I was a JW who married a believer and at first I thought he wasn’t the believer! But I also married him at a time when I started having doubts about my faith. He did what he could to support me as a witness but made it very clear that he would never change his beliefs or convert to JW. We constantly argued about where our kids would go. Until one day I decided to give his church a try. Fast forward. I got saved and rebaptized there and have never gone back to the kingdom hall. My family shunned me at first but they’re over it now. Our marriage is definitely better.
Keep making videos. You are meeting a real need. God has used this situation to grow you up in the Lord and deepen your faith. Two of my family members became JWs forty years ago and that was what made me realize I needed to study my Bible to be able to rightly handle the Word of truth. What the enemy means for destruction God intends for good. God is so good!
Our oldest son married a JW when he was young. He knew that she was a JW, although not a practicing one. He thought he could change her. We warned him. He didn't pay attention. Their marriage has produced two beautiful children and they are being raised JW. Our son is an alcoholic and it affects his family, and breaks our heart, too. The JW do not believe in AA, so our son is now saying he is a JW (on Facebook) and not to us personally. He was raised a Christian and was very active in our church while growing up. We think that he is being brainwashed and thinks that only the JW can help him with alcoholism. We do not know for sure. Pray for us, for him, his wife, and his children, please. I beg you. Btw: her mother, her two brothers, and her sister have left the JW and this gives us hope.
This is upsetting. The elders have no formal training to deal with alcoholism. That is a medical need. They have no formal, professional training to deal with any matters. It’s a group of men that have been appointed based on how many hours they spend in the ministry, do they comment enough at meetings, etc. Then once appointed they are given a book, a manual on how to handle to different situations based off of what the “governing body” has approved. Which is another group of men that call all the shots for the entire organization. It’s a really messed situation and I hope your son gets the help he needs. Lots of people with addictions fall into deep depressions in that religion because they never receive the help they need and are made to feel spiritually weak because they are told they don’t have enough faith. Don’t give up hope. Sending you Christian Love
Don't know where you get the idea that Jw's who have an alcohol problem can not go to AA as that is a lie they encourage people to get help with a problem I think your confused maybe with scientology
I am a recovering alcoholic with a little over 13 years of sobriety. Alcoholism is a deadly disease and I cannot understand why JW is against AA when they do not push any belief system on you. It's about helping your fellow alcoholic to get sober.
Girl, you are mistaken. I think your husband didn’t explain anything to you. JWs pray all the time and we pray through Christ and talk to him and thank him for dying for the mankind. It seems you are just as indoctrinated as he is.
As far as I'm aware they are not against AA if they can help I'm sure it's ok as long as they don't direct against Jehovah's wishes that are laid out in the bible for all to see
Im married to a jw ,been married 50 years joined jw in 1963, i woke up to Jesus about 5 years ago. I am faded out of jws ,my wife does the jw zoom meetings twice a week for 2 hours and letter writing one hour , i manage to get to christian church 2 or 3 times a month for 30 min communion service , we have a sort of truce . People at church dont really understand why i cant just publicly leave the jw org .they are shocked by the shunning policy . Im 76 my wife 71. Im so happy to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus christ now .my wife and i still do our bible reading together and pray together , i ask the lord often to guide me .when i first woke up it was the night of the memorial ,i got to thinking about Jesus and the way he suffered for us .i prayed to jesus to show me if i was right to get out of WT ,that night i woke troubled at 3 :16 .on the digital clock .that was my answer .
What a testimony. I’m so happy for you and will pray for your wife. How do y’all pray together/ knowing that you believe in two very different gods? I struggle praying with my husband for that reason
@@sweethoneybee8518 as i said to my wife the name Jehovah has been familiar to christians in the anglican and catholic church for years ,so calling God jehovah does not bother me at all .the WT does not have copyrights on Gods name as in the old king james bible .and american standard version .if we accept the trinity the father son and holy spirit are all God .thanks for reply .
Well even Jesus Christprayed to his father Jehovah. So i read you prayed to Jesus. Your wife is a JW you better be elated because wives cheat and leave their husbands so often
My husband was married to me for 11 years and put up with me as a JW raising out 3 kids JW. Bless his heart. I recently found out how "tweaked" we are and decided to leave completely this past Sunday. All I can tell you is that if he married you as a non-JW he is not 100% in. He does have doubts deep down, and there are so many amazing exJW channels here on YT that could help him. I am sooooo sorry, I'm so sorry! I feel your pain just the other way around. Wishing you a lot of patience, hoping your hubby can wake up. It's deeep indoctrination.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am 63 year old and Christian (follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, believing in the trinity) deeply in love with a 62 year old man who is JW. We have been friends for 15 years. He’s widowed and so am I. We’re a young 62 and 63 old. We’re not going to get married but that doesn’t take away the love I have for him. I recently found out that he was an actual elder in the JW faith. Mind blown on that one 🤯 I don’t have the energy to go back and forth with him about our faiths. I will need to resolve my feelings about this man and grieve the relationship I thought would eventually end in marriage.
Oh my God thank you for doing this video. You are God sent. Today I needed to hear this. I am married to a Jehovah witness for 11 years it has been soooo hard. I have days that I don’t think I can continue like this. But you are right God has been with me I don’t know what would be of me if not for our Heavenly Father.
Thank you for making this video. I was trying to find the support group and im hvaing trouble minding it. I am currently dating a JW and i have been learning a lot about his religion and have even gone to a few meetings. Itd be great to be able to talk to you more about and get your advice. I pray to God everyday about our situation. I do want to stay with him and he feels the same way.
facebook.com/groups/812516622726991/ Feel free to join our support group- we have several other who are dating/engaged to JWs and still on the fence about entering marriage. I can’t remember if I said this isn’t the video or not…. If you have a relationship with Jesus and consider yourself to be one of his followers- I would really caution you not to enter into a covenant marriage with an active JW ( or anyone that hasn’t given themselves to the Lord)… I’m not saying he is not the man for you, but probably not right now. Take a stand in your faith and do not marry him ( yet) until he has a relationship with Jesus- meaning he has talked to him and asked him to be his Lord and Savior. Learn from me- and others who have walked in your future shoes, You do not want a JW being the head of your household. They are wonderful people with good hearts- but being fed spiritual food poisoning everyday. Praying for you and your boyfriend. 🙏🏻
One thing you must know which is the harsh part of life and what's that?? You are UNBELIEVER for him and he is UNBELEIVER for you and this part you need to look into very carefully, my girl who is JW LEFT me saying that i am an UNBELEIVER and i was shocked core to my heart (still i dont blame her as my parents were not in favour of our marriage). Incase you need some help you can talk with me just in case as i have dated a wonderful JW girl who left me recently.
I was jw when I married my also jw husband, after about 14 years of our marriage with 3 kids , I realized that the jw religion is not s true religion as it claims. I left the religion for christ, this increased problems we experienced in our marriage, I couldn't take, I chose christ over him. We are on separation now and divorce is the next level to go.
Watchtower Governing Body of JW’s teach King Jesus is Michael the Archangel/That Jesus was murder when actually He gave His life freely/He laid down His Life for the remission of sins not for protecting His Father according to their doctrines/That Jesus died only Spiritually/ not physically.That our Mediator King Jesus is for the 144,000 only but the Governing Body is the Mediator for JW’s church members … always discrediting Calvary’s Cross of Christ that He was nailed to a pole/ the stake… that’s just the beginning
My wife is a pregnant JW, and im studying, 😅 i told her that if she loses blood and it jeopardizes her and my son's life during labor i will give her blood, because ill be damned to let both die to then watch a governing body update next month and they get new light regarding blood transfusions, she got quiet, with no protest. Also tell the elders you need money in these economic times, and see what happens. No protest. It's all good in theory but when real life shit happens things get real. She said someone is in trouble for having a gun in their home. I again said so I guess if someone breaks in and assaults you I'm going to stand and watch and call a brother the next day, no I'm protecting you. Again no protest.
Look into the Australian Royal Commission (ARC). This is what woke me up after being a JW from birth to age 23. GB member straight up lying on the stand about policies that have been DRILLED into our heads for years. As a parent, i believe you would appreciate seeing Australian lawyers confront local elders about policies that actually create a harmful environment for children by not requiring elders to report SA to local authorities. This happens frequently and many times elders have a "get out of jail free" card since they hold all the power over the congregation. There's a reason the GB instructs the sheep to get information exclusively from them. They want their little sheep to obey and not ask questions so they can maintain control.
Good for you for protecting your pregnant wife and baby! When I was in, way back in the 70’s, my husband did not protect his family. If i or my child needed blood, he’d say no. I argued that I would save life and I was reported by him, “removed”, shunned, and he was told he was justified in leaving me as I was a rebellious rather than submissive woman for PROTECTING my little family. It was awful. Your wife and child are blessed to have you. ❤
Oh my goodness! I just came across your video and I thank you for so honestly and boldly sharing. I am in the same situation. Married only two years to a JW believer and follower because he is not baptized. I've been told by my husband that we pray to two different God's 😢 It is very heartbreaking.
I’m so glad they have been helping you. If you want to join our Facebook group “Christian spouses of JW’s 👫” - please find more of us there! It’s helpful to know we’re not the only ones in this situation
@@sweethoneybee8518 , thank you I will look again. I've been looking since you mentioned it in your video but cannot find it. The enemy works in so many ways. Do you know the panhandle for the page?
I’m an EXJW of 38 years. I know it hurts that you believe he isn’t saved, but he was taught that you are the one who isn’t saved. JWs do not believe once saved, always saved. You’re both praying for the same thing. You’re both convinced you’re right and the other is wrong and that’s what’s wrong with religion. Rather than focus on the kind of humans you are, and live in the present, you’re both worried about all the wrong things. Also, he married “out of the truth” and that means he married a “worldly girl”. There will always be judgement of you and him from the JWs. JWs actually call themselves Christians also, so you’re really deep into the speaking the same exact language with a different accent. JWs do not believe ANYONE but them are true Christians. If you need a resource, I’m here for you.
Hi Wendy- That’s so true…. But in his mind… I’ll just be conscious of nothing. I’ve mentioned to him ….. “sooooo… you think I deserve the same punishment as Hitler? Just conscious of nothing?” 🥲…. In my mind, he will be separated from God from eternity. I’ve often told him “I’d rather go to your version of hell then to be a JW and have no assurance of where I stand with God” 🤷🏼♀️ If you don’t mind me asking- what we’re a few of the things that made you leave the organization?
Hey, I was going to mention the same things to her. I was raised jw. I left at 50yrs old. I waisted my whole life trying to measure up for the Borg. They day I got baptized I was told everything is gonna get harder and worse for you from now on.
@@sweethoneybee8518 why did you married him in the first place? Makes no sense if you want him to be a christian than staying a cult member go to church and refuse to go to his cult or his watchtower meetings or his cult building claiming it's a church stay in your faith your true Christian religion I pray you be the miracle to refuse to join his cult and continue go to yours hopefully that convinces him to leave the Jehovah's witnesses if that doesn't work let him go
@@sweethoneybee8518 I left for sooo many reasons - you can look at my channel as I’m an activist to help others. For the sake of this convo, basically I left for two reasons: 1) their doctrine is wrong 2) it’s a cult.
The real problem is The bible itself comes under the same scrutiny ~~~~~Its a simple childs question ~How do you know what the Bible writers wrote down in the first place is true ~~since the writers are using literary devices ?
You just said the most important part of your message, if I hadn’t married him I wouldn’t be the Christian I am today. I’m sure it’s been hard on you, but you chose this, try being the child of he’s. I wasn’t asked and I didn’t have the choice. I was born into it, and I was bitter over it for years until I realized I wouldn’t be the Christian I am if I hadn’t been put in it. We have been refined through our struggles, just pray the lessons not be wasted. Yes you chose it, yes it might have been different, but I do not believe in mistakes in Gods Kingdom. You have a purpose and a mission. Continue to help others even if he never changes, it’s not your place or ability to change or save him. And above all praise God you are not lost as he is. God bless
I can relate to that, let me tell you, a very stunch jw lady, wanted for us to get married, but what I knew about Jesus Christ, I just couldn't do it 😢
Sounds to me like you love him very much In my opinion there’s no reason for either one of you to apologize to God. Marriage is just difficult whether you share the same faith or not. But it’s dope to see that the both of you are living up to your vows. God has to be happy for that 🙏🏾😇
Thanks for sharing. The good thing is that you have 4 lovely children with a man you love. You should give him some hints in areas he should study in JW doctrine as he need to figure this out himself. You are so strong. I'm not married to a JW but one of my best friend is JW and she would benefit to really study as she is so into it.. hard!
That’s very true… so much to be thankful for. The topics that come up the most are 1914, who Jesus says he is and the physical resurrection ( the first time I asked him this- he said of course he was physically resurrected- and I told him that was boy what the watchtower taught- of course he changed his mind and said it was spiritual. What hints would you suggest I have him focus on?
I just saw the second part of your message about your JW friend- praying that the Holy Spirit will direct her and guide her to the teachings that will open up her spiritual eyes
@@sweethoneybee8518 I have been thinking so much about this but I'm so scared to push as their training is to avoid listening. Each time I have said something I can see that they have doubts but are trained not to take it any further. I have said to other JWs that why are you coming to us to question our faith and not listen to our false leaders when it's only the GB that are allowed to do "research" and then come up with these 180 degrees turn around in New Light. I think the Shepard of the flock reading would be a wake up call for any JW husbands and wives. It shows the how the organisation should work and its not a loving arrangement...just a structure to get people scared to stay...
@@sweethoneybee8518 You might want to try the issue of 607 B.C. for the destruction of Jerusalem being the source of their 1914 chronology. If it goes, everything following it goes. You might ask him "Honey, could you show me quality sources (not Watchtower) that affirm the 607 date is the correct date for the destruction of Jerusalem?" He shouldn't be able to, because the 586-587 chronology is accepted by all (or almost all) qualified academics - even secular ones. Hopefully he would try hard to show you the so-called 'truth' abou the date, but would realize there's a real problem there. There are a few other sources under "Jehovah's Witnesses, chronology" in the bibliography that I put together. If not, you might ask the Holy Spirit to direct you towards a topic (there are quite a few listed) that would do the most to destroy your husband's trust in the Watchtower. archive.org/download/english-spanish-books-for-ex-jws-jws-others-11-9-21/ENGLISH%20%26%20SPANISH%20BOOKS%20FOR%20EX-JWS%2C%20JWS%20%26%20OTHERS%2011-9-21.doc
She said Accept Jesus but the VERSION of Jesus she believes ....she believes Jesus is Son of God almighty and also the God almighty basically Jesus is his own father Jehovah ...JWs believe Jesus is not his own father the almighty Jehovah but believe he is the son God sent from heaven to die for humans as a ransom, but he is not the Jehovah of the Old testament......using the analogy of Superman....the evangelicals believe Superman is Jor-el, not Kal-el they believe cause Kal-el came from Krypton and Jor-el is from Krypton ....that means they are the same person so Superman is his father Jor-el
@@moisesbeyond your analogy doesn't work bc your analogy has two different people and doesn't include the essence of GOD. Also the names would be titles or names. So using your analogy the Triune essence of God working in unison would be equivalent to: Before creation it's self, before the cosmos before the angels at the very very beginning existed a void. Within that void resides a powerful, unseen "Jor-el" or creator force. A force with no visual representation, but with a consciousness. That force speaks an audible sound, "Let there be light." Boom. Creation is spoken into existence. First the spiritual realm where the Angels reside, then the cosmos. The Angels can see the visual representation of the Jor-el. They get to know the Jor-el, who's holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el is the spirit and word of the Jor-el. He's spirit and has holds a physical state, too. He looks different from them. They see Kal-el create everything else, including humans. Kal-el makes man in his image and likeness. The Angels see that humans have a spirit and flesh state, just like Kal-el. Kal-el walks among humans who only know him as the Jor-el. It's not until he walks with one of his prophets, after the disobedience of man, in which he reveals that his holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el sets in motion the redemption of man through thousands of year. Until one day he deicides that enough time has passed, he leaves his spirit state with the angels and humbly enters the world through a woman in a fully physicals state and full human. To have the full-human experience and to redeem mankind through his physical death. In his fully human state he is known as Clark Kent. In this state he doesn't hold the Glory of the Jor-el or Kal-el. Not until his resurrection. Upon his resurrection he returns to the Jor-el and Kal-el state. He takes the throne as his Clark Kent state and sends Kal-el to reside and bear witness to man. Now the Angels only reside with Clark Kent, as Kal-el is with man, both working in full unison with the Jor-el.
I’m going through it right now man, I left over a year ago and she’s still in. They don’t realize that when they go to the hall they are thought that they are better without really realizing it. Amd that destroy families at home
Just keep on praying and reading your bible so that you may remain strong! Don't hope for quick solutions because there are none. Your struggle is one of endurance. In the long run it will all pay off.
50 years married and 40 of it to A JW. Very long story. My only advice to you is hold tight to your children, pray God's protection over their minds and hearts. It's lke I told my husband " I'm responsible for their spiritual upbringing too." Don't let your husband tell otherwise. I've been a Christian sense the age of 10. I have 3 daughters, 2 know Christ but one remains a JW. Very hard because now I have 4 of my 8 grandchildren being raised as a JW. The struggle is real. Stay strong! Thanks for sharing! ♥️
Also, Timothy's mother had a Pagan husband and she still respected him. Your husband is not a Pagan. I would suggest you find some common ground and respect your vows if you want to be a good Christian like you indicate.
JWs are subconciously paganis who worship the GB mentally and spiritually , since GB they taught : Since God and Jesus COMPLETELY TRUST the faithful slave , Should we ( you ) do the same ? The same WHAT ? To TRUST the GB COMPLETELY like God and Jesus has FAITH to the GB not the other way around , so God and Jesus are lower status than the GB , that is the implicit message the GB had sent to all jws , 👇🏼 Psalm 146 : 3 Do not put your trust to the princes nir son of man thwre is no salvation We need to obey the faithful and discreet SLAVE to have Jehovah approval ( wt July 15 - 2011 p24) But JESUS say in the Bible : JHON 15 : 15 NWT I no longer call you SLAVES , because a SLAVE DOES NOT KNOW what his master does . But I have called you FRIENDS because i have made known to you all the things i have heard vfrom my Father ▪ THEREFORE ,,,,,,LATER For more than five decades we taught the FALSE DOCTRINES ( July 15 - 2013 page 3 par 3 ) The Governing Body is neither INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE therefore it can ERR in DOCTRINAL MATTER ir in ORGANIZARIONAL DIRECTION ( wt February 2017 page 26 par 12 ) Howc a group of mean's called GB the proclaim GOD and JESUS TRUSTED them COMPLETELY while they are NEITHER INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE ? what does it really mean ? neither GOD notbJESUS hor HOLY SPIRIT ever spoke to GB about anything , thats why they are NOT ISNPIRED NOT INFALLIBLE , Who is the GB then ? FALSE WITNESSES , they are LYING , so strickly and abusively , what does the Bible really say about tge FALSE WITNESS ? PROVERB 21 : 28 NWT A LYING WITNESS WILL PERISH but the man who listens will testify with success Yes they will be perish , it is terrible that the 8 DUST ( Psalm 103 : 14 ) saying GOD AND JESUS TRUST US COMPLETELY , only people with mental issue believe such abusive fantasy is tge GB trust completely to the DUST ? if they are not , why should GOD has lower sense than the GB ? how such God can help mankind ? therefore jws God need millions of peoples help him ,since he can not help himself does it ? is jws paganist ? yes they are , POLITHEISTIC by having GOD and "a god " BIG GOD and little god , Jhon 1: 1 NWT and WOTSHIP GB secretly inside their hearth ,
My parents were missionaries in various countries in South America. I was born in Peru. As a teenager, I stopped going to church partly because of the hypocrisy, lack of brotherhood, and nonsensical teachings. After13 years of being a hippie surfer and professional guitarist, my girlfriend began studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. We married, she got baptized, and within a year I also became a JW. I've been one now for 46 years, have a great marriage and we continue to be living the best life ever 😊
I love the way you parroted "best life ever" like a drone. You know there is something wrong in the organisation, you know that deep down, yet due to your sunken cost fallacy, you cant bear to think that it is false. We will pray for you.
Thank you so much, we are currently planning to get married, he is a JW…I love him so much and it’s hard to leave him, I have been searching for videos here on RUclips, I guess I should pray for strength to leave him 😭😭😭
Are you a Christian who is planning on marrying a JW? If so- I know where your heart is at! It’s hard…. And our heart can be deceiving. If I were you, ( and if I could go back in time) … I would have done my research BEFORE getting married and lovingly explained why I couldn’t be married to someone who believes in a false Jesus and a whole slew of other things…. In hopes that it will get him to think, and research… leave the organization is NOT leaving Jehovah- it’s finding Jesus:) Then maybe in the future…. He will come to Jesus and then come back to you. Every marriage is hard though and every marriage has problems- but I can tell you, I believe God will honor your decision to point him to Jesus and walk away… if it’s meant to be, it will be. ❤️ Praying for you and him!
Please, please, please don't marry a JW. You will spend a lifetime living in regret. It may break your heart right now, but you will be brokenhearted for a lifetime if you marry him, to say nothing of the pain your children will endure-no birthday parties, ostracism by other kids, really a joyless childhood
@@sweethoneybee8518 Thank you so much for the advice and this video,I decided to end the relationships, honestly it hurts and feels like I won't find a better person than him but I think its better than being unhappily married.
@@jancollins6878 Imagine the horror of avoiding God dishonoring PAGAN celebrations. In a weird coincidence not one of the 25 Billion people who ever lived suffered 1 second of harm by not celebrating their birthday. That God damn Bible in Ecclesiastes 7:1 is stupid. We hate the Bible. If the Bible says something its a fucking lie.
Stumbled upon your video and wow, this is powerful testimony. I say this because I grew up as a JW and was a real believer the whole time in it, even as a little boy. I eventually stopped going because as I got older something didn’t feel right, but the damage was done, and now in hindsight I realize that it was a tramautic experience. I find it interesting that your husband was totally fine with having sex before marriage and did not feel intense shame. For me the shame was so intense that my body would such off and it would be impossible for my body to do what it needed to do. In fact, for me it caused very bad intamacy issues, which I realize now would never allow me to have a healthy relationship with someone. For example, my wife was the first person I ever had sex with, but even after getting married having sex felt so dirty and wrong to me. It’s what caused the tension in our relationship, and eventually lead to end my 16 year relationship with my wife. The rejection and invalidation I caused her was horrific and I own up to it being my fault. It was only later on when I realized that my feelings were caused by this trauma, that I was able to work on myself healing, that I got over it. However, the damage was done in our relationship and we were like two magnets pushing each other away. She was also a non believer. I appreciate your advice as I should pray about this. Btw I found Jesus. Holy Spirit led me back! Thanks for posting
TY for this video; it came at a time of great tribulation for me and my JW wife of 20+ years. By chance, do you have a link to your support group? Assuming we stay together, I’d love to hear others strategies on coping. Again, TY for your courage!
My ex-wife is a JW. She believes and listens more to GB teachings than to me. I think her husband is JW organisation and not me. We cannot talk in good terms. She called me apostate when I shared some errors in GB teachings. The last resort for me to separate from her. Even though, we are divorced. I hope she can see the true colour of GB wrong teachings.
There are supposed to be errors in GB Teachings..its prophesied that Gods people in the last days would be causing much harm and damage to us on earth. See rev 11:6. Clues are presented in the context (in the next few following verses)
I am watching your videos over and over because this sound so much like my life. The longing, the falling in love when it was "too late" to turn back, the intrigue because he was so knowledge in the word (hours of conversation). My aha moment....I never throughly I was the one to have to ask Jesus for forgiveness because he (husband) has always called me the non believer. Trying to talk religion never has a good outcome for us 😢
I hope you will join our fb group so we can chat more in there about the day to day stuff- and also encourage one another to persevere through this hardship facebook.com/groups/812516622726991/?ref=share
Please look up the word hallelujah it's meaning on youtube, next read revelation19:4 compare revelation 7:9,10-it talks about the one true God on the heavenly throne those who survive on earth will be united with all who are in heaven -saying hallelujah-its meaning ìs to praise the name of the one true God seated on his heavenly throne-also read 1timothy2:5compare john17:3 I promise you reading these scriptures will help your marriage
My wife still a witness I disassociated myself we have a wonderful marriage and we still do best woman I ever met in my life I'm one of the lucky ones oops I shouldn't said lucky 😂❣️👍
I'm an exjw who is now a Christian who attends church. My husband is still a jw. It's so hard. I pray they come to the Lord... all of our loved ones who are stuck in that cult. 🙏 RUclips search street preachers who preach to Jws. Very helpful to know how to talk to them using the scriptures.
I am a comparative religions researcher and a Christian. I have collected the Watchtowers material going back to the days of Charles Taze Russell and looking at the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society', there is overwhelming and solid prophetic failure claims concerning the end of the world. I have learned this about the Society, they claim to be God's channel of communication here on earth, they claim to be the faithful and discreet slave, and they have claimed to be a prophet. As I said their prophecies have a proven track record of 100% failure and then the leadership turned around and blamed it on the rank and file JW's for getting their hopes up too high! So my question to JW's is this: If the Watchtower Society is a false prophet, why should you believe the doctrines of a false prophet?
Wait- you married him when he was a “baptized” witness ? How did he not get disfellowshipped ? You’re trying to convert him- he’s trying to convert you- what a battle . Just live in unison as a married couple/ keep religion out of it you knew what you were getting into. Focus on your children
The Watchtower is calling the shots in his life and they control his beliefs. They are telling him what to believe, they can change interpretation of scripture because they lack the Holy Spirit.
marrying outside the faith is not a disfellowshipping offense in the Jehovah's witness faith structure. it is strongly discouraged. an elder would be removed from his position were he to do so. others in the congregation would be reproved, and be 'marked' as spiritually weak.
I am in your shoes. My husband wasn't a JW when we got married. there is no defending yourself, no changing their minds. Hard is not the word for it. I long for my husband and I to go to the same church, I pray every day that God shows him the right way, we have been together 14 years, he has been a JW for 4 years. good luck it is a struggle. You cant talk to them about JW's.
I was dating a jw but the relationship was so hard until he decided to breakup with me and met a fellow jw who he married later.. I really did love him but I believe I dodged a bullet because I'm a born again Christian and we always had conflict even in our relationship. Love is not enough to be married to a jw this cult is too controlling and they don't have limits..
I remember I woke up from jws during the time of dating another jw woman I tried to wake her up relationship ended she got married in 6 months to someone else and I left and started my brand new life
Was you a witnesses or not because you are not it’s because you put her at risk speaking form a spiritual sister. It’s not always good for us to be in a relationship or married someone outside our faith due to problems in the long term because it’s nothing in common That why milk it’s important to pay more attention to the red flags once’s it is their completely
I too are married to a jw,she is lovely woman puts no pressure on me because she knows what type of man i am.I have had to be very firm with the elders and tell them I am not interested but they keep persting;I enjoy the look on there face when I say NO Not Interested.
@@billynomates5482 who k owes what this 9 buffoons are planning from their forest in Warwick. What I mean mate is that this cult ruins lives, eventually as all of us have, your wife will go thru a bad patch in it which could be a bad experience for her. But with you as her rock she knows that you will be there for her always, she will need that.
@@billynomates5482 No mate. Leaving JWs happens to alot of people and when it does it can be devastating. Thankfully you will be there to support her. As regards to those 9 men in a forest, who knows what they are planning...
@@HenriettaMRiley thanks mate I hope that day comes,I will never trust those idol worshiped men either.i once prayed and asked if the blood rule is correct,the answer i got back is all lives are worth saving.i know its my own voice of reason.
I married a ex jw for 21 years. My marriage lasted 22 years prior to his passing and I can honestly say I had the most amazing marriage. I realize I married my husband not his religion. I realize that you have to protect your marriage from outside influences and for us it wasn't what we asked of each other it was more of what others wanted us to do. I learned being equally yoke was us living in union. We always worship in Christ and now that I look back I'm honor that as a wife I stood my course and I believe that is all anyone can do as a beliver. I say this to say we all fall short and just remember to always show your husband that you love him for him for who God made him and that you are committed to walking beside him as God shows him who he is. Especially in that religion - be blessed
Well, the marriage you describe sounds like the opposite of the woman I see in this video who clearly doesn’t walk beside her husband, even more against him as he need saving. Telling how big of a mistake her marriage is. I only taste the me and us against him and them, even gathering a support group. I don’t see much love coming out of this video. And her husband watching this video doesn’t help nor encourage to build up their marriage to become stronger, unless he demonstrates what he learns from God.
That is beautiful. I like your husband and i have never met him. Old fashioned romance and faithfulness is pure in Gods eyes and i love it. I hope you stay strong in the faith, its not easy to believe in Christ and follow His way but through persecution, we have each other and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in that still quiet and calm voice which comes with peace and assurance. Faith is evidence of things hoped for, and God uses faith as power but He does and uses it so well that its like the work of a magician, but the effects are genuine and long lasting. We all have that same ability and power when connected to the Holy Spirit.
Melissa, I can tell that you are a lovely person inside and out. I can see the love of God in you. You will win him and help him escape from the Watchtower indoctrination by continually showing him your Christian love. Just be aware that by your Facebook and RUclips, the other members of the cult will really see you as a “”threat to his spirituality “, but The Almighty is on your side. God Bless. Just subscribed.
Music to my ears and I hope that comes to Fruition. I am Definitely a threat to him “spiritually” … I used to be quiet and hide my feelings/thoughts and findings… but in recent years- have become much more vocal in sharing about them- and I can only say that it is because my feel are firmly planted in the Rock and God lives in me. Appreciate you subscribing and hope me sharing my story helps you and others in some way.
That’s nice. Because you cannot get divorced. Or actually HE cannot get divorced. Unless you are unalive. And until YOU become a Witness, you are STILL considered a “divided” family. Meaning, YOU are NOT one of THEM! So either wake up to the “truth”, or else remain as an “outsider”. Good luck to you. 😊
He can get divorced if he crawls on his knees to Elders and begs forgiveness and reports how she is “stumbling” him and he shoulda listened to the wise Elders, etc. The woman is always to blame, JW wife or not.
Why don't you just forget religion and focus on "earthly things" like your kids and enjoying quality time with each other. Do you realize that apologizing to God for marrying a person of another faith is an insult to your own children?
It’s not about “religion”… it’s about what the truth is … and what it is not. This culture seems to think there are a bunch of “truths” out there- but there is one truth- and that is Jesus… and if they have the wrong Jesus, they do not have the truth. Religion is mad made… this is spirituality. And I do focus my energy and time on my family. It’s impossible to wrap up my outlook on life in one little video- but I assure you my focus is on them. However, I would be a fool not to focus on eternal things… “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2 I apologized to God for Marrying my husband because I married him KNOWING God did not want me to. it felt right to apologize for disobeying him. It is not an insult to my children- they are the best thing that has come out of our marriage and I believe God can works all things together for good- like he is doing.
Oh my, this hit closer to home than any other video about JWs. I've been married to a JW for 32 years, and was in the EXACT same boat as you were. I fell in love with my wife, and didn't really know what JWs believed, but THOUGHT I could show her my belief system and she would just follow. Boy was I mistaken. So much so that I found out I didn't really know enough about my OWN beliefs; much less able to counter hers. Same thing happened with my folks. My father tried to tell us both how wrong this was, and her family never even tried to talk to me. One thing though, I have apologized to God, and my own father. But the Word does say NOT to put the unbelieving spouse away, because we don't know what the outcome will be. I wish we could talk face to face. I'm a bit older than you, but everything you said on this video is EXACTLY the same as what I have gone thru in my entire marriage. The blessing I try to look at, is how much closer I've drawn to God, and I can honestly say that I KNOW what I believe, and WHY I believe it. Although I have watched thousands of hours of apologetic videos, and can pretty much bury the average JW with REAL Bible Truth, I can only think of ONE JW that turned from their belief system and came to Christ. Maybe there are more, but each day I pray for the opening of the hearts of unbelieving JWs. They are close to my heart because they are mostly good people, but "good" people don't get saved. I can only call them "good' as compared to the dredge of this world. I will pray for you and your family, you pray for mine. Maybe someday we will both see the saving Grace of our Lord Jesus CHrist opened up to our spouses.
Omg I was too in the exact same boat as you. I was married to a Jws from 1991-2011. I could tell you stories on how diff-CULT it was. Everything from my relationship to children. She would not budge and was heavily indoctrinated. My marriage ended in 2011, long story she left me bc I believe it was the fact I would never become a jw. She was “friends” with a married male jw he left his wife. They eventually married in 2011 and are still married as of 2023.
@@pamelasloan1664 yes adultery was the case. He left his jw wife and she left me. They married right afterwards. I didn’t want to write a long drawn out story. Lol
@@Eternal_Life69 nor should you have to reveal something so private, I so sorry this has happened to you. Unfortunately it's the way this system has become and even though some profess to follow Jehovahs standards they fall away because of immorality, Jehovah forgives us if we are truly repentant he knows we are imperfect
I’m really sorry for what your going through. Your husband is in a very highly controlled religion. I was baptized at 14 and left when I was 33. First my exit was due to sin I was disfellowshipped. But it wasn’t until I stepped away and had my whole family stripped from me, my three sisters, both my parents and aunts and uncles and the only friends I had that I was able to have clarity of thought. I was no longer being controlled and was free to think for myself. I can tell you from experience that they do not have a personal relationship with God. They are told what to believe and wait for the direction of their Governing Body to tell them what to believe on a matter. It’s really sad because most of them are very kind hearted people. As I’m sure your husband is, being that you fell in love with him. I hope you guys can work through this and while we are hoping I hope he wakes up for the sake of his family. Please do not let Jw religion have anymore hold on your life. Sending you Christian love.
I'm catholic married to a jw for 30 years 4 kids. She was pregnant too when we got married. Figuring out a way through has been extremely hard. I had deep faith but once married lots of struggles in jw world. I agree that jws challenge your faith in all kinds of ways. Too many Christians Cruz through life without refining their faith through fire (spiritually speaking). I envy spiritually united married couples but who take it for granted and get lazy in their faith. The one thing I respect jws for is their zeal and that's about it. We're in a bad space now cuz walking on egg shells for 20+ years wears you down. Only takes one slip of frustration in saying the wrong thing and they can shut down.
Very similar situation …. Thank you for sharing. I understand the feeling of “walking on eggshells”…. I know you said you are in a hard place right now, but I hope this hard season passes and that you get to the top of the hill and get to celebrate one day soon. I too long to sit next to my spouse in church one day.
@@sweethoneybee8518 Hard place for sure. Wife just told me yesterday she was never in love with me. Married me cuz she was pregnant. She never wanted kids I did. She was trying to be what she thought I wanted hoping it would get me to convert. I always knew it deep down but to hear it said with a straight face almost angry looking took my breath away. I'm reeling but now I know I wasn't crazy. I'm hurt much more than I thought I would be because as I said I knew that already
@@sahara7839 sorry for what you’re going through…this is what happens when you pretend to be something you’re not. Your wife should’ve ripped the bandage off and just be honest.. she probably resented you for quite a long time. SMDH..
Incredible your husband must really be a very good compassionate and tolerant man at heart just shows that there are always some really good and tolerant souls within the jehovah witness congregation.👍👍
Ron is a fortunate man to have you as a wife. You are blessed of the Lord. How about your four children? Do they go to church with you or the kingdom hall with hubby?
Veey true! My son exclaims "Jesus" easily and the JW around us have ab issue with it. I try my best to keep us farrrrr away from theor double standards and ignorance! I keep praying for them
Funny how she thinks that a JW husband married to a "Christian" first would have to accept Jesus. ... Does she even KNOW JW doctrine. I would rather see a problem if he wants to leave JWs and their practice of shunning hits them. But maybe her religion / cult does the same. Being a JW is VERY time consuming (several meetings, ministry by preaching the gospel door to door), and if she does not accompagny him to his meetings they cannot even spend that time together. Plus if he takes his cult seriously he will think that she is going to perish during Armageddon, and maybe also the kids ... speaking of which - Are they raised in her belief system or in his.
Hi SweetHoneyBee. Just found your vid & channel. Great vid and great subject. I'm exjw too and have an exjw channel. Yes I escaped the cult and abusive marriage. My ex was not a JW... JW teaching repeatedly quote 1Peter 3 for JW wives when they have an "unbelieving" husband so they (the husband) can be "won over to the faith". ... It never worked in my marriage but anyway, I just wanted to say great job on the video. Please be aware that if your husband has rejoined and is now a practicing JW, they are very heavily indoctrinated when attending all those meetings and within the literature. And JWs speak out publicly in a very negative way from their platforms about "wicked Christendom" which is every christian religion except JWs, at least they did when I used to be a jw. If he is now a practicing jw (or even just a jw believer not practicing) and becomes aware of this public video, it may not go down well with him and his congregation elders. The moment a person speaks out publicly against JWs, the JWs are indoctrinated to believe that that person is an "apostate". They used to teach an apostate was just somebody who left JWs and spoke out publicly against JWs but not anymore. Every person speaking out publicly is considered "apostate" by the average JW. To a JW, an apostate is viewed as more wicked than the worst criminal. An apostate in the JW religion is described as "sinning against the holy spirit" and will have no place for God's forgiveness. To a JW and their unbelieving family members, it's a very serious matter! It's very shocking and frightening for a JW to be confronted with an apostate situation and what they are brainwashed into believing what an apostate is. Even the word apostate wells up a frightening spirit within a JW person. I know from experience after losing my jw sisters and we were all very close in our hearts to one another. They will avoid an apostate at all costs, believing it will protect their own life and what they believe to protect the lives of their children at Armageddon, soon to arrive. A JW will go into survival mode and shunning and avoidance of the "apostate" will begin no matter how much they love or like a person. It's an automatic response of being taught it's how you show to God that you "love Jehovah God more than any other human". Unfortunately, JWs are taught to love with conditions. So please be careful with everything surrounding the subject of speaking out with your YT channel and FB. JW stuff creeps into every nook and cranny of one's life and one's marriage. It's amazing that you have been able to keep your marriage together for this long and not let him passively change you into becoming a JW and allowing your children to not get indoctrinated. Unfortunately the biggest majority of JWs will have an alterior motive for being friendly to other people ie to try and win them over to become a JW. I hope and pray you and your children never get indoctrinated into the JW cult. Hugs sister 🤗. Trusting all you pray for comes to be true.
I just started watching your video but I have to say God bless you, sister. I have dad and cousins in this and I’m praying for them and I will pray for your husband to know Jesus as lord and savior and to be free of the yolk of WTBS🩷
My wife and I were married in the kingdom hall as we were both witnesses. I later was found by the lord and I am so grateful. My wife still is a believer in the nonsense coming from this vile organization while I have Jesus as my lord and master. Yeah it's tough being in such a marriage.
Even Jessus said to pray first to JEHOVA FATHER and not to him,so I don't know why you don't doing this, and tell which religion plead the Holly book like Jehova witnesses?, no one, couse others they don't care about others unfortunately 😔😔😔😔
If you have great love for each other it will work it's worked for me when I think of evenly yoked I think of eggs and now I'm hungry great video sister keep up the good work
@Gaetano DeTorrice. God bless you for your faithfulness. Your wife is being 'sanctified', so to speak by your obedience. You will be rewarded. I know my Dad has been. He just died in September 2021 at age 91 after being married to my 4th generation Mom for 68 years.
I grew up as a witness. My dad converted after my parents got married. He forced us kids to be raised as witness and because my women are supposed to be submissive, my mom had no say. My dad dominated the whole house. All I can say is love, respect, communicate, with each other. I can see that it can work with all of this, however stop trying to convert or change each other. You can only do you. Religion can/will cause a wedge if you try to force it on others. You are not responsible to make him change his religion, or to interrogate, or to tear his religion down.
@@sweethoneybee8518 Lets say im agnostic. I want absolutely no part of any organized religion. I do not think you need to attend a church to be religious and/or spiritual. I had way too much crammed down my throat growing up. I have to say im tired of being preached to/at.
As rev 11:18 describes the need for God to intervene before humankind ruins the earth.. That same chapter refers to the 3rd temple which is to allow right minded people to worship God acceptably in the last days of this system of things. Those involved in true worship are told ..AUTHORISED by The Almighty ..to strike earth with plagues..referring to Gods people as the two witnesses/ prophets.
I'm not married to a jw, but I'm married to a immature Christian, and that's hard too. My husband is very selfish which hurts a lot. I'm always trying to show him the blessing that come with being self sacrificing, but it's like he believes he needs to look out for himself, he makes me feel very unloved at times. However, the way he is has made me grow closer to jesus, and jesus is more my husband than my physical husband is. And maybe God will cover our husbands through us. The bible says the unbelieving spouse can be sanctified through the believer. I count my husband as an unbeliever because he depends more on his self than God. He knows about God, but he doesn't trust him with his life.
@Eloise Ramsey. You can somewhat tell if he is believer or not by whether he experiences God's discipline or not. That usually shows up by repeated patterns, such as continual difficulty with fellow employees or bosses, even if he changes jobs. Does he continue to have adverse circumstances financially, or with his health?, etc.
@KGC. That's sad. I hope God turns things around for you. You did your part. If your ex doesn't come to Christ, maybe He has someone else for you. You're not under bondage to the marriage any more since he abandoned you.
WAIT A SEC.!!! Jehovahs Witnessess ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IN the Lord Jesus Christ. He is The KING of GODS KINGDOM! He is King ANOINTED BY HIS FATHER AND GOD, JEHOVAH. Listen Folks, heres the deal. The APOSTLE PAUL who was HANDPICKED by Christ himself. Who also wrote 14 books of the Inspired word, (Bible) said unequivocally; BLESSED BE THE FATHER AND "GOD" OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS. So Jesus has a GOD AND THATS WHO JWS WORSHIP!!!!!! So her Husband is SIMPLY WORSHIPPING WHO JESUS WORSHIPS!!!!!! Where as his wife DOES NOT acknowledge GOD AND WORSHIPS THE SON! THATS SIN. GOD DOES NOT SHARE HIS WORSHIP NOT EVEN WITH HIS SON!!! DID THE ISRAELITES (GODS PEOPLE) WORSHIP JESUS? NO. THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW HIM. SHE IS WRONG. Jesus should be deeply honored and followed because all things are subject to him. But WE ARE ALL SUBJECT (INCLUDING JESUS) TO GOD.
Ask him if women also went to heaven as anointed bekngs. He should say yes. Show him Revelation 14 : 1-4. Also show him Rev 7: 1-8. It destroys their 144000 doctrine.
I’m curious Did your husbands parents attend the wedding? I can imagine it may have been worse on his part to marry a “worldly” woman. I’m praying for your journey God Bless!
I know it's common for people to talk about "asking Jesus into your heart," but that's not Biblically accurate. It's a form of "Christianese," which is not Biblically accurate (Scripture doesn't tell us to do so. It tells us to trust only in Jesus' sacrifice. It also predictably creates a problem of assurance of salvation because asking Jesus into the heart doesn't save). It confuses the end with the means. Also, it's counterproductive with JWs because they are taught NEVER to "invite Jesus into their heart" (or life) because they will get a demon instead. It's best to present the Gospel by showing from John 3 through the example of the serpent being lifted up that it was a one-time event (which is why Jesus used it as context for 3:16 and it refutes the mistranslated idea of 'exercising faith'). I know a lot about this because I was raised in a situation where my Christian Dad was married to my fourth-generation JW Mom. Dad just died and now we kids are focused on trying to accurately and simply continue to present the Gospel to my 89 year old mom who has dementia. Blessings.
Lets be clear about this: JWs do believe that there is no salvation in anyone else except Jesus (Acts 4:12). Calling them unbelievers, and making these efforts to gather people in opposition to Jehovah is not the best way to go. It does not make up for your own inadequacies, nor does it solve any emotional problems you may have. You have a loving husband who dwells with you in peace, and you have healthy children. Your reasons for joy are abundant. There is no need for war. Nobody seem to be fighting YOU, except YOU.
Let me be clear about this. You either preach the gospel from what God's word says or you have another Jesus that's FALSE! She isn't trying to" start a war"... she is trying to get him saved by Grace though the Jesus!! JOHN 14:6 AND JESUS SAID: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, no man comes to the Father but by me. If you read scripture you would know that NO ANGEL IN HEAVEN OR ANYONE ELSE HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SINS! JW's believe that Jesus was Michael the Archangel and he wasn't bodily resurrected but in a spirit form. They have prophesized the end of the world multiple times (wrong of course) and now they claim " Jesus" took to the throne in 1914. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before. They are Unbelievers.
@@danielduhon7781 144,000 are the very important people who we know will make it to Heaven. For example we know for certain Elijah is a part of the 144,000 as he's already in Heaven. More than likely after Judgment Day, Abraham and Moses will be a part of the 144,000. Most Jehovah's Witness do not claim to be a part of the 144,000 as we take Heaven very seriously unlike other Christian denominations where Heaven appears to be a big party.
Thanks for sharing your experience, your father is so kind and didn’t shun you. What about his parents? They will shun their own family that doesn’t repent, did they attend the wedding? Or he was not DF?
I have had spouses of JWs in my Bible study. I found that making scripture clearer and taking JWs arguements and breaking them down bit by bit is helpful. I believe I helped the woman, maybe, save her marriage ( though I'm still torn if that is a good thing or not). She admitted that i helped to be stronger in her fait . being knowledgeable about scripture and understanding the history of salvation gave her " ammunition " to withstand the almost daily struggle she has being married to a JW. I question the reasons any JW would marry outside of their sect. I never could withstand a constant belittling and anger that JWs have toward non believers. Marrying a JW is like doing penance for the rest of your life for the sin of marrying Into JWs.
when she was a young child, she studied for a small period of time and then stopped for a long time. her grandmother is the one that planted the seed in her, while her mother has never been a witness. i met her 2 years ago, and last year is that she started studying again and "drawing closer." i, on the other hand, believe in god but am not religious or come from a religious family. we're in love, but the issue moving forward is that she can "marry only in the lord". what advice do you have for my situation?
@Erick Luenzo. Whether or not you are a Christian, STEER CLEAR from any relationship with a Jehovah's Witness. It's not all about you and your happiness, although if you go through with this to its logical conclusion, you will see MUCH unhappiness. The Watchtower's view of you is so negative (it is of EVERYONE who's not a JW), that it is going to be almost impossible for that attitude not to rub off on your significant other. If you marry a JW, YOUR KIDS' LIFE WILL BE HELL. It's not fair to them. If I sound negative here, I have a right to. I was/am one of those kids. I'm now 62, but the years have not erased those memories of household friction, nor the sadness of realizing that if my Dad had married a Christian like himself, life would have been easier. It's still painful looking at my 89 year old Mom and seeing the lack or peace she is experiencing because of her devotion to the Watchtower (even with dementia). Even through eight years of dementia, my Dad NEVER experienced the lack of peace that my Mom does, even though he was 91 when he died. The Watchtower is such an Orwellian type of group, that for years, they even tried to dictate the sexual activities between husbands and wives in their own bedroom. I think you need to do a LOT a research on this group, because I don't think you have that much knowledge about all the ways they will attempt to undermine your authority in a marriage and with your future kids. In the non-sexual areas of your life, you will not be able to experience the 'oneness' you would like to in the other areas of life (politics, hobbies, leisure, etc.). They will cause much friction because they will always be intruding on the amount of time you would like be able to spend with a spouse. They place a LOT of pressure on how many meetings a week, study, door-to door witnessing, etc. that their people need to be involved in.
Look up Supernatural Conference Michael Heiser on RUclips. It’s a long lecture but absolutely great! He mentions JW’s misunderstanding of the trinity too
You're in a tough situation but there is hope. He will eventually open his eyes, make him watch the Vice documentary on Jehovah witness it came out last week on 7/28. He will be shock to see what is going on in the organization...is he making you watch the zoom meetings? That's pure torture right there.
I didn’t know about that documentary- thank you! I’ll check it out and hopefully he will see it too. I do not watch the meetings. But he makes our children sit and watch ( they agree- pure torture)
@@sweethoneybee8518 wait a minute...are u saying that u allowed him to raise your children as JWs? Oh my goodness...that changes everything. I was sympathetic to u till that. I'm a Christian and I would never allow that to happen and u know that God hates that. You have to save those children.
i hope he wakes up. keep praying for him. There are counselors out there. i recommend shunnedpodcast.com. he can help. not expensive either . He will help. P.S. dont let your husband take the kids to the Kingdom halls.
I am a Christ loving Christian my husband was raised JW he has never been a JW but he hates Christians with a passion as they are taught to.

Hi, i just need guidence, i'm a christian who fell in love with a JW, it's a special case because he had stopped studying and then we started dating, i am really in love with him but he wanted to study again the bible so we broke up, i really don't know if we can keep dating, we had talked about getting married but in a future. I am heartbroken because we are really in love but we can't date. I know studying will make him happy and for that i am happy but it really hurts to not be together. i wanted to go with him to the reunions but i'm not so sure about it, i don't know what to do.
Vanessa- I feel your pain… I vividly remember breaking up with my now spouse many times before we got pregnant and then engaged. I think deep down I knew I should not be with him, but kept getting pulled back in because love is blinding and you think it can conquer all- at least that’s what I told myself. If I could go back to my younger self… I would tell myself to fall in love with Jesus, know his word and focus on that relationship more, know how to share the gospel message ….share it with him, let him know I loved him and then walked away out of obedience to God. Then, let God do His thing. If y’all are meant to be together, than you will be- but God warns us not to be unequally yoked for a reason. It is hard! . It’s all fine and dandy if they are inactive and just dabbling, it’s actually attractive to see a man study the Bible- but once they are all in - it is all consuming, and controls so many areas of life. I would truly advise you to share the gospel with him, then walk away and don’t get back together until he has been born again and your ready for him to be the spiritual leader of you and your future kids. 🤍 . My hearts feels your pain- and I know it’s not an easy choice. Pray always … God will whisper to you what to do ;)
I don’t believe he is superior to God either. But the question is…. When he humbled himself and came into the world as a human- what was his nature before that? The Bible tells us: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:5-11 He was in the FORM of God… he absolutely was not Micheal the Archangel. Prayers for you to find the Truth in Jesus ❤️
@@sweethoneybee8518 many times he is called a God a lord and a King and there's nothing wrong with referring to him as such. We do, our whole religion is actually central to Jesus and his role in our redemption from sin via his death. He's just not at par with God in OUR understanding of the scriptures. On the archangel issue that's a topic that really needs time because as it stands we already have fundamental differences. I'm genuinely not here to argue or negate your personal experience.
Jesus is NOT God, nor did he claimed to be. The Jehovah witnesses got it right even if the world detests them. That's one sure sign of they having plenty of the truth on their side. Many of you all truly need to go back and learn!!!
Your Jesus has no power cause your Jesus is not God, you rely on your works to save you how good you practice as a ladder to earthy paradise. When you say the means this means this word says it all it had to be done so we can have our organization as it is today.
I've been studying attending meetings for many many years and I love Jehovah god and Jesus and his word the bible love my life of serving Jehovah. Nicest thing I can say to all my Jehovah's witness sisters is I've never thought any of the brothers were attractive especially the married brothers. I'm serious whole time I've attended meetings and still to this day and I'm happy single but I love respect all my brothers sisters but I'm just not attracted to any of the brothers or any men attend meeting s but I really really appreciate what the brothers sisters teach me most important that's my purpose I'm doing this for Jehovah god and to try to work out my salvation inherit gods promises and help others work out their salvation inherit gods promises I'm not doing this for a husband I don't want no husband but even if they were single not my type never will be .I really believe their wife's are only ones think they are but that is a real good thing to know that the most up building words I can say to my sister's encourage keep up good work serving god and taking care of your families great job because the couples in our congregation have been together since I first started meetings and all these years later over 7 years still together strong marriages strong spiritual family I just got to say good job
If you read the Bible, even the altered NWT, and compare to the teachings of the WT and you will see it doesn’t match up and the Bible itself will tell you they are a false prophet
very similar story she told me she was pregnant so we got married but months later I found out she was not pregnant. The only good thing that came from the marriage was three beautiful children. We divorced 12 years later I had the pleasure of raising all three of my children, not as Jehovah's Witnesses. It's unfortunate, but she was never a part of their life. They are all good people.
I'm married to A brother in the congregation so he's been struggling with the pass So we are good but others are trying to break us up. Because of several hurtful incidents with brothers trying to talk to me and get me in trouble If just said no. I didn't need another rejection
WOW this is a twist. It’s always JWs getting counseled not to marry non-witnesses but honestly, this makes more sense. Hopefully he does accept Christ and becomes Born-Again. Peace
My encouragement to you is let love lead. Think about this...... while we were sinners christ died for us. It's only by the spirit of God that anyone could come to know christ. I believe God is always saying something concerning our situation and where we fall short is our inability to know the mind of God. One revelation from God concerning your situation will change everything. The wisdom of men will not work so don't even ask for it. Curse is anyone who put his trust in a man. Go on your knees with prayer and fasting and i believe you will receive a revelation from God that will bring light to your situation. I pray the grace of God will be sufficient for your family. Shalom
Ask your husband if he believes that JEHOVAH GOD is a JEALOUS GOD. ASK IF DOUBTING THOMAS BELIEVES IN JEALOUS GOD. Take him to john 20 vs 28. We will pray for your husband.
Yessss!!!!! “My Lord and My God” - I quote that all the time. And the first time he saw it, he was totally thrown off and didn’t know what to say. Thanks for praying for him!
As an ex Jehovah's Witness its a real conundrum for you both . All i can say is i know i couldn't be married to someone with very different religious views to me , that would be an absolute nightmare. 😐
@@markxnex973 you're brainwashed dude. I read the Bible without the Watchtower and that's how I woke up. Jesus is God dude. Just read John chapter 1 and 1 John 5:19, 20.
@@caroldanvers265 no i am not reading from a Bible that was written from a man. Jehovah doesnt want that and lemme guess you dont even know what our religion is about and youve never been to it because allllll of your evidence is from these morons who claim we are a cult and we are brainwashed and yet you call us brainwashed while your watching videos about people who are ACTUALLY BRAINWASHED BY SATAN.
Let me tell you something sister I left 2018 I've been associated with witnesses since 1973 I got married 2016 to witness woman she's wonderful and I left I wrote my letter of disassociation and I left and we're still together we have a happy marriage she's great she knows when she has it good I'm not your normal witness I'm like a rebel witness I did at least as possible and I never hung out with anybody I had my own friends that I had since I was in school that never changed so when I left it was like another day didn't even mean anything ❤️👍😂
Remember this lovely lady . The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you . That same spirit with the powe of pray can turn your husband around . No weapon formed against you can prosper. When the😮 enemy comes in like a flood God will raise up a standed. You are walking in victory. No pray no power. God is on your side
I was a JW who married a believer and at first I thought he wasn’t the believer! But I also married him at a time when I started having doubts about my faith. He did what he could to support me as a witness but made it very clear that he would never change his beliefs or convert to JW. We constantly argued about where our kids would go. Until one day I decided to give his church a try. Fast forward. I got saved and rebaptized there and have never gone back to the kingdom hall. My family shunned me at first but they’re over it now. Our marriage is definitely better.
Keep making videos. You are meeting a real need. God has used this situation to grow you up in the Lord and deepen your faith. Two of my family members became JWs forty years ago and that was what made me realize I needed to study my Bible to be able to rightly handle the Word of truth. What the enemy means for destruction God intends for good. God is so good!
Our oldest son married a JW when he was young. He knew that she was a JW, although not a practicing one. He thought he could change her. We warned him. He didn't pay attention. Their marriage has produced two beautiful children and they are being raised JW. Our son is an alcoholic and it affects his family, and breaks our heart, too. The JW do not believe in AA, so our son is now saying he is a JW (on Facebook) and not to us personally. He was raised a Christian and was very active in our church while growing up. We think that he is being brainwashed and thinks that only the JW can help him with alcoholism. We do not know for sure. Pray for us, for him, his wife, and his children, please. I beg you. Btw: her mother, her two brothers, and her sister have left the JW and this gives us hope.
This is upsetting. The elders have no formal training to deal with alcoholism. That is a medical need. They have no formal, professional training to deal with any matters. It’s a group of men that have been appointed based on how many hours they spend in the ministry, do they comment enough at meetings, etc. Then once appointed they are given a book, a manual on how to handle to different situations based off of what the “governing body” has approved. Which is another group of men that call all the shots for the entire organization. It’s a really messed situation and I hope your son gets the help he needs. Lots of people with addictions fall into deep depressions in that religion because they never receive the help they need and are made to feel spiritually weak because they are told they don’t have enough faith. Don’t give up hope. Sending you Christian Love
Don't know where you get the idea that Jw's who have an alcohol problem can not go to AA as that is a lie they encourage people to get help with a problem I think your confused maybe with scientology
I am a recovering alcoholic with a little over 13 years of sobriety. Alcoholism is a deadly disease and I cannot understand why JW is against AA when they do not push any belief system on you. It's about helping your fellow alcoholic to get sober.
Girl, you are mistaken. I think your husband didn’t explain anything to you. JWs pray all the time and we pray through Christ and talk to him and thank him for dying for the mankind. It seems you are just as indoctrinated as he is.
As far as I'm aware they are not against AA if they can help I'm sure it's ok as long as they don't direct against Jehovah's wishes that are laid out in the bible for all to see
Im married to a jw ,been married 50 years joined jw in 1963, i woke up to Jesus about 5 years ago. I am faded out of jws ,my wife does the jw zoom meetings twice a week for 2 hours and letter writing one hour , i manage to get to christian church 2 or 3 times a month for 30 min communion service , we have a sort of truce . People at church dont really understand why i cant just publicly leave the jw org .they are shocked by the shunning policy . Im 76 my wife 71. Im so happy to have a relationship with the Lord Jesus christ now .my wife and i still do our bible reading together and pray together , i ask the lord often to guide me .when i first woke up it was the night of the memorial ,i got to thinking about Jesus and the way he suffered for us .i prayed to jesus to show me if i was right to get out of WT ,that night i woke troubled at 3 :16 .on the digital clock .that was my answer .
What a testimony. I’m so happy for you and will pray for your wife.
How do y’all pray together/ knowing that you believe in two very different gods?
I struggle praying with my husband for that reason
@@sweethoneybee8518 as i said to my wife the name Jehovah has been familiar to christians in the anglican and catholic church for years ,so calling God jehovah does not bother me at all .the WT does not have copyrights on Gods name as in the old king james bible .and american standard version .if we accept the trinity the father son and holy spirit are all God .thanks for reply .
@@sweethoneybee8518Jesus Christ sent all of you to preach about the Jw's or satan the devil sent all of you to preach about the Jw's?????????
Well even Jesus Christprayed to his father Jehovah. So i read you prayed to Jesus. Your wife is a JW you better be elated because wives cheat and leave their husbands so often
My husband was married to me for 11 years and put up with me as a JW raising out 3 kids JW. Bless his heart. I recently found out how "tweaked" we are and decided to leave completely this past Sunday. All I can tell you is that if he married you as a non-JW he is not 100% in. He does have doubts deep down, and there are so many amazing exJW channels here on YT that could help him. I am sooooo sorry, I'm so sorry! I feel your pain just the other way around. Wishing you a lot of patience, hoping your hubby can wake up. It's deeep indoctrination.
Thank you so much for making this video.
I am 63 year old and Christian (follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, believing in the trinity) deeply in love with a 62 year old man who is JW. We have been friends for 15 years. He’s widowed and so am I. We’re a young 62 and 63 old. We’re not going to get married but that doesn’t take away the love I have for him.
I recently found out that he was an actual elder in the JW faith. Mind blown on that one 🤯 I don’t have the energy to go back and forth with him about our faiths.
I will need to resolve my feelings about this man and grieve the relationship I thought would eventually end in marriage.
God looks at you both with great love. How wonderful to enjoy such a loving friendship! ❤ I admire you both so much!
Oh my God thank you for doing this video. You are God sent. Today I needed to hear this. I am married to a Jehovah witness for 11 years it has been soooo hard. I have days that I don’t think I can continue like this. But you are right God has been with me I don’t know what would be of me if not for our Heavenly Father.
That’s because your spirit is grieved over JW’s doctrines… Stay strong brag on Jesus lift Jesus up glorified The Father through the Son/stay bless
Thank you for making this video. I was trying to find the support group and im hvaing trouble minding it. I am currently dating a JW and i have been learning a lot about his religion and have even gone to a few meetings. Itd be great to be able to talk to you more about and get your advice. I pray to God everyday about our situation. I do want to stay with him and he feels the same way.
facebook.com/groups/812516622726991/
Feel free to join our support group- we have several other who are dating/engaged to JWs and still on the fence about entering marriage.
I can’t remember if I said this isn’t the video or not…. If you have a relationship with Jesus and consider yourself to be one of his followers- I would really caution you not to enter into a covenant marriage with an active JW ( or anyone that hasn’t given themselves to the Lord)… I’m not saying he is not the man for you, but probably not right now. Take a stand in your faith and do not marry him ( yet) until he has a relationship with Jesus- meaning he has talked to him and asked him to be his Lord and Savior. Learn from me- and others who have walked in your future shoes, You do not want a JW being the head of your household. They are wonderful people with good hearts- but being fed spiritual food poisoning everyday.
Praying for you and your boyfriend. 🙏🏻
One thing you must know which is the harsh part of life and what's that?? You are UNBELIEVER for him and he is UNBELEIVER for you and this part you need to look into very carefully, my girl who is JW LEFT me saying that i am an UNBELEIVER and i was shocked core to my heart (still i dont blame her as my parents were not in favour of our marriage). Incase you need some help you can talk with me just in case as i have dated a wonderful JW girl who left me recently.
I was jw when I married my also jw husband, after about 14 years of our marriage with 3 kids , I realized that the jw religion is not s true religion as it claims. I left the religion for christ, this increased problems we experienced in our marriage, I couldn't take, I chose christ over him. We are on separation now and divorce is the next level to go.
Watchtower Governing Body of JW’s teach King Jesus is Michael the Archangel/That Jesus was murder when actually He gave His life freely/He laid down His Life for the remission of sins not for protecting His Father according to their doctrines/That Jesus died only Spiritually/ not physically.That our Mediator King Jesus is for the 144,000 only but the Governing Body is the Mediator for JW’s church members … always discrediting Calvary’s Cross of Christ that He was nailed to a pole/ the stake… that’s just the beginning
@@hildehausikujohannes7664 I applaud you. But how do you deal with others telling you divorce is not an option?
My wife is a pregnant JW, and im studying, 😅 i told her that if she loses blood and it jeopardizes her and my son's life during labor i will give her blood, because ill be damned to let both die to then watch a governing body update next month and they get new light regarding blood transfusions, she got quiet, with no protest. Also tell the elders you need money in these economic times, and see what happens. No protest. It's all good in theory but when real life shit happens things get real. She said someone is in trouble for having a gun in their home. I again said so I guess if someone breaks in and assaults you I'm going to stand and watch and call a brother the next day, no I'm protecting you. Again no protest.
Sorry they will have influence over u befor u know it
Look into the Australian Royal Commission (ARC). This is what woke me up after being a JW from birth to age 23. GB member straight up lying on the stand about policies that have been DRILLED into our heads for years.
As a parent, i believe you would appreciate seeing Australian lawyers confront local elders about policies that actually create a harmful environment for children by not requiring elders to report SA to local authorities. This happens frequently and many times elders have a "get out of jail free" card since they hold all the power over the congregation.
There's a reason the GB instructs the sheep to get information exclusively from them. They want their little sheep to obey and not ask questions so they can maintain control.
Good for you for protecting your pregnant wife and baby! When I was in, way back in the 70’s, my husband did not protect his family. If i or my child needed blood, he’d say no. I argued that I would save life and I was reported by him, “removed”, shunned, and he was told he was justified in leaving me as I was a rebellious rather than submissive woman for PROTECTING my little family. It was awful. Your wife and child are blessed to have you. ❤
Oh my goodness! I just came across your video and I thank you for so honestly and boldly sharing. I am in the same situation. Married only two years to a JW believer and follower because he is not baptized. I've been told by my husband that we pray to two different God's 😢 It is very heartbreaking.
I’m so glad they have been helping you. If you want to join our Facebook group “Christian spouses of JW’s 👫” - please find more of us there! It’s helpful to know we’re not the only ones in this situation
@@sweethoneybee8518 , thank you I will look again. I've been looking since you mentioned it in your video but cannot find it. The enemy works in so many ways. Do you know the panhandle for the page?
its easy for baptized male to get a non believer.
He is not baptized. That is good! ❤
I’m an EXJW of 38 years. I know it hurts that you believe he isn’t saved, but he was taught that you are the one who isn’t saved. JWs do not believe once saved, always saved.
You’re both praying for the same thing. You’re both convinced you’re right and the other is wrong and that’s what’s wrong with religion. Rather than focus on the kind of humans you are, and live in the present, you’re both worried about all the wrong things.
Also, he married “out of the truth” and that means he married a “worldly girl”. There will always be judgement of you and him from the JWs. JWs actually call themselves Christians also, so you’re really deep into the speaking the same exact language with a different accent.
JWs do not believe ANYONE but them are true Christians.
If you need a resource, I’m here for you.
Hi Wendy- That’s so true…. But in his mind… I’ll just be conscious of nothing. I’ve mentioned to him ….. “sooooo… you think I deserve the same punishment as Hitler? Just conscious of nothing?” 🥲…. In my mind, he will be separated from God from eternity. I’ve often told him “I’d rather go to your version of hell then to be a JW and have no assurance of where I stand with God” 🤷🏼♀️
If you don’t mind me asking- what we’re a few of the things that made you leave the organization?
Hey, I was going to mention the same things to her. I was raised jw. I left at 50yrs old. I waisted my whole life trying to measure up for the Borg. They day I got baptized I was told everything is gonna get harder and worse for you from now on.
@@sweethoneybee8518 why did you married him in the first place? Makes no sense if you want him to be a christian than staying a cult member go to church and refuse to go to his cult or his watchtower meetings or his cult building claiming it's a church stay in your faith your true Christian religion I pray you be the miracle to refuse to join his cult and continue go to yours hopefully that convinces him to leave the Jehovah's witnesses if that doesn't work let him go
@@sweethoneybee8518 I left for sooo many reasons - you can look at my channel as I’m an activist to help others. For the sake of this convo, basically I left for two reasons: 1) their doctrine is wrong 2) it’s a cult.
The real problem is The bible itself comes under the same scrutiny ~~~~~Its a simple childs question ~How do you know what the Bible writers wrote down in the first place is true ~~since the writers are using literary devices ?
You just said the most important part of your message, if I hadn’t married him I wouldn’t be the Christian I am today. I’m sure it’s been hard on you, but you chose this, try being the child of he’s. I wasn’t asked and I didn’t have the choice. I was born into it, and I was bitter over it for years until I realized I wouldn’t be the Christian I am if I hadn’t been put in it. We have been refined through our struggles, just pray the lessons not be wasted. Yes you chose it, yes it might have been different, but I do not believe in mistakes in Gods Kingdom. You have a purpose and a mission. Continue to help others even if he never changes, it’s not your place or ability to change or save him. And above all praise God you are not lost as he is. God bless
I can relate to that, let me tell you, a very stunch jw lady, wanted for us to get married, but what I knew about Jesus Christ, I just couldn't do it 😢
Thank you so much for sharing. I really needed to hear this.
God bless you! God is on the work on him as he did with you. I will be praying for a video from you telling as the wonderful news.
Sounds to me like you love him very much In my opinion there’s no reason for either one of you to apologize to God. Marriage is just difficult whether you share the same faith or not. But it’s dope to see that the both of you are living up to your vows. God has to be happy for that 🙏🏾😇
the guy is a great husband, more knowleagable of the bible, dont cheat....and yet she complains
Thanks for sharing. The good thing is that you have 4 lovely children with a man you love. You should give him some hints in areas he should study in JW doctrine as he need to figure this out himself. You are so strong.
I'm not married to a JW but one of my best friend is JW and she would benefit to really study as she is so into it.. hard!
That’s very true… so much to be thankful for.
The topics that come up the most are 1914, who Jesus says he is and the physical resurrection ( the first time I asked him this- he said of course he was physically resurrected- and I told him that was boy what the watchtower taught- of course he changed his mind and said it was spiritual.
What hints would you suggest I have him focus on?
I just saw the second part of your message about your JW friend- praying that the Holy Spirit will direct her and guide her to the teachings that will open up her spiritual eyes
@@sweethoneybee8518 I have been thinking so much about this but I'm so scared to push as their training is to avoid listening. Each time I have said something I can see that they have doubts but are trained not to take it any further.
I have said to other JWs that why are you coming to us to question our faith and not listen to our false leaders when it's only the GB that are allowed to do "research" and then come up with these 180 degrees turn around in New Light.
I think the Shepard of the flock reading would be a wake up call for any JW husbands and wives. It shows the how the organisation should work and its not a loving arrangement...just a structure to get people scared to stay...
@@sweethoneybee8518 You might want to try the issue of 607 B.C. for the destruction of Jerusalem being the source of their 1914 chronology. If it goes, everything following it goes. You might ask him "Honey, could you show me quality sources (not Watchtower) that affirm the 607 date is the correct date for the destruction of Jerusalem?" He shouldn't be able to, because the 586-587 chronology is accepted by all (or almost all) qualified academics - even secular ones. Hopefully he would try hard to show you the so-called 'truth' abou the date, but would realize there's a real problem there. There are a few other sources under "Jehovah's Witnesses, chronology" in the bibliography that I put together. If not, you might ask the Holy Spirit to direct you towards a topic (there are quite a few listed) that would do the most to destroy your husband's trust in the Watchtower. archive.org/download/english-spanish-books-for-ex-jws-jws-others-11-9-21/ENGLISH%20%26%20SPANISH%20BOOKS%20FOR%20EX-JWS%2C%20JWS%20%26%20OTHERS%2011-9-21.doc
Unfortunately jehovahs witnesses use that very scripture against others too.
Religion divides more than unites.
EXAACTLY.
Yesss
yes my girl who is JW left me saying that i am an UNBELEIVER. Sometimes i think we dont need religion on this earth.
She said Accept Jesus but the VERSION of Jesus she believes ....she believes Jesus is Son of God almighty and also the God almighty basically Jesus is his own father Jehovah ...JWs believe Jesus is not his own father the almighty Jehovah but believe he is the son God sent from heaven to die for humans as a ransom, but he is not the Jehovah of the Old testament......using the analogy of Superman....the evangelicals believe Superman is Jor-el, not Kal-el they believe cause Kal-el came from Krypton and Jor-el is from Krypton ....that means they are the same person so Superman is his father Jor-el
@@moisesbeyond your analogy doesn't work bc your analogy has two different people and doesn't include the essence of GOD. Also the names would be titles or names. So using your analogy the Triune essence of God working in unison would be equivalent to: Before creation it's self, before the cosmos before the angels at the very very beginning existed a void. Within that void resides a powerful, unseen "Jor-el" or creator force. A force with no visual representation, but with a consciousness. That force speaks an audible sound, "Let there be light." Boom. Creation is spoken into existence. First the spiritual realm where the Angels reside, then the cosmos. The Angels can see the visual representation of the Jor-el. They get to know the Jor-el, who's holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el is the spirit and word of the Jor-el. He's spirit and has holds a physical state, too. He looks different from them. They see Kal-el create everything else, including humans. Kal-el makes man in his image and likeness. The Angels see that humans have a spirit and flesh state, just like Kal-el. Kal-el walks among humans who only know him as the Jor-el. It's not until he walks with one of his prophets, after the disobedience of man, in which he reveals that his holy name is Kal-el. Kal-el sets in motion the redemption of man through thousands of year. Until one day he deicides that enough time has passed, he leaves his spirit state with the angels and humbly enters the world through a woman in a fully physicals state and full human. To have the full-human experience and to redeem mankind through his physical death. In his fully human state he is known as Clark Kent. In this state he doesn't hold the Glory of the Jor-el or Kal-el. Not until his resurrection. Upon his resurrection he returns to the Jor-el and Kal-el state. He takes the throne as his Clark Kent state and sends Kal-el to reside and bear witness to man. Now the Angels only reside with Clark Kent, as Kal-el is with man, both working in full unison with the Jor-el.
I DID THAT TOO, I MARRIED A JW AND IT WAS HELL AS SHE TRIED TO RUN AND RUIN AND CONTROL MY LIFE AND SET ME UP AGAINST OUR DAUGHTER.
I’m going through it right now man, I left over a year ago and she’s still in. They don’t realize that when they go to the hall they are thought that they are better without really realizing it. Amd that destroy families at home
Just keep on praying and reading your bible so that you may remain strong! Don't hope for quick solutions because there are none. Your struggle is one of endurance. In the long run it will all pay off.
Thanks for the kind words. I guess I ran long distance in high school for a reason- so prepare me for this season;)
Appreciate your encouragement
50 years married and 40 of it to A JW. Very long story. My only advice to you is hold tight to your children, pray God's protection over their minds and hearts. It's lke I told my husband " I'm responsible for their spiritual upbringing too." Don't let your husband tell otherwise. I've been a Christian sense the age of 10. I have 3 daughters, 2 know Christ but one remains a JW. Very hard because now I have 4 of my 8 grandchildren being raised as a JW. The struggle is real. Stay strong! Thanks for sharing! ♥️
This is what I'm scared of.
@@k3ati me too, and that’s nothing I ever want to happen!
Be careful and do right decision if you are in a complicated situation.
i'm so sorry for you. just pray for your family. God brings bad together for good.
Also, Timothy's mother had a Pagan husband and she still respected him. Your husband is not a Pagan. I would suggest you find some common ground and respect your vows if you want to be a good Christian like you indicate.
JWs are subconciously paganis who worship the GB mentally and spiritually , since GB they taught :
Since God and Jesus COMPLETELY TRUST the faithful slave , Should we ( you ) do the same ?
The same WHAT ? To TRUST the GB COMPLETELY like God and Jesus has FAITH to the GB not the other way around , so God and Jesus are lower status than the GB , that is the implicit message the GB had sent to all jws ,
👇🏼
Psalm 146 : 3 Do not put your trust to the princes nir son of man thwre is no salvation
We need to obey the faithful and discreet SLAVE to have Jehovah approval ( wt July 15 - 2011 p24)
But JESUS say in the Bible : JHON 15 : 15 NWT
I no longer call you SLAVES , because a SLAVE DOES NOT KNOW
what his master does . But I have called you FRIENDS because
i have made known to you all the things i have heard vfrom my

THEREFORE ,,,,,,LATER
For more than five decades we taught the FALSE DOCTRINES ( July 15 - 2013 page 3 par 3 )
The Governing Body is neither INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE therefore it can ERR in DOCTRINAL
MATTER ir in ORGANIZARIONAL DIRECTION ( wt February 2017 page 26 par 12 )
Howc a group of mean's called GB the proclaim GOD and JESUS TRUSTED them COMPLETELY
while they are NEITHER INSPIRED NOR INFALLIBLE ? what does it really mean ? neither GOD notbJESUS hor HOLY SPIRIT ever spoke to GB about anything , thats why they are NOT ISNPIRED NOT INFALLIBLE ,
Who is the GB then ? FALSE WITNESSES , they are LYING , so strickly and abusively ,
what does the Bible really say about tge FALSE WITNESS ?
PROVERB 21 : 28 NWT
A LYING WITNESS WILL PERISH but the man who listens will testify with success
Yes they will be perish , it is terrible that the 8 DUST ( Psalm 103 : 14 ) saying GOD AND JESUS TRUST US COMPLETELY , only people with mental issue believe such abusive fantasy
is tge GB trust completely to the DUST ? if they are not , why should GOD has lower sense than the GB ? how such God can help mankind ? therefore jws God need millions of peoples help him ,since he can not help himself does it ? is jws paganist ? yes they are , POLITHEISTIC
by having GOD and "a god " BIG GOD and little god , Jhon 1: 1 NWT and WOTSHIP GB secretly inside their hearth ,
My parents were missionaries in various countries in South America. I was born in Peru. As a teenager, I stopped going to church partly because of the hypocrisy, lack of brotherhood, and nonsensical teachings. After13 years of being a hippie surfer and professional guitarist, my girlfriend began studying the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. We married, she got baptized, and within a year I also became a JW. I've been one now for 46 years, have a great marriage and we continue to be living the best life ever 😊
I love the way you parroted "best life ever" like a drone.
You know there is something wrong in the organisation, you know that deep down, yet due to your sunken cost fallacy, you cant bear to think that it is false.
We will pray for you.
Thank you so much, we are currently planning to get married, he is a JW…I love him so much and it’s hard to leave him, I have been searching for videos here on RUclips, I guess I should pray for strength to leave him 😭😭😭
Are you a Christian who is planning on marrying a JW?
If so- I know where your heart is at! It’s hard…. And our heart can be deceiving. If I were you, ( and if I could go back in time) … I would have done my research BEFORE getting married and lovingly explained why I couldn’t be married to someone who believes in a false Jesus and a whole slew of other things…. In hopes that it will get him to think, and research… leave the organization is NOT leaving Jehovah- it’s finding Jesus:)
Then maybe in the future…. He will come to Jesus and then come back to you.
Every marriage is hard though and every marriage has problems- but I can tell you, I believe God will honor your decision to point him to Jesus and walk away… if it’s meant to be, it will be. ❤️
Praying for you and him!
Please, please, please don't marry a JW. You will spend a lifetime living in regret. It may break your heart right now, but you will be brokenhearted for a lifetime if you marry him, to say nothing of the pain your children will endure-no birthday parties, ostracism by other kids, really a joyless childhood
@@sweethoneybee8518 Thank you so much for the advice and this video,I decided to end the relationships, honestly it hurts and feels like I won't find a better person than him but I think its better than being unhappily married.
@@jancollins6878 Imagine the horror of avoiding God dishonoring PAGAN celebrations. In a weird coincidence not one of the 25 Billion people who ever lived suffered 1 second of harm by not celebrating their birthday. That God damn Bible in Ecclesiastes 7:1 is stupid. We hate the Bible. If the Bible says something its a fucking lie.
Dont marry him girl
Thank you for your story, Blessings!
Stumbled upon your video and wow, this is powerful testimony. I say this because I grew up as a JW and was a real believer the whole time in it, even as a little boy. I eventually stopped going because as I got older something didn’t feel right, but the damage was done, and now in hindsight I realize that it was a tramautic experience. I find it interesting that your husband was totally fine with having sex before marriage and did not feel intense shame. For me the shame was so intense that my body would such off and it would be impossible for my body to do what it needed to do. In fact, for me it caused very bad intamacy issues, which I realize now would never allow me to have a healthy relationship with someone. For example, my wife was the first person I ever had sex with, but even after getting married having sex felt so dirty and wrong to me. It’s what caused the tension in our relationship, and eventually lead to end my 16 year relationship with my wife. The rejection and invalidation I caused her was horrific and I own up to it being my fault. It was only later on when I realized that my feelings were caused by this trauma, that I was able to work on myself healing, that I got over it. However, the damage was done in our relationship and we were like two magnets pushing each other away. She was also a non believer. I appreciate your advice as I should pray about this. Btw I found Jesus. Holy Spirit led me back! Thanks for posting
I too have a cousin who is married to a Jw they are both extremely happy he jokes well I least he will save money on Christmas and Birthday presents
TY for this video; it came at a time of great tribulation for me and my JW wife of 20+ years. By chance, do you have a link to your support group? Assuming we stay together, I’d love to hear others strategies on coping. Again, TY for your courage!
My ex-wife is a JW. She believes and listens more to GB teachings than to me.
I think her husband is JW organisation and not me.
We cannot talk in good terms. She called me apostate when I shared some errors in GB teachings.
The last resort for me to separate from her.
Even though, we are divorced. I hope she can see the true colour of GB wrong teachings.
There are supposed to be errors in GB Teachings..its prophesied that Gods people in the last days would be causing much harm and damage to us on earth. See rev 11:6.
Clues are presented in the context
(in the next few following verses)
I am watching your videos over and over because this sound so much like my life.
The longing, the falling in love when it was "too late" to turn back, the intrigue because he was so knowledge in the word (hours of conversation). My aha moment....I never throughly I was the one to have to ask Jesus for forgiveness because he (husband) has always called me the non believer.
Trying to talk religion never has a good outcome for us 😢
I hope you will join our fb group so we can chat more in there about the day to day stuff- and also encourage one another to persevere through this hardship

Please look up the word hallelujah it's meaning on youtube, next read revelation19:4 compare revelation 7:9,10-it talks about the one true God on the heavenly throne those who survive on earth will be united with all who are in heaven -saying hallelujah-its meaning ìs to praise the name of the one true God seated on his heavenly throne-also read 1timothy2:5compare john17:3 I promise you reading these scriptures will help your marriage
This is going to be an amazing testimony one day sister. ❤
My wife still a witness I disassociated myself we have a wonderful marriage and we still do best woman I ever met in my life I'm one of the lucky ones oops I shouldn't said lucky 😂❣️👍
You are very fortunate ;)
Yes I know thank you
good stuff bro
@@yourlocalhuman3526 thank you brother 👍
I'm an exjw who is now a Christian who attends church. My husband is still a jw. It's so hard. I pray they come to the Lord... all of our loved ones who are stuck in that cult. 🙏
RUclips search street preachers who preach to Jws. Very helpful to know how to talk to them using the scriptures.
I am a comparative religions researcher and a Christian. I have collected the Watchtowers material going back to the days of Charles Taze Russell and looking at the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society', there is overwhelming and solid prophetic failure claims concerning the end of the world. I have learned this about the Society, they claim to be God's channel of communication here on earth, they claim to be the faithful and discreet slave, and they have claimed to be a prophet. As I said their prophecies have a proven track record of 100% failure and then the leadership turned around and blamed it on the rank and file JW's for getting their hopes up too high! So my question to JW's is this: If the Watchtower Society is a false prophet, why should you believe the doctrines of a false prophet?
Wait- you married him when he was a “baptized” witness ? How did he not get disfellowshipped ? You’re trying to convert him- he’s trying to convert you- what a battle . Just live in unison as a married couple/ keep religion out of it you knew what you were getting into. Focus on your children
The Watchtower is calling the shots in his life and they control his beliefs. They are telling him what to believe, they can change interpretation of scripture because they lack the Holy Spirit.
He was not baptized when we got married.that didn’t happen until about 3 years ago
marrying outside the faith is not a disfellowshipping offense in the Jehovah's witness faith structure. it is strongly discouraged. an elder would be removed from his position were he to do so. others in the congregation would be reproved, and be 'marked' as spiritually weak.
They don't get DF for that
You spoke my mind.
How did you get married to a Jehovah witness and he is not disfellowshipped immediately. Can’t be.
I am in your shoes. My husband wasn't a JW when we got married. there is no defending yourself, no changing their minds. Hard is not the word for it. I long for my husband and I to go to the same church, I pray every day that God shows him the right way, we have been together 14 years, he has been a JW for 4 years. good luck it is a struggle. You cant talk to them about JW's.
I was dating a jw but the relationship was so hard until he decided to breakup with me and met a fellow jw who he married later.. I really did love him but I believe I dodged a bullet because I'm a born again Christian and we always had conflict even in our relationship. Love is not enough to be married to a jw this cult is too controlling and they don't have limits..
Ezek 38 states the people of God have no walls gates or bars ..
I also loved a JW girl but ultimately same thing happened which is breakup.
How you managed to move on, i am finding it very difficult as i love her alot, can you please guide me?
Exactly… you DID dodge a bullet. They’re a cult in every sense of the word.
I remember I woke up from jws during the time of dating another jw woman I tried to wake her up relationship ended she got married in 6 months to someone else and I left and started my brand new life
Was you a witnesses or not because you are not it’s because you put her at risk speaking form a spiritual sister. It’s not always good for us to be in a relationship or married someone outside our faith due to problems in the long term because it’s nothing in common
That why milk it’s important to pay more attention to the red flags once’s it is their completely
I too are married to a jw,she is lovely woman puts no pressure on me because she knows what type of man i am.I have had to be very firm with the elders and tell them I am not interested but they keep persting;I enjoy the look on there face when I say NO Not Interested.
Good for you bro. Look after her, one day she is going to need you to rescue her from this terrible organisation/cult...
@@HenriettaMRiley Hi why would i need to rescue her I thought the JW will fall with the rest of the religions .are the jw planning something.

No mate. Leaving JWs happens to alot of people and when it does it can be devastating. Thankfully you will be there to support her.

@@HenriettaMRiley thanks mate I hope that day comes,I will never trust those idol worshiped men either.i once prayed and asked if the blood rule is correct,the answer i got back is all lives are worth saving.i know its my own voice of reason.
I married a ex jw for 21 years. My marriage lasted 22 years prior to his passing and I can honestly say I had the most amazing marriage. I realize I married my husband not his religion. I realize that you have to protect your marriage from outside influences and for us it wasn't what we asked of each other it was more of what others wanted us to do. I learned being equally yoke was us living in union. We always worship in Christ and now that I look back I'm honor that as a wife I stood my course and I believe that is all anyone can do as a beliver. I say this to say we all fall short and just remember to always show your husband that you love him for him for who God made him and that you are committed to walking beside him as God shows him who he is. Especially in that religion - be blessed
Thank you for your honest encouragement
He was ex-jw or JW?
@@saffronhammer7714 he was an ex jw he was non active and not attending meetings or practicing under the religion prior to us marrying
Well, the marriage you describe sounds like the opposite of the woman I see in this video who clearly doesn’t walk beside her husband, even more against him as he need saving. Telling how big of a mistake her marriage is. I only taste the me and us against him and them, even gathering a support group.
I don’t see much love coming out of this video. And her husband watching this video doesn’t help nor encourage to build up their marriage to become stronger, unless he demonstrates what he learns from God.
@@DennisSleeswijk are you speaking as a JW?
That is beautiful. I like your husband and i have never met him. Old fashioned romance and faithfulness is pure in Gods eyes and i love it. I hope you stay strong in the faith, its not easy to believe in Christ and follow His way but through persecution, we have each other and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in that still quiet and calm voice which comes with peace and assurance. Faith is evidence of things hoped for, and God uses faith as power but He does and uses it so well that its like the work of a magician, but the effects are genuine and long lasting. We all have that same ability and power when connected to the Holy Spirit.
Melissa, I can tell that you are a lovely person inside and out. I can see the love of God in you. You will win him and help him escape from the Watchtower indoctrination by continually showing him your Christian love. Just be aware that by your Facebook and RUclips, the other members of the cult will really see you as a “”threat to his spirituality “, but The Almighty is on your side. God Bless. Just subscribed.
Music to my ears and I hope that comes to
Fruition.
I am Definitely a threat to him “spiritually” … I used to be quiet and hide my feelings/thoughts and findings… but in recent years- have become much more vocal in sharing about them- and I can only say that it is because my feel are firmly planted in the Rock and God lives in me.
Appreciate you subscribing and hope me sharing my story helps you and others in some way.
That’s nice. Because you cannot get divorced. Or actually HE cannot get divorced. Unless you are unalive. And until YOU become a Witness, you are STILL considered a “divided” family. Meaning, YOU are NOT one of THEM! So either wake up to the “truth”, or else remain as an “outsider”. Good luck to you. 😊
He can get divorced if he crawls on his knees to Elders and begs forgiveness and reports how she is “stumbling” him and he shoulda listened to the wise Elders, etc. The woman is always to blame, JW wife or not.
Why don't you just forget religion and focus on "earthly things" like your kids and enjoying quality time with each other. Do you realize that apologizing to God for marrying a person of another faith is an insult to your own children?
It’s not about “religion”… it’s about what the truth is … and what it is not. This culture seems to think there are a bunch of “truths” out there- but there is one truth- and that is Jesus… and if they have the wrong Jesus, they do not have the truth.
Religion is mad made… this is spirituality.
And I do focus my energy and time on my family. It’s impossible to wrap up my outlook on life in one little video- but I assure you my focus is on them. However, I would be a fool not to focus on eternal things… “Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Colossians 3:2
I apologized to God for Marrying my husband because I married him KNOWING God did not want me to. it felt right to apologize for disobeying him. It is not an insult to my children- they are the best thing that has come out of our marriage and I believe God can works all things together for good- like he is doing.
@@sweethoneybee8518 JWs are Christians. Girl, grow up. You don't even sound genuine. It sounds like you just got on here to get some views.
Oh my, this hit closer to home than any other video about JWs. I've been married to a JW for 32 years, and was in the EXACT same boat as you were. I fell in love with my wife, and didn't really know what JWs believed, but THOUGHT I could show her my belief system and she would just follow. Boy was I mistaken. So much so that I found out I didn't really know enough about my OWN beliefs; much less able to counter hers. Same thing happened with my folks. My father tried to tell us both how wrong this was, and her family never even tried to talk to me.
One thing though, I have apologized to God, and my own father. But the Word does say NOT to put the unbelieving spouse away, because we don't know what the outcome will be. I wish we could talk face to face. I'm a bit older than you, but everything you said on this video is EXACTLY the same as what I have gone thru in my entire marriage.
The blessing I try to look at, is how much closer I've drawn to God, and I can honestly say that I KNOW what I believe, and WHY I believe it. Although I have watched thousands of hours of apologetic videos, and can pretty much bury the average JW with REAL Bible Truth, I can only think of ONE JW that turned from their belief system and came to Christ. Maybe there are more, but each day I pray for the opening of the hearts of unbelieving JWs. They are close to my heart because they are mostly good people, but "good" people don't get saved. I can only call them "good' as compared to the dredge of this world.
I will pray for you and your family, you pray for mine. Maybe someday we will both see the saving Grace of our Lord Jesus CHrist opened up to our spouses.
I was a JW and my husband as well and we both came to Christ, by God’s grace. There is hope. Keep praying❤
Omg I was too in the exact same boat as you. I was married to a Jws from 1991-2011. I could tell you stories on how diff-CULT it was. Everything from my relationship to children. She would not budge and was heavily indoctrinated.
My marriage ended in 2011, long story she left me bc I believe it was the fact I would never become a jw. She was “friends” with a married male jw he left his wife. They eventually married in 2011 and are still married as of 2023.
@@Eternal_Life69more to your story I think because Jw don't divorce unless there was Adultery committed
@@pamelasloan1664 yes adultery was the case. He left his jw wife and she left me. They married right afterwards. I didn’t want to write a long drawn out story. Lol
@@Eternal_Life69 nor should you have to reveal something so private, I so sorry this has happened to you. Unfortunately it's the way this system has become and even though some profess to follow Jehovahs standards they fall away because of immorality, Jehovah forgives us if we are truly repentant he knows we are imperfect
Our God never forsakes those calling on him out of a sincere heart. Hang in there.
I’m really sorry for what your going through. Your husband is in a very highly controlled religion. I was baptized at 14 and left when I was 33. First my exit was due to sin I was disfellowshipped. But it wasn’t until I stepped away and had my whole family stripped from me, my three sisters, both my parents and aunts and uncles and the only friends I had that I was able to have clarity of thought. I was no longer being controlled and was free to think for myself. I can tell you from experience that they do not have a personal relationship with God. They are told what to believe and wait for the direction of their Governing Body to tell them what to believe on a matter. It’s really sad because most of them are very kind hearted people. As I’m sure your husband is, being that you fell in love with him. I hope you guys can work through this and while we are hoping I hope he wakes up for the sake of his family. Please do not let Jw religion have anymore hold on your life. Sending you Christian love.
Birthdays, Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day, military, the flag, voting, everything we shared together for many years, we no longer do.
I'm catholic married to a jw for 30 years 4 kids. She was pregnant too when we got married. Figuring out a way through has been extremely hard. I had deep faith but once married lots of struggles in jw world. I agree that jws challenge your faith in all kinds of ways. Too many Christians Cruz through life without refining their faith through fire (spiritually speaking). I envy spiritually united married couples but who take it for granted and get lazy in their faith. The one thing I respect jws for is their zeal and that's about it. We're in a bad space now cuz walking on egg shells for 20+ years wears you down. Only takes one slip of frustration in saying the wrong thing and they can shut down.
Very similar situation …. Thank you for sharing. I understand the feeling of “walking on eggshells”…. I know you said you are in a hard place right now, but I hope this hard season passes and that you get to the top of the hill and get to celebrate one day soon.
I too long to sit next to my spouse in church one day.
@@sweethoneybee8518 Hard place for sure. Wife just told me yesterday she was never in love with me. Married me cuz she was pregnant. She never wanted kids I did. She was trying to be what she thought I wanted hoping it would get me to convert. I always knew it deep down but to hear it said with a straight face almost angry looking took my breath away. I'm reeling but now I know I wasn't crazy. I'm hurt much more than I thought I would be because as I said I knew that already

Incredible your husband must really be a very good compassionate and tolerant man at heart just shows that there are always some really good and tolerant souls within the jehovah witness congregation.👍👍

Veey true! My son exclaims "Jesus" easily and the JW around us have ab issue with it. I try my best to keep us farrrrr away from theor double standards and ignorance! I keep praying for them
Funny how she thinks that a JW husband married to a "Christian" first would have to accept Jesus. ... Does she even KNOW JW doctrine. I would rather see a problem if he wants to leave JWs and their practice of shunning hits them. But maybe her religion / cult does the same. Being a JW is VERY time consuming (several meetings, ministry by preaching the gospel door to door), and if she does not accompagny him to his meetings they cannot even spend that time together. Plus if he takes his cult seriously he will think that she is going to perish during Armageddon, and maybe also the kids ... speaking of which - Are they raised in her belief system or in his.
What a nightmare 😐
Hi SweetHoneyBee. Just found your vid & channel. Great vid and great subject. I'm exjw too and have an exjw channel. Yes I escaped the cult and abusive marriage. My ex was not a JW... JW teaching repeatedly quote 1Peter 3 for JW wives when they have an "unbelieving" husband so they (the husband) can be "won over to the faith". ...
It never worked in my marriage but anyway, I just wanted to say great job on the video. Please be aware that if your husband has rejoined and is now a practicing JW, they are very heavily indoctrinated when attending all those meetings and within the literature. And JWs speak out publicly in a very negative way from their platforms about "wicked Christendom" which is every christian religion except JWs, at least they did when I used to be a jw.
If he is now a practicing jw (or even just a jw believer not practicing) and becomes aware of this public video, it may not go down well with him and his congregation elders. The moment a person speaks out publicly against JWs, the JWs are indoctrinated to believe that that person is an "apostate".
They used to teach an apostate was just somebody who left JWs and spoke out publicly against JWs but not anymore. Every person speaking out publicly is considered "apostate" by the average JW.
To a JW, an apostate is viewed as more wicked than the worst criminal. An apostate in the JW religion is described as "sinning against the holy spirit" and will have no place for God's forgiveness.
To a JW and their unbelieving family members, it's a very serious matter! It's very shocking and frightening for a JW to be confronted with an apostate situation and what they are brainwashed into believing what an apostate is. Even the word apostate wells up a frightening spirit within a JW person. I know from experience after losing my jw sisters and we were all very close in our hearts to one another.
They will avoid an apostate at all costs, believing it will protect their own life and what they believe to protect the lives of their children at Armageddon, soon to arrive.
A JW will go into survival mode and shunning and avoidance of the "apostate" will begin no matter how much they love or like a person. It's an automatic response of being taught it's how you show to God that you "love Jehovah God more than any other human". Unfortunately, JWs are taught to love with conditions.
So please be careful with everything surrounding the subject of speaking out with your YT channel and FB. JW stuff creeps into every nook and cranny of one's life and one's marriage. It's amazing that you have been able to keep your marriage together for this long and not let him passively change you into becoming a JW and allowing your children to not get indoctrinated. Unfortunately the biggest majority of JWs will have an alterior motive for being friendly to other people ie to try and win them over to become a JW. I hope and pray you and your children never get indoctrinated into the JW cult.
Hugs sister 🤗. Trusting all you pray for comes to be true.
I just started watching your video but I have to say God bless you, sister. I have dad and cousins in this and I’m praying for them and I will pray for your husband to know Jesus as lord and savior and to be free of the yolk of WTBS🩷
My wife and I were married in the kingdom hall as we were both witnesses. I later was found by the lord and I am so grateful.
My wife still is a believer in the nonsense coming from this vile organization while I have Jesus as my lord and master.
Yeah it's tough being in such a marriage.
Agreed i am in same situation ,it takes prayer and trust in Jesus .its tough.

@@mitchmiller2382 thank you I'm sorry about your father God bless you too brother
It's about the marriage not the religion. Focus on the relationship not him as a JW. Let him see a difference.
I grew up as a witness. My dad converted after my parents got married. He forced us kids to be raised as witness and because my women are supposed to be submissive, my mom had no say. My dad dominated the whole house. All I can say is love, respect, communicate, with each other. I can see that it can work with all of this, however stop trying to convert or change each other. You can only do you. Religion can/will cause a wedge if you try to force it on others. You are not responsible to make him change his religion, or to interrogate, or to tear his religion down.
How did that effect your relationship with God?…. Being forced to be raised as a witness?
@@sweethoneybee8518 Lets say im agnostic. I want absolutely no part of any organized religion. I do not think you need to attend a church to be religious and/or spiritual. I had way too much crammed down my throat growing up. I have to say im tired of being preached to/at.
As rev 11:18 describes the need for God to intervene before humankind ruins the earth..
That same chapter refers to the 3rd temple which is to allow right minded people to worship God acceptably in the last days of this system of things.
Those involved in true worship are told ..AUTHORISED by The Almighty ..to strike earth with plagues..referring to Gods people as the two witnesses/ prophets.
Christianity is not religion it's a relationship. Christians are to witness especially to our loved ones
I'm not married to a jw, but I'm married to a immature Christian, and that's hard too. My husband is very selfish which hurts a lot. I'm always trying to show him the blessing that come with being self sacrificing, but it's like he believes he needs to look out for himself, he makes me feel very unloved at times. However, the way he is has made me grow closer to jesus, and jesus is more my husband than my physical husband is. And maybe God will cover our husbands through us. The bible says the unbelieving spouse can be sanctified through the believer. I count my husband as an unbeliever because he depends more on his self than God. He knows about God, but he doesn't trust him with his life.
@Eloise Ramsey. You can somewhat tell if he is believer or not by whether he experiences God's discipline or not. That usually shows up by repeated patterns, such as continual difficulty with fellow employees or bosses, even if he changes jobs. Does he continue to have adverse circumstances financially, or with his health?, etc.
I am married to a jw and I am blood washed and Spirit filled. My husband left me. 4/26/20
@KGC. That's sad. I hope God turns things around for you. You did your part. If your ex doesn't come to Christ, maybe He has someone else for you. You're not under bondage to the marriage any more since he abandoned you.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.Save your children from that demonic cancerous doctrime.You are very precious.
WAIT A SEC.!!! Jehovahs Witnessess ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IN the Lord Jesus Christ. He is The KING of GODS KINGDOM! He is King ANOINTED BY HIS FATHER AND GOD, JEHOVAH. Listen Folks, heres the deal. The APOSTLE PAUL who was HANDPICKED by Christ himself. Who also wrote 14 books of the Inspired word, (Bible) said unequivocally;
BLESSED BE THE FATHER AND "GOD" OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS. So Jesus has a GOD AND THATS WHO JWS WORSHIP!!!!!!
So her Husband is SIMPLY WORSHIPPING WHO JESUS WORSHIPS!!!!!! Where as his wife DOES NOT acknowledge GOD AND WORSHIPS THE SON!
THATS SIN.
GOD DOES NOT SHARE HIS WORSHIP NOT EVEN WITH HIS SON!!!
DID THE ISRAELITES (GODS PEOPLE) WORSHIP JESUS? NO. THEY DIDNT EVEN KNOW HIM.
SHE IS WRONG.
Jesus should be deeply honored and followed because all things are subject to him. But WE ARE ALL SUBJECT (INCLUDING JESUS) TO GOD.
Seems you are more subject to your organization than to God.You must break that bond and make a new start with God.
@@davidsnello You dodged the statement there.
@@muckeenthepig3974 The truth is hidden in the statement. God does not come first but the organization.
Ask him if women also went to heaven as anointed bekngs. He should say yes. Show him Revelation 14 : 1-4. Also show him Rev 7: 1-8. It destroys their 144000 doctrine.
But then all these two will be doing is fighting scriptures all the time. What kind of relationship is that?
I’m curious Did your husbands parents attend the wedding? I can imagine it may have been worse on his part to marry a “worldly” woman. I’m praying for your journey God Bless!
I know it's common for people to talk about "asking Jesus into your heart," but that's not Biblically accurate. It's a form of "Christianese," which is not Biblically accurate (Scripture doesn't tell us to do so. It tells us to trust only in Jesus' sacrifice. It also predictably creates a problem of assurance of salvation because asking Jesus into the heart doesn't save). It confuses the end with the means. Also, it's counterproductive with JWs because they are taught NEVER to "invite Jesus into their heart" (or life) because they will get a demon instead. It's best to present the Gospel by showing from John 3 through the example of the serpent being lifted up that it was a one-time event (which is why Jesus used it as context for 3:16 and it refutes the mistranslated idea of 'exercising faith'). I know a lot about this because I was raised in a situation where my Christian Dad was married to my fourth-generation JW Mom. Dad just died and now we kids are focused on trying to accurately and simply continue to present the Gospel to my 89 year old mom who has dementia. Blessings.
I am one who is married to a j.w.and I'm Christian,I can tell you it's a rough road but I pray daily he comes back to Christ as he used to be baptist.
Nice positive spin, yes it tough to speak to a witness spouse when you don't believe what they do.
Lets be clear about this: JWs do believe that there is no salvation in anyone else except Jesus (Acts 4:12). Calling them unbelievers, and making these efforts to gather people in opposition to Jehovah is not the best way to go. It does not make up for your own inadequacies, nor does it solve any emotional problems you may have. You have a loving husband who dwells with you in peace, and you have healthy children. Your reasons for joy are abundant. There is no need for war. Nobody seem to be fighting YOU, except YOU.
Let me be clear about this.
You either preach the gospel from what God's word says or you have another Jesus that's FALSE!
She isn't trying to" start a war"... she is trying to get him saved by Grace though the Jesus!! JOHN 14:6 AND JESUS SAID: I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, no man comes to the Father but by me.
If you read scripture you would know that NO ANGEL IN HEAVEN OR ANYONE ELSE HAS THE POWER TO FORGIVE SINS! JW's believe that Jesus was Michael the Archangel and he wasn't bodily resurrected but in a spirit form.
They have prophesized the end of the world multiple times (wrong of course) and now they claim " Jesus" took to the throne in 1914. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before.
They are Unbelievers.
Exactly
Its a cult.
You’re exactly right.
@@danielduhon7781 144,000 are the very important people who we know will make it to Heaven. For example we know for certain Elijah is a part of the 144,000 as he's already in Heaven. More than likely after Judgment Day, Abraham and Moses will be a part of the 144,000. Most Jehovah's Witness do not claim to be a part of the 144,000 as we take Heaven very seriously unlike other Christian denominations where Heaven appears to be a big party.
you can only keep on praying he gets revelation from god and wakes up to the watchtower.
Type in Ex JWs on RUclips and find out all about the Watchtowers lies.
My story is so similar to yours 😭 thank you for sharing this.
Any chance you can put a link for the Facebook group? I wasn’t able to find it right now
Thanks for sharing your experience, your father is so kind and didn’t shun you. What about his parents? They will shun their own family that doesn’t repent, did they attend the wedding? Or he was not DF?
My in laws did attend the wedding 😀
Thank you for the reply, so i think they were ok w/ double standard. But its good to know you had a happy wedding.
I have had spouses of JWs in my Bible study. I found that making scripture clearer and taking JWs arguements and breaking them down bit by bit is helpful. I believe I helped the woman, maybe, save her marriage ( though I'm still torn if that is a good thing or not). She admitted that i helped to be stronger in her fait . being knowledgeable about scripture and understanding the history of salvation gave her " ammunition " to withstand the almost daily struggle she has being married to a JW. I question the reasons any JW would marry outside of their sect. I never could withstand a constant belittling and anger that JWs have toward non believers. Marrying a JW is like doing penance for the rest of your life for the sin of marrying Into JWs.
I was a jehova witness until.2020 i ,i woke up from this sect when i saw Raymond Franz's video God!!! how i could be blind
when she was a young child, she studied for a small period of time and then stopped for a long time. her grandmother is the one that planted the seed in her, while her mother has never been a witness. i met her 2 years ago, and last year is that she started studying again and "drawing closer." i, on the other hand, believe in god but am not religious or come from a religious family. we're in love, but the issue moving forward is that she can "marry only in the lord". what advice do you have for my situation?
@Erick Luenzo. Whether or not you are a Christian, STEER CLEAR from any relationship with a Jehovah's Witness. It's not all about you and your happiness, although if you go through with this to its logical conclusion, you will see MUCH unhappiness. The Watchtower's view of you is so negative (it is of EVERYONE who's not a JW), that it is going to be almost impossible for that attitude not to rub off on your significant other. If you marry a JW, YOUR KIDS' LIFE WILL BE HELL. It's not fair to them. If I sound negative here, I have a right to. I was/am one of those kids. I'm now 62, but the years have not erased those memories of household friction, nor the sadness of realizing that if my Dad had married a Christian like himself, life would have been easier. It's still painful looking at my 89 year old Mom and seeing the lack or peace she is experiencing because of her devotion to the Watchtower (even with dementia). Even through eight years of dementia, my Dad NEVER experienced the lack of peace that my Mom does, even though he was 91 when he died. The Watchtower is such an Orwellian type of group, that for years, they even tried to dictate the sexual activities between husbands and wives in their own bedroom. I think you need to do a LOT a research on this group, because I don't think you have that much knowledge about all the ways they will attempt to undermine your authority in a marriage and with your future kids. In the non-sexual areas of your life, you will not be able to experience the 'oneness' you would like to in the other areas of life (politics, hobbies, leisure, etc.). They will cause much friction because they will always be intruding on the amount of time you would like be able to spend with a spouse. They place a LOT of pressure on how many meetings a week, study, door-to door witnessing, etc. that their people need to be involved in.
Look up Supernatural Conference Michael Heiser on RUclips. It’s a long lecture but absolutely great! He mentions JW’s misunderstanding of the trinity too
I am a believer that associations (religions) exist only to make money for the few.
You're in a tough situation but there is hope. He will eventually open his eyes, make him watch the Vice documentary on Jehovah witness it came out last week on 7/28. He will be shock to see what is going on in the organization...is he making you watch the zoom meetings? That's pure torture right there.
I didn’t know about that documentary- thank you! I’ll check it out and hopefully he will see it too.
I do not watch the meetings. But he makes our children sit and watch ( they agree- pure torture)
@@sweethoneybee8518 wait a minute...are u saying that u allowed him to raise your children as JWs? Oh my goodness...that changes everything. I was sympathetic to u till that. I'm a Christian and I would never allow that to happen and u know that God hates that. You have to save those children.
Have a lovely day everyone! :)
Been thru it . for me the in-laws were the big problem
Single existential nihilist here. Take care all.
i hope he wakes up. keep praying for him. There are counselors out there. i recommend shunnedpodcast.com. he can help. not expensive either . He will help.
P.S. dont let your husband take the kids to the Kingdom halls.
I am a Christ loving Christian my husband was raised JW he has never been a JW but he hates Christians with a passion as they are taught to. I met him in high school we are high school sweethearts I was raised in a Christian church believers of the Trinity loving Christ as our Lord and savior. I didn’t accept Christ in my life until about three years ago.
Congratulations on making the best decision ever to follow Jesus ❤️
Yes, they definitely do not like to give Jesus the worship he deserves.
JW are Christian, they believe in Christ. JW loves all people. You all have been misinformed.
@@Meme6 I’ve been married with my husband who I love every much for almost 30 years and I have known his JW family and him for 30+ years. I am not misinformed! Humbly I tell you , maybe there is denial on your part.
Nobody was raised to hate Christians. JWs are Christians!
Hi!! I can’t find your facebook group. Do you have a link?
I am nearly 60 years old and this is the first time (and i think the last time) i say to a woman: STAY STRONG! Never, never, never let him make you a JW!
JW always and constantly bring you to the point: decide for me (JW) or „die“. They FORCE YOU to decide between them and Christ. The day will come, when he will force you!
STAY STRONG!
I know you are strong because a woman (person) who can stand a bible discussion with JW are really, really, strong.
Ephesians 3:16
Colossians 1:11
2 Thessalonians 2:17
Greetings🥰🥰🥰😇
They don't force on nobody, so I don't know from where did you say this?😔😔😔😔
They don't force anything on anyone they just speak the word that they learn just like Jesus christ did.
@@ayeshasaeed3140 Of course not, they just ignore you as if you are not there at all, how the love of God is showing in your heart and body isn-t it beautiful your temple of God it really can-t hide the devil power within you. Oh sorry I just didn-t see you, you know i am in a hurry.

Hi, i just need guidence, i'm a christian who fell in love with a JW, it's a special case because he had stopped studying and then we started dating, i am really in love with him but he wanted to study again the bible so we broke up, i really don't know if we can keep dating, we had talked about getting married but in a future. I am heartbroken because we are really in love but we can't date. I know studying will make him happy and for that i am happy but it really hurts to not be together. i wanted to go with him to the reunions but i'm not so sure about it, i don't know what to do.
Vanessa- I feel your pain… I vividly remember breaking up with my now spouse many times before we got pregnant and then engaged. I think deep down I knew I should not be with him, but kept getting pulled back in because love is blinding and you think it can conquer all- at least that’s what I told myself.
If I could go back to my younger self… I would tell myself to fall in love with Jesus, know his word and focus on that relationship more, know how to share the gospel message ….share it with him, let him know I loved him and then walked away out of obedience to God. Then, let God do His thing.
If y’all are meant to be together, than you will be- but God warns us not to be unequally yoked for a reason. It is hard!
.
It’s all fine and dandy if they are inactive and just dabbling, it’s actually attractive to see a man study the Bible- but once they are all in - it is all consuming, and controls so many areas of life.
I would truly advise you to share the gospel with him, then walk away and don’t get back together until he has been born again and your ready for him to be the spiritual leader of you and your future kids. 🤍
.
My hearts feels your pain- and I know it’s not an easy choice. Pray always … God will whisper to you what to do ;)
I’m looking for your FB channel but cannot find it can you add the link to this video please?
We do believe in Jesus we accept him as the means of our salvation, we just don't believe he is superior to God. All the best in your marriage ❤️.
I don’t believe he is superior to God either. But the question is…. When he humbled himself and came into the world as a human- what was his nature before that?
The Bible tells us:
“Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippians 2:5-11
He was in the FORM of God… he absolutely was not Micheal the Archangel.
Prayers for you to find the Truth in Jesus ❤️
@@sweethoneybee8518 many times he is called a God a lord and a King and there's nothing wrong with referring to him as such. We do, our whole religion is actually central to Jesus and his role in our redemption from sin via his death. He's just not at par with God in OUR understanding of the scriptures. On the archangel issue that's a topic that really needs time because as it stands we already have fundamental differences. I'm genuinely not here to argue or negate your personal experience.
Jesus is NOT God, nor did he claimed to be. The Jehovah witnesses got it right even if the world detests them. That's one sure sign of they having plenty of the truth on their side. Many of you all truly need to go back and learn!!!
@@ifakemiawogbile8573 Thank you so much. I just can't wait until we all come together as followers of Christ. I don't know why JW gets so much hate.
Your Jesus has no power cause your Jesus is not God, you rely on your works to save you how good you practice as a ladder to earthy paradise. When you say the means this means this word says it all it had to be done so we can have our organization as it is today.
I've been studying attending meetings for many many years and I love Jehovah god and Jesus and his word the bible love my life of serving Jehovah. Nicest thing I can say to all my Jehovah's witness sisters is I've never thought any of the brothers were attractive especially the married brothers. I'm serious whole time I've attended meetings and still to this day and I'm happy single but I love respect all my brothers sisters but I'm just not attracted to any of the brothers or any men attend meeting s but I really really appreciate what the brothers sisters teach me most important that's my purpose I'm doing this for Jehovah god and to try to work out my salvation inherit gods promises and help others work out their salvation inherit gods promises I'm not doing this for a husband I don't want no husband but even if they were single not my type never will be .I really believe their wife's are only ones think they are but that is a real good thing to know that the most up building words I can say to my sister's encourage keep up good work serving god and taking care of your families great job because the couples in our congregation have been together since I first started meetings and all these years later over 7 years still together strong marriages strong spiritual family I just got to say good job
You are following a false religion. You need to leave it.
If you read the Bible, even the altered NWT, and compare to the teachings of the WT and you will see it doesn’t match up and the Bible itself will tell you they are a false prophet
Faith, you are going to be ok. Because you have Faith.
very similar story she told me she was pregnant so we got married but months later I found out she was not pregnant. The only good thing that came from the marriage was three beautiful children. We divorced 12 years later I had the pleasure of raising all three of my children, not as Jehovah's Witnesses. It's unfortunate, but she was never a part of their life. They are all good people.
I'm married to A brother in the congregation so he's been struggling with the pass
So we are good but others are trying to break us up.
Because of several hurtful incidents with brothers trying to talk to me and get me in trouble If just said no.
I didn't need another rejection
WOW this is a twist. It’s always JWs getting counseled not to marry non-witnesses but honestly, this makes more sense. Hopefully he does accept Christ and becomes Born-Again. Peace

My encouragement to you is let love lead. Think about this...... while we were sinners christ died for us. It's only by the spirit of God that anyone could come to know christ. I believe God is always saying something concerning our situation and where we fall short is our inability to know the mind of God. One revelation from God concerning your situation will change everything. The wisdom of men will not work so don't even ask for it. Curse is anyone who put his trust in a man. Go on your knees with prayer and fasting and i believe you will receive a revelation from God that will bring light to your situation. I pray the grace of God will be sufficient for your family. Shalom
Ask your husband if he believes that JEHOVAH GOD is a JEALOUS GOD. ASK IF DOUBTING THOMAS BELIEVES IN JEALOUS GOD. Take him to john 20 vs 28. We will pray for your husband.
Yessss!!!!! “My Lord and My God” - I quote that all the time. And the first time he saw it, he was totally thrown off and didn’t know what to say. Thanks for praying for him!
As an ex Jehovah's Witness its a real conundrum for you both . All i can say is i know i couldn't be married to someone with very different religious views to me , that would be an absolute nightmare. 😐
What ever you Do,DO NOT become Johvah Witness. Just listen to the ones who had been there 😢
I am praying for you to have your husband come to Jesus. Jehovah's Witnesses are blinded by their beliefs because they have been brainwashed.
Sure!
Wow! Brain washed from what? The truth? Stop lying just read the Bible for once.
@@markxnex973 you're brainwashed dude. I read the Bible without the Watchtower and that's how I woke up. Jesus is God dude. Just read John chapter 1 and 1 John 5:19, 20.
@@caroldanvers265 no i am not reading from a Bible that was written from a man.

Let me tell you something sister I left 2018 I've been associated with witnesses since 1973 I got married 2016 to witness woman she's wonderful and I left I wrote my letter of disassociation and I left and we're still together we have a happy marriage she's great she knows when she has it good I'm not your normal witness I'm like a rebel witness I did at least as possible and I never hung out with anybody I had my own friends that I had since I was in school that never changed so when I left it was like another day didn't even mean anything ❤️👍😂
I wish you the best in your new journey. I hope your love can conquer all
It has so far thank you ❤️👍
Remember this lovely lady . The same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you . That same spirit with the powe of pray can turn your husband around . No weapon formed against you can prosper. When the😮 enemy comes in like a flood God will raise up a standed. You are walking in victory. No pray no power. God is on your side
