I still have ptsd and lots of anger. I know the feeling of my stomach turning and knowing that I could not listen any more. This has been very helpful in my healing. Thank you all!!!!

    I thank you so much for you channel. I was raised in the organization and was baptized at the age of 12. I became pregnant at 15 and I was kicked out of my home and all my family members were witnesses, so no one would take me in and I became homeless. I was traumatized. I eventually came back because I needed my family. I was reinstated, but I left the truth a few years later because I just couldn’t forgive what they did to me! I feel ruined from believing in a god! So much has been robbed from me! I have recently came across your channel and it is so comforting to me. Thank you

      Imagine if Korah had his own RUclips channel!
      Korah knew Moses better than anyone just about, being his first cousin and all.
      He knew the problems too within the camp, and how the 'sausage is made' when the judges of Israel met together to discuss problems and concerns within the camp, and how to deal with them.
      With all Korah knew about Moses, either from gossip going around an isolated group removed from the rest of civilization, (where gossip spreads as fast there as a small congregation in a small town) or, something he witnessed himself that concerned him, Korah could of felt obligated to start up his own channel on RUclips to voice his concerns. He had to draw the line somewhere, right? And just like JT and all of you, he had to take his stand!
      Yet, would RUclips change the way God feels about Moses, or would that change the way YOU feel about him?

    I had brunch with my childhood “friend” yesterday after almost 3 years of not seeing her. She’s PIMI, I’m not disfellowshipped so she still contacts me about once-a-year. She and her husband have a photography/videography business mostly for weddings. I asked her what they do when it’s off-season for work. She said they travel to locations in our area where there is “good news” about the religion, take video or photos, to then supply to Warwick to send off to newspapers to basically promote the good side of JW’s. So if they’re helping in regards to the virus, disaster relief, etc. They will put those stories in the papers to show what good people and what a good religion it is. I was speechless. They’re trying to quiet all the noise and the news that makes them look bad with these stories of good deeds. Image is everything to them!

    This interview was very therapeutic for my soul. I’ve been out of this wicked cult for three years now and would rather die than go back. I fully empathize with all the emotions that someone experiences once they realize how they’ve been duped by a extremely controlling corporation governed by men, not God. I lost my former wife and children including most of my extended family members and every JW ‘friend’ I once associated with. Depression is real. I manage daily to cope with great anger, frustration, and sadness due to being involved with the JW Cult. Thank you for these videos because it only shores up my belief that the ‘truth’ was never the truth. Critical thinking is essential in order to be FREE!

I was sacred that my husband would have divorced me and I was scared of shunning. My nephew at 17 told the family he did not want to be a witness and the family was getting down on him. I remember feeling like I can’t allow this to happen to him. I spoke up on his behalf. I decided to tell my husband that I no longer wanted to attend the meetings. Crying talking screaming I told him… my husband was PIMO and had been for 15 years…. I was shocked… my whole family left 2019…. We are not disfellowship yet but at this point I don’t care!

    Believe whatever you want to believe, disgree if you want, but stay in the truth. And thus, the PIMO was born. Once your eyes are opened and you know the truth, you MUST act on it, there is no "just stay in". Human beings are simply not programmed to function with such incongruence, we must believe what we're doing otherwise it just doesn't work! And what about when we find out something we were doing or something we believed was totally wrong? We must change! Excellent excellent videos guys. I must say, in general I love the resolve that these brothers from other countries have. They find out the truth about the truth and they act on that, no fence sitting.

This is very current as this weeks WT study (Par 11) instructs JW's to override their natural thinking ability by just accepting direction that "does not make sense to us", and this is enforced with fear of disobedience resulting in death as a result of "the storm coming on the wicked".

    Excellent interview. It's amazing how scared we all feel when we wake up, I woke up in the pandemic and already had several doubts, but I was always too afraid to ask I had doubts about the generation, about the use of blood fractions, I also didn't like preaching, I was happy with the pandemic and felt guilty for being happy. So I started researching with a lot of fear, after I discovered the lies I entered the zoom link, turned down the volume and watched the "apostate" channels. LOL.

    The more I've listened to Apostate YTubes, the more shocked I am about the shunning. I faded some 40 yrs ago, but no family in the cult, so faced no shunning. I realise now what a soft landing I had. Its only now when I hear these personal stories that it breaks my heart for all my former brothers and sisters - we are all one family now of Apostates - there, I've said it now. I've pasted the label on myself, and I'm perfectly OK with that. Even though I'd faded 40 yrs ago, I thought I was wicked and they still had the Truth - and I used to say so. Then in mid October 2021, I listened to an "Apostate JW" YT with much trepidation. It look 1 hour - 1 short hour, to make me do a 180 degree turn around. Something I NEVER thought would happen. But I'm glad I had the courage to carry on listening. My life changed in that 1 hour. Then reading Crisis of Conscience was the COMPLETE destruction of my ability to EVER go back. I will never be seen in a Kingdom Hall again as long as I draw breath in my body. I am free.

      @Kevin Randall. The Society is brutal. Elders and Circuit Overseers are often brutal. It's about time they understand the laws of sowing and reaping (Hos. 8:7; Gal. 6:7-8). A brutal, scathing letter is what the elders deserve. Your pattern is not unlike that of Jesus. He was gentle and firm with hurting, searching people. He was brutally firm with the hypocrites, AKA the scribes and Pharisees. Congratulations on your freedom! Jesus is the truth!!

    I really appreciate this. I studied with the Witnesses in 2015 after independently coming to similar theological beliefs as them on certain issues. I was really excited that they were the "truth" I was looking for, but I couldn't understand why the same critical thinking skills that helped me come to a more accurate understanding of the Bible (on which the Witnesses themselves even agreed) would have to be immediately abandoned after I was baptized! I'm very grateful I didn't make one of the biggest mistakes of my life in joining the organization.

    If Elders applied the same standards to themselves as they did when appointing other elders none of them would be able to serve, which was one of the many issues that led to me discontinuing my association with this organization, appointments seemed to primarily focused on how buddy buddy the brother was with some of the elders in the cong rather than focusing on bible principles.

I came out in 1984, no Internet, all my studying from library and I became interested in lateral thinking and all of that. Also liked to read anyway and books like 1984 by George Orwell certainly hit home. But mainly I also read different translations and looked closely at the interlinear NWT. I still believed so went to church for 7 years firstly before taking a closer more indepth look at the bible itself. I am a spiritual person but not religious now. Only thing wt said right for me was religion is a snare and a racket ( judge Rutherford). Lots of love exjw from across the pond. X

It’s so much more than wrong doing…. No infidelity or such matters. I suffer the loss of my adult son. I smoke and abuse alcohol. I hide myself in shame from them. I hope I never hear from them again. They know the story- maybe out of compassion they hold off. . I hold my breath constantly that they won’t add to my burden. It would devastate my life.

      Thank you JT for your interest. I know that a more rational view would be to acknowledge that they do have a somewhat limited effect on my life… they don’t pay my bills but they lord over me the prospect of loosing my family. Already I experience the shunning of close family and friends. Self righteous members that say their devotion to Jehovah is what drives their actions despite their suffering at loosing me. There is no reasoning with them. In fact I could not share my thoughts-- they’re content to accept I’m spiritual weak and have been beaten down by this system. They believe that I should pull it together because of their hope of the resurrection. After 3 years I’m still struggling with my loss.
