6. Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses - how to recover fully in shortest time - answer may surprise you!

[@laymanphil8513]

Thanks for your video. I left the Watchtower cult in April 2019. I think I am very lucky to live in our time because the internet has allowed me to see that I was not alone in my position, which unfortunately is not was the case in the 80s. Today thanks to the EXJW dissidence we are no longer alone in our isolation and this gives me great strength to be a local activist myself. More and more of us are taking this path. Yesterday we were all dispersed, today thanks to social networks we have become a great force. A big thank you to all the global dissidents who become more numerous every year.

[@faithhopefuture]

Yes, there are grear resources now online. My opinion is that every JW is one Google search away from leaving. One Google search away from discovering sth that will expose the organisation for what it is. A high-control cult led by unscrupulous men who place themselves as substitutes for Christ.

Thank you for this information. I completely agree that the NWT is tainted to support the false beliefs of the JW organization. I'm going to go out today and get another bible and start to read the Greek scriptures!

[@faithhopefuture]

Amazing! I believe you will be edified and blessed for doing so. ❤

[@edarnold1647]

What a wonderful countenance you have! So nice that you approach this topic with love. I've never been a JW but am well aware of the cult. Seems the 'Christian' cults all offer the same...a tight rope (with pole) you must walk your way to salvation instead of it being a free gift.

[@faithhopefuture]

Yes, they make it about works and put heavy demands on people just like the Pharisees did with the Law adding rules making it legalistic instead of grace.

[@riveravon5296]

I became a pimo for around 10 years ago. My defining moment was through investigating the BibeI for the Greek word pneuma or spirit and realized we have been lied to by nearly all Christians and especially JWs. We are first and foremost spirits as told throughout the NT and is essential to understand the concept of for instance hell and love. The following is from the three first letters from Paul. “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:” Romans 8:16. “For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:11. “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” 1 Corinthians 5:5. Thanks for your kind and loving words in your video.

[@faithhopefuture]

Yes we are spirits dwelling in earth bodies - I fully agree with you on this!!

[@riveravon5296]

@@faithhopefuture If so, you are truly one of the 144000, one of the rightous, and one of the kings mentioned reining in the thousand years we are living in now: "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Really, we are living in these years. Love you.

You are so right; it's so sad when JW'S escape only to give up on their Father God and their Saviour Jesus Christ altogether and are therefore little better off. 🙏

Thank you! Good videos!

Glad you like them!

[@TheCookingRat]

My teenage years was robbed from me.. i left when a few months ago as a 19 y.o..if it wasnt for the organisation i would of made friends in the outer world now im not in the organisation guess ill have to start from scratch.

[@faithhopefuture]

Well done for leaving. Imagine that you’ve moved to a new country and culture now. Keep an open mind. And keep thanking God for sending the right people and opportunities your way. You will be so much happier once you adjust to life outside. And remember you can keep the good stuff if you wish - the not drinking, swearing etc. But now you have a CHOICE instead of constant peer pressure and being watched.

[@TheCookingRat]

@@faithhopefuture words put together well about it.. thanks

[@cherylhennessy57]

Thank you for this!

[@MrMrmetro]

Do you agree that they are not the only ones that have done this, right? I am convinced that the body of truth can be learned from any full bible (not paraphrased). The key is context rather than version. We all should be using many translations.

[@juanreyes9824]

It's nice to see that you are doing wel,thank you for your support and help, take care and I wish you success in everything you do.

[@faithhopefuture]

Thank you 😊

[@hereticjonathan3067]

Thank you for you video Samantha.I wholeheartedly agree.Leaving the Witnesses & God is the kiss of death. The great corruption that the governing body has perpetrated isn't Jehovah's fault.It is actually prophesied to happen,as 2 Thessalonians 2:3&4 clearly states. Reading the Gospels is an excellent way to get one's mind replenished,as you encouraged. Have a peaceful week.🙏😊

[@faithhopefuture]

Thank you! If upon leaving Witnesses we leave behind our faith then the Governing Body and Organisation WIN. Because they have managed to confuse our mind into rejecting our Heavenly Father whom they do not know at all and whom they grossly misrepresent. It’s what they are placed to do. This is their true agenda. To prevent the good news about Christ reaching our hearts. By keeping focus on ‘the organisation’ instead of Jesus, who barely even gets a passing mention. It’s incredibly sinister when you start to examine it.

[@hereticjonathan3067]

@faithhopefuture8800 On my KZbin channel Heretic Jonathan i done a number of video's recently drawing the parallel's between cult leader Jim Jones & the governing body.The similarities are staggering.

[@cherikerr8595]

Thank you Samantha for your insight. Very helpful. 😊

[@markusmalerei1]

Thanks for your words! I understand what you mean. I try to be on this way…🌹

[@rubenmartinez-zs7wh]

Excellent video, invaluable advice. It is true that the Bible is the Old Testament plus the New Testament. However the Jehovah Witnesses leaders always have being focused on destroying Jesus Christ. They needed to Steele Jesus Christ authority and take his power for themselves. That explains why a non falsified New Testament is the best and most effective way to go back to our Savior and Mediator. Hopefully he will forgive us and bless US with Eternal Life.

[@faithhopefuture]

Thank you. You are absolutely right about the motive of JW leadership. Everything they teach and do is carefully planned to keep people as far away from Jesus as possible. So reading about him and meditating on it is essential to begin to understand what it is to be a follower of Christ instead of following this organisation of men.

[@Irene.Shalom]

Absolutely true, leaving the Bible and our Father together with the JWs is counterproductive and frankly offensive to God. He's separated from human religious organizations and their errors and leaving Him doesn't allow us to receive His help in the process. I would suggest starting from page 1 of Scripture and doing a cover to cover study, because the Bible is one whole book, it's not 2 separate units. We need the first testament as much as the second.

[@faithhopefuture]

Although I agree with all of the Bible being valuable the reason the Gospels are key for JWs is because they are taught these passages only truly apply to the 144,000 supposed to be the limit of those going to heaven. “In my Father’s house there are MANY ROOMS”! “God is not partial”! Yet I was told the NT doesn’t really apply by my own Mother repeatedly! So no need to read it too seriously … So many JWs study the Old Testament mainly. However it’s by reading the NT/Greek Scriptures and Jesus words you understand he never split people in two groups, nor set a limit or number on those going to Heaven - we are all God’s children and co-heirs with Christ. The ‘little flock’ and ‘other sheep’ simply refers to Jewish believers and the Gentiles to be added which Jesus was preparing them to accept.

[@oatmilkcoffeelover]

Does this mean that God doesn't hate me... 😭 what if God loves me, even if these 8 men disfellowshipped me and whole family shuns me. Thank you, this helped me

[@faithhopefuture]

You are loved and precious, a child of God, the Most High. He made you as unique as a snowflake and has much he wishes to bless you with. Nothing can separate us from God's love - not elders, not the organisation nor shunning by family. No one can take you away from being special to Him. No one has that right. Keep seeking Him. Read the word, listen to gospel music that uplifts and repeats bible verses. Stay away from any JW content as its tainted.

[@mikepuccini4932]

Exactly, right. Watchtower use to use the KJV but eventually realized that it did not support their teaching and they would have to write their own Bible. How bold to think they could rewrite God's word. ☹

[@faithhopefuture]

Well I can easily prove the JW doctrines wrong even from the NWT because they can’t change everything. I keep finding subtle changes that alter the meaning of whole passages. Each time it heaps more damning evidence. Many have realised the lies and discrepancies even from reading just the NWT. How serious is changing the Bible? The changes these men have made to God’s Word will cost them their eternal futures unless they come clean about it and repent. Because changing even one word is a serious matter. Claiming a loving God would not put people in hell is a well known lie Satan tells people in the occult. It is an occult teaching that Witnesses have adopted. Along with the teaching that we don’t have a spirit part and all of us dies with the physical body passing. Jesus spoke repeatedly about hell for a reason. As a warning for both people and fallen spirits headed there. Yes people. Taking the word ‘hell’ out of the Bible doesn’t make it less real! And as for substituting it with fear of Armageddon instead… that’s just next level manipulation and control through fear. As the saying goes - Different levels different devils! More about these topics in videos coming out shortly.

[@mikepuccini4932]

@@faithhopefuture exactly! I've never been a JW but I correspond with several and they keep saying that a loving God would not send people to hell. God is also JUST and unrepentant sin will be paid for. I'm glad God drew you out of there. 😁

The governing body is not all American. Brother Loesch is German, one is Australian, another is African

[@faithhopefuture]

Yes a generalisation ofc but they are not representative of any group but rather a self-selecting boys club. Men of a certain age. With dark motives. They have a global mega church to keep under control.

[@bernadettekelly8165]

Tell me lady ! Who really is the faithful and discrete slave ???

[@whats_the_truth]

It a person in a PARABLE that Jesus gave. NOT a prophecy, like the mentally unstable JW's believe. Those people are so mind controlled, it's really sad. They think it's loving to mentally and emotionally torture their friends and family if the GB says too. Jw's lack the ability to think for themselves. Very sad for anyone who is trapped in WT or fooled into believing JW garbage. You're probably a jdumb yourself. You can't count your time.

[@robinabbott1526]

I was involved with J W’s for a while until I became a born agin Christian. Who the JW Jesus is is not the Christ presented in the Bible in context. There used to be a ton of books out contrasting JW teachings vs. biblical teachings. Also there were false prophecies.

[@faithhopefuture]

I’m glad to hear you became born again. I became born again and received a Holy Spirit anointing while still a Witness. I know many others are being called out also. The blasphemous and misleading teachings about Jesus are what made it impossible for me to remain anywhere near Witnesses. They have no understanding that the Bible calls Jesus God, and gives examples of people praying to Jesus and worshiping him. And that it’s God’s explicit wish and command that we focus on the Son not him! We are called to be witnesses of Jesus not Jehovah!! Which in any case is a dark freemasonic rendering of the Hebrew word. www.freemason.pt/jehovah/

[@anointedbygodandchristnotj5188]

My dear sister. I wish you were my wife. I have been a wittness for over 50 yrs and am one the anointed. I cherish my hope and love Jehovah with all my heart. I have had to come away from what now just a controling organisation just like the pharisees in Jesus day. I absolutely live Jehovah. So much more now that im not contrlled but out of my OWN choice. I feel free to talk with god from my own heart rather than as a religious arrangement! Jehovah has never taken me away from my heavenly hope. I certainly dont deserve it but as you mentioned who does? Ive helped so many people over the 50 yrs ive been a wittness but for many years have refused to put reports in. I just love people and dont need to prove my qualifications on bits of paper! Jehovah does that in my daily life.

[@ucanliv4ever]

At least we can agree that we disagree, but without being disagreeable. Your analysis of military service for example. A pagan military commander? And Cornelius already was in the military before he learned the good news. The Bible doesn't say one way or the other if afterwards he quit the military or remained. So it's a conscience matter and these are adjudicated by the local elders. I know personally two brothers who were police officers. They were not disfellowshipped and one was even an elder. Sorry , no sale

[@ucanliv4ever]

In the days of king David, Israel had an army. Jesus put an end to that. How can one beat his or her sword into a plowshare and serve in the military?

[@faithhopefuture]

So it’s left up to our conscience as an individual believer re military service or joining the police force. The Bible does not make a hard and fast rule for a reason… so we have free will to choose. The absolute liberty the organisation takes is making rules it imposes on its members by forcing them to live every minutiae of their life according to whatever conclusions the writing desk at Bethel came to at the time when covering a topic. This stops people from living out their lives in the way God intended - as a personal faith walk with him. It also stops a person from maturing and learning to make decisions. Infantilising! Trying to sell the idea that God created us all different with different giftings to then shoehorn all of us into ONE BOX LABELLED PIONEER??? Disgusting to limit God’s creation in such a non-Biblical way. An agenda that limits Witnesses from ever stepping into their true purpose, and its intentional by the way. By design. But not by God’s design, the enemy’s.

[@faithhopefuture]

@@ucanliv4everat times God has instructed his people to fight like he did Israelites. Yes Jesus taught peace. But he also foretold wars in the last days. He did not prophecy that they would end yet. Nor that his followers would avoid involvement. Essentially what I’m saying is that some people were put here to serve in armies as God has thus ensured certain nations survive and remain established. There is a bigger picture, a global one. Every single person has a unique design and purpose. Unless you are designed to be an evangelist, pioneering is not going to be a natural fit. God would rather see you discover and step into your true purpose which will benefit your community and yes, even country.

[@whats_the_truth]

What if living forever on earth still appeals to someone and they can't seem to shake that? It does seem logical. Nothing else from the JW's carries any weight but that one thought still does. Probably because it was the first thing that I learned from them. Are you from England or Wales? Went to Wrexham a few years ago. Quite lovely.

[@faithhopefuture]

If living on earth appeals I’m certain it can be arranged. God is ultimately very loving, he takes into account what we have on our heart. And Jesus said anything we ask for in His name we will be given… However Heaven is described as Paradise in the Bible so maybe wait until you’ve seen it. You might not want to come back! 😊
