It's Not As Late As You Think
The Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses has been tricking us into staying in the cult for over a century, and this tactic is STILL WORKING. And it's not what you think. At least i think it isn't. This is Jason from the channel and I am here sharing my driving thoughts.
Today I break down the two major realizations that I've had since leaving Jehovah's Witnesses.
We are on a break right now, but we will be returning with season two of Difficult Childhood in January. Meanwhile, we will have new content shorts like this to share. Please like and subscribe! Hit the notification bell so you know when new episodes drop next year!

    Man…I can relate to everyone’s feelings about having to deal with school as a JW child. I graduated high school in 1994, it couldn’t come fast enough because for one, I wouldn’t have to deal with the miserable school experience anymore. Most importantly though I turned 18 two months after graduation and I knew I was going to liberate myself from it all.

    I'm not far into this video in particular.. but as far as JWs in public schools.. I've got a story. One of my classmates in 3rd grade was JW. She was very awkward, a little bit chubby (other would pick on her but she was gorgeous) but you can tell that the things and rules she had to follow weighed on her. It was Valentine's Day and she went to go sit in the hall while we passed out Valentine's cards. Something told me to go sit with her outside of the classroom. She had been picked on relentlessly. No friends.. ya know. But I had an overwhelming feeling that she needed a friend. I asked if I could go sit outside the room with her to keep her company. I didn't care about the cheesy lil dollar store valentines. I cared about her. Dude that was over 20 years ago and I still remember her smile when I sat down a couple of feet away. We talked and joked around.. all that.. she was so sweet. Just brainwashed and conditioned into believing some weird stuff due to the JW organization. I hope she got out. Or at the very least.. kept lil ol me in her heart because I was the only one who was so kind to her

      Adding.. the prom thing. I may me strange in this but I HATED prom. I'm the type who wears black shirts, ripped up jeans.. ya know. My boyfriend at the time (gag) who was older didn't go to his senior prom. Our mom's both were like you "HAVE to go". With three days to prep. Thankfully my best friend had a dress from the previous years prom. I wore that. Still have to get an outfit for my ex. Took care of that. We stayed for all of ten minutes. He hated it. I hated it. So I said hey to a couple of friends and then we left and ordered some pizza and I had some.. drinks.. at home. I'm still so mad that we got forced to go. I was so anxious and extremely self conscious. Me.. being part of the "emo" crowd (mainly because of the music).. showing up like that? I had a panic attack. My usual outfits are my black converse high tops with blue or gray laces.. ripped skinny jeans (more so men's skinny jeans.. they're so much nicer.. nowadays) and it was just.. weird. Our mom's wanted us to go so we did and we were both mad as hellfire the entire time.

    Of course this happens ; but as J.W. ( s ) are not fully prepared to be able to deal with circumstances either in the preaching work or other circumstances that might come into existenc ( s ). So we could easily be pulled away from Jehovah God and Jesus Christ. So easy to be misled for sure ; it easy that is there !

    In your dreams, "They Not Like Us" The witnesses are the only ones that do the preaching work, follow The Model Prayer and Jesus' New Commandments and remain separate from this wicked world. The only ones who honor God's name, restored God's name in their Bibles, and do what the Bible commands us to do. Organized religion hates God's name and his people and have removed God's name from their Bibles 6,828 places and only worship the son, sports and holidays. They have made themselves enemies of Jehovah God, along with you! Christians is not the name of God's people. Guess who's going to heaven and who's going to hell? If you hate God's name and his people, it means that you are wicked!!!! "You are my witnesses," is the utterance of Jehovah, even my servant whom I have chosen. There are no other witnesses other than Jehovah's Witnesses (who are called by his name). Isaiah 42:8 I am Jehovah. That is my name. Isaiah 43:7 Everyone who is called by my name, And whom I created for my own glory, Whom I have formed and made. Isaiah 43:10 "You are my witnesses," is the utterance of Jehovah, even my servant whom I have chosen. - This scripture is very clear that the witnesses and Jesus Christ, both belong to Jehovah God. Isaiah 43:11 I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior. Isaiah 43:12 So you are my witnesses,” declares Jehovah, “and I am God. Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,” - Even Jesus Christ was a witness. Ezekiel 3:19 If you warn them and they refuse to repent and keep on sinning, they will die in their sins. But you will have saved yourself because you obeyed me. Revelation 14:20 And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress as high up as the bridles of the horses, for a distance of a thousand six hundred furlongs. Revelation 19:21 But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled from the fleshy parts of them. Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Psalms 37:20 For the wicked themselves will perish, And the enemies of Jehovah will be like the preciousness of pastures. They must come to their end. In smoke they must come to their end. Matthew 7:14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. When the wicked enter hell - that will REALLY fix their thinking!

    Yes, the stupid moron elders who DF'd me a few years ago did so because they believed that contributing to a lawsuit against a governmental health agency (that defrauded millions during Covid years and took away their medical and Constitutional rights) was a "violation of our neutrality"?????? "Neutrality",.......go ahead and find that word in the Bible! Much less strictly defined!! Was I and perhaps thousands of other witnesses who wanted their human right to choose their medical treatments, "part of the world", or a "friend of the world"??????? Well if that were the case, then why did the Watchtower Society join the United Nations as an NGO for 11 years; and then pull back out because a shrewd witness whistleblower found out?? And then why has the Watchtower even over the ongoing past 20 years joined UN affiliate organizations that champion human rights and religious freedoms?? Isn't that "being part of the world" that they so condemn??? And how is the Watchtower being no part of the world that Jesus denounced taking up weapons for;......investing in large military weapons manufacturers like Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman, Honeywell International, and others? And why hasn't the Watchtower's Board of Directors and governing body been disfellowshipped like me and others, when they belong to the U.S. Department of State as an NGO? They also belong to the OSCE: the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe;..whose goals are clearly political in their charter!! And why hasn't the Watchtower Society's branch leaders and committee directors been disfellowshipped for ongoing lobbying to the City of New York, the Governor's office, Bulgaria, and several Asian and European countries????? This is a much needed video that I will save under my "JW Hypocrisy" files!! Thanks for spreading the word out to every JW you meet; because they will DF congregation members because of an elder's personal conscience, but cover over things the HQ and corporate divisions of their publishing branches engage in EVERY WEEK OF THE YEAR!!

    You are right. Critical thinking is discouraged. Very robotic. And you don’t realize how controlled you are until waking up. Worrying what others will think if you buy a vehicle you like and not a “service vehicle”. Worrying about your dress, what you watch online, not missing a witness opportunity, worrying about absolutely everything. And feeling like you have a us against them type of thing where you must stay on guard against “worldly associations”. I had multiple nervous breakdowns and hospitalizations and had to take a deep look at my life and why I always felt anxious , fearful, depressed and gloomy. I felt miserable and started seeing the negative mind control and how it ruins your life. Thanks for the video.

    I agree to an extent. If I had left at 20, the first time I was DFd, I hadn't acquired any skillset, credit, or had ever lived away from home. I reflect back, now being 57, and wish I'd left it behind before I married into it and dragged it out for another 15 years. But, i would've be lost and broke. When I did leave, at 35, I was much more prepared. My options were still limited due to not being allowed to get a real education or degree at a time in life when it was more appropriate, but I had some skills and was able to earn and provide for myself, plus pay child support forever. Having acknowledged that leaving in my 30's wasn't so bad when it came to taking care of my physical self, the emotional side is completely trashed. Same as everyone, I lost every relationship I'd ever had, except for my then 6 year old daughter, who waited until she was 18 to get baptized and then dump me. After my own divorce, I went through a ton of relationships. All horrible. I'd spent so many years conforming to what everyone else wanted me to be, I had no clue who I really was inside. It took years to work that out. When your lifelong friends, multiple siblings, parents, and even your own children all leave your dead, then mix it with a string of toxic relationships, you simply lose all trust and faith in the concept of love altogether. I just can't do it. I've spent the last decade alone, and it has been great. No drama, no pain, no heartbreak, no compromising. So, I guess I'm just saying there's a limit for some as to how much "moving on" you can successfully manage.

    Thank you for sharing! 😎 I have been back and forth for years because I didn't quite understand what I was feeling and why. I didn't trust my own gut feelings and it wasn't until my last marriage, to a jw cheating husband, (2nd jw husb who cheated)...that I really got into doing more research and came accross all the sa info as well as this needing to have "2 witnesses (in good standing btw) for ANY offense! I had witnessed both my exes infidelities through msgs, pics and so on... even sent what I felt ok with sending onto the elders! Still, just to be told he/they either had to confess or be caught by 2 jw's, at the same time... together! As if a knowing jw whose committing these sins would actually tell on themselves! Even harder to have 2 (not inc myself) catch them in the act! 🤷‍♀️🙄 Once I started seeing the other evidences of what was going on with all the sa within the org... though still believing in God... I realized just how bad things were! 😮😢 I too feel, now being an older person, who didn't get an education past hs (didn't grad) that ill have a long ways to go in starting a career or getting a decent paying job to take care of myself! 😒😔😕 I've worked places that didn't fit what I need just to have an income.. now trying to figure out what to do next! 🤷‍♀️ I'm hopeful... 🙏

And by the way in this game of flip the coin, heads, cult-leaders win as they’re telling you what to do; tails, you lose because the zombie followers are paying the bills, not the cult-leaders! If the bill gets paid at all; since most of the zombies work for nothing in the long run they are bled quite dry; quite sad! And at the end of the day, the cult-leaders own the property to sell at their leisure as the believer zombies suck their thumbs waiting for new instructions from their cult-leaders God!

    By the way, a black-magician is only someone who projects negativity for the purpose of manipulation; their mode of operant; in reality they’re really just vampires; those that take, take, take cause they think they can!

      Have you ever seen the show What We Do in the Shadows? The GB remind me of the energy vampire on that. He doesn’t bite, he’s just boring and drains energy and life. 😆🦇

    Being a Jehovah’s Witness is like riding a ride at the amusement park; eventually you begin to realize hey look I’m on the ride in an amusement park; because you’re realizing your not a child anymore and you get off the ride; then you can help others to grow up too; by showing them, you can!

    I left when I was 40. I didn't feel ready to lose my friends and family before that point. Shortly after leaving, I went to university to earn a teaching degree. Six years later, I graduated and started teaching in my late 40s - it was a Wonderful Experience! Now I am 66 and retired, and SOOOOOOO GRATEFUL that I went to uni when I did, cuz now I have a pension I can live on - Phew!! Big Relief!! I am still learning and growing. I have so much more peace of mind and joy now! So very grateful to have my intellectual and spiritual freedom! If you no longer believe it is The Truth, and you wish to exit, I encourage you to do so. Access whatever resources you can to support you as you start a new chapter in your life. (For me, it was student loans, and some counselling.) If you prefer to stay in, stay in...I really don't think God cares either way, as long as you are happy. Oh, and by the way, after I left the Org, I didn't turn to alcohol, drugs, or become a bitter, angry apostate. 😉 I have been living a life I love, with a new community of dear friends who are like my adopted family. You can do it too, if it is what you want. All the best to you! 😀❤⭐❤⭐❤⭐

    I feel we shouldnt get angry with people in Jw. They have been deceived and are victims. Continue tough to pray for your loves ones still in for the wake up for the veil of dellusion to be pulled from their hearts and minds amd of course that it comes down from the top and free the oppressed and bondage to the cult with that actual love of God in the name above all names Jesus.its so upsetting stoll seeing the hold they have over my siblings ❤

    People are leaving Christianity in general, because of immorality and money grubbing, watch the movie SPOTLIGHT with Michael Keaton for example it's an eye-opener

    if you cut out all the toxic aspects of the jw cult there is nothing left, so there is no reason to stay... ita a empty shell of a religion
