  • Real stories, told by real people.
    It's about the Human experience. And the stories shared on this channel, come from all walks of life. They include struggle, pain, and challenges. Abuse, addiction, and trauma. There reminders to any of you in a bad spot right now. That you're not alone, and things can change.
    One of these stories today comes from F.S. Raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but it even started sooner for him - "my indoctrination started before I was born", mentioning how his mother would listen to tapes of sermons and doctrines while pregnant. A common and encouraged practice amongst JW's.
    F.S. talks about his childhood, and the teachings perpetuated by the elders, "prophets" and other members of the church that traumatized him. This constant talk of Armageddon is soon to come, and the end is near. How damaging to the psyche of a child can that be? - "It made me suicidal big time, as a child, the first suicidal thought I had, was at 10 years old." He wasn't the only one. Sadly, he knew of others that did take their lives who were raised under similar conditions. In detail, F.S. also breaks down a lot of the scandals, abuse cases (past and present), and other practices/beliefs that have cost the lives of thousands. Including the refusal of organ transplants and blood transfusions.
    Just recently (a couple years ago) he separated himself from the organization, and because of it, lost everything. He was shunned. Family, friends, and ultimately the world as he knew it, gone. That's his reason for wanting to share his story. Fueled with a righteous anger, and a passion to bring awareness to what's been going on under the guise of 'religion'. F.S. calls it a cult. After listening to his story, I'll let you come to your own conclusions.
    Your thoughts are welcome below.
    How do you feel, about it, is this a cult or religion?
    'Til next time
    and very soon,
    PEACE!!

    Well, I just have to say I'm glad this video popped up in my feed. I was born in, and like F.S. realized at a young age that I'd never make it through Armageddon. Thanks, watchtower, for a lifelong sense of dread and chronic depression. Fortunately I got into therapy asap after leaving. One last thing since this interview really touched me: if anyone doubts any of what the guest shared here I can assure you it's all true without a shred of exaggeration. It is an evil, evil cult.

      I'm happy you enjoyed his story, he doesn't have a channel though. About the links being 'canelled', that's how CZcams goes for new channels. Unless you wanna do all that silly online ID verification (which I don't) to fast track its process, you have to wait 2 months in order to have hyperlinks available. From my understanding.
      So, until then, you can still do it the old fashioned way. Copy the links which aren't hyperlinks, and past them into your search engine, and Viola!!

    Thank you for this channel and information. I recently got out of the Brighamite LDS cult and find that there are so many similarities between the two cults. Same playbook. It's been almost a year, and ironically the only people who visit me each week are JWs. Sadly, i doubt they are aware of these things since they aren't allowed to do their own research. But i can! And maybe it'll help them? In our discussions i bring up things the BLDS church does or says that they hear from the WT, too... maybe they'll make connections? Lessons from a manual drive me nuts, though! That's what the cult i left does too. Philosophies of men mingled with scripture. Just the scriptures, please!

    WARNING....!!!!
    There are six things that Jehovah does hate, yes, seven are things detestable to his soul, lofty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that are shedding innocent blood, a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness, a false witness that launches forth lies, and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers. (Proverbs 6:16-19)
    Hope you checked out these stories for truthfulness......
