I was the opposite I did all my drinking while being a witness. The minute I walked away I no longer felt the need to alter my reality. It was so liberating! Ever since I've been able to take it or leave it.
Interesting. My years of being "in the truth" were as a kid and teenager, but I can see where drinking would ease the anxiety of an adult in that crazy cult. Thanks for sharing that.
I truly appreciate the updates & the sensitivity towards individuals who might be questioning the Jehovah's Witness organization. It's great to see you taking care of yourself.
Which church are preaching the gospel of the kingdom around the world to all nations as Jesus Christ said? Matthew 10:16, 24:14, 28:19-20, Mark 13:10, if not only only only the Jehovah's witnesses.

I’m inspired. My danged addiction is...”Low Calorie” “Low Fat” ICE CREAM! (Yeah, right)! Ok! This is it! I’m giving it UP starting tomorrow! I watch WALLY and eat ice cream!!! 😂😮❤
BTW I have appreciated the research. I was born in it and indoctrinated for 40 years, so seeing your research from my present perspective is so refreshing . Love the pets!
You look great! Congratulations on the lifestyle change. I, too, quit alcohol this year. I know firsthand how great you feel and how much weight you carry when you are consuming too much alcohol! 🤩
Agree , alcohol has some serious negative effects and is a known carcinogen.. Our liver and body will thank us to be without alcohol or drastically reduced ..❤
Wow! 50lbs?! I didn't think you looked unhealthy before, you carried your weight well. Happy you're prioritizing yourself and feeling better. I really enjoy your skits and hope you still do them for giggles. It feels SO good to laugh at what I once feared. Thank you for all you do.👏👏👏👏👏✌💜
Please don't forget to be who you are. Your sense of humor is what kept drawing me back to your channel. I can get facts, statistics and history lessons from other channels, but yours is unique. Congrats on your sobriety and weight loss.
Congrats Wally! Alcohol really does a number on the body physically mentally and emotionally. I also stopped drinking several months ago for similar reasons. Self care is very important, especially after leaving the cult, it's not selfish, it's NECESSARY. Glad you're feeling much better💪
Amazing. Well done you. I lost 308 pounds recently and feel great. You look younger and more fresh faced. You will have certainly added extra years to your life..... Proud of you.
So glad that you were able to take a pause and take care of yourself. I have never been a JW, but I have a family member who is currently a JW and I want to thank you for the work that you have done to expose the JW lies because it has helped me learn so much. You are a blessing to me.
Thank you for your honesty and humility you have shown. It is not easy fighting things that aren’t good for us. I’ve been where you are and my heart goes out to you. I’m not a witness but my husband is. Trying to get him to open his eyes is extremely difficult as he is very stubborn and proud. He’s come a long way from where he was but still…I love him so much. 25 years married, 27 together and known each other since high school, I was his secret friend who happened to be a girl his JW mom knew about but hidden from his JW dad. Definitely need to show kindness to ourselves and take care or else we end up hurting those we want to help because we hurt ourselves in the process. Praying Gods hand upon you for strength to continue in your journey 🙏🏻❤️
Hell ya! Lookin great dude. I quit almost 2 1/2 yrs ago and it changed my life. It makes my heart happy to see you taking care of yourself and being selfish for a change, I know it’s difficult to do. 💪🏼🤟🏼
Currently PIMO. my brother left maybe a few years ago and he opened my eyes to a lot of new information that I never knew. I was born in and had very strict old jws as parents. I struggled for 2 years questioning everything and shut down. I found your videos a few months ago and in slowly accepting that this isn't the truth. thank you for the informative videos. my husband is still currently in but he's open minded and has questions. if there's anything I can do to help him please give me advice.
So inspiring Wally I have been broken for some time too. Some things I’ve cut out and replaced with good habits and still some to go. Thanks for being an actual good example
There's no need to apologise for looking after yourself. Ive been on the beer for sometime and its made me fat, where i was always skinny. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror today and thought i need to sort this out. This video has reinforced that thought, thanks 👍
Wally, great job! I am very proud of you too. Take care of yourself because no one else will! That time you spend on yourself will make you much more productive when you try and "give" to others.
Hey Wally you look amazing 🤩. You looked great before but you chose the best route. Thanks again for all you honesty and well done in your sobriety. Another great episode . Stay safe Wally ❤❤❤❤
Good to see you are practicing "Self-Care". It is not being selfish it is taking care of yourself (who else is going to do it?). Be well, you look well and keep it up!
Hey wally, I know exactly how that feels to want to be selfish with your time me and Tracy is on that path with each other together not separate from each other, but against the world with just her and me working on ourselves together. I realized I had some anger issues pent up from being stretched thin that was unresolved from the organization from narcissistic parents and everyone taking from me so I totally get it buddy Keep up the good work my friend 🌹🎉🎉🎉😎😏😏❤️
I love the analysis that you do of the organization. I also love your skits and silly side! You're doing great, and its awesome that you are so considerate of everyone. ❤
You are looking really great. You never have to apologise for taking time for yourself. Your mental health will improve with taking care of your body. Agree it is not easy to step away from being a JW. Keep up the good work 💖
Wow, very mature of you friend! My "reason" for doing better health-wise is getting 50 more years (53 now) to make up for the 38 years in the "ORG"...REALLY appreciate you Wally!
It is wonderful to see you looking so healthy and vibrant Wally. I was wondering how you’ve been doing and I’m so glad that you have taken time to look after yourself. It can be hard thing to do as someone raised as a witness-we were taught to always put others first and to think of ourselves as not important. We weren’t taught self care. Keep up the good work. You’re doing well and looking so fine. 🥰
Hi, Here in Australia we have had the WT determined amount per publisher here for a lot longer than since 2021, id say easily 10 years. Its somewhere around 8 dollars per publisher per month so I last heard, it could be more now.
As a former evangelical Christian, I have to say don’t give up on the jokes entirely. Seriously, learning to laugh at my beliefs was a major fundamental aspect of getting out. The defensive reaction is expected. It’s part of the process.
After getting out of JWs, I went into a church that did the “turn to your neighbor and do the hug or kiss of peace thing.” I froze then ran out the Exit door. Then I tried the pastors who end all their words in, “aaaahhhh”. Like Goduhhhhhhh. Then the guys who fell backwards, the ones who spazed, the women who walked around twirling sparkly wavy wands, the Pastors who leaped over money on the stage, the guy who ascended down to the pulpit on a zip line, the ones who yelled hell, the ones who walked in high heels and short skirts and big hair and lots of make-up and prophecy....I cannot go into a church without panic attacks. So I don’t. ❤
I agree that being harsh and laughing at JWs it not really helpful. I've been out for years, and have family who are still trapped. I don't feel comfortable with making fun of them, or them being portrayed as dumb. They are trapped, like we were. Most were born in and know no different. Be gentle, humourous, and 100% factual. The GB are evil, but most of the jw sheep are good (but misguided) people, who are trying to do what they think is the right thing. Love you Wally.
Amazing info on ur health & transformation, & thank u for giving us an inside to what’s been going on. Takes a lot of strength & humility to admit & do something to change. Keep strong!
I'd love to hear more about gb or anointed being prophets. Someone said this was something that was fundamental for him for breaking away. That they were prophesying and they got it wrong so "you should not fear them" (quote from the bible).
Right! I’d like to hear more about business deals WT is involved in, more about the HLC and people donating properties and valuables, etc. And I wonder what’s new in the shunning dept, and if the No Blood doctrine (only fractions) is changing? Are many lives being saved now or are children still being denied blood transfusions when needed. Holidays: any chance of a JW grabbing a tree and dragging it home without them being “removed”?
In 2008, the congregation asked us all to give some kind of informal commitment to how much money we could donate every month. My wife (at the time) and I discussed it. I said I could probably do $20 a month. She scoffed and said that she would do $70 out her money each month. I thought that was high, but it's what she wanted, so we wrote down $90 and handed it in to our Bookstudy Overseer. A couple weeks later, there was maybe a local needs part where they said very few people had turned in their forms. The brother said that they only had $95 worth of monthly commitment on paper. And I happened to know I was worth $90 of it! So, even 16 years ago, people weren't really down for written commitments.
Regarding the humour, I think your humour is gentle and points out the ludicrous nature of the GB. As long as there is no mockery of the individual JW's, humour helps to bring home the truth.
The Circuit Overseers have always been funded for their car and insurance through suggested per publisher amounts every year. I faded almost 13 years ago, and before that, it was announce announced for another 15 years before that that the WATCHTOWER made sure that Elders announcements to the congregations once a year, calculated what the donation per publisher would be to cover the CO's expenses each year.
Fell ya brother, I put on a lot of weight during the pandimic and drinking had a lot to do with, now i'm 5olbs smaller and in the best shape of my life at 51
I left in 2016. It was quite a few years before that when our congregation handed out index cards and asked us to put our names down and how much we could contribute every month.
Congratulations Wally on your health and the choices you're making🎉🎉🎉.. Alcohol does affect our bodies in mostly negative ways and the research proves that.. I enjoy your channel and I think probably 8 to 10% of your audience is active Witnesses.. your channel , JW Researcher Rose and Surviving Paradise are my favourite channels.. keep up the good work❤❤❤..
I don’t have anything to support this except memory, but I think that when I was a kid- I remember hearing from the platform that there was a suggested monthly donation per publisher …. Been out for 25 years and am in my late 40s

Yea I was drinking when I was a witness too.

Alcohol is metabolized differently in some people. It’s genetic you might need a doctor’s help as opposed to going cold turkey .
