Thanks for dropping by! This channel has undergone its own modest evolution over the last year or so. You'll find many of the videos and discussions revolve around Atheism (since I am an Atheist) as well as Jehovah's Witnesses (since I was raised in that particular cult). If you're interested in more information on these two topics, feel free to visit my blog at exjw.wordpress.com
Name: Moxie
To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born... ;)

Hello YouTubers, please call me Moxie (VCC is a username that can't be changed).

The gist of it?

I was a Jehovah's Witness for the first 18 years of my life and now I am an Atheist. It's been quite a journey - and one that hasn't ended yet...

I made the decision to start speaking out about the Watchtower Society because I realized that so many years of silence did not do me or anyone else any good. So now I'm here speaking from the heart and hoping that something I say can help someone out there.

Many of the videos I have ear-marked here on YouTube deal with issues relating to Atheism, religion, or specifically Jehovah's Witnesses. I find the community and vast array of differing opinions to be very interesting and in some cases inspiring.

I invite you to read my blog

Islam is not a victim
Brilliant as always... I just finished reading Ayaan Hirsi Ali's book "Infidel". If I wasn't completely disgusted with the religion of Islam prior to reading that book, I now am. The very essence of Islam, and the message of the "prophet" Muhammed is one of the abuse and subjugation of women and children. It is one of bitter cruelty and a complete disregard and disdain for the value of human life (particularly female life). Islam breads misery, conflict, poverty and disaster. (3 days ago)

YouTube Atheists Find Out They Were Wrong.
Good vid! Too bad that the only thing that could actually prove god's existence is death. Ironically at that stage, the satisfaction of a conclusive answer is only attainable if one should arrive in heaven or hell. If the Atheist is correct they will never have their views validated, since they are in fact dead. Still I'd rather live my life and embrace the wonder of my species existence rather than utterly waste it on the hope of a non-existent hereafter. (3 days ago)

Does Evolution Hurt Your Ego?
Your ignorance and obvious lack of scientific knowledge does not constitute a plausible argument against evolution. Calling evolution a "fantasy" betrays your ignorance of the subject as well as basic scientific method. (3 days ago)

Response to: *WHO* created the universe?
Doesn't that make you want to bang your head into a wall...?! "Read a book or something." Perfectly said. (1 week ago)

Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man religion, and he'll starve to death, praying for a fish.

Hi Moxie!

I'm happy to have found your channel. I'm an ex-JW myself. I'd be happy to collaborate on vids re JW's. If you have any ideas, let's brainstrom, and I'll bring my ideas to you.

Have a great day!
lokitheoddgod | July 23, 2008

take care ~Matt

ok..ok...go easy then hey..i just gets to me ? do you go to shazoolo's channel and tell him what he can do and say on his own vids ? i dont think so....i like his manner also but he shouldnt be trying to control you like this...thats why you left.

My mother and grandmother are both jehovah witnesses and im living with them currently...for the past 2 months i havent been going to the meetings. I just like to see other people who agree with me that are ex-JW's.
logicalguy7790 | July 20, 2008
Hey VCC you make some good points in your vids. I've had an almost identical upbringing as yours. I feel like I'm the male version of you! LOL. Been out for about 13 years (left when I was about 22). My family is still in it hardcore. Father, has and still is an elder for the longest time, and my brother is a bethel elder. Believe me I know what many, like yourselves are going through. Someday (when I get some time) I may submitt my story to your blog. Life has just gotten better and better ever since leaving. Like Author C. Clarke said "religion is a mind virus", and I have come to realize that. Sad but in my opinion it seems that only they will be able to get themselves out.

Why are all the hottest atheists in Canada? :P
VanCoffeeChick | July 18, 2008
Go easy.... Shazoolo is a wonderful human being... I may not agree but I respect his opinions. If all Christians were like him, I wouldn't be making these videos....
JwineCT | July 18, 2008
WOW...brother shazoolo the hypocrite has spoken..omg shaz..wtf..you cannot censor YT buddy..VCC can do and say whatever she likes my friend ? by doing this you have just proved VCC is right about religons...good one :)
Shazoolo | July 18, 2008
Hi VCC, Please do not lump all religious people in together with the JWs (i.e. your recent vid - 'Why Religion Sickens Me'). There are many good things in faith and many of our society's values and history are actually based on such. Not all religious people want to see others destroyed at armageddon as many JWs do. I have been a Christian 18 years, associated with many denominations, and can honestly tell you that I haven't met a single person who holds such a view. This is primarily a JW thing.
