Why I Left the Jehovah's Witnesses

[@eyeswideopen8570]

Love your videos, I see why the elders wanted to use you as a public speaker, you are very articulate, state facts and have a calming voice. Please keep making videos to help those who are still waking up and searching for answers and validation.

Confirmation bias and deception is a scary thing. Colossians 2:8 shows that Judaizers were trying to get Jewish Christians back to observing the Mosaic Law. (Col 2:11, 16, 17) The apostle Paul showed, one must appreciate the role of Jesus Christ in the outworking of God’s purpose in obtaining true wisdom and accurate knowledge. (Col 1:9, 10; 2:2, 3) The Colossians were to be on guard against persuasive arguments through a human way of thinking. Such a philosophy and now critical thinking would be part of the world,” that is, the principles or basic components and motivating factors of the world, “and not according to Christ.”-Col 2:4, 8. We all have two roads in front of us and have to make a choice on which one we will take. We all know there is only one God and one truth, and one organization Jesus Christ started in the 1st century CE. And we know that the true God conceals the truth from people that do not deserve to know. (Matthew 11:25) At that time Jesus said in response: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and intellectual ones and have revealed them to young children. Also (Matthew 13:10-13)

[@tammyg8031]

Sheila, your family will wake up. I woke up after 50 years of my life inside this very deceptive and sinister CULT. Try to move forward and prepare for their exit. I personally sought counseling. I think that it is very imperative. Know that you are definitely doing the right thing by Leaving the organization which is a very high controlled culture that is being severely religiously ABUSED. There will be a major BLOW to the GB and WTBS. Many many JWS are leaving. The more that we tell our own story and expose this CULT the more people are reached, and wake up. The key is : If we use the SAME techniques that the WTBS got us in, is the SAME EXACT ways it will be taken down. When we tell our story, its equivalent to be on a circuit assembly giving an experience in the organization. Sending our videos to others that we know is like placing literature. Those are just a few examples. More importantly being able to reason with JWS effectively is KEY. Stating the facts and exposing the FACTS OF THE CULT IS ALSO PROFOUND. I am sure that in the near future that their will be a major class action lawsuit. Writing ✍ to our senators and commissioner is also key. This CULT is definitely a terrorist type of organization. The leadership instills 😨 FEAR TO TERRORIZE ITS MEMBERS AND ROBS THEM OF THEIR FREEDOMS. This CULT is Modern Day SLAVERY hidden in plain sight. Human Trafficking is really what this CULT is doing in broad daylight. Getting the word out about this CULT in a very factual and dignified way will go a long way. I make it a point to tell my story to anyone and everyone every day. You wouldn't believe how people respond. They are very supportive and want to always know how 🤔 i woke up. My prayers are with you Sheila and I am hopeful that things will work out for you as well as all of us who have family and friends still stuck in this CULT. There is a great motivational speaker name Les Brown. He did a video called: Getting Unstuck. Its under Tony Wealthy. The video is an older one, and is about 45 minutes long. It's a great story that he tells about an experience. It is on you tube. I STRONGLY STRONGLY encourage you and anyone out there to listen to it. My sincere prayers are with you and everyone out there hurting from the emotional pain that this 💔 CULT'S LEADERSHIP has caused.

[@sammyytube5999]

@@tammyg8031 Thank you for sharing your experience over 50 years. What an encouragement for individuals of that amount of time and more feeling to scared to leave the bubble or thinking that it is just too late with all of the time that they have given up and not knowing where to begin. It is under suck duress that they remain awake and imprisoned b/c they can't speak to anyone; and they turn to excessive alcohol or meds to cope with the anxiety and depression. Indeed we are fortunate to have an online outlet to which the org can not force you to stay away from no matter guilting and threating talks of apostates. But one has to be diligent and constantly prayful with outside research to take that leap and know that a true savior will catch them and show them, even to the direction of external help as well. I am much further along in my wake up process. So happy to say that I am absolutely NOT mental stuck and giving the org more power although I still get a few triggers that I can now shake off more easily so that it does not turn into lasting doubts. But I did search the old video that you suggested by Les Brown and it powerful. Along with this current vidoe, I will use some points for Brown to help others who still might be afraid to look outside. Stay well, spiritual and free.

Thank you for this video! Today is a holiday for the “world “, children receiving presents and family sharing time and love. My husband and I have woken up now for years (me 3 years, him 2years ago). Last year with the C-19 everybody was in lockdown so We didn’t feel the loneliness or “confusion ” we are experiencing today. My non-JW children sent me pics of the grandkids opening their presents and their happy faces doing so and saying thank you! So this year we feel odd! We feel lost and don’t take me wrong we have felt this in many occasions during the year but today it’s depressing!We are not returning to JWs because of their constant changes in doctrines, non-biblical procedures and the CSA. But I needed to throw how we feel out there and just take it out of my chest, maybe helps me- so Thanks for reading this! Thanks again for this video, 👍 and subscribed! Be safe everyone!

[@krissykatportal]

I think for us ex Jw’s it feels like we don’t belong in that religion anymore but don’t really feel like we belong in the world either. That’s because of the years of brainwashing, fear, shame, and intimidation by the leadership. It’s a long process to heal from this kind of spiritual abuse. Don’t be too hard on yourself and make as many friends as you can. 🥰sending love from your sister in California.

I am both envious and happy about your quick exit plan upon waking up. Not even pretending to go on for a full year after being sickened with the real truth. Pimos today are so fortunate to be homebound on zoom with the cameras off as they prepare for the grand exit. And always a smart move to change congregations for less familiar eyes and pressure. I am curious in your new congregation of a few months, did you feel guilted to try to give the appearance of comments and rare ministry in case brothers from previous hall inquired of you and likely called you? In any case, I could image your difficult recovery period before you were able to speak about this. Every reason you gave for leaving is spot on. How exhausting it was to be in a gathering and constantly censor exposing the things you like and the things you did w/o someone giving you a critical eye or a judgement comment to correct you and bring it all back to Jeh. One of my first acts of rebellion upon becoming PIMO was checking a brother/sister on any correction to me with "no, I meant exactly what I said or did and it doesn't bother my conscience." That and then forcing myself not to read the NWT for personal reading in my own home, nor preparing that WT for comment. And boy did it become apparent that I did not know much about the scriptures beyond what was presented and packaged for me. JWs have a huge deprogramming and mental development process to go through due to this abusive org. But it is experiences like this to show that it is possible to come out healthier, stronger and smarter on the other side, and the fear and work involved is worth it.

I am loving this video because I feel like I could have made one for myself that would be exactly the same. I'm bookmarking this to help explain myself to others. Thanks. Also your illustrations are great! They really help connect the dots. The feelings wheel and your drawing of WT having a lock on each aspect of your life uncovered a memory. I once planned a night out to a comedy club. I spent hours pouring over content trying to find a comedian that was "clean" and funny, and emailed everyone explaining how they were vetted. I was nervous if anyone would want to chance it. Then we went, and I was really anxious that the comedians would be bad and everyone would think I was bad. I thought it turned out well but when we got dessert after, everyone had a stick up their butts for idk why. Probably all feeling guilty in their own ways. We could never relax! Can you tell how desperate I was to have just a little fun? And now I could just walk into a club and enjoy a show. And actually have fun without fear. I had no idea how anxious I was. It's so insulting how they tell JWs not to be anxious. I used to feel shameful about feeling anxious at all, and it was my whole life. That's some dark psychological bullshit!

[@exjwdiaries]

Thank you! Yeah, I can definitely relate to the anxiety of trying to set up events with other JWs. Any little thing can completely change their view of you.

Thanks for sharing! The only thing I would push back on is your closing remarks. Like many religions, JW's do have a lot to do with God. That is how they continue to exist. Whether motivated by fear and shame or not, many of their members are God fearing, law abiding, and principled individuals, which is attractive to honest hearted people on the outside. The harmful doctrines, cover ups, and policies of its leaders, however, have exposed them as just another man made religious organization that has benefitted financially from the controlled mindset of its members.

My dad was an elder for many years and even he left the organization because of the hypocrisy.

[@K.S.MangoldArt]

@@level_earth_observer1986 The CO did not really want to talk about it, he used the typical scriptures like Isa 40:22. I didn't really expect him to admit it, in fact, I had written a few letters to the branch before that and never received a reply. But since that time, my research has led me to conclude that 'modern science' was created to deceive people about the causes of observable phenomena. Of course, one of the early deceptions was evolution with Darwin. And then came the heliocentric globe model (a geocentric stationary plane is more likely to be true). Then along came particle physics (with Einstein being the front man) - field physics seems more likely to be true. And since the plandemic started, I began to research germ theory and found that terrain theory is more likely to be true, especially with how the immune system works.

@exjwdiaries Hey Justin, When you became a Ministerial Servant, did the elders discuss 1 Timothy 3:8-12 (NWT) with you? It's interesting to note that JWs changed the word "Deacon" to "Ministerial Servant" in the NWT. In the King James Bible, it's says "Deacon." I wonder if they made this change to distinguish themselves from the church. I mean the title was fine in the 1611 KJV four hundred years ago . Again why did that need to be changed ?

[@41orchard]

Because they close the kingdom of heaven to men; for you yourselves do not enter, nor do you let in those who are on their way to enter." look at the Conclusion of Jesus (John ch 10: 09,10) 9- I am the door; whoever enters by me will be saved, and will enter and he shall go out, and find pasture.” 10- A thief comes only to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

the only problem for Jehovah's Witnesses is not to take as an example what Jesus instituted in their memory, which was to eat and drink the emblems in the Lord's Supper! for it is one baptism and one hope of eternal life. Ephesians 4: 4-6 note 4- There is one body and one spirit, just as you were called in a hope to which you were called; 5- one Lord, one faith and one baptism; 6- God, unique and Father of all, who is above all, and through all and in all.

Hey bro, congrats on leaving the organization. Just our of curiosity, have you found a church since you left, that's NON JW related? I ask because i hope they did not ruin your belief on God like so many others i have seen.

[@gr8lydeceved663]

Great, video....keep up the work,,but no pressure, lol....

[@exjwdiaries]

More is on the way 👍

[@suejoyful5576]

i love your videos. Now i see them standing in the street corners. So sad to see them doing that. "nothing" just nothing but stand there making their hours and put on a peice of paper and turn it in to watchtower to avoid getting in trouble. Then i see another 2 just jogging passing houses with their briefcase and tie. 😆 its August now in 2022 in calif. 👋

Mines had really nothing to do with doctrine. Mines had more to do with control. It was after I left that I started researching and it solidified me never going back.

[@mkoziol2001]

Awesome video. Thank you.🤟🏾

[@linpawzsukul8431]

Awesome video bro! Was wondering if you are able to provide links/supporting evidence for the hidden truths you talked about?

[@exjwdiaries]

Jwfacts.com is a great resource. The owner of that site has every claim backed up by article references, legal case references and / or scans. The ARC stuff is public record and there are recordings of the proceedings. It’s also worth looking into the work of Barbara Anderson (I’ll be making a video about her soon). She was an ex-Bethel worker who found several documents about known pedophiles in the organization.

[@linpawzsukul8431]

@@exjwdiaries thanks for that!!! Whilst im not a JW and never was, my immediate family is and they cast doubt and question me on many things because they believe to be god's people. Thanks to people like yourself, you guys have helped me open my eyes to these guys. Keep up the great work!!

You will know them by their fruits. I pray that Yah bless you and guide you to all truth.

I have a similar story, what's your info and how I get in contact with you.

[@natashapeeters988]

I am a CSA victim from jw borg. I was told to shut up. Stop lying 🤥. It took me an amount of courage to talk about it. Meanwhile, my "Worldly " friend at school who's 8 years old too...knew that that was more/worse...she took upon herself to get her parents and school teachers/school director and her parents were happy to adopt me. Jw's had wind of it and we moved to Canada 🇨🇦 from Belgium 🇧🇪... this little girl...was the first one to ask friendship on Facebook/ she was watching every week... for me... I love ❤️ 😍 those Worldly kind ♥️ people.

[@natashapeeters988]

She traveled from Belgium 🇧🇪 to British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦/west coast to celebrate our birthdays 🎂 🥳 we were born 2 weeks apart... jw's spiritual paradise doesn't give you less than 1% of this. This is unconditional ❤️ love. Just saying 😌 🤷

Amazing video. Articulated succinctly.

[@chrisconti3271]

Love you videos

[@Me-kl4yk]

I agree with all of this. As a Jw it was horrible.

The two witness rule is in the bible. However the gb uses it wrongfully.

[@cassandrasmith5265]

Yes it is, and it is used in the cases of missing ( stolen) property. Watch tower knows that! They just use the two Witness rule the further their OWN agenda.

[@massiahson6391]

@@cassandrasmith5265 exactly!

[@blackmary9995]

The two witness rule is a serious crime. Take that child to the Doctor for a thoroughl examination that will reveal the truth.

[@Sportliveonline]

yer the real underlying problem is that you cant show what was written down by the Bible writers is true in the first place and is an act of faith ~~that in turn is turned into a power struggle
