    Imagine This!! ExJW's come together and start sit-ins together at Kingdom Halls in groups. Don't start a commotion or a disturbance just Go and show the colors of of hurt and pain that they've caused. Talk to the Elders after the meeting. Bring a Film Crew from a local New Station once the movement is big enough. Do this at Assembly Halls, Do this at District Conventions. Have a Badge that identifies you as an EX JW. SHARE YOUR STORIES while you're among them by talking with each other even if they won't talk to you. Make it impossible to ignore us.

    I agree with Cobe. High Control Religion is a better description. The Witness aren't control by ONE man at the top. They aren't giving all their wealth to the Organization like say Scientology does buy putting their theology behind a paywall. But it does seek to isolate you from your friends and family and it resist facts that aren't generated by the organization. Keep in mind anything can be called a CULT. You Husband, Your Family, Your Job, Government, Military and even social media ... they all have aspects of CONTROL that would make some people uncomfortable.

    Whether anyone believe the Spirit God the Father Ahnsahnghong 💝 and the Bride God the Mother Zahng Gil Jah 💝 or not, Jesus Christ testimony stands forever in Revelation 22/16-19. Whomever the GIVER of WATER OF LIFE ETERNAL LIFE is ALMIGHTY GOD in the FLESH. So the SPIRIT and the BRIDE Are ALMIGHTY GOD in the FLESH for ONLY those who wish to be saved. THEY ARE THE ALMIGHTY ELOHIM GOD OF THE Living and not the dead Revelation 22/16-19& Revelation 21/5-7 Haven't you read the Bible that the SPIRIT will appear with NEW NAME in Revelation 3/12-13 & 2/17??? And the BRIDE, the wife of the Lamb, Holy City Jerusalem, is Almighty God, Heavenly Mother in Revelation 21/9-10,22 & Galatians 4/26???? Did people who claim to believe the Bible and Jehovah easily accept Jesus Christ Almighty God 2000 years ago??? Why did high priests, teachers of the laws and Pharisees who claim to believe the Bible and Jehovah fearlessly shouting to crucify Jesus Christ 2000 years ago Who was the Saviour, the GIVER of WATER OF LIFE in the Age of the Son? (John 4/10-14& John 7/37-44) It is because Jesus Name was not written in the Bible yet in the Old Testament but only Jehovah. Not understanding that Jesus was Jehovah in the flesh, which means they outwardly claim to believe in the Bible and Jehovah with their lips but their heart and ears and eyes were all far away from GOD eventhough Jehovah was right infront of them in the flesh as Jesus Christ So it is repeating again now in the Age of the Holy Spirit Especially those who betray the SPIRIT and the BRIDE are far far worst than JUDAS ISCARIOT WMSCOG IS THE ONLY TRUTH ON EARTH, whether anyone accept or not CULT ARE ALL ORGANISATIONS, CHURCHES AND ALL THOSE WHO DO NOT ACCEPT AND DO NOT CONFESS WITH THEIR MOUTH HEART MIND AND SOUL THAT THE SPIRIT GOD THE FATHER AHNSAHNGHONG 💝 AND THE BRIDE GOD THE MOTHER ZAHNG GIL JAH 💝 ARE THE SAVIOR ALMIGHTY GOD IN THE FLESH MAY GOD THE FATHER AHNSAHNGHONG 💝 AND GOD THE MOTHER ZAHNG GIL JAH HAVE MERCY ON US ALL 🙏🙏💝💝

  • @loveomoni1
    @loveomoni1 4 месяца назад

    GOD THE FATHER AHNSAHNGHONG 💝 AND GOD THE MOTHER ZAHNG GIL JAH 💝 ARE ALMIGHTY THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE WHO ARE FREE ALMIGHTY ETERNAL LIVING GOD WHO ONLY HAVE AUTHORITY TO GIVE MANKIND (sinners) WATER OF LIFE ETERNAL LIFE ( Revelation 21/5-7, 22/16-17) IF THEY ARE THE GIVER then are THEY sinners or GOD ALMIGHTY??? OF COURSE sinners can never give another sinner water of life BUT GOD ALONE MEANING THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE ARE ALMIGHTY GOD 💝💝 SO THEY ARE FREE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH AND THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE JUST LIKE JESUS CHRIST 2000 YEARS AGO BECAUSE THEY ARE UNLIMITED AND ETERNAL 🥰🥰 meaning THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WISH. IF THEY WISH TO HAVE AS MANY FAMILY AS THEY WISH, HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN AS THEY WISH, AND EVEN IF THEY WISH TO SMOKE OR DRINK AND DO WHATEVER THEY WISH. THEY ARE FREE ALMIGHTY GOD WHO CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, so no maggot and sinner like you and me must even dare to question or judge THEM even a little bit BUT ONLY TO GIVE THEM HONOUR GLORY AND WORSHIP FOREVER AND EVER MORE FOR HAVING MERCY ON THE UNFORGIVABLE sinners like you and me who are destined to be destroyed in hell forever. THEY WILLINGLY CHOSE TO PUT ON THE FILTHY MAGGOT CLOTHING OF THE FLESH AND COMING TO THIS DETESTABLE EARTH IN HUMAN LIKENESS AND LIVE THE LIFE OF sinners ONLY FOR ONE PURPOSE TO SAVE MANKIND. I FOREVER IM SO SORRY TO GOD THE FATHER AHNSAHNGHONG 💝 AND GOD THE MOTHER ZAHNG GIL JAH 💝 FOR COMING TO THIS EARTH AND SUFFER SO MUCH ONLY TO SAVE THEIR CHILDREN 🙏🙏 but for a maggot like you and me who are so pitiful and very limited are to be sooo aware and be very careful of our tongues and thoughts because it won't save us especially slandering and blaspheming and betraying THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE THE ALMIGHTY ELOHIM GOD THE GIVER OF WATER OF LIFE ACCORDING TO JESUS CHRIST TESTIMONY (Revelation 22/16-19) THEY ARE GOD OF THE LIVING not the dead AMEN AND AMEN🥰🥰

    Thanks for inviting a mental health professional. The Witnesses and other high control groups portray psychotherapy as dangerous, perhaps because the therapeutic process encourages one to self-reflect. This discussion helps demystify and normalize the actual process. I am a late Gen Xer who left the JWs in the late 1990s to attend college. I got a degree in developmental psychology and holistic health. I've had a full career in the non-profit sector and corporate philanthropy, and recently pivoted my attention to focus on community mental health. I now work in academia doing research in a medical school, and am working towards a PsyD degree. Although it's been a long time since I've been a member of the JWs, I think I can trace my passion for justice to the unfairness I saw and experienced in the organization: the poor treatment of women and other minorities, promotion of authoritarian parenting styles, life threatening beliefs and practices (e.g., blood policy, shunning), and intellectual, emotional, and spiritual control, etc. Less discussed in JW circles is the damge the group does to the formation of attachment relationships in childhood, which has lifelong effects. By my memory, I rarely encountered Witnesses who were securely attached or who had healthy emotional regulation. How could they be, when the threat of punishment loomed for every life choice, including mistakes? I am still working on growing in my attachment to others and how I manage my emotions. The roots of the difficulties are partly attributable to those early interactions with other insecurely attached, psychologically unhealthy Witnesses. Great conversation!

    Around 1:23:25 Dr Ryan refers to the verse that is repeated often do not stumble your brother. He then says that implies that the choices of other people are your responsibility! That hit home because my JW family & friends made a choice to treat me cruelly and condemn me for the choice I made to stay away from them.

  • @Adventures2024-AD
    @Adventures2024-AD 5 месяцев назад

    I agree with Dr Ryan’s definition and Wendy’s comments on Guilt & Shame. However, the two words are used differently by the organization within the JW religion. They set up activities, ways we SHOULD feel, and THOUGHTS we MANDATORILY must have and guilt us if we don’t measure up. Of course the measuring line is always shifting. Then our family/cong/elders/inner programmed mind shame us into conformity. The shame also includes the possible punishments we will receive if we do not conform. The weapons of shame that are used are: gossip about you, soft shunning, being left out/over looked, being taken in the back room, local needs directed at you, deletions and disfellowshipping with the announcements insinuating you did something terrible. If everyone is treating you worse then a mass murderer then your self image and feelings of shame and guilt are amplified - except you didn’t do anything to deserve that treatment. And then of course they say God sees all your actions, desires and secrets and will make them come to light. It’s enough to drive you to suicide-

I understand how difficult it is to deconstruct your life after such an ordeal. There are 3 miillion members in in WMSCOG in 175 countries and the number is growing rapidly. I never realized how many cults there are out there until I went on the internet to do my own research on the wmscog. I only wish, that I did more research on the internet at the beginning, however, we were frowned down on going on the internet. I was told, that Heavenly Moher would cry and have a broken heart if I ate from the tree of knowledge and not of the tree of life. I and I did not want to die Spiritually. I guess I'm not the only one who was brainwashed in this world. Thank you once again for this video. I'm going to subscribe to your channel for sure.😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😮😮😮😅.

    I have the book “Millions Now Living Will Never Die” along with dozens of other books. I left the cult in 1979 at age 18 unbaptized. My parents stayed until their deaths in 2011 and 2017. I inherited their very large collection of WT material. I also bought many many at used book stores and on line.
