@deci478 they got you twisted in the head thats what they do divide and separate familues causing them to hate each other in the name of that sick cult jehovah witness they are disgusting they are already turning you against your mom so sad!!
CST, you are not apostate, you are not wicked, you are a beloved child of God. You have to start your life from a clean sheet. Please forget your past, JW are destroying families and killing people. DO NOT HOVER ON THAT. Start new friendships. Shop for another religion, but make your homework. Remember, God loves you.
they wont tell you to be like them.... they always leave you with a choice... i know because i've done some studying with them... and it help me a lot... stop being a liar...because it wont help you...
liar.... i've been studying with them... and they are not that kind of people... im 18... my mom is sometimes opposing what i am doing... but i continue because i know... that above all,.. you should love Jehovah god. if you do not know how to make sacrifices dont hate those who knows how,... they are really nice people.... they are the only ones that accepted me despite what ive done... if i would be your mom,.. i would be ashame too of what ur doing...couldnt blame her though...
Just keep walking man...walk with your head up. You aren't forgotten. I wont tell you to be a Jew or a Christian or a Buddhist or Muslim...Just keep walking, and please dont close your heart...seems like you have a good one. Know that one day...you'll just know. I'm praying for you tonight.
My wife deals with the same thing bro. Her mom and dad, two sisters and brother have basically no contact with her. I've met them all and they are all incredibly nice people but their religion has ruined the relationship that they used to have with their daughter/sister. Humbly my prayers are for your mom and for you.
This is extremely sad that your mother would cut you off from her life. Makes me very sad. And I am sure that if the JWs would conquer the world they would eventually use means of forceful coercion towards people. Which would go straight against their own initial beliefs.
I pray your mother see's this. It is amazing that she allows a religious body to dictate her family relationships. I pray she gains a backbone and stop placing religion in front of her son. Sorry to hear that, but keep on loving her and praying for her
@cofa20 if this kind of boy would be my son.... i'd rather walk without a backbone than to tell the world that a miserable goat came out of my wound...
I used to be a JW. I left after 2 years as I decided it was not a God I knew. My God was love and peace, and I could not not relate to a God of 'excessive discipline'. This talk of wrath etc was confusing to me. However 10 years later, I get it. I committed sinful behaviour that could now by life threatening. I completely understand the need for 'house rules'. Though you don't get the reason for rules, don't rebel. A child don't get why his dad removes the matches it's playin with either
What kind of evil religeon would make a mother deny her very own child? I mean cane you imagine your very own mother not wanting anything to do with you ever again, never to speak or see you? OR can you imagine you yourself never seeing or speaking to your mother ever again? How evil, how utterly twisted and evil!
You're strong and courageous. Glad that you found yourself a sweetheart. She's blessed to have found you.
Remember, GOD loves you anyway. He has His eye upon you, so please do not give up on Him and His Son YESHUA, the Jewish Messiah. GOD understands what you had to go through and will show you compassion for the days ahead. GOD did not fabricate any religion other than Judaism thru Abraham...and even they have been purposely blinded for 2000 yrs. It's changing though..keep the faith!
You said, "Judaism thru Abraham", once again highlighting the Jewish race!
If you confess Judaism as your religion, listen to the Jew Paul:
"you are not under the law, but under grace", Rom 6:14. YOU ARE NOT UNDER LAW! !
The law Paul mentioned clearly is the law of Moses. It lead us to Christ, and having served its purpose it is now DEAD as a form of worship in God's eyes.
why is everyone being so negative to you. especially behind a computer? honestly if you are a witnesses and you are posting negative comments to someone else opinion what does that really say bout you?... just a thought CS love the posts it them coming.
Well done, but wash your dirty hair then comb it. You don't have to be a JW to do that. Besides ... you are drinking a lot of water [hopefully that isn't whisky], so you should go to a doctor and check for diabetes.
@tommotian You can call it friendly advice, and you might have meant it that way, but you come off as an asshole. That is how I liked my hair back then, there was nothing dirty about it, it simply isn't your damn style. So everyone should adopt the kind of hairstyle you like?
@tommotian I'm not sure why you fucktards think I drink a lot. You can watch a few video's in succession and it looks like I am drinking one beer after another. However here is an amazing fact, these videos were made weeks apart. The truth is I had a beer on camera because it relaxed me, not the minute alcohol in a beer or two but just the act of drinking a beer while talking. If I come off as harsh it is because I get the same pointless ad hominem comments all the time.
@tommotian P.S. You forgot to call me fat. The diabetes jab was clever though, at least that was original. You will have to try harder if you want me to feel insulted. Just "friendly advice" ;-)
@tommotian : You're a nasty Catholic man...get a life and acquaint yourself with the Jewish Messiah Yeshua.
I see that you're sort of religious,but a Pharisee. Try and develop the Fruit of the Holy Spirit, against which there is no law. Read the Bible and memorize the verses. Heaven & Earth will pass away, but My Love will never pass away....said Yeshua.
I can only go by my experience with JW's & I found them an honest & decent group of persons> I am not a JW but I me many through my dad who is studying with them.
I am not sure of their doctrine but I cant fault their morality. I am Catholic & sad to say there are many I can't trust. The problem with the church is that they tolerate wrong doing. When is the last time have you seen any one excommunicated?
@sharlycupcakeMost WT members are without doubt decent and honest. One can be an Atheist and still be decent and honest. Ones religious affiliation or lack of it does not neccesarily have any bearing on ones morality. The Church does not tolerate wrongdoing. but at the same time does not stand in condemnation of anyone who is genuinely seeking to do what is right. By doing so, it follows Jesus' example when he said to the woman caught in adultery 'neither do I condem you, go and sin no more'
Also cs apos, Know what i cant stand about Jw's, Your mother right wont talk to you but she could talk to a murderer in the street. I feel sorry for you that you made a wrong choice by getting dipped in the water before leaving. I left in enough time to still talk to my mum and dad. I have lots of friends dissfellowed and there not even allowed to knock my door or come in.
I can't believe parents will resort to this, for a man made religion, that has" been around since the beginning", but created in the 1900's. I'm sorry to hear this all happening to you its wrong, and I personally believe that it creates a "spiritual murder" as jesus never taught to shun people, but to help them see the true beliefs for god. I too am an ex-witness, have more scars than I wish I had from it, and I'm only 23.
Same boat here CS, except I hate my mother and don't want to talk to her. The beatings I just can't get over. Please keep up the work, fine tuning and expanding. Your work is greatly appreciated by many of us aposates. You very well likely have already kept some from getting involved or convinced some to leave. It doesn't pay well, but it must feel good.
I feel for you man, i rly do, no one should be kicked out of their hometown and family just because they believe different things... isn't the beauty of a family unconditional love? Well atleast i thought so...
"Fuck you watch tower" I like your attitude to JW (: .I also understand your love for your mother and you should still try to keep in touch with her, I've personally never seen such a siturasion like this before. believe me, your mom also thinks about you. you have not done anything evil :) BTW sorry for my bad English, ;)
no its not that you "dont agree with what we teach" its that you go out of your way to hate us thats why youre mom doesent talk to you and if i was her i would do the same im a 14 year old boy and i can see that youre just aconfused little man
I'm so sorry, CS. I know that what you say is true, because I was a baptised, active Witness for almost fifteen years and was brought up in it from infancy. We were all taught to treat the disfellowshipped and disassociated (those who asked to be removed) as if they were nonexistant. No hello, nothing. The only exception is for minor children living in the home. Many individual Witnesses choose to secretly disregard this, but they can be repremanded for doing so.
Charles Taze Russel was a 33rd degree freemason, dont believe me check his grave site along with the letters to his masonic brothers, he was buried in a masonic cemetery with a huge pyramid labeled watch tower bible and tract society and the york rite masonic cross next to his grave, Jehovahs witnesses New world Order drones who without question preach about this new order and the mass depopulation planned by their Reptilian Anunaki God ,the true creator does not ask you to fear him/her
@andyandyband If by creator you mean the Annunaki who seeded life on this planet then yes they do want us to fear, but enlightenment is transcending fear so who ever wants you to fear is against enlightenment and supports ignorance. God is love and grace its no personality or being, just grace
If you did not know it, The Jehovah Witness People are required to record and listen to everything you write and say. they are required to record all you say for a record of you. The reason is in the end time when Joe Smith and God come back to set up the Jehovah Witnesses heaven. Your going to be out cast even there with a heaven all around you and your to be thrown into hell by Joe Smith himself. So your words are making some poor J.W.'s blood boil having to listen to you ! So GET R Done !
The fact that your mother won't talk to you shows the power of cults and their potential to harm families - the more you draw attention to their policy of family disconnection the better it is for the public.
I have the same story as you, but it was Fundamentalist christianity that ruined my family, just as bad as Jehova's brain dead morons too. I was beaten, taken to exorcisms and the whole thing, by age 8 too. So I feel the same way. I was robbed of a normal loving family by religion, hence my user name. I know the truth about Jesus too. Which disproves all religions based on him period.. 30 years of study.
Jehovah is God's name. Check dictionaries, encyclopedias, bibles (at Exodus 6:3, Isaiah 42:8, and Isaiah 54:5). Jehovah's Witnesses serve Christ Jesus our Lord. Matthew 4:17 Jesus started preaching. He told his disciples to preach in Matthew 10. Matthew 10:14 tells them to go house to house. Matthew 24:14 says the good news of the kingdom will be preached... before the end comes.
Jesus taught his disciples to make more disciples at Matthew 28:19,20,"Go therefore and make disciples..."
Like really i find this funny. Cuz its like you keep on making videos about ur ex religion and at the same time u say u dont give a crap about going "in" again.. I have one thing to say.. Get over it and grow up and leave it be! Who gives a crap about ur personal problems.. And its not a cult.. And one more thing.. They dont believe jesus is god becuz jesus is the SON of GOD! Pathethic and soo stupid!
it is so awful, i m sorry..its not ur mom u know.. i am a mom and could never do that and iwouldnt do that to my son no matter what it cant be ok.but i know that before id have done the same when i was "in"
LOL I use to be a JW. And the truth my friend is there is a lot of fear instilled into people's brains. The Witnesses are another money making machine!
Your blaming the Watch Tower? You do know all the Watch Tower does is quote the Bible and it's scriptures... And your mom probably thinks your going to compromise her faith so she dicieds to not talk to you, as well as your other old friends.
@RPintorO if you read closely, you will read about he not being a member anymore ! I will have to read more here,but i think he don't even like them anymore ! Your words "Your Organization" should have read "The Organization" would show he is not with them anymore. Also the Head Council Member of the J.W.'S stopped sending him anymore Christimas Cards !

Any Religion that would break up the Love between a son and his mother is classed as a Hate Munger Association !
Hey pal, you shouldn't rule out Christianity because of you negative experience with the JW. Besides, the JW is not a Christian religion. JW is a cult, sadly.
For "Praisejah": To all who persist in believing the Watchtower's mindnumbing teachings and persist in shunning your children -- reality is far more satisfying than what you're being spoon-fed by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Therefore, resolve in your heart to get real and get off the baby food fed you by the Watchtower. Remember that the Bible says "do not put your trust in man" (Psalms 146:3) -- that includes religious teachers. If you love life you will allow no room for malarkey.
soo so sorry cause your mom is still caught in the net of stupidity, I am proud of you and I encourage you to keep on enduring "in the world" never turning back "to the truth of the JW society.
to all who are faithfully and loyally enduring in the Christian way, we are sure that Jehovah’s truth is still beautiful, satisfying—even more so than when they first heard it. Therefore, resolve in your heart to never even touch the poison that apostates want you to sip. Heed the wise but firm commands of Jehovah to avoid completely those who would deceive you, mislead you, turn you aside into the ways of death. If we love Jehovah we will leave no room for penetration by apostate thinking.
you are sounding like your real hurt inside , but i want you to know the GOD i serve heal all pains , and he forgive , that is why he send his only begotten son so whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life , please forgive them all CST , dont judge them , repent and confess your sins for jesus is coming soon , i think where the jehovah w went wrong was believing jesus is not GOD ,
CST you sound like a great person , and GOD loves you , the bible said you must forgive your neighbors 70 x 7 , just like you would like GOD to forgive and have mercy on you , what your parents did was wrong , and the jehovah witnesses org is the problem because of their traditional practices , i don't know if they know GOD most important commandments , thou shall love the lord thy GOD with all your heart , and thou shall love your neighbor as you love yourself
You can't blame your Mom...she has been brainwashed for many many years..it isn't her fault. You can still send the cards, just don't put a return address on them or sign them. It will make you feel better. She has chosen her path, as have you and you should be proud of yourself for saving your own life. Keep up the good work and thank you for spreading the word-the truth will set you frree!!!
So sorry to hear about this, I don't know how any mother can do that to her child. I had a friend who was disfellowshipped and shunned from his entire family and all of his JW friends, it is a very cruel thing. I hope all goes well for you.
@spankMAbooTAY well idk all i know is that the two women that i study with are not like that unless they bend the rules lol other than that i know they don' t treat their children like his mother is treating him... i can't speak on the other ppl in that specific religion but really i dont have nothin against any religion cuz don't no one follow the bible as should so oh well god and i know what kind of peron i am and i continue to do right by him and don't have to prove nothin to anyone
@spankMAbooTAY no dude lol its his moms , cuz the jackson family their mother let them make their decision of leaving jw and she don't treat them any different micheal and janet and the rest of them left jw and everyone always seen mrs.jackson by their side through everything mike went through so no its his mother not jw .........thank you proved my case and i personally know a lot of ppl who left jw while their parents still continue and still speak to their children
I really, really liked this girl and she dissed me 'cause I am not a JW she said. But I really think she dissed me because she just did like me period.
Wow, you're mom is hardcore with this. I use to be a JW and I talk and see my mom daily. We just don't talk about the bible. WTF is wrong with your mom.
okay its your mother not jahovah witness lol its your mother sweety because the jackson family where raised as johavah witness and ja rule and their parents let them make the choice if they wanted to continue with their religion and they never disowned them lol so stop posting cruel thing about the organization and im a christian telling you this ...
(2/2)Both of my aunts are disfellowshipped and it is painful for both my own mother and grandma to stop associating with them. I hope you can understand.
(1/2) What Jehovah's Witnesses believe is totally bible based. No lies, no brainwashing. You guys can hate all you want but it's not helping anything. Your mother is just doing what the bible says. One example in 1 Cor 5:11 says: 'But now I am writing you to quit mixing with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such man.'
You know your all so sad and pathetic.I will say Im a jehovahs wittness.You know what this all is? A big pile of BULLSHIT!You know you guys spend so much time saying how bad jehovahs wittnesses are and go judge us all because you have a bad experience with a few jws.Judge me on how I act,not on what I choose to beleive in because in the end does it really matter?If you want the world to be better than take some iniative and help hungry kids or something and quit wasting your time bashing me.
to think those deushbags in brooklyn cause such harm to relationships. they got a hell of a suprise waiting for their deluded, self righteous, asses when the man does come back. i did a repair at one of their convention centers and the head honchos live reeeeeel good in apartments in back. i'm talking 100k worth of shit in those apts. guess the corporates always line their pockets in any company...
I am sorry that your mother is treating you this way. But you must remember that you made the first step and SHE chose not to take it. She has been brainwashed. God never told anyone to dis-communicate themselves from their own children because of a disagreement of what is taught. I am praying for you, brother.
your mom is the problem man not the organization. i lived with mom after i left and we still talked every single day about everything and anything. we talk about my gfs, me going out to bars and she doesnt judge me or anything even though shes still a jw. so yes you had a bad experience but don't spread hate. you're a hate monger
I'm truly sorry for what you have gone through in the name of 'religion'. I hope that somehow you can turn to not religion but Christ of the gospels who asks for followers to freely follow him and not an organization. It would admittedly take whole rethinking of who He really is and not as He has been portrayed to you as in this cult. This of course is your right to choose to do so or not. You are brave and rightly angry about this. May the real Jesus be revealed to you one day. :)
she didn't open yr letter? THAT'S COLD HEARTED, sorry to say it man but your family doesn't deserve u, they r INHUMAN , i know is immensely tough to break these bonds but just forget them and start yr own family.
your family doesnt make any sense i live with my gps n 4 out of 5 of their children are disfellowshiped and they r allowed 2 communicate with them n one is my dad so the problem is not with jws but with ur mom n family there are even some families who the dad isnt a jw but the mom is
I had a girlfriend who was a JW and I thought they weren't that bad. How fucking wrong was I eh? Not just from your videos, but what I have read and some of the bullshit that went on with her and her aweful religion.
If ever anyone wants to raise an army bent on destroying religion please let me know.
I live in romania and I left the Jehovah's Witnesses 11 years ago. I lost all my friends and my mother (also Jehovah's witness) was mad at me then. But since then until today I m still her daughter. We talked, we ate at the same table and we are a real family. It's horrible what happens to you. I have no words
I am from Australia, I don't know where you are from? You say untrue, well I can only go by the experience here in Australia. I have a close relative who was fellowshipped and his mother who is a JW will still converse. The only thing is that the mother will not fellowship on a spiritual level. Meaning the mother will not discuss spiritual level with the son. The son is 16 yrs of age & fellowshipped & I know for sure the mother takes care of her parental duties.
Anyone keen to start a yearly protest out front of the watchtower hq based in ny :P i live in adelaide aus but man im keen to expose these farken frauds who ruin so many lives
I got my JW mother to watch this, and all she could say was " Well you can bet he's sent his mother various messages on her phone insulting the JW's/ trying to get her out of the organization in the past so obviously that is why she no longer will even listen to anything he has to say anymore"
I'm glad I never got baptized, so my mom can't shun me. Good luck man.
That is the most tragic story I have heard, my greatest sympathies to you. I cannot even begin to express the amount of disgust I have for that cult and what it can do to cause parents to disown their own children.
b/c your mother and/or family is so mind controlled ..your next step is to be very bold
and tell her like it is , 1. learn about the j.w.'s - hint's the founder Charles taze Russell was an Illuminati member , a 33rd degree Freemason , a Zionist , his wife was connected to satanist ..ETC , do ur home work very good..take it to her face to face..make her understand..that's if you want ur family to live! b/c u have a short time before the elite brings all hell
They have been nothing but nice to me, I am a psychologist in a specialized an area of Biofeedback. They would have to be very clever to fool me, I see them as genuine & sincere
I can only go by my experience, just keep encouraging your mother to do the right thing. It seems to me you love your mother & my guess is she loves you. Meanwhile you may want to re-consider your view of the truth.
Sorry to say but it seems your mother is the problem not JW's. The fact is I know of persons in that exact same situation & they still converse with there son. They don't fellowship in the sense that they don't discuss the bible. In fact I know a sister who checks on her son regularly & from time to time but not all the time offers the son to come back.
@Vicwarren711 I'm sorry to say but the fact is I am only one of many people in my exact situation. I know many people who are shunned just as harshly as I am by their family. It is true some JW's don't take it to the degree that my mother does. But WT publications encourage their members to have "little or no contact" with dis-fellowshipped family members. And many JW's DO follow that admonition. Just because you know of a few that don't doesn't mean their isn't a serious problem with the group.
@CSTheApostate this is true and wrong i got brought up a jehovah wittness and my family are still jehovah's....... i understand how u must feel it is wicked the way they alienate you wen u leave i love my family but the way they av fort of there brothers and sisters as family instead from there true daughter is unforgivable, its gd to know there is sum1 out there who understands wot its like to av wittness family, u realli are brave
@Vicwarren711 you obviously don't know much about the jehovahs witnesses. the people in the jehovah's witness religion are taught that any person that leaves the organization will sow seeds of doubt and lead them away from the religion that they believe is saving their lives. they are told to not go after a "worldly education" meaning college or any post high school education... this may spark a brain cell and turn their drone into a thinking individual. heaven forbid...
untrue. completely untrue. i know to many ex-jws who have been completely shunned. a friend of mine was living on the street before i met up with him back in the 90's, his family disowned him. he now is educated with a degree and married and doing very well. i know a lot of people as well. the Jehovah Witnesses are a cult and this is a typical thing for cults to do. Scientology does the same thing.
@bxjesus What...so she can shun her child and that's OK??? What about his pain? You think it was easy for him to tell his story knowing what would happen? She's fine...she's in lala land with the rest of the chosen ones waiting for Armageddon which is coming soon..or in 10 years...or maybe by the year 2015 or maybe it already came and nobody told us!!!
@bxjesus - I think he's talking about his experience BECAUSE he loves his mother and doesn't want some dictatorial religion interfering in their family relationship. In earlier videos he told about a nice letter he wrote to his mom (not attacking the religion or anything like that) and she sent it back unopened. So again -- WHO (between CS & his mother) is trying to show love in their personal relationship?
@Vicwarren711 Dont talk crap. I grew up a jw and know alot about it. Half the people dont follow the rules etc. i think i seen about 4 "sisters" pregnant before getting married. Know what disgust me most about you people, say you had a daughter and she were raped and fell pregnant, her parents would make her have the baby. You people ruined my childhood and tried to brainwash. Its her sons choice to go back or not.
Jehovah loves you. Pray about it and God will work it all out. I know its all hard and complicated. I am going thru something now but don't let this make u give up on jehovah. I promise that he loves you and she does also. She is just trying to do what is right. Its wonderful to study the watch tower but you always have to listen and follow Jehovah God first. I will pray for you and your mom. I love you.
I so feel for you...I too was raised like you, a Jehovahs Witness. God this is such a difficult thing to deal with. My mother like yours is still a devoted Jehovahs Witness lost.....disconnected from the real world or should I say "this evil system of things."
I have tried with no avail to make her see how her mind is being manipulated and controled but she only sees this as "Satan" taking control over my mind and trying to make her doubt "the truth."
I was listening to you a while ago, it looked like you just got off work wearing scrubs. I felt so bad for you. You need to pray for your mom, that God will remove the door the Watch Tower put in her heart. It is so unChristian to denounce someone, especially a family member, because they don't share your religious beliefs. It is not at all what Christianity teaches. It teaches love and charity.
I am happy to see people as you expose the evil doctrines of this organization, when I decided get out from them about 8 year ago I discovered that the people was prepered to hate and despise you. they turns to other side of street when they meet me. So I am happy becouse there is no member of my family there, but, I lost all friends!

@ rhdtv2002 theres so much that the CHILDREN of jw's go threw that people just dont realize the family effect. and to some of the other comments yeah there is worse religions out there but JW is the one we all apparently are having a issue with i applaud you cstheapostate for doing what so many of us have wanted to for years! it takes some brass balls to do what you do :D much love
Live your life, the systems awaits you, indulge, nothing needs to concern you of your mum, there is nothing your mum can say to you, you a MAN! be a man and live according to what you think is right. If the world is right in your eyes, then go be in it, but leave those that want to serve Jehovah serve him, for the saying will one day be true, where sons and daughters will deliver up their own parents, Is that YOU!?
For everyone who thinks this is ridiculous or too far fetched to be true...it's very true. I deal with the shunning of my family every single day. It's very hard to understand it if you havent actually lived it. If you are inactive others can still talk to you BUT if you are publicly announced that you are no longer a jw, thats when the shunning occurs. Horrible way to live! Just say NO!!!
@JennTheDevil i have also for almost 20 years since I left..my dad who raised me doesn talk to me..to few times in 20 years..i remember going to an jw convention because my nephew was getting baptized - I wasnt really supportive of the idea but he invited me so it was almost 20 since I have gone to one and my dad was there and he came to me and said to my sister and held me "I love him"..how hyproctical that was - only cause I went to it..ask me how many times since then he talked to me ? NONE
I also used to be a jw and everyone from the kingdom hall still talks to me and i go to the memorials and what not and i still hangout with jw. that is just stupid to me
this is rediculous, my grandparents are jw's and my father isn't a jehovah's witness and they don't ban him and your mother shouldn't do that, the ppl that i've known all my life that preach in our kingdom hall wouldn't ever suggest to ban any of your children. They talk to my dad they all still associate with him and he isn't a jw anymore. Your mother sounds rediculous i've never heard of a jw banning one of their children.
i know what you mean. my dad was reinstated after comiting adultery now the only time i hear from him is when he wants to get in field service time. i cant even sit down and have a dinner with him to just catch up on "good" memories with out him preaching me into tears.
@alliecat201069 same here..in fact I dont even know what it was to be just a son to him instead of a BROTHER..get real..sorry to hear this..really do..
I'm in the opposite situation. I expected my mother to do the same thing, but I'm her only son and she stays in touch. It's sad tho. My parents drummed into my head that "Unless they pay your bills, who gives a shit" kinda attitude. ...and I pay my own bills, so that mindset would easily apply to my parents if they were to say that with no problem.
At one point, my mother compared me to Satan for not being a JW. We didn't speak for years until she called.
I'm sorry to hear that your mother is treating you like this. She should be trying to understand your side of the story. She may want what she thinks is best for you, but it seems like she's growing resentful, and that's not Christ like. Just know that JW's have a warped idea of what God wants from us. We are to love our neighbor as ourselves. We are to spread the Gospel in a loving and respectful manner. I pray that she understands this soon, and that you come to Jesus!
@DzVinci - It's good that you found out how JW's treat former friends and family BEFORE coming to a decision about whether to convert to their brand of religion. Some really don't find out much about that until after they've invested a lot of their time into it and given up their old "worldly" friends (their dismissive term for non-JW's).
Remember that Jesus said a good tree cannot bear bad fruits. To me, when a religion encourages cruelty to family members, that is a very bad fruit.
im it doesnt matter if i am or not A JW......u need to get a life stop waisting ur tiime talking about JWbecause in SOME congregations there's differentelder n different kinds of people n there NOT lke ur ELDERs understand that ur making all of themm look bad but all u say its a bunch of crap..there not all the SamEE!! ok. if ur going to refer JW refered them in YOUR X congregation IDIOT
@erick96firebird - I think you don't have a life, coming on here wasting your time defending JW's to a former JW when you're not even JW yourself. I was in several congregations, but they all have families broken apart by this religion. This is because the instructions on how to disrespect your formerly-JW family members comes from the headquarters and was published in the "Kingdom Ministry", an internal JW monthly newsletter. They wouldn't put it in their magazines that the public can read.
LET HER GO DUDE. IF SHE DOESN'T WANNA BE IN UR LIFE, LET HER GO. SHE'D BE A TOXIC, BRAINWASHED MENTAL CLONE DRONE/ SHEEP/ ROBOT ANYWAY. UR BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER N HER LIKE ZOMBIES IN UR LIFE. LET HER GO. and stop drinking so much. don't replace 1 drug (j.w. religion) for another--alcohol(ism). everytime i c u, ur drinking. remember:moderation. r u a pisces by any chance? ur mom is lost, 2 far gone brainwashed. lethergo.
@useacondompeople - I'm in the same situation as CS, having JW parents who shun me and will only talk family business.
I think CS has let go, but is putting this video out there to help those who haven't been JW's understand the amount of control the religion exerts on their followers - telling them who they can talk to even outside the boundaries of their worship centers.
@erick96firebird - If you haven't been a JW, then just step aside and let us have our conversation. It's healing to some extent to talk it out. Yes there are worse religions than the JW's, but they aren't the topic of this video.
I will pray for you and your family that was a sad story and I hope your life becomes all that you hope it should be and that you have a family that stays together and loving. The Jehovah`s Witnesses sounds more like a cult than a religion
Damn dude thats harsh man and pisses me off that this is goin around the world as we speak, i am currently on the move and explaining my family and friends what is the REAL deal of this whole nonsense.... but i really felt for you man....hope your mom comes around and realizes theres more to life than staying true to an ORGANIZATION than your own blood....peace out man and good luck....will be seein more of you! and hopefully MORE people out there.....SPREAD AWARENESS!!
:) one thing you choice to get dis-fellowed-ship its not like you a banned from going back you just choice not to go back and its like you said in the video you understand why (its in the scriptures) and yet you still complain. Ask yourself why you got baptized because it's not suppose to be your parents that make the decisions for you its you yourself... and ways good luck
Any mother would be lucky to have a child like you. I would love to get a letter like that from my son. Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. I think that was their words. Here is one thing you can know. Some day you will have a family of your own, including Isabella, and they will never treat you like that. And there are many mothers out here that know exactly what you are going through.
I'm sooo sorry CS, what a sad story, what evil the WT org is to split up families like this. I wish you were my son, I'm proud of you and love you. Please know Jesus loves you too. Much love to you and prayers

What a shame about your mother. It is so unfortunate that those who are so caught up in this cult completely outcast members of his/her own family. You are very brave indeed. I am very fortunate that when I left, so did my parents. I still have my family. I am sorry you do not have yours. Positive energy your way. Take care :)
Luke 12:51-53 Do you immagine I came to give peace on the earth? No, indeed, I tell you, but rather division. For from now on there will be five in one house divided, theree against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother in law against her daughter in law and daughter in law against her mother in law. What is it CSTheApostate don't understand about JW and what scripture?
Matt 10:37-40 He that has greater affection for father or mother than for me is not worthy of me: and he that has greater affection for son or daughter than for me is not worthy of. And whoever does not accrpt his torture stake and follow after me is not worthy of me. He that finds his soul will lose it, and he that loses his soul for my sake will find it. He that receives you receives me also, and he that receives me receives him also that sent me forth.

@Sugar4bears you guys love this scripture to support the evil act of shunning. think, what would Jesus do...he sat with sinners, not ignored them. its just typical cult tactics..just because someone doesnt want to be a jw dosent mean they should be looked at like the devil ...you always demonize those who dont agree with wt teachings..your leaders are afraid of losing you so they scare you...even if you have to throw away a child...this is what satan would do and is joyous to see!!
@holtcourt I know because he said he grew up being a Jehovah Witnesses and I know for a fact that you have to read the scriptures once a week so he knows if he was raised as a Jehovah Witness that that is a lye and the only people mad are the ones who wants to do the will of their father the devil. We all have free will and thats what he really wants his will to be fulfilled not God's. He knows the truth believe that.

I used to be a JW. I left after 2 years as I decided it was not a God I knew. My God was love and peace, and I could not not relate to a God of 'excessive discipline'. This talk of wrath etc was confusing to me. However 10 years later, I get it. I committed sinful behaviour that could now by life threatening. I completely understand the need for 'house rules'. Though you don't get the reason for rules, don't rebel. A child don't get why his dad removes the matches it's playin with either

The law Paul mentioned clearly is the law of Moses. It lead us to Christ, and having served its purpose it is now DEAD as a form of worship in God's eyes.

@sharlycupcakeMost WT members are without doubt decent and honest. One can be an Atheist and still be decent and honest. Ones religious affiliation or lack of it does not neccesarily have any bearing on ones morality. The Church does not tolerate wrongdoing. but at the same time does not stand in condemnation of anyone who is genuinely seeking to do what is right. By doing so, it follows Jesus' example when he said to the woman caught in adultery 'neither do I condem you, go and sin no more'

I'm so sorry, CS. I know that what you say is true, because I was a baptised, active Witness for almost fifteen years and was brought up in it from infancy. We were all taught to treat the disfellowshipped and disassociated (those who asked to be removed) as if they were nonexistant. No hello, nothing. The only exception is for minor children living in the home. Many individual Witnesses choose to secretly disregard this, but they can be repremanded for doing so.

He told his disciples to preach in Matthew 10. Matthew 10:14 tells them to go house to house. Matthew 24:14 says the good news of the kingdom will be preached... before the end comes.

For "Praisejah": To all who persist in believing the Watchtower's mindnumbing teachings and persist in shunning your children -- reality is far more satisfying than what you're being spoon-fed by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. Therefore, resolve in your heart to get real and get off the baby food fed you by the Watchtower. Remember that the Bible says "do not put your trust in man" (Psalms 146:3) -- that includes religious teachers. If you love life you will allow no room for malarkey.

to all who are faithfully and loyally enduring in the Christian way, we are sure that Jehovah’s truth is still beautiful, satisfying—even more so than when they first heard it. Therefore, resolve in your heart to never even touch the poison that apostates want you to sip. Heed the wise but firm commands of Jehovah to avoid completely those who would deceive you, mislead you, turn you aside into the ways of death. If we love Jehovah we will leave no room for penetration by apostate thinking.

I am sorry that your mother is treating you this way. But you must remember that you made the first step and SHE chose not to take it. She has been brainwashed. God never told anyone to dis-communicate themselves from their own children because of a disagreement of what is taught. I am praying for you, brother.

your mom is the problem man not the organization. i lived with mom after i left and we still talked every single day about everything and anything. we talk about my gfs, me going out to bars and she doesnt judge me or anything even though shes still a jw. so yes you had a bad experience but don't spread hate. you're a hate monger

I'm truly sorry for what you have gone through in the name of 'religion'. I hope that somehow you can turn to not religion but Christ of the gospels who asks for followers to freely follow him and not an organization. It would admittedly take whole rethinking of who He really is and not as He has been portrayed to you as in this cult. This of course is your right to choose to do so or not. You are brave and rightly angry about this. May the real Jesus be revealed to you one day. :)

Hi babystinky
I am from Australia, I don't know where you are from? You say untrue, well I can only go by the experience here in Australia. I have a close relative who was fellowshipped and his mother who is a JW will still converse. The only thing is that the mother will not fellowship on a spiritual level. Meaning the mother will not discuss spiritual level with the son. The son is 16 yrs of age & fellowshipped & I know for sure the mother takes care of her parental duties.

Sorry to say but it seems your mother is the problem not JW's. The fact is I know of persons in that exact same situation & they still converse with there son. They don't fellowship in the sense that they don't discuss the bible. In fact I know a sister who checks on her son regularly & from time to time but not all the time offers the son to come back.
Vicwarren711 1 year ago
@Vicwarren711 I'm sorry to say but the fact is I am only one of many people in my exact situation. I know many people who are shunned just as harshly as I am by their family. It is true some JW's don't take it to the degree that my mother does. But WT publications encourage their members to have "little or no contact" with dis-fellowshipped family members. And many JW's DO follow that admonition. Just because you know of a few that don't doesn't mean their isn't a serious problem with the group.

@Vicwarren711 you obviously don't know much about the jehovahs witnesses. the people in the jehovah's witness religion are taught that any person that leaves the organization will sow seeds of doubt and lead them away from the religion that they believe is saving their lives. they are told to not go after a "worldly education" meaning college or any post high school education... this may spark a brain cell and turn their drone into a thinking individual. heaven forbid...

untrue. completely untrue. i know to many ex-jws who have been completely shunned. a friend of mine was living on the street before i met up with him back in the 90's, his family disowned him. he now is educated with a degree and married and doing very well. i know a lot of people as well. the Jehovah Witnesses are a cult and this is a typical thing for cults to do. Scientology does the same thing.

@bxjesus - I think he's talking about his experience BECAUSE he loves his mother and doesn't want some dictatorial religion interfering in their family relationship. In earlier videos he told about a nice letter he wrote to his mom (not attacking the religion or anything like that) and she sent it back unopened. So again -- WHO (between CS & his mother) is trying to show love in their personal relationship?

I was listening to you a while ago, it looked like you just got off work wearing scrubs. I felt so bad for you. You need to pray for your mom, that God will remove the door the Watch Tower put in her heart. It is so unChristian to denounce someone, especially a family member, because they don't share your religious beliefs. It is not at all what Christianity teaches. It teaches love and charity.
I can be your mom, until your mom sees the light.

We are to love our neighbor as ourselves. We are to spread the Gospel in a loving and respectful manner. I pray that she understands this soon, and that you come to Jesus!

@DzVinci - It's good that you found out how JW's treat former friends and family BEFORE coming to a decision about whether to convert to their brand of religion. Some really don't find out much about that until after they've invested a lot of their time into it and given up their old "worldly" friends (their dismissive term for non-JW's).
Remember that Jesus said a good tree cannot bear bad fruits. To me, when a religion encourages cruelty to family members, that is a very bad fruit.

@erick96firebird - I think you don't have a life, coming on here wasting your time defending JW's to a former JW when you're not even JW yourself. I was in several congregations, but they all have families broken apart by this religion. This is because the instructions on how to disrespect your formerly-JW family members comes from the headquarters and was published in the "Kingdom Ministry", an internal JW monthly newsletter. They wouldn't put it in their magazines that the public can read.
