Looking back, a lot of friends were lost during our journey into, thought, and out of the cult. That might seem a bit depressing...and that's because it is. However, every cloud has a silver lining. In this video, we talk about different ways ExJWs can rekindle relationships and how this can actually be a good method for healing when you leave the cult. As always, tread with caution.

So UNGRATEFUL!

We were talking the other day about how it was difficult to be truly grateful for anything when in the cult. We were told that this world is temporary...that we shouldn't invest in it because the new system will come soon. So, we subdued a lot of things including our appreciation and gratitude. These are things we've been working on since we've left and it's definitely a work in progress. I kno...
THAT is the ExJW Question...
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.3 года назад
As Ex JWs it's only natural to want to wake folks up. HOWEVER! Are they instances when we shouldn't wake someone up? Even someone we live? It's a tricky answer and we don't think there is a right or wrong answer. But we share our thoughts on the matter here along with an experience of someone we thought would never leave Watchtower...and we didn't want to wake them up...at least initially...but...
This is What Happened After We Left

You don't need us to tell you how crazy it is leaving the cult. But something we've found is often overlooked is what people get up to after they leave and move on. We think it's important to talk about that because it gives folks still going through the motions hope that there is more to life that the grief and stress that comes with leaving. Things do improve and CAN improve drastically when ...

    2 Corinthians 5:14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

    Well I hope you at least still believe in rendering your dues, the duty of making sure you give sex to your mate, being faithful to your mate, even if you left JW. I think they had some good ideas, on marriage and sexual obligations both for husband and wife. But yes I left, I was a pioneer, my Dad is a elder, I had a disability and they discriminated against me, so I bailed out, and Jehovah has sustained me, without any help from the brothers, of course they refused to help me when I was very active, they gave me a cold shoulder, but they loved when they used and exploited me for free labor. I dated women outside of JW and found most women do not render sexual dues to their mates, so I would prefer if I end up single I would like to marry a witness woman, at least I know she would screw me regularly. That is really important to man's well being and mental health, affection touch and sexual relations, are important to me, sadly I have not found that with women outside of Jw.

    You were assaulted by that cult follower and you will do nothing about it because your personality was assigned to you. You are not you. I was not me. The real me is a human being who was free of torture by the cult. I blame the government of Canada for allowing this organized criminal group to exist. Canada, you owe me millions. I charge Canada 497 million for destroying my life.

    I would go occasionally as a kid and I Remember when a brother had watched porn and everyone knew and I just thought that was soooo degrading for everyone to know. Even if he had done something wrong like why not just do a private lesson with him about how it was wrong and see what was causing him to watch porn. I always hated how they aired ppls dirty laundry.

    If my brother had been taking better care of himself he wouldnt go e to hospital again... His heart literally stopped working... He had been in hospital twice before for heart problems... Still pioneering, still trying to do loads for the "ORGANISATION" and they are happy for him to sacrifice himself to the point of martyrdom and premature death... Apparently its " ALL ABOUT LOVE " REALLY?

    HIGH CONTROL HIGH DEMAND ITS A BUISNESS MODEL MADE BY IMPERFECT MEN The more experiences I hear only reaffirms why I refuse to go back... My brother is still jw and pioneering even though he has heart problems. My brother actually collapsed during a pioneering meeting, first responders pronounced him dead and managed to get him resuscitated with the aid of a defibrillator, which took 4 attempts to bring him back... He was and is high risk of heart problems.. Even leading up to that event my brother's apartment had spent medical spray you use when the onset of heart problems occur... I know because I went to help clean hi apartment while he was in hospital recovering... You see as long as you're doing their work, that's all that matters... Your health, humility to take care of yourself is diminished or not existent... They still say Jehovah isn't a harsh task master.. Gaslighting tactics all the time... Whatchtower is though, a harsh task master even if Jehovah isnt!!!

    When I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant at age just turned 40 with what would have been our 4th child, my ex husband told his JW mother on the phone that I was pregnant...her reply was "oh dear", my ex then told her I was losing blood and there was no feeling from her at all. I miscarried later that week and I was expected to say it was for the best because it's what they thought. I struggled to get over the loss more because of the lack of family care.

    A Jehovah Witness tried stealing my son from me, when that didn't work, they split my son's mother and me up. They believe and teach that, one reason why Jesus came into the world is to split up families. Very evil cult that is missing the point of why Jesus came into the world and what Jesus stands for. Very sad.

    Our daughter and our grandchildren are still stuck in this cult, and the damage to our daughter has become more and more evident, with her over dependence on pharmaceuticals, to the point where she is becoming a mentally and emotionally lobotomized zombie. I do not recognize her anymore. I believe she knows she’s made a huge mistake, but her pride and probably a certain fatalism, plus the endless control being exerted upon her, keep preventing her from leaving - along with her children having now grown up in this cult, and knowing nothing different. 😢

    I just stumbled on your video whilst scrolling through Ex JW videos. I was a JW for over 30 years I was contacted on the ministry, I wasn’t born in. I woke up in 2022 due to the Covid situation and the Watchtower response to it. I have my own RUclips channel and I have made over 30 videos exposing the Watchtower Organisation. I tell my escape from the Tower experience there. I can relate so much to some of the things you discuss. The total lack of love. The lack of compassion for children, the interrogations by the elders and so on. I’m glad you and your family escaped and are continuing to help others do the same. Sending much love Marcie Ex Jw❤

    I can only imagine what that was like. I left as a second generation JW back in 2009. I had not spouse or kids. I stepped away from my family due to drama alone. I had no support but I'm blessed that I made friends very easily. What hurt me... I was aimless. I didn't know my purpose anymore I started studying philosophy through Jordan Peterson. (yeah I know) I read Martin Luther Kings sermons, A knock at Midnight and the Strength to Love which is my favorite book! These people inspired me that humans were mostly good. I dedicated myself to helping the people around me. I dedicated myself to challenging myself to make my career the best I can. I went back to school in 2021 thanks to reimbursement for my company. I know I will be an engineer. That's my purpose. Find your purpose too.
