The cult causes so much division in families friends and community 😭😭😭 So sorry for your loss.
Stay strong , I was born and raised a jehovah witness. My best friends dad was a elder, I left at 16 my mom said if I was not going to go to be a Jehovah witness I could not live in her home , I was forced to leave school and go to work , I was eventually put on independent living by a judge , nobody would talk to me , I had no friends or family turn to, it’s hard at first but you will make it , I no longer live in Wisconsin, m happy and married , my siblings eventually left as well, my wife finally got me to walk into a church a little over a year ago. We go to a non denominational Christian church, we’re they only speak on the bible, if I t doesn’t speak on it We don’t speak about it. We do a lot with the church and are raising 2 adopted kids in not only the church but in Christ as well.. I’m 49 now things get better, my ex best friend reached out to me lately and now wants to have a friendship he is still in deep. I’m happy so I don’t see the need to over share my life with …. Hang in there bud. Keep up the struggle for your son. God will be by your side thru it all..
Fear, Obligation, and Guilt is what you are feeling.

Vontae dont wait until he’s older. Teach him NOW!
Take your time, bro.my ex-wife blocks me and my daughter regardless of the court order, but she is still knocking on people doors. Keep showing your son love and how to think for himself, and he will be good. It's a great life when you think from yourself, black man.
Thanks bro 🙌🏾🤙🏾
Vontae!! It's great to see you. I am so sorry for the heartbreak and loss you have gone through these past months. Hang in there, brother. Thanks for sharing your update. Everything will be fine. Carry on with therapy, praying, and growing a new social circle. I will pray for you, your son, and your mom. Please give her a hug and share my condolences.
Sending warth and love from South Africa ❤
Thank you
Thank you so much
Ephesians 6:12
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Keep going, bro. Be on your grind. Think about volunteering at food kitchens. Way to go with Therapy that's very important
Sorry for your loss, keep praying for her, you’re both in my prayers.
Thank you for sharing & I'm sorry for what you've gone through. Talk to other ex-members & start teaching ur son now. I was 3rd gen JW & raised my son as one & see how his early teachings affected him, as he is still not willing to go to my non-denom church with me. Keep praying & reach out to community. That's the best advice i can give. Blessings
Ive been fottowing your story and im praying with you and for your son. Trust God
Don't wait to teach your son about the true God and the true Jesus. Help him to understand to trust the Bible early on. If you only let him go to the hall, you will have a hard time undoing whatever she's exposing him to. The Bible says to train them up in the way they go, and they will not depart from it. I understand you want him to have a choice, but he can make that choice later even with you teaching him. Plant seeds at every chance you get!!!
Amen.
Proverbs 22:6
the true GOD AND REAL JESUS - acc to the Bible.
WHO IS OVER ALL? Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. GOD and FATHER is OVER/ABOVE ALL and that "All" includes the SON so they are NOT EQUAL
THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE
From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5
Isa 9:6 the word Prince in the Prince of Peace means PATRON ANGEL also Leader. WHO IS the ONE LEADER that we have? Jesus. Now, that same exact Hebrew word was used for Daniel 12:1 which is used for Michael the Archangel. So are you saying there are MANY LEADERS now?
If GOD is three persons and all are named JEHOVAH, and if you see them in front of you, count one by one, how MANY JEHOVAH do you see? that is THREE JEHOVAH, and Deut 6:4 says JEHOVAH IS ONE JEHOVAH. and THAT IS NOT THREE JEHOVAH
@@Mr.DC3.1914Adam and Eve are one flesh yet they are separate. The Bible calls Eve, Adam. So doesn’t that make them two not one flesh?
@@lshed28 Eve is NOT ADAM, so you think Adam is married to another Adam. o my
GREAT VIDEO/INTERVIEW...HANG IN THERE BRO.....GLAD YOU HAVE FAMILY TO BUFFER THE PAIN SOMEWHAT. HERE FOR YOU IF YOU NEED...... FOR REAL FOR REAL....
Great share.
So many of the same feelings….thank you
Amen !!!!
Is there a way to contact Vontae? Just to say hello and let him know thatI was at that International convention at Ford Field as well, a the meetings at Belleville. I would like lie to say hello. I appreciate this interview. Thanks. I appreciate all of your videos. I do refer to those who are not witnesses as “worldly “ any more. That’s degrading fro the witness point of view. Free since 2021 here.
Best way to contact him would be through his instagram which I put in the description.
God defines what love is not humanoids for God is love.
💔
More proof that the love that jehovah's witnesses have for each other is paper-thin
Such hypocrisy.......she leaves because you aren't according to The Org, following the scriptures. Yet the bible says divorce only on the grounds of fornication.
we don't know the full story. JW wives are not taught to separate from their husbands unless they in danger and that's different from divorce
It's true. We just have one side of the story.
But are you saying that JW's Org is ok when a husband (Ex JW's) is clearly against there religion and are trying to wake up his wife?
For them that's definition of "danger". And again that's not in the Scriptures.
@@Adlinavi. it is NOT WAKING up , when an exJW LIES about JWs, he was blinded
@@Mr.DC3.1914 you are correct in fact the wives of jw men are told they should not divorce husbands who have great affection for animals. aint that a hoot Mr DC3?
@@tina-xu7nf are you high?
Try Jesus and a relationship with him your happiness is everything to the true God
The Trinity Troll comes out from under the bridge quick! 🤣
I vote we all ignore him. Maybe he'll get tired and just go away. After all, we've seen (over and over) what he's going to say.
No no no. His comments, while repetitive and absurd, help engagement, therefor helps the algorithm, so it reaches more people, and now the message goes to a wider audience. His comments are helping spread the message. We should thank him.

Isaiah 43:3
For I am Jehovah your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
Isa 60:16 - And you will certainly know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior, And the Powerful One of Jacob is your Repurchaser.
What did GOD do? he RAISED or BROUGHT a savior, Jesus.
Acts 13:23 - God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus
So the MAIN SOURCE OF SALVATION IS JEHOVAH, and he brought or raised and sent a savior Jesus the Lamb
That's why in Rev 7:9-10, there are TWO, GOD AND THE LAMB. SEPARATE PERSONS. You think GOD the Father IS THE LAMB? Nope, the SON is the Lamb not the Father

A person cannot keep a job and tell the boss you will do the job based on your terms and keep that job. You cannot serve God and expect His favor based on your terms.
Please go away and stop being a troll. Show some compassion and stop being a dickhead Brethren Lee.
If GOD is three persons and all are named JEHOVAH, and if you see them in front of you, count one by one, how MANY JEHOVAH do you see? that is THREE JEHOVAH, and Deut 6:4 says JEHOVAH IS ONE JEHOVAH. and THAT IS NOT THREE JEHOVAH
Don’t celebrate holidays it’s what a lot of Christians mistakenly do. Don’t lie to your children about Santa or the Easter Bunny because at the end of the day it’s all pagan. Instead celebrate Christ on these days, give thanks for each birthday unto the LORD.
Paganism and worldliness is everywhere, which is why we have to (be intentional) about honoring and giving thanks to Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior, especially on holidays and celebrations.
Colossians 3:17
“And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him”
I have a question: that means that we can also celebrate Ramadan, and instead of allah we should honor, celebrate and focus on Jesus?
@@Adlinavi.
Repent and trust Jesus Christ for your salvation not Allah. This channel doesn’t worship Allah we worship Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus is the ONE and ONLY true GOD. Repent and place your faith in Jesus Christ not in celebrations, traditions of men like Ramadan, works and good deeds.
Receive the gift of faith which is Jesus’s righteousness exchange for your, past, present and future sins, by turning from sin and trusting in Jesus Christ for eternal life.
Romans 10:9-10🙏💕
Christmas is Christian.
@@NewCreationInChrist896
I think you didn't understand me. I just made a question. Why should i repent of a question?
@@misterauctor7353 The fact that they give a Christian name does not mean is of God.
If they change the name of Ramadan to something "christian like" would you celebrate?

The Lamb is the atonement that allows for our salvation, so the MAIN SOURCE of SALVATION is Jesus!
@@sam_tate WHO SENT THE SON to be Savior? GOD himself. And Jesus was GIVEN LIFE to give life and to save. JOHN 5:26. so the MAIN SOURCE OF LIFE IS GOD, and He is the MAIN SOURCE OF SALVATION
For the Israelites ,the Hebrew god of war
@Mr.DC3.1914 Jesus was NOT CREATED, nor was he given life. He is the creator of all life.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being." JOHN 1:1-3
@@sam_tate John 1 actually uses the Greek word DIA which means A CHANNEL OF AN ACT, so GOD used Jesus as a channel in the act of creation. Yes, Jesus was GIVEN LIFE, John 5:26, see the original Greek word and what it means

You are not helping him with this. Please do your research.. that’s all I’m going to say. I’m praying for you as well.

Sad they don’t know the English version of Yah is I am. They don’t research to see there are many corrupt versions, NWT is one of many. Son is also a title, it doesn’t change the fact that Jesus is GOD.
Colossians 1
Revelation 1:8
“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
Exodus 3:13-14
“Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”
“God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’ ”
