  • There is no 100% the true 100% for humans is 89% so one part in nine of every cult follower is actually free or wanting to be free and envious or jealousy or your appearance of freedom.

  • First off, anyone commenting that was never a Jw you have no freedom of speech to talk of Jw's when you probably learned 90 percent of your info off of jw hate sites. I've been around their org for 25 yrs. My sister is being shunned like you are and it's not right. I went to see her against my parents will and my dad lettered her. Its all about balance and i believe some of jw but not to live that way. Believe me i got disfellwshipd over bullshit n my twin bro,some of em r drones. add me on fb *

  • Thank you all so much for the support. It hurts to see that people have given up their thinking abilities to the point of letting this cult hold them back from showing love to their flesh and blood, their own children. They just CAN'T see how f*cked up that is and have let someone else decide for them that it is a good idea. With only 2 out of 3 DF people going back to that organization and only 37% of people raised as JW staying JW, you'd think they would realize how ineffective shunning is.

  • Dear hilldiggity, do you just read Watchtower literature? Do you define God, human relationships, history, ideolgy, etc, through the filters of WT material? Do you feel uncomfortable to research outside of WT readings, if you feel the need to do so or not to do so? Have you read & research what your friend has researched? If not, you should...if you do, you will take back everything you've said to your friend.

  • "Your “feelings”… have they made you dismiss all of the “knowledge” that you’ve taken in over these many years and thrown it into the trash?", "Telling me that you are not shunning me… is hilarious.", "That we mean so little to you does hurt…" #1 No more ellipses, woman! #2 Retain info much? She didn't hear anything you wrote to her. Her 2nd letter is unbelievable. Talk about not getting it or you. Not being heard/understood is its own special brand of hurting. BTW, I'm Hillary. Hello. :)

  • You have a family right here... I know you miss them and you always will some of them will wake up some will not. Remember the light gets brighter and brighter so the org is changing and people are waking up. Jehovah God is the only judge not any human beings, let them believe what they want its control over their minds they belong in there you belong free.

  • It's very difficult to be shunned by your family, but as hard as it is, you're doing the right thing by getting out of that dangerous mind-controlling cult. I don't know where you got such a high level of intelligence, but just know you are doing the right thing.Stay strong, you are not alone. Never go back!!! Keep being the intellligent woman that you are. Don't let ANYONE blackmail you into being something that you are not!!

  • sorry that your going threw this it does get better after awhile im an ex jw

  • Well the "god" of JW cult isn't real so you will be spitting into dead air. You still sound a bit angry by your experience and in a sense I can't blame you. You lost a lot! It's a shame that your family is willing to forsake you and not open up their eyes to the reality of this organization.

  • Let me play the script for you. As soon as you corner a JW w/ truth, they try to flip the switch. When you tell them about the child molestation cases their organization is guilty of they come back with (1) pedophile catholic priests and (2) gays in the church and a few others as if two wrongs make it right. When you talk about their known history of failed prophecies, then they come back with "nobody's perfect." But funny this doesn't apply to their governing body. They refuse to think!

  • @YhwhKhaiMostHigh that is so true. I know a few people personally that have been raped within the "organization". The only thing that was done is the guy was disfellowshipped and the victim still saw her abuser at every meeting. what kind of justice is that.

  • @kaigedbyrd yes my husband was one of them grew up believing Jehovah was going to heal him in the new system but now at 50 years old he is still suffering from the effects he became the abuser I recently divorced him and trying to move on with my life.

  • You said this correctly! Everything within that organization is controlled. If you talk to one JW it's like talking to all of them.They all quote the same nonsense. "Got permission to write to you?" These people are sickening. This organization continues to break up families with their false doctrines.

    Amazing how you got 5 thumbs down on this video when you're just telling the truth about your experiences. This cult needs to be obliterated!

    ".. found no lies?" Yeah sure! Blind much?

  • Well said Velour. We can only hope that this Borganization implodes and sets the sheeple free in our lifetimes. You know how it is...you cant make a JW see or understand anything even if it is logic because their circular literature based "proofs" go nowhere. You are so much better off living your life as you see fit. Doesnt the real God say to be true to yourself? Is lying still a sin? Wouldnt perpetrating a falsehood, saying you agree with the WTS to go back be a sin to Jah? :) Hugs to you

  • I'm so sorry you are going through this. You are amazing and intelligent and God loves you! Stay strong! It looks like there is a lot of support for you - a lot of people that have been through what you are going through. I love your thinking brain! So proud that you made a great decision! I wish you well. You WILL be blessed! (((hugs))) <3

  • This is amazing thank you for sharing your experiences. JWs are NOT a mainstream religion they are a high control cult that hurts people and this adds to the evidence. You are brave. Thank you for joining our community and adding your voice. <3

  • You are such a strong ,intelligent woman ,your family is making a HUGE mistake treating you this way . I know it hurts ,I hope you will begin to build a new family with people that will respect your independence and love you for who you are . Stay strong .

  • My heart goes out to you. I feel such sorrow for your pain. I am amazed you were able to make this video without crying. You made the correct choice to leave that cult. I only hope your family will someday be able to find their way out as well.

  • There are many people who suffer as you do, I hope you have friends to support and comfort you. I am in the process of organising a charity to support those who are shunned or who are threatened with this treatment. We aim to provide support and advice to all, I will post website details as soon as I can. Thinking of you.

  • I do not believe in organized religion, but I do believe in Jehovah...am I wrong for that, then?

  • Comment removed

  • Honestly, I don't think that your family are really true Witnesses. Even if you were disfellowshipped, your parents shouldn't have treated you like that. :( If you are their daughter, you are their daughter. They should love you no matter what. I'm sorry that you had to undergo such a loss. Jehovah's Witnesses as a whole aren't like that at all.

  • @velourchip i am a muslim i would just like to know if you fallow a different religion or gave up on it this comment is also not to promote my own religion

  • keep your own best habits. those lessons were good one, get yourself some education, that is something for YOU, do YOU and your life for your own YOUtopia. be well.

  • key in jw fairytale for healing humor. I hear ya.

  • pls let's get together, i'll be back in africa on feb 6th, but mwant to here from u b4 then, go to marryingghan america on face book or ghana scam investigatgor.

  • You have been deceived by an organization not by God. You need to be a new creature in Christ.

  • Why do jws think that : stop going to meetings equals stop serving jehovah god? I still serve jehovah, I just like David am happy not to sit with hypocrites, or sat in the sit of the scornful.

    Why did u leave jehovah!!!!! ?

    I haven't , I just rather be home in peace than surrounded by wolves at the kh that are taking chunks of ur flesh ,eating u alive.

  • @Shellastar my daughter decided to stop serving Jehovah. She recalls that her life was better when she served him. She hasnt come back yet but I do encourage her to attend christian mtgs. I will comtinue to serve Jehovah although she doesnt want to. I still love her no matter what...and I love u too sis...(((hug)))...Remember everything that glitters is not gold!!!!

  • Its not about the watchtower,the organization or the religion, or the ppl in it .Its ur relationship with Jehovah God that matters the most...ijs...

  • @shawndaking88 "It's about the people" "Jehovah matters most". Well which one is it? Do people matter most or this thing you call "Jehovah"?

  • Hello young lady. I see ur pain as ur dicussing the email. Believe me ur parents love u dearly. Im not sure how u guys got in this situation. It comes to this ur parents see u as leaving Jehovah and going to the world. They dont approve of it. The bible says if a man calls himself a brother and he is practicing sin, no one is to eat with him or even eat with them. Ur parents r being obedient to Jehovah God...Im not calling u a sinner...ijs. Read the account of the Prodical Son.Return to Jehovah

  • Oh yeah, and I remember my mom saying "What, are you going to try to 'find yourself' now, out there in the world?" I believe in Karma and I really hope it comes back to the WatchTower. It's all a bunch of bullshit, they are no different.

  • My mom told me when I left again that "you can't have it both ways". You can't have your family and do whatever you want. Isn't that messed up? I totally feel your pain... it's still new to me. I lost my parents and all 6 siblings who I loved dearly. I send you hugs and love. You are NOT ALONE.

  • When someone finally treats you worse than you would treat yourself, You will leave the relationship. Work on yourself, my friend. Stay strong.

  • I haven't even seen the whole video but i can feel your pain just from the non verbals. Keep going and think about the things you want in this world and don't be afraid of the things you don't want.

  • I'm glad i found your video.Good job.Your not alone.I have a "parent" like this,it is not as cut and dried as they think,and i hope.God willing,that there hearts will open to real love.They miss so many of the basics in that religion,to the point of fanaticism.Don't hold your breath for them to change,but love them anyway.Your example is a better one.

  • So sorry I can feel your pain I know right now it feels terrible I been there but just hang in there it will get better there is life outside the watchtower they just don't want there followers to know that  but believe me it gets better in time Your loved God will always love you ....He is smiling right now that you pulled your self away from this apostate cult. and keep looking up and smile .

  • I just happened upon your video and one other. Thank you for reaching out like you have. You are most certainly not alone.

    One day I may grow a pair big enough to tell my story too.

    Fair tidings.

  • When someone hurts us, must we say to ourselves it is our parents fault and get upset or angry with our parents? We are all Jehovah's children and he loves the world so much that he gave his only begotten son to die for us. This was not a normal death. This was the most tortures & painful death imaginable. Imagine a parent having to watch a son or daughter to go through that kind of death even for people who hates you, for wicked and righteous? I have been dis fellowship for over 18 years and.

  • Saten eventually persuaded me to belive that my Father in the heavens hated me. I felt that if Jehovah's people have nothing to do with me then their God, Jehovah must not have anything to do with me. I never stoped reading my bible but eventually stoped reading the Jehovah's Witness publications. I did slow down tremendously, but never stoped.

  • completely. I used to think that we need other publications to understand the bible. I was wrong, because with Jehovah all things are possible and with mankind nothing is possible.

  • We are all imperfect and if God counts one single thing against us, who could stand? No one!!!

    Keep asking and keep seeking we shall find and it shall be given to us. If we ask for holy spirit and for understanding the bible and all other things this is holy & righteous Jehovah will give it to us.

    If anyone needs comforting or anyone to talk to send me a message.

  • Just remember that god is just like the parable of the prodigal son. A loving father.

  • Omg they hurt u deep I'm sorry I too felt the same way toward jehovah, it took me a while to realize that it wasn't god I was mad at but the organization n all the hypocrites n judgemental ppl that r part of it.

  • The Jehovah's Witnesses, your family, etc.. they let you down. Not God. You are truly blessed right now and because you're hurting sooooo bad, you don't even realize it yet. God DOES LOVE YOU, that's why HE drove you out of "religion" and HE will drive you into "relationship". You'll see..... you will fall in love with HIM all over again. Just don't harden your heart because of your pain. God LOVES to work with BROKEN VESSELS. That's you right now. Much love and blesssings to you

  • It broke my heart to see your video! I can truly identify. I was raised a "Catholic" but as I got older and "Read" the bible, I decided to walk away from Catholicism. My mother pretty much told me I was going to hell for turning my back on the religion I was raised in. It hurt, but absolutely no regrets. The truth of God's word won out. We tend to place blame on God, when really it is the "Institutions" of religion that carry ALL the blame. Believe me, the Holy Spirit is at work in your life.

  • I see Your HURT I am SO SORRY! SISTER! Very Much LOVE for YOU!

  • Its a free world hunny people can judge

  • Yeh, selfish. That's what they say when they want you to do what THEY want you to do rather then what you want to do or think is right. Oh man, good point. They are very selfish...and that God too! Loving god? Yeh right. No you're not..I know you're right. Sorry for your loss.

  • Be like Hagar? I'm stumped. She did nothing wrong....just like you. Hugs.

  • Its like she's got a symbiotic relationship with the Watchtower. I don't know if she believes it down deep or if she is using it as a defense against any threats to the faith she professes. Hagar? As in the woman that was raped by her brother and thrown away when she was the king's own daughter?

  • @Sheraseven Oh woops! I guess its the woman that Abraham knocked up and later threw her and her son out in the desert to die rather then give them any inheritance rights.

  • @Sheraseven You might want to read the story more carefully. Angel is translated from "malak", which means messenger, earthly or heavenly. Now plug Abraham into every mention of Angel in that story. I think you will find it makes a lot more sense.

  • @Sheraseven That was Tamar.

  • @IWannabeJew Thanks, Uzi!

  • @osidecrazy760 How dare you judge her like that when she has lost her family! If she doesn't believe, she still deserves better treatment.

  • @osidecrazy760 Rot in hell you dumb shit, god damn, jesus fucking, fecal brained, sub-species. you're not even worth the waste of flesh you toss around pretending to be a human being.

  • @osidecrazy760 No no, clearly it’s a case of shame on u. This woman is already suffering. Why can’t you react non judgementally and humanely to that suffering without bible quoting, and fear mongering and condemnation. Speak with an authentic heart? What is the matter with you? It’s the same old same old. No natural affection, love that is merely a party line, and an extremely telling one at that.

    That kind of “love” is a thin veneer and not natural.

  • I am sad you and your family have been torn apart like this due to your parents being cruelly and cynically manipulated. You're clearly a very intelligent, rational and free thinking woman and I'm glad you see that in yourself. Be strong and I hope you grow in loving yourself and that you foster happiness from within so that you may be fulfilled in life without dependence on anyone else. That said, where there's life there's hope, and I hope that one day your parents awaken and realise what t

  • wow, great video. sorry for your loss. live for yourself now, and discover all that life has to offer! hope things get better. peace
