~ Dealing with Elders and Kingdom Halls Tutorial ~ • Your relationship is with Jehovah God, not the Elders, Pioneers or Circuit Overseers. • You should study with the Jehovah's Witnesses and at least become an Unbaptized Publisher. . Jesus said If they treat you badly go to another town Matthew 10:22,23 22 And YOU will be objects of hatred by all people on account of my name; but he that has endured to the end is the one that will be saved. 23 When they persecute YOU in one city, flee to another; for truly I say to YOU, YOU will by no means complete the circuit of the cities of Israel until the Son of man arrives. . Jesus' New Commandments Matthew 22:37-40 37 He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.” • Preach the Good News and make disciples of men. • Tell the people what they need to do. • Be no part of the world • Live by Jesus' New Commandments • Sanctify Jehovah God's name. Matthew 28:18-20 18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” Mark 16:15: Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 2 Timothy 4:2-12: Be ready at all times, and tell people what they need to do. Luke 4:18: The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. John 15:19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. There is a lot of dysfunction in the world and at these Kingdom Halls as well. You'll see an Elder on the platform that appears to be loving and kind and then as soon as they leave the platform they are the opposite. They are rude, condescending and disrespectful; talking to the people like they're fools, that's because they are suffering from a severe case of narcissism. Human behavior is troubling with all the competing egos, narcissism, jealousy and envy, poverty and the ill-educated, It's only natural that differences will arise. Try to be pleasant with one another and work through your differences. Go to your nearest Kingdom Hall and if it works out, fine. If it doesn't, move along. Just never stop learning from the literature and sharing the Good News until you find a Kingdom Hall where you are received well. Keep your Sundays dedicated to honoring Jehovah until you find a new congregation I spent two years as a Bible Study, I completed the Knowledge Book three times and became a Unbaptized Publisher. Then a year later, I was told I was not ready for Baptism. I could have earned a PhD in that amount of time. The Elder was black, and I was basically told, "No Baptism for Whitey." They want you to ingratiate yourself. Suck up long enough and maybe we can work something out. The negativity and dysfunction is alarming. If you are a woman, there is no delay, you are Baptized right away. If you're a man, well you're gonna have a lot of issues dealing with all these narcissistic Elders who think you might not be right for their women and maybe you should wait for about twenty years to get Baptized. Their egos are out of control - they think they're God on the platform - these are some very wicked people - egomaniacs and control-freaks. For many Elders, their dreams didn't come true, they're not rich, it's back to the ego for some more narcissistic supply. And, they are working their egos extra hard because that's all they have. Many of these Jehovah's Witnesses think they're better than everyone else because of the suits they wear. It's very dysfunctional and they become delusional lost in their false reality. Some congregants are snobs, others can be friendly, but what they are mostly concerned about is their status and making sure their suits are not out of place. I have been to many Kingdom Halls and there is a lot of discrimination going on, and a lot of hypocrisy, nepotism, cronyism, favoritism, racism and dysfunction among these narcissistic people - there is no accountability - for the most part. I was shunned at many Kingdom Halls - they're very cliquish. Seven years later, I got tired of being alone and I married a kind, humble woman and they lost their minds. They expected me to live alone forever. No one needs to be around a bunch of haters. As of today, I have been serving Jehovah God for twenty-six years. Many of these Elders are always triangulating, deflecting and projecting because they don't have an education - very conniving people (sleazy is more accurate). They are masking and very critical, just like the world, no difference, condescending, controlling, manipulative, deceitful and very dysfunctional - always deflecting or gaslighting - lost in a sea of narcissism. Many of these Elders claim to be no part of the world, yet they display the same dysfunctional behaviors as worldly people. Then, when you have collective group of narcissists triangulating and gaslighting people to stroke their egos, that is the definition of insanity. I contacted Bethel Headquarters and was rerouted to several other people and ended up speaking to the Overseer for California. He told me, "Whatever you do, do not go to a Kingdom Hall." Subsequent to this, I had an narcissistic Elder tell me that I needed to lie when I go to Kingdom Halls and tell them I am in between jobs and on Unemployment, as not to offend anyone. I had enough of the dysfunction and goofiness and now only visit Kingdom Halls occasionally. I have already received my 100-fold, and I remain always loyal to serving Jehovah, teaching people the truth, when it's appropriate. I will not tolerate a bunch of negativity and dysfunction from a bunch of low-class blue-collar idiots. I retired at 46 years old, and the jealousy and envy is appalling. They've lost their minds - many of them are poor working-class people. Yet, I have met some very kind and loving people at many Kingdom Halls throughout the years. All that is required from Jehovah God is that you apply Bible counsel in your life, be no part of the world, spread the Good News and tell the people what they need to do. He understands that there is imperfection at these Kingdom Halls, and he will hold all of them accountable for their wicked ways. Also, focus on making Jehovah God's name known and respected. When you pray and everything you do, you will honor Jehovah by calling him by his name. Show great reverence for his name and him being the only true God. End your prayers in Jesus' name Amen. Have a nice day!

Just checking up on you. It seems to be eight years since you released this video and ten years since you left. I'd love to know how you're getting on. Hopefully you're still out (can't imagine otherwise) and doing well. Have any of your jw friends and relatives woken up? How are your husband and kids getting on? Are you still religious? In any case, I hope you're doing well and enjoying life. Take care.

Every time I think of all of the aspects of this cult, it depresses me. I ate about all of its members because they are brainwashed and not àllowed to go to other sourses, because the leaders know you will know the truth. You made the right decision to leave. Now you can see the truth and worship tbe Almighty God and his son, Jesus, who was God from the beginning of time. Another thing, I used to see hidden pictures in the magazines and see bad things, like goats, ancient Gods, and Demons in the clothing or a hand. After Jesus birth we have got by really well worshiping the true God and the Lord. The $144, 000 are not the religion but those are the ones that ask Jesus into their hearts during the tribulation period. I have a special love and concern for the members because this cult started in 1780's and we all did lots better without them. Some man started this. I'm not his judge but I am just hoping and praying they, like you pull the blinders from their eyes. look up, ask the real Jesus into your hearts because Jesus told Nicademis that we must be born again to enter God's kingdom, and if they don't escape this, they are headed in the wrong direction. God bless you and your family. You now have victory and not in bondage any more . Jesus has set you free.!

Thank you for your courage

30+ yrs in I actually WAS a critical thinker going in asked apparently “ wrong” questions I was marked b4 I ever was a witness ‼️Foolishly I went back bc of course they destroy all faith in religious. I guess I reached a complacency place in my head. But March 2024 I woke up… gave myself permission to look at apostate stuff realized it’s not at all apostate! It’s whistle blowers telling the truth about the truth! I as well learned ALOT about the WT history ‼️ it’s a house of cards. Research do your own study and use a different version of the Bible JW Bible is not an accurate translation Good testimony thxs

You cant speak fluent ??! Its exhausting to understand what you saying enjoy life its one God and yes jw lady jump in my men so yes they not perfect

You cant speak fluent ??! Its exhausting to understand what you saying enjoy life its one God and yes jw lady jump in my men so yes they not perfect

Very sad being lied to and not finding out till sometime after your baptized as I did. 😢 You did the right thing after the tragic story I’ve learned from other brothers and sisters as well as my own experiences. Best wishes to you! 💕

You should give an update 8 years later!

I so understand your story so much. Once you know and see it's all a lie and realise it's a cult. You can't go bck not even to just have your family and so called friends.

Thank you for opening up on your struggles and real life after Watchtower!

Powerful testimony

This is so similar to how me and my husband left a few months ago. The brainwashing is real

Congratulations on leaving the organization, sounds like both you and your husband did your research well. However I would bring up that leaving the Society is the first phase of your lives, many ex-JW's are still believe in the doctrines of the organization or are in spiritual limbo. The Society has claimed to be a prophet (The Watchtower, 4/1/1972, 197), the Society predicted the end several times, 1975 is just an example (Life Everlasting in Freedom of the Sons of God, 1966, p. 29-30). So it is reasonable to ask the question, why should any former JW believe in the doctrines of the false prophet? I encourage you to throw out the New World Translation because its an abomination, purchase a reliable and accurate translation, pray before your open your Bible for the Holy Spirit to open up the words. God bless.

You are brave and full of sincerity and integrity. God bless! ❤❤❤❤

What a .lovely way to share your story, your struggles and your way to handle it. I'm neither JW nor ex-JW but I know some JWs and know that must e struggling in the same way. Thanks for your honest and naked way to tell it. It will be so instrumental for many to see it!

Very nice ❤

Thank you for sharing. Im in a similar situation.. Can i get you to email me some of the things youve rearearched perhaps? Please.. 🙏

You are really brave. Congratulations!

she learned they were in the UN for 10 years no doubt 😂 the WTBTS is iust a publishing company that swivelled into real estate prospecting. The day job of peddling half truths is just the product they sell . like mcdonalds selling burgers where really the actual cash is in real estate. If you are even a tiny bit doubting your beliefs as a JW - go inform yourself now before you let them waste anymore of your time. It s one of the biggest scam organisations on the planet

You choosing to serve satan will never buy hapines

Praise CHRIST KING JESUS ...

I meant bound volumes

Many thanks for your sincere insights Keturah. I appreciate your honesty and courage. There are many of us who have awoken to 'the truth about the truth", and yes, it's a wild ride once you see it for what it is. Well done Keturah!

There was a feeling all those years but i stayed and stayed and thought life would be better there. Later found out FOG fear obligation guilt is what i think they do and this is a shame. Besides that the org is not open about themselves i think. Thank you for the video and what you tell is very good because it is hard all those years... For me i felt so bad.

@14:16, You didn't lie to your children. "You can say something that's untrue and still not be lying. B. How? A. If you don't know its a lie."

Hi! Not sure if you will see this but your video was the first I ever watched on leaving the witnesses. I appreciate your video so much. Thank you!

Thanks for doing this. I have left to and wanted to tell my story for all those I love and are still in this cult. I really appreciated your video and I wish you the very best for you and your family.

Yes yes yes. ENJOY your beautiful life! Brave, strong and educated. There are more of us than we know. I thank God you're out and your children too.

I feel for every JW I come across. I make every effort to try and plant the seed of doubt via the scriptures. The one topic I never take my hand off is the Deity of Jesus Christ. It is the one truth I present. I feel for my friends who are JW's because I can view them as friends but they will always view me as an opposer. What keeps me engaging and pressing them on doctrinal issues is the hope that the small water drops begin to feel like a water fall on their heads. I hope that you are able to find the true Jesus and allow him to heal your broken heart and bring you into true salvation.

Disfaloship foolish women you girls 😄😄😄😄😄

¿Es Jesucristo realmente Dios? Mar. 13:32, VV (1977): “De aquel día o de aquella hora, nadie sabe, ni los ángeles en el cielo, ni el Hijo, sino sólo el Padre.” (Claro, no sería así si el Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu Santo fueran coiguales o Manifestaciónes triples [Unicidad] y constituyeran una sola Divinidad. Además, si -conforme sugieren algunos- la naturaleza humana del Hijo le impedía tener conocimiento al respecto, todavía se tiene que preguntar: ¿Por qué no lo sabía el Espíritu Santo ya que Jesucristo fue bautizado en el río Jordan?) Mat. 20:20-23, VV (1977): “La madre de los hijos de Zebedeo [...] le dijo [a Jesús]: Ordena que en tu reino se sienten estos dos hijos míos, el uno a tu derecha, y el otro a tu izquierda. Entonces Jesús, respondiendo, dijo: [...] A la verdad, mi copa beberéis [...] pero el sentarse a mi derecha y a mi izquierda, no es mío darlo, sino a aquellos para quienes está preparado por mi Padre.” (¡Qué extraño es esto si -conforme afirman algunos- Jesús es Dios! ¿Estuvo Jesús contestando aquí simplemente conforme a su “naturaleza humana”? Si, como dicen los trinitarios, Jesús era verdaderamente “Hombre-Dios” -tanto Dios como hombre, no una sola cosa o la otra- ¿realmente sería consecuente recurrir a dicha explicación? ¿No muestra más bien Mateo 20:23 que el Hijo no es igual al Padre, que el Padre ha reservado ciertos privilegios para sí mismo?) Mat. 12:31, 32, VV (1977): “Todo pecado y blasfemia será perdonado a los hombres; mas la blasfemia contra el Espíritu no les será perdonada. A cualquiera que diga alguna palabra contra el Hijo del Hombre, le será perdonado; pero al que la diga contra el Espíritu Santo, no le será perdonado ni en esta época ni en la venidera.” (Si el Espíritu Santo fuera una persona y fuera Dios, este texto sería una contradicción rotunda de la doctrina de la Trinidad, porque significaría que de algún modo el Espíritu Santo sería mayor que el Hijo. Más bien, lo que Jesús dijo muestra que el Padre, a quien pertenecía el “Espíritu”, es mayor que Jesús, el Hijo del hombre.) Juan 14:28, VV (1977): “[Jesús dijo:] Si me amarais, os alegraríais, porque he dicho que voy al Padre; porque el Padre es mayor que yo.” 1 Cor. 11:3, VV (1977): “Quiero que sepáis que Cristo es la cabeza de todo varón, y el varón es la cabeza de la mujer, y Dios la cabeza de Cristo.” (Es patente, pues, que Cristo no es Dios, y que Dios es de rango superior al de Cristo. Debe notarse que esto se escribió alrededor de 55 E.C., unos 22 años después que Jesús había regresado al cielo. Por eso la verdad que se declara aquí aplica a la relación entre Dios y Cristo en el cielo.) 1 Cor. 15:27, 28, VV (1977): “Todas las cosas las sometió [Dios] debajo de sus pies [los de Jesús]. Y cuando dice que todas las cosas han sido sometidas a él, claramente se exceptúa aquel que sometió a él todas las cosas. Y cuando todas las cosas le estén sometidas, entonces también el Hijo mismo se someterá al que le sometió a él todas las cosas, para que Dios sea todo en todos.” Tanto la palabra hebrea Shad·daiʹ como la palabra griega Pan·to·kraʹtor se traducen “Todopoderoso”. Ambas palabras de los lenguajes bíblicos originales se aplican en muchas ocasiones a Jehová, el Padre (Éxo. 6:3; Rev. 19:6). Jamás se aplica ninguna de estas expresiones al Hijo ni al espíritu santo. ¿Enseña la Biblia que sea Dios cada uno de los que -según se afirma- es parte de la Unicidad y Trinidad? Jesús dijo en oración: “Padre, [...] ésta es la vida eterna: que te conozcan a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Jesucristo, a quien has enviado” (Juan 17:1-3, VV [1977]; bastardillas nuestras). (La mayor parte de los traductores usan aquí la expresión “único Dios verdadero” con referencia al Padre. Str dice: “Solo Dios verdadero”. Nadie puede ser “el único Dios verdadero”, el “solo Dios verdadero”, si hay otros dos que sean Dios al mismo grado que él, ¿verdad? Cualesquier otros seres a quienes se llame “dioses” tienen que ser: o falsos, o simplemente un reflejo del Dios verdadero.) 1 Cor. 8:5, 6, VV (1977): “Aunque haya algunos que se llamen dioses, sea en el cielo, o en la tierra (como hay muchos dioses y muchos señores), para nosotros, sin embargo, sólo hay un Dios, el Padre, del cual proceden todas las cosas, y nosotros somos para él; y un solo Señor, Jesucristo, por medio del cual son todas las cosas, y nosotros por medio de él.” (Aquí se presenta al Padre como el “un Dios” de los cristianos y en una clase que lo distingue de Jesucristo.) 1 Ped. 1:3, VV (1977): “Bendito sea el Dios y Padre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.” (Varias veces, aun después del ascenso de Jesús al cielo, las Escrituras se refieren al Padre como “el Dios” de Jesucristo. En Juan 20:17, después de la resurrección de Jesús, él mismo se refirió al Padre como “mi Dios”. Luego, cuando estuvo en el cielo, conforme se registra en Revelación 3:12, él nuevamente usó la misma expresión. Pero no se dice nunca en la Biblia que el Padre se haya referido al Hijo como “mi Dios”; y ni el Padre ni el Hijo se refieren al espíritu santo como “mi Dios”.) Para comentarios sobre los textos bíblicos que algunos utilizan para probar que Cristo es Dios, vea las páginas 209-213, en la sección titulada “Jesucristo”. En Theological Investigations (Investigaciones teológicas) Karl Rahner, S.J., admite: “Θεός [Dios] aún no se usa nunca para el Espíritu”, y: “ὁ θεός [literalmente: el Dios] nunca se usa en el Nuevo Testamento para hablar acerca del πνεῦμα ἅγιον [espíritu santo]” (Baltimore, Md.; 1961, traducido del alemán, tomo I, págs. 138, 143).

Psalm 37:29 The righteous will possess the earth & reside on it forever 🌍 👇 Isn’t this talking about paradise on earth ? Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.i The former things have passed away.” Remember Satan is ruling the world 🌎 👇 Revelation 12:7-12 7 And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el*a and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail,* nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven. 9 So down the great dragonb was hurled, the original serpent,c the one called Devild and Satan,e who is misleading the entire inhabited earth;f he was hurled down to the earth,g and his angels were hurled down with him. 10 I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come to pass the salvationh and the power and the Kingdom of our Godi and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!j 11 And they conquered himk because of the blood of the Lambl and because of the word of their witnessing,m and they did not love their souls*n even in the face of death. 12 On this account be glad, you heavens and you who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea,o because the Devil has come down to you, having great anger, knowing that he has a short period of time ☝️ Think 🤔

Cults are Religious Abuse to the Max. I was set free by The GRACE of GOD,JESUS & HOLY SPIRIT IN 1989. THE REAL Kingdom.Accepting JESUS as my Saviour. The JW's are not the Way or the Truth, JESUS is. John 14:6 Jesus said I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH & THE LIFE ,NO MAN COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME(YESHUA) JESUS. The devil is a lier and copycat of anything to do with GOD THE FATHER GOD THE SON & GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT. KJV bible is a good & True Bible, The new world translation is added to and taken away from,which is blasphemy. The last page of Revelation states all the plagues will be added to the persons that adulterated the Holy Scriptures.COMPARE .Bibles....(EXAMPLE)JOHN 1:1.The new world translation is printed by the watchtower,Watchtower, & tract society in Brooklyn, New York. All their literature is printed there and fits in with their cultic belief system. Sickening.11 years of my life,literally torched in an abusive marriage that "the elders" pressed me to stay in,further religious abuse from JW organization, our two children were damaged by both experiences. I should have taken the organization to court for Abuse....... Spiritually,Mentally and Financially. I know vengeance is the LORD'S,HE WILL REPAY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE, YOU D ABSOLUTELY DID THE RIGHT MOVE, IN SPIRIT & REAL TRUTH. SET FREE.

It is the same if your family and friends and churches are Jesuit Freemasons and they call you a delusional bipolar schizophrenic and hospitalized me after I reported abuse and other people got credit for my accomplishments and inheritance and were paid off to basically keep me under their control and drugged and discredited.

Congrats! My wife and I have been out for 6 years now. She pioneered for 17 years and I was a MS and elder for 17

Jehovah,s witnesses are.nobody, im not, your not, a king a queens not, nobodys anyone,,, undeseved, kindness, ipon undeserved kindness ,, why we are here, elders I admit, think they,r some one but there not, true.init, our rightouseness.is like a.period of.menstruation,, true aswell,,, we are no one, at the.side of.the.almighty, psalm.39,

All videos that I see about the same issue don't want to talk about details. So how we will understand what really happen. Not enough facts

Thank you for sharing. I’m divorced. My 8 and 10 year old boys are semi-in… And I always tell them, the 8 men in NY are lying and misleading mommy…. But mommy loves you very much and wants what is best.

You are beautiful soul :) Bravo and Congrats to your family. My husband and I did the same 2 yrs ago. Enjoy your life my dear, do what you love ,finally :):):)

I am concerned about you saying you "lied" to your boys. I realize that this may be a word choice based on the level of your children's understanding. Actual lying, though, implies that you know what the truth is and are deliberately deceiving someone. The fact is, you didn't know what the truth was yourself. I am glad you all got out of that controlling, manipulating organization. Enjoy your new-found freedom!

Being a Christian is having a personal relationship with Jesus and NOT an organization that judges and condemns you and then demand you come to THEM for repentance

The Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael Heiser answered a lot for me. It’s an academic book and peer reviewed. It’s excellent and destroys WT theology effortlessly

Watchtower doesn’t teach the real Yahweh of the Bible or Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They’ve polluted the real epic narrative of the Bible

You should'nt beat yourself up so much over your past jw involvement you are a good person, millions have been and still are being duped by this con organisation.

Thank you so much for this, your beautiful transparency and forthrightness in telling your story to your family and others watching who so very much need an honest testimony from entrapped lives. I applaud you and thank God (I’m a Christian, not a JW) for you and your husband working so hard for your sons and family and giving them freedom of choice ... I pray if you haven’t already that you come to know the TRUE Jesus Who loves you with an eternal love and desires you to freely come to Him, not by means of control!! Thank you for caring so much to make this video and share it to bless others! Love Nancy

Your sons are very lucky boys x

I wonder what happened to you, hope you are well.

I am glad to have listened to this young and brave woman because her story was the first of its kind as far as am concern. To be compelled to make research out of concern for her children was indeed unique. Most of us left the CULT because we had personal doubts, not leaving on what we found out in our quest to help others. The boys are her kids, but love for her kids drove her to make research, that was great.
