It’s been a pleasure! We’ve been looking forward to this interview since coming to RUclips! One of many collaborations to come!
I'm PIMO...seeing you as a young couple was so refreshing!! I was PIMI before and even attacked JT&Cee channel beforeee...but I dug deeper and just wow 😢..I'm still in the hall so this is still a big SHOCK for me
Jesus 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??????????
You MADE It HAPPEN!! Great job! It was a GOOD one. ❤
@@ItsAllAShow Jesus 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??????????
Good morning I listen to your interview with JT and Lady C last night it was awesome keep up the good work you guys.
My two favorite ex JWs couples!!! ❤
Agreed, so genuine, honest and simple, but what I love about them is that they are helping people to be themselves.
I loved this video. I have been subscribed to this young couples video for some time now. I am so glad you got together.❤
Absolutely!
@@anthonybowers9633Spot on.
Same here!
I joined the organization when I was 27 I was naïve about what was going on , I woke up8 years later and realized how horrible the place was
Same sister! I will never forget during a bible study shortly after I started "studying" the message was basically "Service or Die, cuz Jehovah says so".
Studied for two years and felt pressured to get baptized so I did at 29. 15 years later I just couldn't do it anymore.
Sincerely, a girl who studied under Mark Sanderson's Mother.
Even outside the organization JT gives this elder vibe that I love. JW org lost something by loosing a sound personality like JT
Absolutely the truth on this! I said the same thing... welcoming and approachable ❤
Cant help but love ❤ JT and Lady Cee.❤❤
It brings my heart joy to see yall 4 together❤❤😊😊
It’s surreal seeing these 4 collaborate. ❤
I always told myself these 4 should collaborate, man this was a beautiful interview 🥰🥰🥰
‘Collaborate’ that’s cute.
@@Greg76131 ah so you’re slow. Got it.
Like these two could be their kids. So spiritually and mentally strengthening
Thank you JT and lady C. MY wife an I are now out of this cult. It wasn't easy but we made it. I was the first one to wake up and the ex jw critical thinker was my go to channel. My fiancée (wife now) threatened to leave and i was ready to risk it all, but now we are out together. it's been a long journey. I love you too awaken truth, you are the best
How sad for a religious organization to use religion to harm people so much 😢. I am glad to see these people who are smart enough to get away from it. Keep sharing your stories to help others. God bless all of you. ❤🙏
My two favorite exjw couples in the same place at the same time?! Whaaaaat? Excellent video good people!!!!
This is such a safe place for anybody who is disfellowshipped and shunned. I’ve know people who ended their lives due to this “undeserved kindness” and “loving arrangement”. You are saving lives - in the real sense, by welcoming all people and not concentrating on your own views and imposing those.
Amazing - all the way from Australia ❤️
So true. They don't think for themselves.
I am glad that I questioned.
I am glad that when I woke up, Critical Thinker was there to keep me sane.
Yes, I am enjoying my life.
I never left Jehovah, I left the mind control.
I am at peace.
So true.
Yessss!! My favorite exjw couples on RUclips!! You both have drastically changed my life for the better ! ❤
I’m so happy. You are back! 🎉
It is totally crazy when you think that there are grown up people who cannot make up their minds, waiting for the uneducated, 8 to 10 people in the US to tell them how to think, and not only that; but to keep on changing how they should not think anymore, that too can change any time any year.
This is true but the problem is that organization uses the family to try to keep them. EX Jehovah’s Witnesses will loose all their family members who are Jehovah’s witnesses. They literally will stop talking to them forever. This is the danger of the 8 men sitting on the watchtower who are pretending to be the voice of God. How 😢 😢 families are destroyed by this cult. It’s a religious prison. The government needs to investigate this group and their leaders.
My two favorite exjw channels!
This is wonderful.
I love these collaborations.
This was a wonderful program. As a matter of fact, it is always good. I'm so glad to see these two young individuals on your program. I watch them all the time. Just like I watch your program all the time. I can't get enough of watching your program. I really can't. I love the show the interview was excellent as well as educational. I just love you guys. From the bottom of my heart.
Yesss!
Yes, Black People Yes Lawd I Love it ❤❤❤🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾👍🏽🤜🏾🤛🏾 Nice interaction!!!
Too much realism!👏🏽💕
Love JT & LadyC & Jevin & Lexi! This was a great interveiw. Could've gone on a second hour.
Thank you guys , I truly enjoyed that interview . After 50 years of Watchtower I walked away, I knew something wasn't right and I kept praying to understand why I was so irritated at the meetings. The more I prayed the more I saw that their teachings are not the teachings of our Lord but rather the teachings of men . I thank the Christ for opening my eyes and freeing me from that cult. I enjoyed the interview with your guests today many of their experiences was my experience through the years.
Now we are all free people in the Christ.
I love you guys and keep up the good work you are helping many. ❤❤
These people are just so pathetic. My story is. ….. I have mental health issues ie: depression. I don’t think I should have been disfellowshipped because of my mental health. The problem happened once 5-6 yrs ago I’m just sickened by this.
Excellent interview Thanks Family
Thanks fam!!!
@@ExJWCriticalThinker Hey Fam good to see y'all! Stay safe God bless you!
Jesus 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???????
@@ExJWCriticalThinkerJesus 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????????
Raymond Franz's journey towards freedom through thorough research, debate, and a commitment to honor God is commendable. His decision to leave the organization was driven by what he believed was right, not due to moral wrongdoing or disciplinary actions. His pursuit of truth showcases critical thinking in its essence. While secular critical thinking is significant in this channel, the scriptural aspect, which I am yet to see, adds another dimension challenging individuals to reevaluate their beliefs.
Hope y'all are well glad you're back in business
My two favorite ExJW/Apostate couples 🫶🏾! I loved this interview and absolutely 💯 agree that we all have had the same terrible experience. Keep up the good work putting out the real truth👏🏾 🙌🏾.
Why continue to use the word/ phrase apostate when they clearly stated that the word carries a negative connotation?!!
@@lunahmoon8286 thank you. It bothers me as well when ex Jws refer to themselves as apostates. That’s what Jws call you don’t call yourself that. You didn’t turn away from Jesus and Jehovah and the Bible you turned away from the organization. The organization is not Jehovah and Jesus. Don’t give them that power.
Am not a Jehovahs Witness anymore I go to Spirit Filled Family Church in Hesperia California
Wow such a lovely couple
So glad they got out early enough to have a full life and children if they want. Thank you to both wonderful couples ❤
Yall are wonderful! So blessed to have found your way out of this evil cult!
Such an intelligent couple.
that was very nice! Love you guys Lady Cee and JT !
👋Thanks for this excellent interview. I really enjoy the Awaken Truths channel. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
I left JW last year and what a relief was totally brainwashed I’m now come to know I’m an Israelite and love it this is the real truth learning the sabbath and learning about the true God Yahuah makes a big difference and so so much more ❤hope everyone wakes up soon
I love them!! Great interview
Both of your channels are wonderful to watch. Both entertaining and educating 😊 I admire your courage to tell your stories! I am ordering your new book soon! Thank you for all that you 4 do on here. Fellow ex jw, 3 yrs out now. Still struggling, but you all help so much!
I've always said that they are like bite sized versions of JT and Lady Cee! 🥰
Ikr..🥰😉
I’m loving seeing two of my favorite ex-JW couples get together! Great interview!
PIMO I been watching this channel nice to see them on this channel so many good interviews.
I love you guys, all the 4 of you 😍😍😍
Great video. You guys compliment each other very well and organically. Well done!
Excellent! Such relatable stories! Great job! 💕
Very good episode...🎉👑💯👍🏾
Yesssss!! All my favorites!!!! ❤ Love y'all!!
❤️ - Hallelujah - Easter has come and gone and we're here now
49:25 this is how i feel I would have given my life for some of my family but they couldn't put aside the shunning when we lost our family member. I will NEVER forget!
Oh wooow I love their channel I've been subscribed to them for a min. So happy to see them here!
Hi Awaken Truths & JT & Lady Cee. Love yall guys & dolls❣️💞💕 I'm so happy I've found my favorite channels ever👍🆒️😎✌️❣️❣️❣️❣️🌹🌺👑🎩🎶🎵, Janine Smiley🙂😉😍😋
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this interview! All four of you are such a joy to listen to and watch. Blood just makes you related. It does not make you family. I now have real family and real friends that do not judge me and love me for who I truly am not the fake shell of the person I was inside the cult. Good to have you back Lady C and JT!! ❤
That was so much fun. Love these guys. Found their channel a little while ago and Loving it. Also, gotta Thank Lady Cee for giving me a heightened sense of freedom today. I have been grieving the loss of my family to the Cult, for years now. When Lady Cee said, "Family is overrated," something inside of me profoundly resonated with the truth of that statement. I was ready and it was time. Thank you, Lady Cee. I'm Over it, over them, finally, after so many years.
They are such a GORGEOUS couple!
Yessssss. Finally. I was waiting for this collaboration for a minute
Woohoo!! It FINALLY HAPPENED!!!! I am so happy you guys did this. Love you four!!
Thank you!! We’ve been dreaming of this moment!
@@AwakenTruths As have WE your audience. 🥳 Would LOVE to see them on YOUR show next....Whoop Whoop!🥳🎉
Ah! Favourite collab!❤
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 😊
Great interview! Love this sweet newer couple on RUclips! Love their energy and vibe! Love you Lady Cee and JT for giving us all a platform to speak from and help us to grow in! Love the entire ExJW community! 💗
I watch their show AND yours so I'm SO HAPPY you got together! Keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed your video my four favorite people❤
How exciting! It was nice to see the four of you together!
This is such an excellent discussion!!!
This interview is really nice, and so encouraging to see these two generations collaborating together 😊
❤️ - God be with you "crazy apostate..'. 🎉🎉
Enjoyed the discussion. So glad this young couple Devin & Lexie woke up.Yes the JW have big cliques in KH, so sad they break up families just cause not in same religion or faith. i think with these new rules for JW (celebrate birthdays, blood issues, going to college)that some KH elders will do what want and make own rules or keep old rules. Myself I just faded away like 20 years ago and not regret going back even thought some of my relative still active JW. They ignore me big time and my worldly children. When my mother died it was horrible when went to the funeral since she was active JW and my immediate siblings in truth & out of truth family made me feel like an outsider in front of my children. oh well life goes on and i am not the only one
Thanx. All 4 of you. Am 75. 76 next month. Am proud of future I fought for in the 60s. Thank you all so much. Freedom comes through recognition of true spirituality from within. Thanks and ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What an exciting collab!! 🎉🎉🎉
Great interview especially liked the healing journal idea.
Great interview 🥰
Great Episode!! Please continue to support each other to sustain this incredible momentum!! Illuminating our common experiences will be the only way to enlighten the masses!!
Lady Cee, family is overrated! I felt all of that statement!! Another excellent video.
Yes sir
It's great to see you guys together. I'm subscribed to both channels and you are doing great work!
"Family is overrated." - Lady C telling it as it is. 😂
I really enjoyed seeing you two couples come together ❤
Oh I so enjoyed this!!! This APOSTATE (me) after leaving is learning how to Love, how to Discern, how to live....Hugs to all, real ones.
Wonderful!
This is truly a GREAT interview! JT and Lady Cee, thanks for helping us to see what the younger (for me that's under 40 😁) crew have to say as ex JWs. I subscribe to their channel too. We all have similar but different experiences with this cult. By uplifing one another, we make it through. Hope you guys are recovering well from the accident and keep helping us think CRITICALLY! Peace and Blessings from the ATL! Love U guys!
Great interview JT and Lady Cee. Awaken Truths I'm a big fan of your channel. I'm from Oregon. ❤
Loved this interview. I wish I was brave enough to do an interview with JT and Lady C
Enjoyed this, I was a sub CO and woke up in 2019 and never looked back! Best decision I ever made and yes I agree it felt like a ton of bricks lifted off my back. JT I would be happy to talk further to ya if you want to know of my story.
JT and Lady Cee, I thoroughly enjoyed your interview of Jeven and Alexis. All 4 of you truly inspire me. Sometimes, I get sooooo angry at the JW organization for the hundreds of thousands of lives and dreams they have shattered because of the totally misleading, half truths that JWs peddle to people who are unaware of the danger of this cult. My Dad died 6 months ago and was completely brainwashed. He was baptized in 1949 at 11 years old. He stood fast in his beliefs until the end, even though I firmly believe that he had begun to question some of the JW policies that I would bring to his attention as borderline ridiculous and nothing like what Jesus taught. I just wonder what he would have to say about the beard and pants changes😂. Although my siblings and I were not disfellowshipped, him and his wife still didn't believe in associating with us because we were considered "worldly." Regardless of our "worldly" non-JW status, about 2 years before Dad died, him and his wife happily accepted our worldly money every month when we sent them funds to help them financially.😅 Those people are so lost. Keep on unmasking the JW organization for exactly who they are -- FRAUDS!
Awesome! JT is right, once you become a Critical Thinker, we all have the same exit experiences. Quick thought.….what about all those people who never tried to better themselves and are now poor and desolate, no retirement, no nothing. Sad thought….
The first couple I ever watched on my journey and my new favorite couple to watch! Loved it ❤
We are all on our journey. Same path. Profound. Thanx
Its interesting because Awaken truths reminds me of a younger version of JT Lady C. I ready enjoyed this collab...🥰😉👏🏿
Hey Guys It’s been almost a year since I left the organization, I wanted to thank you for making these videos, They helped me a lot, I send a big hug from Mexico ❤️
The crossover I didn’t know I needed ♥️
My two favorite couples!! What a refreshing interview! Love you guys!
I was juiced to see them finally connect!!! Awesome to see the veterans with the youngstas!!
The two most awesome exJWs couples on YT! So cool that you all got together.
Glad to see you all ! See you on the next one! ❤
I would definitely love to talk to yall about my horrible experience when I was a Jehovah’s Witness
This was so good and I’m so glad both of my favorite couples got to do the interview together ❤️
Excellent 👍🏽Ex JW thinkers . Lady C and JT helped me in the beginning of my exit . It was refreshing and comforting watching their videos and speaking with them. I faded 9 years ago and am happy with my decision and have learned a lot since then.❤
Yo 😊I been hoping this interview would happen my only problem is you’ll didn’t include the bird 🦅 😂😂😂😂
@ExJWCriticalThinker @AwakenTruths I love your channel and rate it number one among all other ExJW channels. Not only because of how respectful and compassionate you are about the brothers and sisters still trapped inside, but also how mature and non-propagandish you are about the message you put out.
I have two reasons for reaching out to you today. Reason one is that I would like to ask whether it's possible to do an educational video on how different NWT is different from the other Bible translations. Where NWT gets it right, and where they get it wrong. And the significance of each of those stories. I asked this because similar videos I saw online are literally trying to totally discredit NWT as a total fraud while passing the other translations as okay. But I was born a Catholic and was so for the first 20 years of my life. I bought my first Bible in 2007 and it was the Good News Translation by the Catholic church. I have always studied watchtower publications with this Bible and didn't think that the Watchtower were misrepresenting the Bible in the important places at all. Also, you can't really say other translations are good but NWT is bad when my Good News Translation literally hid the name Jehovah just at the Glossary at the back! ("In this translation "LORD" stands for the Hebrew name Yahweh (some translations use Jehovah)" they wrote.) So please knowing how mature and non-propagandish you are, I believe a video on NWT would be much welcome by me and other of your fans.
The second reason is to thank you for the sheer fact that you provide this wholesome channel for all of us. You JT and Lady Cee are literally changing lives positively. Personally I have been helped a lot by this channel. I am in Nigeria, and I have two friends in their 60s in England who I share this channel with and they are thankful that you guys exist and they are not going crazy for feeling awkward in this organisation. Well, they are currently in and not yet willing to go public with their disbelief or grief or even the anger, shame and regret we all feel. I am also still in as well. But don't attend meetings nowadays. But I am not too afraid to be "exposed" because I was born a Catholic, therefore my entire nuclear family are not trapped. Just that I have some extended family members who are in and embraced me as soon as I became a witness and was baptized. I am sad that if they find out I am now questioning, they will get disappointed because they rejoiced that they atleast have an extended family member who was going to be saved alongside themselves.
Great interview! Thanks for sharing. I love seeing young ones waking up.
WOW, congratulations of the Healing Journal
we need a part 2!
What a pleasant surprise to see ya'll do this collabo!! ❤❤🔥🔥😎😎😎
Omg!! I am so happy to see them on here! I love both channels so much
Am going to have a blast with this " proper food at the proper time "
My 2 favorite exJWs RUclipsrs. I can’t wait to listen! 😊❤🎉
I love you guys 🙂 I wish you guys had more time to post more stuff 😊
What you said about your Gma battling cancer and passing away, I felt the same way when my aunt died. She was devout witness, died a virgin bc of the organization and to see her suffer I was like Jehovah couldn’t step in???
Love what you do! JT and Lady Cee continued success ❤
