Are jehovah’s witnesses toxic people?

[@donnyetta]

Thanks Sven. My jw auntie started preaching to me over the phone. So I told her what I believe in now. She put the phone down on me. They are trained to block their ears to anything negative said about the jw leaders. So I forgive her for being toxic. I am happy that I did not get upset about her cutting me off. I am getting stronger 🎉

Wow that’s beautiful. It doesn’t affect you and then you are free. Just letting it go and accept it as it is. Leave the problem with auntie, that’s her lesson to learn..

Excellent video again! Looking back to being at the kingdom hall I think I was not happy for a long time. I was faking a happiness not only to others but most importantly I had myself convinced that I was happy when I was not...those were the worst of times in my life. Not being your true self is very unhealthy.

Yes i know all about it. Stuffing down who you really are and want to be is hard

Hahaha you’re a hoot Sven !!! Right On 👍

Ya ! 💯 love bombed upon going to Kingdom Hall !!! Zenith after….upon voicing “critical thinking 🧐 “ “””

[@Adventurers360-p6z]

My goodness how this all resonates with me. I had no time as an elder and ran arround doing things without paying attention to my own family or really listening to people😢 The love is an expensive wood veneer often hiding the true surface below that of guilt, shame and unhappiness I have seen so many experiencing.

[@shiftyourmindset2]

Yeah running around is what everybody does🤣

I know it was a serious situation but the Dick head comment to that jerk was hilarious. You had a lot of back bone to stand up for your mom at a young age. Love it.

[@tammyg8031]

Great Video!!!

[@ainiuska9872]

I haven't watch the video yet, but I unfortunately know the answer is YES!

[@shiftyourmindset2]

Haha just watch it when you are chilling.. but you are not far off

One walk on eggshell if you have a different opinion. Friendship only exists only because your believe and opinion are identical.

[@shiftyourmindset2]

@@vestland3877 yeah but is it friendship? Or common thing in your life?

[@vestland3877]

@ no its a false friendship. Now I have real friendships in my life.

[@Antlil2023]

There was an elder that would give beautiful talks he would convince you that he would give his life for you in his talk🥹 But once he got down he wouldn’t even acknowledge you 😂we would laugh afterwards he was one of the biggest jerks there the only time he was nice was when you were kissing his 🫏 I found out that he had a drinking problem he was a bethel light for several years until he married. Awesome video ❤

[@shiftyourmindset2]

Yeah all words no action. The organization is full of them

[@katb945]

I thought most JW were fickle, I learned after a few years not to open up to any JW could not trust their loyalties, sadly this may not have been fair to some that may have been genuine but because of some bad experiences from ones telling things about others that they were nice to their face set of alarms that they would be the same with me so for the few that may have been trustworthy I was to wary to be close to. I came to the conclusion there is not such thing as a true friend in the org.

[@shiftyourmindset2]

It’s at least very very difficult because it always comes with strings attached

[@dyisltd]

Hello! Very insightful vid thank you for sharing as a pimo, really helpful to know these seemingly uniquely confusing experiences are shared and there is hope for my future when I leave😊🫶

[@shiftyourmindset2]

Just do your research before you leave what to expect and you will be fine
