Incredible Story from Deanna. Baptized at 10, Pioneered at 11, 25 Bible Studies - Trained by S. Lett

[@jordanburnette8070]

Deana if you read this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Listening to this healed some part of me, made me feel less alone, and inspired me to be insanely optimistic about the future. Thank you, thank you ❤️

The governing body is not inspired, they make mistakes, they vote for "new light ", and if anyone disagrees with them, they kick them out, shun them and label them as apostates, and they're not apologizing, ever, what a loving arrangement 😢

[@Jatoli]

I think that the gov.body votes on new light and new rules. I think each rule or new light needs two- thirds majority, according to Ray Franz book. I wonder how God reacts to that since God «inspires» them?

[@geraldlatchman4583]

@@Jatoli and to disagree with their "man-made" rules and doctrine, you'll be disfellowship and label an apostate, what a loving arrangement, so seeing that this is how they run the "organization " isn't it clear to see that watchtower is in fact a "cult", in the most suttle way ??? 👀

[@Rupunzelsawake]

​@Jatoli According to Jeffery Winder's talk at the 2023 Annual Meeting, new light is only introduced if it's a unanimous decision. If it's not unanimous they figure it's not yet God's timing for the change. So, seems like they've ditched the 2/3 rule.

What is stopping you from getting off your backside and going from house to house with your version of 'truth' if you're so keen for people to believe your opinion? The fact is that you don't even have the integrity or conviction of believing your own lies - you're a coward and a liar - you hide behind your KZbin channel whining and complaining - you're not bringing any changes. .. meanwhile there are over 8.8 million faithful witnesses sharing bible truths in some 239 lands in hundreds of languages - also over 7.2 million bible studies being conducted in fulfillment of Jesus' words - Matthew 24:14 and Mark 13:10 > Matthew 28:19 & 20 You have no share in this divine work - you have nothing to show - you have no accomplishments - what's your excuse? You are a fraud and a coward - your silence is overwhelming - just sayin' .. Free speech is a wonderful thing! Lol! 😁

[@thrivingexjw2061]

I was a JW for 40 years so I understand their “ discipline” rules. When I started attending a nondenominational church, the first thing I wanted to know was if they disfellowship members. The pastor told me that he was not the God police! If someone is sinning ( as we all do) what better place to be then at church. I proceeded to ask HOW the congregation would be kept clean? He gave me an example of someone “living in sin” that is coming to church regularly. What ALWAYS happens is they either get married or they end up leaving on their own. God has a way of keeping things clean. I’ve been at church for over 15 years now & it absolutely works that way.. every time!! The only time someone would be asked to leave ( our pastor is a mandatory reporter) is over child abuse , domestic abuse, murder, ect of course! Those kinds of things get reported to proper authorities. We are at church hoping & praying for people who are far from God, that they will come to church, be loved and learn to follow Jesus!! We are there to help, not disfellowship & judge.

[@MS-sr6mj]

There are pastors and priests who do evil things and remain in the church. That was just a lie.

[@thrivingexjw2061]

@@MS-sr6mj - I didn’t say it would happen immediately, but the darkness ALWAYS comes into the light. I know many members who “ try” to keep things secret.. but in time, it’s always exposed. All in God’s timing.

​@@MS-sr6mj I don't go to church or anything like that. But i like the comment you responded to. The point you make is a weak one in light of the information presented in the comment you responded to. Because no matter what position a human has we all sin. We all make mistakes. Remember Bill Clinton for example? He was President of the US, we all sin all the time. Maybe the best place to go is church, It may be wishful thinking, but i hope Jesus can help me and you out one day.

Watching this, all the laughing, it’s a trauma response. What we’ve gone through as women, as “sisters”, it’s horrifying. No doubt, the elders called her crazy. The craziest part, watching this you learn, while marriage is supposed to be this beautiful thing, it’s absolutely detrimental to women in this organization. We have absolutely no help, no rights. Even our families are more concerned with the organization, then the welfare of their own daughters. It’s sad.

[@mariajacobson2994]

Deanna & Jacek, Thank you so much for this video. Deanna, my heart goes out to you for all the unfair and cruel treatment that happened to you over the years--thank you for sharing your story. Being in for 30 years I saw women treated so badly and made out to be the one with negative actions. But it shows how deeply the mind control was for me that I did not always speak out--by the time I was PIMO for 10 years I was changing a lot of my thinking and how and what I said to people. One young woman who I had not seen since a toddler, and I had a conversation about her mother who was one of my close friends. She said to me with tears in her eyes, "No one has ever said anything good about my Mom." Because the dad was the son of an elder he got away with abuse. Truth came out that he was very mentally abusive 30 years later. Only one of the sad stories of the said influence to people's lives. Your story of overcoming such circumstances is inspiring and gives a lot of people hope. The whole video is excellent and the last twelve or so minutes really pulls it all together.

Hi

[@senecabroach82]

As a kid my parents always said “ you’re going to serve Jehovah as long as you live here”. “ You’re going to the Kingdom Hall as long as you live here”. It wasn’t two weeks after my 18th birthday I moved out with the little money I had . Anything was better than being in that cult .

[@JerryPolanco-y5y]

I'm so glad I watched this interview. It explains exactly what happens to so many members of the org. The emotiomal abuse I was subjected to was catastrophic!!! I read the Bible on my own and enjoy a wonderful relation with God and Jesus.

[@myrmillionade3512]

Help! I need to get out! I’m crying as I write these words because I feel like I am being disloyal to Jehova. I’ve been in and out twice but my programming makes me come back! It’s insane. My rational brain tells me that this is not right. But I love Jehova so much but I can’t see him whilst I’m here. I have never felt so disconnected from my spirituality and my abilities as a healer. My life is so similar to Deanne’s. I had tears flowing down my face as she told her story and it felt like she was talking about me. I would really like it if she reached out to me.

[@huguettejean-ndongo9010]

Woow...is all I can say. I cried at so many parts of your story. When you REALLY believe something, my god that's a powerful force...42+ years for me... and when you suffer the injustices that you did from people you thought had your back, well that's a blow that's almost impossible to recover from. I am a PIMO. I know all too well your story, unfortunately. Jehovah sees everything, Jehovah got this is just not enough anymore. You are an amazing human being..., joy radiates in your smile. I can not imagine going through all that you went through and still keep a smile on my face. I am going through maybe a fourth of what you experienced and I am pissed off at the world. I am so glad you found yourself, peace and real unconditional love. Continue being the beautiful person you were created to be!

I am so sorry that you went through all that. I totally understand how you feel. I felt the indifference and no support when I desperately needed the congregation to support me -a single mother with 3 kids. People looking down on me and not associating with me- leaving a narcissist lazy manipulative husband and pursuing higher education- how dare I do that…I kept wanting to go back. I tried a different congregation. I kept going home crying after every meeting. I lived in Utah too. I finally stopped going and suddenly I felt sooooo much better. My life took a different turn, therapy and getting higher education, bachelors, masters really helped.

Thanks for this interview. There is life after the WT. I studied psychology, Inner child Therapy and community development. Amazing wealth of knowledge but I tell you even today I find it difficult to forgive the cult for damaging the unconditional love that we should have for our children. It takes a long time to clean out the mind, oil the gears to work in different patterns and embrace hope. Faith comes from a relationship with the Father AND the Son, in fact the Son is the one who has authority over all mankind, He is the way, the truth and the life. John 6: the whole chapter. From cult at 20 to freedom at 75, born again for 9 years now with peace of mind. Thanks for sharing Deanna's story because it reminded me of the struggle to break free. I only pray that as the WT crumbles the people trapped inside will see that it is not born, created, governed or approved by God or His Son. God hates religion but stands by His word.

I can see Deanna as a very bright and aware child with a loving disposition. I think her sense of humor has helped her survive the hell she was thrown in starting with the 1st marriage. Her 2nd hubby was thrown into hell when he married her. The sexual abuse and alcoholism rampant within the organization seems worse than in the "world." The commentator made a true point that those not Witnesses are affected detrimentally by the religion. I know my brother growing up was deep into JW and began to withdraw from our Mother (not a JW) and Father (JW but not so active) seeking the company and advice of the spiritual elite in the congregation. Their advice was mostly crap and did not have his best interests at heart and was not what they adviced their children. 😢

Wow your story is incredible! And Ayahuasha is what woke my up. I was a gay ministerial servant struggling to stay faithful to "Jehovah". Then i started working in an organic supermarket and the produce guy was a shaman. He invited me to come drink Ayahuasca with him because he saw how much i was struggling with about everything in my life. At first i refused because it was a "drug" and i was terrified of getting possessed by demons (as a good JW of course). But i got to a point where i was so down and low that i eventually accepted his invitation and thank god i did. Very first thing Ayahuasca showed me were 3 of my previous lives so from the get go my world view was shaken to it's core and i think instantly i realized that I've been lied to my entire life by the JW's. Second thing Aya thought me was the absolute importance of deeply unconditionally loving your self. Nothing of what the JW's teach. This was July 2014 by November was mailed them my withdraw letter and lost every single person in my life being a 4th generation Witness. So Deanna your story is amazing and keep producing Ayahuasca for others to use! It saved my life!!! So much ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Ben from Amsterdam

You literally have to laugh your way through it. I admit, there were many times my laughter sounded more deranged...like The Joker 🤣but still the opposite is crying, depression and suicide...like so many of our people that have left

[@norwalltino]

Wow! The best Ex-jw-video I've seen in years, lovely Deanna speaks so clearly, reasonably and with compassion. Tears are running down my face. I've never been a jw, but married to one for 12 years. What you're telling Deanna would be a great revelation to my Ex-wife, but she shuts down any attempt to wake up. Watchtower destroyed our marriage. Now I'm so impressed by your journey at last you found your paradise healing people with natural substances, plants and fungi. I wish I could visit you and your husband one day!kzbin.info/door/zPU7cPUFkY5DSsye_DA5xg

Incredible story. You were almost destroyed by the JW organization. I worked in Haiti for ten years and they need a lot of support. I met a lot of good people there. Ou ka fe en pil bon bagay pou moun siau.

She blows my mind … so many “accomplishments “ at such a young age! Hey girl, you were above exemplary. Very very rare. I admire you and your story. This video was such a treat. Steven Lett and ALL. Holy Moly!

[@latishabennett702]

Amazing and powerful interview, much appreciated! At first when you walk away from the religion you take everything soo personal which is natural however now i realize more and more that with this cult you can't " win" it literally doesn't matter who you are and how impressive your spiritual resume is the " watchtower theology " just doesn't give a damn they will treat you like " dung" Period!!!!

Thank u both so very much for this!!! Beautiful interview beautiful people💖

[@henrymovses8424]

I have left this organization for about 7 years now and clearly understand this interview, thanks for great video. I may need some help with NLP, how can I get in touch with Deanna if possible I will really appreciate her help, I was in serious depression when I left, gradually helped myself but it was hard - if I can get some help from Deanne, please let me know how ? Ready to pay if needed ! Thanks very much

What is NLP?

[@henrymovses8424]

@@kenmayo7974 NLP is the process of relearning your thought patterns that Deanne coaches now, she spoke about that during interview.

[@DeannaEliseMoore]

@@kenmayo7974 It stands for NueroLinguistic Programming. Its a tool that I use to literally rewire your brain so that you can let go of the trauma, old beliefs and create a future for yourself.

@@kenmayo7974a pseudoscience at best. neuro linguistic programming. The training is usually just a short few days course. Most psychologists think it is a pseudoscience and the fact that there is a lack of regulation and monitoring throughout practitioners careers is troubling.

[@murph8411]

@@kenmayo7974neuro linguistic programming. My previous message seems to have been removed but I’ll try again with slightly less questioning language. It’s a questionable belief that is poorly regulated and certification can be obtained after a course lasting only days. Many psychologists don’t believe it is correct which isn’t surprising when this woman said illnesses are due to your mental states and beliefs and can be cured by reprogramming your outlook on things. Unfortunately if you are suffering from a genetic defect, virus or bacterial infection no amount of trying to change your beliefs is going to help.

This has been by far the BEST video I’ve watched of EX JW. I’m so thankful for both of you. I still hold so much resentment towards them. How do I get information on getting in touch with a therapist that was a works with ex JW? Does Deanna have a website as well? I would like to view it. I appreciate any assistance you may have

You can't help saying the 'truth'. I heard you say that in the beginning 😊. Great you got out. I'm still praying for my family.

[@DeannaEliseMoore]

Yes, I do say "The Truth," and here is why. There is so much controversy when someone uses the phrase The Truth, which has been ingrained into us. When we say The Truth, we are not referring to the dictionary definition of the word truth, we are referring to The Truth as a label, a proper noun grammatically. Much like there is a restaurant in my area called The Kitchen. Obviously not just any kitchen, the only kitchen or my kitchen, in reference to the generic word "kitchen." "The Truth" is a name, a label that they apply to themselves, and thus it's grammatically acceptable for us to use the term The Truth as a proper noun. It has nothing to do with whether or not it is actually truth, which clearly it isn't lol

[@fayboswell3479]
