"Over watering the seed." - translation - you're telling the actual truth of what jws believe and directly answering a direct question to someone who is not indoctrinated. That's a huge no-no!

[@annetteblack6882]

So glad your mother saved you and your family from getting further involved with this cult. And I'm glad you both used critical thinking to stay away. They wanted to use your brother's disability as bait, it didn't work!! Bravo, excellent interview!!

[@CanadianLoveKnot]

Ironically Star Wars and James Bond was accepted by all of the JWs I knew. Lord of the rings was okay with some. But Harry Potter was a no no.

So, they've become more extreme - more radical. And yet, Russia misjudged them as extremists? I have often wondered how many Russians knew that JW sees all governments as wild bloodthirsty beasts who should routinely be lied to as an act of theocratic warfare. Yet, a Russian Witness family accepted an award for being a model family from the bloodthirsty bear that is Russia. Isn't that like receiving the mark of the beast? I guess were vindicating, no promoting, Jehovah's name. And accepting awards, thats not avery WT thing to do - a bit of self-promotion, like celebrating a birthday.

CanadianLoveKnot i could watch star wars and chronicles of narnia. harry potter was a big no.

You told your story in an entertaining way. It was a pleasure to listen to it.

[@donnyskinglongliveme]

I love this man! He sounds like such an interesting character! When i was a kid of about 7 we went on a bethel coach trip and the film the driver put on the way home was Star Wars! My parents made me and my siblings close our eyes for the entire film so we did'nt see the evil force, guns and magic! Of course i had my eyes peeping whenever i heard princess Leia's voice haha!

[@jenburlock377]

A very interesting interview, so glad you didn't get baptized and that you did do your research on your own!

[@georgeorwell1618]

Amazing story. Wish I could've been on this session to shake your hands, people.

After forty years of Bible study the most basic simple child question i would ask How do you know that what those people wrote down at the time is true regarding miracles ....

[@carbon273]

Well Star Wars Jedi believe in a thing call the Force. Jehovah witnesses think that the Holy Spirit is an active Force. So not that far off lol

[@gungeternal4119]

Very misinformed comment. The reason why star wars is somwhat tolerable is because lucas himself quoted that he would see the force as bending of science, not magic. HArry potter and LOTR are associated with magic, therefore occult. big difference

[@MelissaBrownapt215]

I'm glad that they do such embecilic things. Who gave them the right to invade your home and take those things? The upside is that sometimes those same idiotic, narrow-minded, paranoid, overreaching behaviors turn people off. And they determine as children, to be no part of it when they reach adulthood. I have heard young people express that once they are 18, they're gone and baptism isn't even on their minds. They'll never be slaves to Jw.borg.

[@vegetasapologetics3214]

So weird how I am looking at these ex-jehovah videos and by accident clicked on this one..I had been planning all night to watch a Star Wars rerun mind you..lol I actually just concluded from here with the part of "not taking the force as a substitute for Jehovah", comment.. have to say thank you God for this. All these Apostates stuff, I feel for those entrapped within any religion ...but to reject the one that gave life. Nah.. it's two in the morning so much of this is probably coming out with a blur. But I just went over to look over to get any feedback from the good book. I again come across just one page and its book of Jude.. states to be aware of men who had faith...or those actually that have the faith then let it go. it's brief.. Jude 10 in particular(it's all one page)😀

[@nickmorris9383]

vincent luppi .....sad that you are so superstitious that you can take a work of pure fiction (star wars), and consider it a religious belief.......as if "anyone" could ever misconstrue the "force" for a "real" religious belief......you are in a "CULT" if you cant see the difference.

[@saremy127]

This is the first stage of leaving the Society, regretting they took away your toys, leaving all of your friends, missing Holidays, and certain movies. Then you go out and experience these things on your own, and over time realize that as evil as the society is, you dont have to be involved in pagan practices to rebel. there is a happy in between

There are extremists in every group. This is not that typical. Different people see things differently. These people are so myopic.

Your all happy to tear down but you cannot build up! What hope do you give? NONE

Satan took 1/3 of the stars with him , this is Masonic code for 33 or the whole 3/3 which is GNOSIS OR GNOSTISM , which the Jehovah’s witnesses are really the 1/3 of light falsely representing the whole 3/3 , falling short - the imperfection . You are the demons , the disgusting thing . You who pours new wine in old sacs and old wine in new sacs , they burst .

[@anderola]

Look! The apostates party! They all think they know better.....sad

[@RaidenMustDie3594]

Anderola someday you will look back at what you've said and think "that's who I was back then, where did I go wrong?"

[@anderola]

GHOST 3594 Where did you go wrong? Only God knows....where did the apostates became apostate? That is the question. For me....I will never change my mind

wonder fuller We had a lot of wrong thoughts, back then, but what matters is today. We have a lot of more insight and knowledge now. We grew, the truth became more clear and brighter for us...and yes we did research for every possible way
