we could fill in a stadium of ex jws
Oh wow! Deborah White used to be in my old congregation in Sydney! She was so zealous at the time, but always nice! Good for her!
Tomorrow my big day with elders I'm leaving jws.
The difference between a religion and a cult is what happens when you leave if you are a baptised member, or more to the point what happens if you research your religion and don't wish to return after voicing your concerns.
So true ! Anyone wanting to get out, just do it! I left when I was 17, felt like a weight had been lifted!
Love it! Feels
I truly enjoyed this series of videos, thank you for putting it out there. And thank each member of the panel for sharing their stories.
I loved this!!!!!!!! It is sooooooo spot on! My Father became a Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1953, his Mother in 1926!!!!!!!! I had ‘doubts’ for many many years but because of knowing being a doubter was turning from Jehovah, it took me awhile. I am an EX. Everything being said is so true 👍
We want more videos, hopefully in spanish. In Africa and in América ( Colombia, México, Argentina Jamaica, Perú, Costa Rica, Dominican Rep, etc, etc, are also América) the grip of the WatchTower is strong, real strong, the fear is absolute.
Thank you guys. More is to be done. It's a great start.
HAHAHA!!!! so true about the answering at the meetings, repeating the WT back in your own words
I used to be a Jehovah's witnesses. it's a religion that tears family's apart and isolates them from any "wordly" contact meaning you are to have no friends that aren't also in the religion leaving you utterly alone of you leave making it feel like a life ending decision weather to leave or stay, disfellowshiping a person leaving them without any friends or family leaving them exposed to a world that they make seem terrifying and is out to get you is so unbelievably wrong it takes a person years to recover from the trauma, I know because my family hasn't spoken to me in three years, because I had sex before marriage now even if that something you believe is wrong should i have to be shunned by my entire family and all of my friends? I am lucky that I had other ex Jehovah's witnesses to help guide me and the man o had sex with before marriage is now my husband and I can't begin to describe our love and how happy I am and how incredibly free i feel now

holy shit. this is fantastic. glad i found this!
Amazing! Thanks so much...to this great panel...for sharing this and being funny and insightful.
I know with Cora & Marc (the lovely couple) they were told to stay away from each other because she wasn’t “spiritually” divorced only legally. Even though everyone knew by this point that her ex husband had a new girlfriend she couldn’t “prove” his “infidelity” (aka moving on, because they were legally divorced). Their story is on CZcams go watch it! 🙂
Thank you Deborah, Terri, Marc, Cora, Lydia and Nick.
What a great video .I’ve been out too since 1997 and it’s now 2023 and I’ve only just woken up .I was never baptised but my main guy I work with is disfellowshipped and breaks my heart how Caring and compassionate and humble this guy is and is treated like dog shit on his family’s shoe .has really made me think about my position when it comes to these extremest cult followers ( my family ) .you just get to the point when u get sick of making excuses for them .
I love to see people on a journey to freedom and understanding. It’s world wide exodus from false religion and spiritual abuse! If there is a spirit it is fully able to make itself known and teach you. With you on the journey everyone!!!
This was GREAT!
