy we are to be alive. Zero regrets.

Your story reminded me of how I felt when I left the WTS nearly 37 years ago. I was in for 15 years and left after a revelation I had of who Jesus really is. I had so much joy at the time, realising that God gave us Jesus Christ not an organisation. I also felt a lot of those feelings you are having Caleb. It was/is so wonderful to be free of that dreadful cult. You don’t really appreciate how bad it is until you leave. I’ve only recently encountered the ex JW Activists on uTube as I’ve been trying to help someone leave who is desperately unhappy but too afraid to leave. The organisation has certainly changed a lot since I left. I’m glad to see many people waking up and leaving. Thank you very much for your sharing your experience.

My bethelite days were under a former GB regime. Not a single one of those “heavies”, as we used to call them, is still alive today. Years later, I revisited the old Columbia Heights buildings before the move upstate. It was a cruel slap in the face by reality to see a couple of the remaining GB members as emaciated & feeble old codgers, waning away in wheelchairs in some obscure corner of the bethel infirmary. These new guys are obviously destined for the same. Fifty years from now all of today’s “new light” BS will be meaningless, just like the now downgraded apostate fodder crap they told us fifty years ago. Life is precious! Time waits for none of us! Don’t let christ’s anointed swindlers waste more of your time working for OR against them! Enjoy this dear life to the fullest! 🤷‍♂️ IJS

OMG... couldn't agree more!!!

Thank you again for making your videos. And I just want to say, you kinda look like GOOD GUY GREG (that is a compliment)

Caleb, thanks a lot for your content. Wow. I know this might sound crazy but I would love to ask you a personal question. I have this situationship with a JW (I am not a JW myself) and I don’t have anyone I can talk with about this. If you have the time, I would highly appreciate to share. Thanks!

We left as a family and we have been the happiest we've ever been. I wish more families would leave together. .

❤❤❤❤

I am so grateful for your channel. We are conditioned to believe our lives are NOTHING without the JW organization. I am planning for exciting things in my life after I leave and I cant wait to actually start enjoying my life 🥰

After watching these videos I’ve realized how little effort I’ve put into the cult lol didn’t realize until I was out. I feel for the ex witnesses who had such a hard time disassociating with their past as they literally loose family over this. I can see the resentment and I would be so upset if I was in that situation too. I always did what I wanted to do regardless of what the religion said ( wasn’t a good witness ) when I didn’t want to go to meetings I just said” I don’t feel like going. “ and simply stopped going. My parents are still witnesses but even though I’m df”fed now they will still speak to me as if nothing happened ( that’s how it should be imo) and I’m very grateful for that situation. My friends from the cult still talk to me too, and I spoke to my friends when they were df’ed and I was in a the cult I know others have it very different and it took me leaving the cult to see these videos and read the comments to see how difficult people have it. Stay strong my friends of freedom

Yes ! Freedom to say what you want!!! So true. No more judging, guilt trips. So my husband is still technically a witness but I think he is in the way out, secretly is happy Trump won the election. Before I would have been oh don’t. Even say that!!! “We” (JWs) can’t even think about politics or even privately in our hearts support any politicians!!!!! Let me show you all the articles saying it’s wrong. Let me police your opinion and your mind!!! That was the old me! Now I’m like cool, you do you hunny. I’m pro Kamala. But it’s so nice to just be. Now we allow each other to think what we individually want to. Like a normal human being. lol

Current JW leadership has changed important doctrines of Jehovah's people and the result is just this. Someone is not inspired by the message any more to stay a Jehovah's Witness. The doctrinal contradiction along with the hypocrisy make many reject not only these people but unfortunately Jehovah's message too. We try to stop that by forming an online FREE from men Christian fellowship of brothers and sisters who still love God and Christ but reject the false shepherds who have altered the message.

I wasted 30+ years of my life on that junk and lost my entire family - but so much happier now I've got out

I actually find myself cleaning house more, doing quality bible research more with just using bibles. Enjoying nature. Volunteering with different ways in community

Spot on

You just made me understand why JW's don't help others during natural disasters, and don't pray for them. Because the end is coming and they are going to die at Armageddon anyway, so why waste time and financial aid on them.

The GUILT is what I always hated as a JW. You always have to do more and kore and more which means that nothing is ever enough. Leaving is the most loving thing you can do as a parent. The unconditional love that you get to provide your family is freeing.

Hey Caleb, I love the positive outlook you have and I hope everyone in your family is making the best of the new gound freedom, and slowly shedding the constraints of the new personality. I'm a never dub specialising in the dynamics of high control groups and I simply love the way you are documenting your mental exit. Thank you for the eloquent videos and all the best to you and your family

**Where'd They Learn Hypnosis** Where’d they learn hypnosis, the trick they play, To pull me in and lead me astray? A whisper here, a lingering stare, And suddenly, I’m nowhere but there. They circle close, but never touch, Just close enough to feel too much. Their words wrap tight, like silken thread, A gentle pull into what they’ve said. Who taught them to bind with nothing but talk, To guide my steps, control my walk? They never push, just softly steer- A quiet spell that draws me near. Their laughter hides a shadowed scheme, Keeping me lost in someone’s dream. With every smile, a spark of control, And I’m slipping again, losing my hold. Where’d they learn to play me so fine, To make their will feel just like mine? They pull the strings I didn’t see, But tonight, I’ll cut them and set me free.

I’m happier and I have more time now that I am PIMO and fading slowly

How very true, awesome. It's so sad people living in fear, this is it enjoy,

I think our time and feeling less stress and guilt are huge plusses.I used to feel like a "rat on a wheel" going nowhere. Always told I could do more and never enough. Even after being a special pioneer and diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue, the societys answer? Do more. All that is gone now. I am so happy with my life. I have also discovered that what JW's call "worldly people are better than JW's who are always judging. I don't miss it one bit. Was it ever the truth? Did the gb become apostate themselves like the priesthood did in Israel? I don't know. Who knows? Were we always "false prophets" I think so.

SO TRUE SPOT ON ❤❤❤❤❤

“Not much you can do”? You’re already helping hundreds of viewers and subscribers. Keep up the good work 😊

Caleb you a legend brother... I Watched your first you tube video....and I can honestly see how much happier you are since. We are so proud of you. And yes you hit the nail on the head... The guilt part for me was the worst,I could never meet up to the "truths" expectations. Keep on doing what you doing and keep us updated throughout your journey...

Jehovah knew you were the PERFECT vessel to get this message across wow! This was worded so beautifully especially the point about now being able to fulfill and find your purpose.

A great advert for apostasy.

I was a mess I had so much anxiety that seemed to be getting worse, after we left it took about two 2️⃣ weeks that I noticed my anxiety went down and then only when they would text it would shoot up so I started to block 😂 . Now around 2 years out my anxiety is gone of course anxiety does come up every once in a while but nothing I mean nothing like I had been when we were in. Thank you for sharing awesome video ❤

What a super articulate exposition. Bravo! If anything is the very opposite of Buddhism, it's the cults of Sunni Islam and Jehovah's Witnesses.

The main thing i took away from leaving was I was forced to make new friends. Not one JW non-family friend reached out. I took it as conformation I was wasting my time there.

Caleb- would love to hear your thoughts on the financials…super quick search shows about 120,000 Kingdom Halls/Congregations…multiplied by $50,000 annual donation to organization (online data) each hall….that would bring in approx 6 BILLION each year for the group 🧐🤯

Totally agree. I became a JW as an adult but woke up close to 8 years ago. Much happier now, if interested in hearing my story I have videos on my channel 💜

Loving your neighbour and doing good things for people is very commendable and as you say Witnesses will say they do those things, and maybe they do, but I suppose, looking back to when I was a JW I, like you, would have said the same. But there is a difference. For example, if you walk a couple of miles into town for groceries because you want to enjoy the walk, take in the scenery, admire nature, breathe in the fresh air etc it will be an enjoyable exercise and you will feel good about doing it. On the other hand, if you do the same walk because your car won’t start and you have no choice, that same walk will feel different, sure, you will be glad you’ve done it and may even be pleased with yourself that you did, but the reason you did it is very different. And I think that doing good things as a Witness can be likened to doing that walk out of necessity or compulsion, you can still say you did it, and you can still feel good that you did, but mentally you felt like it was an inconvenience, you didn’t enjoy nature en-route, you kept looking at your watch, you wanted it to be over so you could carry on with what you wanted to do that day etc. And I think that most things you do as a JW are done in that way, out of necessity and compulsion which is ironic because Jesus taught his followers to do things out of your heart, because you want to, not begrudgingly. I’m sure JW apologists will argue this point, but I’m saying it as an ex JW, reflecting on my previous motives and being honest with myself. When going from door-to-door are they really doing it out of love for others? Or, is it out of compulsion, because that’s what is expected etc? I think some really do do it out of love, there are some genuine people there, but I think that is the exception and that generally speaking it’s done out of compulsion and when it’s done they do feel genuinely good about having done it, but it’s the motive that’s important, not the good feeling after it’s been done. 🇬🇧

Life is 100% better but I still get annoyed as I wasted so much time in the kingDUMB hall.

Caleb that's great to hear.. yes the real estate investment corporation or Jehovah's witnesses they always tell you you're going to be miserable away from them.. you're going to fall apart and you'll be a horrible person without them.. actually the opposite is true. Nice to have freedom. There are many people leaving. The numbers of baptisms are way down. People are just burned out of it.. Life goes on.

Thank you for saying this👍 I remember my constant guilt going on any vacation bc We would be absent at our local mtgs🫣 or never doing enough for this cult 🤨😏 We couldn't be happier than we're now😅 Finally time for self growth 👏😘

Thanks for sharing brother 🙏🏼 Yes, life is so much better after leaving the cult. I feel much closer to God and myself now

We all know now, why the caged bird SINGED!!😂 WE ARE FREE!!!

You have such a great way with your words, expressing the feelings and experiences that many of us can relate with. Thanks for another wonderful video!

I'm curious, do you celebrate Christmas and your birthdays now as a family? Or because you've never done it, it might feel weird.

My real question how have you replaced bible teachings then ? You can’t tell me learning how to be a good person and how to act in general from bible truths isn’t beneficial. Those are things I think people forget about being a JW there’s tons of practical stuff you get from the articles and magazines Also don’t blanket statement all Jws I know Tons of elders and JW families that will travel and actually spend a good 2 months on vacation with their family and no one judges them everyone needs a holiday so to make it seem like you never get time off is false you can but you didn’t So I get the impression that some people who leave just want an excuse to not have to study the Bible cause it’s hard to study the Bible on your own.

I’ve found how judgmental they are since leaving. How they are not humble they constantly think they are better than worldly people because they will be saved. They think because they serve this supposed god they are better which according to the GV that’s a sin in itself.

When the Son sets you free then you are free indeed. John 8:32. For freedom Christ Jesus has set you free Galatians 5:1.

“Talking to ones”? You mean “talking to people”?

I found some used to look down at people in the so called world some thought they were better and the ones in the world most had better hearts

It’s not true friends there anyway all false

I love having time too. I don't procrastinate so much to do one thing because I feel guilty about not doing a scheduled "theocratic activity".

So, in other words, you’re learning how to live normal lives; the way human beings ought to live. Good for you.
