- Tristan grew up in the religious denomination of the Jehovah's Witnesses and had a happy childhood. Early in life he realized what he learned in school and read in books didn’t match the cult teachings. By traveling to different countries and meeting other people he managed to find mental freedom and happiness.

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I so agreed with Tristan’s observations about the limitations on meaningful conversations with JWs. With my Mom (PIMI), if you start to have a “real” or meaningful conversation around philosophy, politics, environmental concerns; the conversation comes to an abrupt halt with her go to line, “Well, WE know what’s going to happen. WE don’t need to think about this or worry like the world.” That bringing a screeching halt to the conversation, to the exchange of ideas. It’s sad to see people limit their thinking and conversations. And then they turn around and do it to their children. Congrats to the ones who break free like yourself.
You wanna help with the book about it?
Help choose the quotes!
Happy New Year
Funny, cause I always thought my mom knew I was a PIMO
She helped me studying and travelling, not knowng when I was gonna leave
"The Truth"
He’s quite a character! I am glad you discussed both sides and honestly- also accurate in so many aspects! Cracked me up- in 1960s I was that little girl being raised going to 3 times a week meetings. 😂I didn’t mind 1-hour “Bible” study on Tuesday night but I hated Thursday night meeting! In NYCity in 1960s I told my parents at age 9,”l hate Thursdays. I hate Thursday night meetings. It rains every Thursday.”
I stuck with “it” for another 40ish years. Got screwed by the JW divorce rules. 😢
Thank you for your interview, always interesting to listen to people who have different life experience 👍 I was baptised when I was 16 and left when I was 52 . I am 64 today and I am so glad I am out of control 😁 and I also am an agnostic atheist. It is great to here stories from Europe, I live in Sweden, but am from Norway.
Great interview. Your laughter is infectious. Thank you both for taking the time and thank you Tristan for sharing your story.
As long as I can make people smile....
I’ve enjoyed the banter between 2 buddies!! I can definitely relate with points that Tristan brought up! Ruben, your interviewing skills are point on!! ♥️.
Haha thank you so much Marie-Claire! Tristan is very difficult to interview 😉 (sorry not sorry Tristan)
True, nice analysis of our youth! X
Wonderful conversation between two friends; explaining their particular backgrounds, but also articulating what they believe now, why they hold new perspectives to understanding the known and the unknown; agnostic/atheism, as an example.
Haha i like Tristan man....hed keep laughing in everything ....how he do that ?
i wanna laugh like this in this lockdown of pandemic 😂😂😂😂
I can teach you.... but it's quite a bumpy road... Bob Marley: Three Little Birds and Monty Python: Always look on the bright side of Life (great help).
@@tristansnijder7382 Interesting life you have lived. Enjoyed this video. I like surrounding myself with people who can converse on many topics. Not just the same old song and dance. I enjoy light conversations as well as deep thinkers too. Life is not meant to be boring! Some people are content to listen to themselves. People can learn from listening to others. Bob Marley/3 Little Birds-fantastic song. Hope to hear more stories from your life. My daughter is fluent in German but I only know a few words. Denker
@@beverlyharward9631 I would love to get in contact. I'm serrounding me now with people who wanna undedstand and read.
i need cross-readers.
I felt like I was in book/ coffee shop with both of you . I relate to a lot of this . Great sense of humour Tristan has . Great interview . Greetings from Australia , 💐I have a Dutch friend here I grew up with too, still great friends
Happy you could appreciate the interview Susanne!
Thank you for this interview in English ..although I'm Scottish we are so bad at languages
Maybe you can teach me some more Gealic... I would love that! Great language
Thank you for sharing the great interview
Great! Nice to see new perspectives on Tristan’s story. Keep doing the good work Ruben 🤟
First time I hear an (Dutch) exjw talk freely about using cannabis as a medicine. And, as I see it, in a way it has set you (more) free. I hardly watch any exjw testimonials anymore these days but I liked this interview a lot. I like how you always managed to somehow stay true to yourself.
Thank you for the comment, hope to release other content soon. Constructive content, focused more on moving on, strategies to be successful and potential pitfalls.
Great interview very relaxing and funny 😄. Thanks for sharing!
Happy you’ve enjoyed it! You’re welcome 🙏🏼
@@OutOfControl587 Converstion between friends! What I was ttrying to explain!!!!
All I can say is a fantastic interview!!
Thank you Patricia! 🙏🏼
through research and right knowledge you will become free
A whise man probably said! 😉
Great job bro from philippines apostate
Thx bro!
@@OutOfControl587 How is life as an Freedomminder nowadays on the Philipenes? It's hard to keep tracking all the globe! I like inside news. Too many channels and papers to follow.
Very good. I appreciate the time you both took to do the video.
Thanks
Nice!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Lovely video's you create
@@tristansnijder7382 Thank you! 🤗. Good to know you enjoy my channel.
Gaat het goed met jou?
New interviews coming?
Komen er nog nieuwe interviews?
All well, new things coming up soon!
@@OutOfControl587 duurt lang 🤪
I just clicked on the video 😁I’m excited to get into it!
Edit: I’m being distracted by two very handsome men 😍
Trying to make me blush????
@@tristansnijder7382 doesn’t it feel good to be free? That organization stole almost 40 years of my life. I hope those 8 men in New York go to prison for all the lives they have destroyed!
@@krissykatportal That's why I am so happy. Bussy writing a book about it. Analysing the whole systhem Excuse my English, too many languages in my head. Evading the systems you live in and how to use the system in stead of suffering it..
Need more people around me who get this. That's why adjusted my story. Ruben said: This is totally different story compared to the Duth interview. I said: Different audience and different approach!
@@tristansnijder7382 I love it. How many languages do you speak? I just started learning Russian. It’s difficult 😫
May i ask if dutch use english frequently in daily lives?
Yes we do. We watch subtitled movies and study books are often in English, so we get a lot of practice.
I must add that both Tristan and I agree that our English usually is a lot better than during this interview 🙈
@@OutOfControl587 True. A lot of what I studied at University used to be in English.
There is an “evil slave” in charge. (Matt 24:48-51) He “beats the other slaves” and gets some to follow. (Luke 12:45-48) Upon seeIng this, Jesus orders us to leave and head for the mountains. (Matt 24:15) He says “let the reader use discernment” not listen to a “faithful slave.” Jesus is aware of what is going on.
Nicely written
Do read a new book - DOOMSDAY DECEPTION, the Rise & Fall of the Watchtower Society, which takes the lid of the WT., and walk away in confidence having reclaimed your individuality and freedom.
Don't have time to read all the books. Send me a paper or a talk. Too many books I'm busy with right now
Interesting that you say the Revelation is 'horribly' translated from English to Dutch. They always boasted about their translation skills and this makes me wonder if people think the same about the other languages they have translated between.
😂😂😂❤️❤️
As for love....it is pure self love if you only "love" ( word) others to get a free ticket to heaven.
As far as i know every language only has one main word for love.
Nonsense and even insulting to call dutch "a poor language" .
Voor zover ik weet heeft iedere taal voornamelijk maar één woord voor liefde.
Sowieso onzin om de Nederlandse taal beperkt te noemen.
Nederlands is bijvoorbeeld (samen met het Vlaams en het Zuid Afrikaans, van Nederlandse oorsprong) de enige taal die vrijwel ieder woord kan verkleinen door er -tje achter te zetten. Een liefdetje 😂 En een godje ook wel 😂.
Kom eens langs in Arnhem
Omdat?
@@tristansnijder7382 Als Ex JW behoud ik geloof in Jehowah God. Ook ondersteun ik Henry Dahlem en zijn stichting tegen shunning.
Vind het jammer hoe weinig ex JW's geloof tonen als ze uit de organisatie zijn. U kan mij vinden onder mijn naam wie ik ben. Welkom
@@willibrordusa.vanderweide2962 U? Niet overdrijven he! Ik wil best afspreken als ik in de buurt ben. Als we maar geen theist/atheist gesprek gaan hebben. Ik ken genoeg mensen die nog geloven. En we gaan samen volgend jaar naar Vaticaanstad om kerken te bekijken. Ondanks dat ik niet in God geloof ben ik dol op Theistische architectuur. Ik ben wel gefascineerd door wat mensen hebben gemaakt uit liefde voor God.
In ieder geval bedankt voor de uitnodiging.
why dont Jehovah`s Witnesses just teach the Bible as it is like scholars do rather than a controlling slant
Great question? X
In a very real way, this is like asking why parents don't allow their children around pedophiles and instead just teach them that it's bad. The lies of the world are very seductive, comforting, and even entertaining. You see the pied piper traveling along with thousands of children behind him- do you let your child run off and get in line?
Because power and money
@@gentilimusic3804at this point, my metric is whether or not they're promoting a certain risky medical procedure. if NOT, they're probably on the right path.
I am HAPPY too!
.
Luke 6:22-23
HAPPY are YOU whenever men hate YOU, and whenever they exclude YOU and reproach YOU and cast out YOUR name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man. 23 Rejoice in that day
.
[Name of person] is no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses ---->> cast out YOUR NAME
.
What Jesus Christ said would happen, is really happening!
.

Good story, nice and short
@@OutOfControl587 I can make it longer with an end time prophecy that can only be fulfilled by Jehovah's Witnesses:
.
Isaiah 66:5
Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.”
.
{Name of person] is no longer one of JEHOVAH's Witnesses ----->> excluding YOU by reason of MY NAME
.
It has been in every Christians Bible for 2000 years and is now being fulfilled in exquisite detail.
.
What the bible said would happen, is now really happening!
.
I'm HAPPY!

Out Of Control ONE TRUE RELIGION
It is only logical that there would be one true religion. This is in harmony with the fact that the true God is a God, "not of disorder, but of peace." (1 Corinthians 14:33) The Bible says that actually there is only "one faith." (Ephesians 4:5) Who, then, are the ones who form the body of true worshipers today?
We do not hesitate to say that they are Jehovah's Witnesses.
Have fun with o\your one True God. I wish you well.
God between your ears. Self hypnosis....it works.
But did you read what was written in Ruben 1:1? "Don't believe any human being claiming to know anything about what any higher power would want from humans. Or, claiming to know for sure there is such thing as a higher power."
We can clearly see that the book of Ruben says 'don't believe ANY human'. Who, then , must we believe?
We do not hesitate to say that absolutely no person is able to know or prove anything.
@@OutOfControl587 Dude! My Ribs, don't make me laugh like this
U guys are goobers I left behind witnessing no one shunned me or treated me badly. They were and still are my freinds. Struggling to leave oh may! Get a life.
In what parallel universe did this take place? And, did you even watch the whole video or do you just type this nonsense in the comment section of every exjw video you encounter?
Thanks mate. Love you too. I always loved the movies The Goonies and Willow. I relate to that
@@OutOfControl587 I think he is talking about fading I guess, dunno..... Fading is easy, taking a stand is a different story....
@@OutOfControl587 A moat is a deep, broad ditch, either dry or filled with water, that is dug and surrounds a castle, fortification, building or town, historically to provide it with a preliminary line of defence. Funny, sounds familiar...
Really? While I just faded away 25 years ago my half brother still shuns me. 4 years ago I called to tell him our brother had died and he said don't contact him again. "Friends" I had for decades do not talk to me. Not one person even called or came by to try and see why I left. Each congregation and city is different.
