Leaving the Jehovahs Witness religion

[@ghouse2492]

Hi Patrick I’m so glad you had the insight to know something wasn’t right and got out. This religion was the most depressing religion I’ve ever been a part of. It takes away your soul. It’s full of “ what you can’t do” Jehovah this and Jehovah that… rinse, wash & repeat… once the F.O.G. Wore off I was Freeeee… Welcome to the club that everyone want to be apart of but afraid..😎🌈🦄🥰

It's such a vile religion. I grew up in a family of Jehovah's Witnesses, and hearing them preach love and kindness while simultaneously treating anyone who doesn't believe the same things as them with vitriol used to annoy the fuck out of me. Good job on getting out of there!

JW religion is kind of cult in Taiwan....maybe you can believe Buddhist!

[@samtaylor3866]

I was deeply affected by so many of the things that you said. I am so glad to see young people get out of the Watchtower to live their lives, and make their own choices. I spent my life until age 55 trapped in that religion. I think one of the most devastating things in that organization is that the destructive things that they do, the judging, the shunning, breaking up couples, families, children from parents, also life-long friends, not to mention the lost relationships with non-JW family members--- all that, and more, they have been systematically conditioned over time and repetition to believe it is good, it is love, it is what God wants. They take what is bad and call it good, evil becomes love. It makes me sick. You said many things that show that you are a more ethical person, a more morally-conscious person than most people in general, and light years ahead of your average JW. Our greatest strengths will come from our deepest pain (I saw that somewhere and it rang true.) Be thankful everyday that you are free.

Blimy,,, come on we not that bad,,, are we,

[@GwenPidgeon]

you do not need "them" to understand, agree or approve! You never need to be distraught over this oppression again. Enjoy your loving life. You are worth this.

[@ianpuddick]

Good luck, so glad you are free from the conditioning & control 👍👍, I hope your family are kind too you

I really recommend TheraminTrees here on KZbin. Cheers to you for your courage in sharing your story.

[@HenriettaMRiley]

Glad to see that you found your freedom. Welcome to life outside the cult.

Do please get hold of a copy of DOOMSDAY DECEPTION - the rise and fall of the Watchtower Society (published amazon August 2021) which tells all. Based on more than 50 years investigative journalism and experience of a former JW. Soon after it was published the Watchtower Society removed Pastor Russell's graveside pyramid monument because of the revelations in the book. There are more revelations in the book which will soon bring down the WTBTS

Hello!! Thank you for sharing your story! Myself I spent more than 20 years inside and I'm so happy I'm finally out!! Now I realized the Governing body are con- men! Wishing you the best!!!😃

[@MrCocoriver]

when i first went to church i felt gods love and got free from guilt and learned to forgive myself for not being good enough. gods grace and sacrifice is for us.

[@nicosyiallouris1103]

I am looking forward to your next video thank you so much

[@robmullin1128]

Thank you for sharing your story Patrick! It’s important to not lose faith in God after leaving a high control group. I am gay and still have a strong faith in God. It isn’t about religion,it’s about a relationship with God. Relationship not religion.

[@marti9281]

Wow that didn’t even feel like almost an hour long video because I absolutely loved the way you expressed yourself. For a topic that can feel so heavy especially for those who are still dealing with the jw religion like me, your perspectives were very refreshing. I agreed with everything you said and it’s like all the thoughts I have were put into words! Especially with what you said about how any organization that deals in absolutes is so toxic. At the end of the day we each have to be comfortable with what we believe and we can be relieved that a religion doesn’t cloud our thinking anymore.

[@melleetheka]

The Unseen Realm by dr. Michael Heiser is a big help for clearing out bad theology that WT teaches and answering the questions you’re not allowed to ask or think about when you’re a JW. . This book is an academic book and 100% peer reviewed material.

[@asherasky8147]

Don't ever doubt yourself you are going to be fine. Keep up the positive outlook.

[@joaquinsantana511]

when my son confessed to me that he was gay What’s a surprise for me but I also understand that I have to make a choice my son or my religion of the Jehovah witnesses now I’m 100% sure that I make the best choice my son Now we become not just father and son we are the best friends I respect him he respect me be gay is not a sin you had to be who you are and be free that religion is full of cruel people without love not even for the family now I’m happy that I get out of this cult i’m here for my son not for the governing body if he got marrie I’m going to by we he in hes ceremony thank you thank you for sharing your story

[@xnouztion2660]

A print shop hiding as a religion for tax purposes...oh boy

[@Sportliveonline]

nice to meet you Australia ? The actual writers Editors of the Pentateuch actually compromise the idea there is one truth in such a way there appears to be two accounts of every story although the plot is the same the details differ in many ways ~~~
