Those who leave this cult, I feel, embody the word COURAGE. Only the strong can escape this emotional-controlling cult. Only brave souls take on all the backlash those inside are dishing out when you decide to leave. Courage, Bravery, and Fearlessness are demonstrated by everyone who decides that they will accept the lies no longer. The opposite apply to the zombies inside the cult. Freedom Rules!
Thank you very much for your brave videos and heart felt concerns. My wife is an active JW and I have woken up. It is very difficult for me at times. I love my wife very much and it has become an issue. The hardest part is that there are topics that are "off-limits". However, I find much encouragement from watching videos from the ex-JW community on youtube. If my circumstances were different I would be right there with you. Keep up the great work and again, much thanks : )
+Tony McGurk I'm sorry you are going through it alone. Be patient with her , just as it takes time to slowly get into the religion , getting out for some takes time as well. Leak out a tiny bit at a time to her. Just as a pioneer once told me about getting into the religion and their beliefs "inch by inch it's a cinch , yard by yard , it's hard" , so a fact or two here and there may be what it takes for some. For me back in April of this year , it was learning about the two witness rule , child molestation , and the so called congregation shunning me when was going through depression , got down to 97 lbs , and they avoided me like I had leprosy! Three "worldly people " is who kept me going no thanks to the watchtower babble and crap society as Kim and Mikey call them.
Be extremely thankful your mate woke up with you. My wife chose to believe the cult over the evidence I shared with her. Our marriage has not been the same since, and we almost divorced.
I know you wrote this 6 years ago but I am in the same situation. I told my husband 6 months ago that wanted to leave JW and he told me I was a stiff necked jew along with some other choice swear words. He has settled down but says he’s never leaving. We had a long discussion how it will impact our lives, friendships etc. He told me to write a letter then blew up because he didn’t like what I wrote. He has since calmed down. We have only been on a few meetings since then even though he can go on the zoom meetings if he wants but chooses not to. I agree this is the worst time in my marriage and I am still wondering if down the road I will want yo divorce. I feel we live on different planets. He still will occasionally say a prayer before we eat and he asks Jehovah to watch over his world wide organization meanwhile I am steaming inside. I also told my husband I will attend meetings if he wants me to ho but with the understanding of how I feel. I do not believe in the GB, they are plain ordinary men not appointed by God. I don’t believe in their doctrines, 144,000 annointed , times of the end or Armageddon, disfellowshipping, or basically most of it. I still fear our marriage may not last.
You are so fortunate. I almost had a nervous breakdown when I woke up and my husband just wouldn't listen. We are still together after 42 years but I still cannot share any of my thoughts, he is in complete denial. 'It is easier to be fooled than to convince someone they have been fooled'. Mark Twain.
I am in the same situation although we are married only 12 years. He was inactive when I met him and he essentially recruited me. Now I want out. It’s not easy. I know what you mean about topics off limits and I truly don’t know how much longer I can last living this way.
Glad it worked out and that your family listened to that little voice inside that things are not quite right. Thanks for sharing your nice and sincere story.
Thank you very much. Your heart felt testimony resonated with my experience. I admire your ability to verbalize the essence of a spiritual awakening. I hope others will be inspired to search for truth with an open heart.
Really liked your video, a very honest account of being able to rationally examine your religion and find the huge holes in it. So happy you both agreed and were able to support each other in your exit.
Congratulations on honouring your marriage and not allowing 8 strangers whom you probably will never even meet dictate your Family’s life and your future. Always best to follow your own intuition especially when both of you feel and recognise the same red flags
I just subscribed to your channel after watching this as the second of two of your videos. I was glued. Never having been a Jehovah's Witness I can hardly imagine what you all go through when you begin opening your eyes to the truth about the organization. I could just feel your anxiety before you knew your husband would support you. My heart goes out to Watchtower members who are waking up, and the horrible emotional roller-coaster ride that it is. Thanks for sharing your experience and, especially, the letter you got from them regarding the ridiculous overlapping generation (the first of your videos I watched).
wow, WHAT a beautiful testimony!!! ty for sharing! YAH's intent is for us to seek Him personally...OTHERWISE being in a certain religion is just a title. to develope a personal relationship in the spirit with Yahshua (Jesus) is most important. it took me 20 years to really understand this TRUTH. im so happy that you woke up. PRAYERS TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY! :-)
If the zombies left that cult and told their relatives to stay as long as they wanted then the halls would be empty. People do not want to lose their families. But the way I feel is that mother nor father will keep me in a religion and I did not believe in it. Im outta there. The family can stick it. GONE
You did well to think this Religion through and decided to quit them for good. I left 44 years ago being brought up in this Religion (which I like to call a cult). Most witnesses who attend the meetings are not allowed to question what comes up in the Watchtower. I was told these are Gods servants so we must not question them. This is like an extreme form of brain washing I like you dear lady would question anything revealed by the Watchtower and too many times they did not make sense. So I moved out of the area because all my friends and associates were witnesses and made a new start. That was the best move of my life. I have never regretted it. It can be hard to start with because you are making new friends and your whole method of thinking has to change. Even now some of my sisters are still witnesses and would like me to return but I never will. I encourage all witnesses who have doubts about this cult to follow through on your conscience and quit you will never regret it.
Your sincerity adds great weight to each of your words. The payoff for the misery the JWs bring to kids is more misery as adults. They teach you to fear anything that will allow you to develop your talents. And why? Thanks for the video. I hope you and your family have a terrific life.
This is why we must all think seriously about religion, God, and the after life. Someone I once knew made this statement "There are no atheists in foxholes." He was a veteran with wartime experience on the front line. What this meme is meant to express is that it is easy to be an atheist when you are not being immediately confronted with your own mortality and the with the frailty of your own human life. Likewise, it is easy to believe lies when they make you feel secure.... but you only know for sure if you believe them when you receive a terminal cancer diagnosis, or when you have only a few minutes left to live on the emergency room table. Sometimes death happens so suddenly there is no time to reflect at all. So.... do you really believe you'll be coming back to live on a paradise earth one day after you die? Do you really have peace with turning to dust and being a feast for the worms? Not many JWs can really honestly answer such questions.
Good video.Thank You..I must say, you have come so far..I noticed you look more at ease in your newer videos and you also look like you have lost some weight.Not that you were heavy by any means, but, your face has gotten thinner..Best to ya..You look great and keep up the informative videos
Great testimony! I also left a religion and began searching for the real truth. Check out 119 ministries on CZcams. Bible study without any influence of religion. The Sunburned or Lost Sheep video is a good place to begin. Blessings!!
in my opinion is to research the bible starting with who most of heard about all our life God and Jesus. Then look intonthe birth of Jesus. Who was his family, mother and father etc. What is significant about Jesus why is he the one we all speak of throughout life and history. Knowing how life is naturally did he have enemies as we do a wife what did he eat etc. Where did he come from meaning country, what was his nationality. What was his purpose his why is he soo great. Did everyone like him or love him or believe in him. When did he die and how. Now that he's gone what shall we do now, what instructions did he leave for us to follow to be great as him far as being sinless. What about the rest of his family brothers cousins etc. What information written or told can we find out about this. This shall answer any questions to me I think anyone should seek to find out to get true religion. Since the gospels been heard around the world others may have pictures experiences knowledge of him and his family and anything related to his existence. Throughout time in many lands kings and rulers trials and tribulations there are historical artifacts you can go back and see today if permitted. Beware there are many liars who claim to have the only true knowledge of him so they attrack many ears if you can read between the lines you'll know the truth for yourself and you can be a true believer and not belong to any group or organization just to obtain knowledge of this divine guidance for humanity. When we label ourselves as THE ONLY and form biased opinions about him his purpose his family and instructions then we form a box that noone else can enter without some type of initiation process. If the gospel is public knowledge why hide it. See if you read alone maybe 2 or 3 with common similar interest you have now formed a church it doesn't have to be a building or a hall. The whole matter of it all is to be as sinless as possible according to biblical laws which are in life good eating good teaching good living, anything opposite of that is death bad teaching bad eating bad living. Some in life have no care for this you can offer knowledge if not leave them be. Its not your job to force feed knowledge but to merely offer a healthy way of life and who doesn't want that. Jesus did have one overall purpose and that was to follow his bloodline family the 12 tribes and they will lead the way in this way of life. Now if I'm wrong minus a couple details thats pretty much it rite bottom line follow the laws keep the commandments and live what else is there.
I think you can consider it the brightest moment in your life and a new start for you really...because you will now have a chance to really know Jesus. Many find the bombshells discouraging, or feel under attack when introduced to truths, and you will begin to understand the deep damage done to MANY..so so few manage to break free, and actually find spiritual balance. It's so great you managed as a couple, because yes..I think you may have been crushed to do that alone so consider that an intervention of the Lord itself just for starters. It's a fantastically huge topic, but I can suggest to anyone that really wants to broaden their understanding or find good direction into the deepness of the matter to search 'Jason Zelda' - Hidden from JW's series. In these times, where ALL denominations have all been infiltrated by satan, it is imperative to study the Word well, and be very astute and aware in many things. Some find discouragements all too great and fall away totally, so its really a sensitive matter, but I think if you study the information presented, it will help you, and others to have a really expanded understanding of the depth of deception. There are some channels that tend to pit one denomination against another, in an attempt to prove a 'denomination' or specific 'doctrine' right..and this is useless and more destructive.. I can comfortably say that the Jason Zelda channel will be very inspirational and informative for you. Say your prayers, and the Lord will light your way further.
look if u are NOT sighing and groaning over ALL the detestable things going on in these last days then YES Its VERY possible to be MORE happy in the world than in being a FAITHFUL and LOYAL jw basically ALL this woman did when she had this now INfamous conversation with her husband is TELL God himself and ALL the rest of us LOYAL JWs that HER life and happiness ......................................... ARE MORE ! .......................................... IMPORTANT ! than LIVING UP TO her baptism vows ! p.s. ever heard of the scripture that talks about SUFFERING For righteousness sake ! I AM H.E.AVENly EYES ! ! !

I hope your wife will do her own research and wake up as well. Enjoy your freedom.
I admire you for following your convictions and now you've given your children the precious gift of freethought.
Thanks for sharing. it just shows how the corporation can insert themselves between the sacred bond of man and wife and family.
I'm enjoying your videos! Very good to see others are waking up :)
yes it must be difficult to come out alone,I was also lucky ,my husband and I woke up together,enjoy your videos BLESSINGS
+Tony McGurk I'm sorry you are going through it alone. Be patient with her , just as it takes time to slowly get into the religion , getting out for some takes time as well. Leak out a tiny bit at a time to her. Just as a pioneer once told me about getting into the religion and their beliefs "inch by inch it's a cinch , yard by yard , it's hard" , so a fact or two here and there may be what it takes for some. For me back in April of this year , it was learning about the two witness rule , child molestation , and the so called congregation shunning me when was going through depression , got down to 97 lbs , and they avoided me like I had leprosy! Three "worldly people " is who kept me going no thanks to the watchtower babble and crap society as Kim and Mikey call them.
No child needs all the negativity and fear based feelings of guilt. You’ll never be good enough. You are a wise woman.

I feel that way about my child I can't bring him up in this without his choice really not fair

+Joseph Fenty thank you so much!

I'm glad your story has a happy ending. Congratulations on your freedom.
You are such a courageous lady! Having survived the same cult, I know a little of how you felt! Well done!
Thanks for your video. I’ve now subscribed to your CZcams channel from Ireland.
