Happy RESURRECTION DAY Allie! Love your channel! Been watching from way back. I'm a never-JW, a prodigal born-again son (out of homosexuality) and drug addict clean now 4 yrs thanks to God! I identified with your AA 12 step program involvement. Just wanted to write short note to say I too enjoy Ruth's RUclips channel. I ran across hers long ago as well. I find your description of her on target. She's so cute and so proper in her delivery etiquette, so very British too. Thanks for your transparency! BTW, I love seeing your mom now and then. Keep on keeping on! ⚔️💕🙏🙏✝️🕊️✝️🙏🙏💞⚔️
4:10 Such a great point about waking people up Ali. God is in control. He even used the devil to test Job. God’s goal is to save as many souls as possible.
@@robertgrey6101 Incorrect. God can use anybody to do his will, even the Devil. Why? He is in full control, and He has given all authority to Christ, in heaven and on earth. This authority is used to save mankind.
9:01 What we really need though Ali is to know God through Christ.(Joh.17:3) It’s about a relationship in the Spirit which takes time. Also, we need to get to know the scriptures, like the Bereans.(Acts 17:11) The Holy Spirit will teach us all things.(Joh. 14:26)
I just listened to this again and realised you’re now back to believing in God and Jesus as being separate beings ie non-Trinitarian. So happy to hear this Ali - this makes sense now. I was praying to Jehovah for an answer and He used you to connect me with others. Much love to you and thank you for endeavouring to seek truth. Jah bless you and may His Son keep appearing in our dreams protecting us from the abuse we’ve received. 🌻💖
Im glad you mentioned ruth moram. I'm going to start listening to her again.im now going to a episcopal church on sundays.its a pretty cozy home. I visited a Presbyterian church for the first time ever a few Sundays ago. During the week I attend a variety of churches. I've been visiting a Lutheran Bible study on thursdays. I've also been visiting community centers sometimes during the week. It's been a lot of fun listening to well-known apologists from many different branches of Christianity.Ali I always enjoy listening to youre videos.Keep up the good work. Christianity needs a lot more Christians like you.
2:22 I didn’t realize there were so many vices! Oh wait.....yes I did. Thank you God and Christ for your deliverance.....um.....as continuous works in progress.
As an ex-JW searching for truth, I have found some comfort in the Calvary Chapel preachers such as Jack Hibbs. I think the body of Christ is believers in Christ and his sacrifice, not a particular church or sect. Churches should help guide people in interpretation of the bible, not makeup their own rules and regulations. I also think no church has everything exactly right. The best thing that happened to the JWs is the governing body because they are driving away people from this cult.
I love Jack Hibbs. He is great. Mike Winger at Bible Thinker on RUclips is also a wonderful Bible teacher. He also has a Calvary Chapel background. My husband was raised JW and is a born again Christian now. His entire family is still in, but he wasn't baptized so they still talk to him even though he continues trying to reach them.
@@DaisyDayz1 I also listen to Mike Winger as well as Jack Hibbs. The Calvary Chapel ministers seem pretty solid to me, If you are interested in Israel news Amir Tsarfati gives a good update. The JWs seem to believe that they have replaced the Jews in bible prophecy.
Happy Easter I am a practicing Catholic Christian married to a man who is a practicing Jehovah's Witness. The memorial is the biggest challenge me and my husband face as a couple. All I want to encourage you to do is stay Christian. Remember Christ died for sinners. Mercy for sinners and love for those who wish to repent and follow is example of service.❤
@@prodigalAliJesus 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???? and what is Christmas, Goodfriday, and Easter according to the Bible?
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???? and what is Christmas, Goodfriday and Easter according to the Bible???????
You may not believe this but it is true. Two Jehovah witnesses used to visit me and my mum and it went on for months - not being well versed in bible back then left me with doubts and I got so upset when they insisted that Jesus wasn't divine, that I cried for hours at one point. Anyway it made me study scripture even harder, and one night I had the most horrendous dream the two JW's came to my house and as they walked through the door the walls all stated to run black and as they talked to me they turned into two completely different women, and I said: "your not joan and barb your witches". I woke up sweating and tried to calm myself down, I then got two books from library, 'Thirty Years a watchtower slave', and 'Back to Christianity' In the 2nd book a few pages in the autour wrote: "A subversion of truth can be termed a cult or Witchcraft. I thank the Holy Spirit for is awakening, I don't dislike JW's, I pray they will come to know the love of God in His true nature.

Hi Ali What a beautiful setting in your background. You look lovely today. I always appreciate your sharing thoughts, thank you. Enjoyed the music too. 🎵 happy anniversary day of Jesus’ resurrection 🩸
12 Step programs are the best.. I did alanon for many years.. it was a life saver.. it is not a cult... not even close... and you will know a cult when you see one for the rest of your life..
Ali - congrats on your 12 step recovery. After I was unduly disfellowshipped at 17 with my parents and brother being the 2 witness rule for smoking cigarettes in 1973 thwarting my goals and dream to go to Bethel , after the summer I went away to babysit my cousins and came back and my brother ratted me out to my parents, for smoking who were also smoking. But that summer they came out with the edict no more smoking, older smokers were given 6-12 months to quit and those who just started it was to be immediately. After being instantaneously disfellowshipped, kicked out of my house, thrown out in the middle of my senior year, into the world they had warned us about as punishment, after 14 years growing up as a JW, pioneering etc, I vowed never to return and I would despite their ominous predictions, succeed. So out of anger and fear I turned to the vices I had witnessed my father partake in without impunity. It was a slow descent into alcoholism but the gene is in my family and I knew what was ahead of me given my father and grandfather were practicing alcoholics. Despite my succeeding in the world, a stint in the military, getting college through the GI bill and graduating with a BA in psychology, and creating a successful career paths, I inwardly felt lost., confused and angry. Long story short, at 30 I entered my first AA meeting and oddly it felt so like home. Thankfully, I hadn’t descended to all the yets, yet and felt lucky, i was irritable, angry and discontent, not a great combination to live by. I agreed to attend and do the 12 steps as I was wanting to get an like and owners manual for living that JWs deprived me in the wake of preaching the end of the world. Thankfully, with the help of a loving, kind sponsor, who wanted nothing from me but my recovery of my self and to work the steps of AA, coupled with grit , mustering the determination and diligence I learned as a kid , I have stayed sober. The bonus was that I could create a relationship with God of my understanding. It took a lot of undoing from the angry vengeful god I had grown up with, to a concept of a higher power that I didn’t quite understand to 37 years later of an intimate relationship with a God that continues to grow and unfold. Finding your channel a few years ago, helped to begin to heal my painful disfellowshipped seething anger and resentment of losing my childhood, ,my faith, friends and family. It’s been layer by layer slow emotional sobriety and recovery. Seeing your mom and you and watching other channels has been such a healing balm. In 2015, My brother and father returned after they too had been disfellowshipped for years and it has split the family wide apart again. My father died in 2020 a reformed JW. My brother continues to be a self righteous reformed JW advocate, and has fallen back into the cult. It is painful to witness and to see how miserable he is and how it fuels his narcissism and self righteous shunning and every 2-3 months I have received preaching texts that are supposedly because he loves me but it’s just often a bullying session. Anyway, I usually watch these videos and never speak up. I almost went to the Memorial this year as I was contacted by a local sister who tried in 2015 to love bomb me at a very low point in my life as I recovered from a traumatic brain injury. She couldn’t wait to tell me of all the changes that I brought up as red flags back then. Luckily I found the ex JW RUclips videos and saw I was not alone in my pain and experience. It was the day of the Memorial and I woke up and I realized my motives were selfish ,curious and not authentic. Thank goodness for my recovery in Alanon as well for past 18;years. I couldn’t go despite I could wear slacks, and texted the sister, and said I couldn’t go in good conscience,shared I had some observations to share if she was interested. Clearly, she lovingly told me, if it was negative things about the organization, she was not interested. Of course I wanted to wake her up to all the things, and I got that was not my job, even though my old JW programming was nigglingnin my head to save her…she cautioned me it not to believe all what I read…I sighed, took that communication and what I had written but didn’t send her, placed it in my note file, as I will this post, for when I finally write this part of my memoir. I am enjoying all you ex JWs who did attend the Memorial. I see I didn’t miss much and needn’t have subjected myself to the triggering and discomfort seeing that it’s grown even more cultish and they seem desperate as JWs hemorrhage from the mass exodus since Covid. Thank you Ali for your videos, for being a woman in recovery, your openness about it all and speaking your truth for all of that have been impacted growing up or our years in the cult. It’s been a healing balm for me and I can only imagine for many others. A share at a time, a day at a time. Thank you. Happy resurrection day… I am grateful to waking up and many others joining us, being reborn into a life that was nothing like what they peddled with such fear. We got out alive, scarred perhaps, many did not.
If I believe the earth is a million years old & you believe it’s 7,000 years old, will God answer everyone’s questions in the end? Or will he say, it doesn’t matter, you humans should have been more concerned with what really was important during your lifetime! I believe we all will be surprised someday!
I've been there " should I go , should I join again " .. don't , find a nice prayerhouse , personally I tried several before I settled in a free church .. Jesus loves you and He is The Way , The Truth and The Life
I honestly don’t know if there is a Jesus but I do know there is scripture after scripture about his love for Mann. If you truly care about somebody, you care about all of that somebody and anything I’ve ever ever heard about Jesus that he truly cares about everybody that is not watchtower.
Read Jude 1, 2 Cor. 10:4, 2 Peter 3:9, Provide. 25:21. and remember only the Lord Jesus knows our hearts, regardless of what some read onto it. He knows if we have been brainwashed by no fault of our own. He knows if we have been saved for wrath because He knows the beginning from the end. If it be His will, He will turn the hearts of the blind and remove the vail. Because He knows our hearts from before we were born. Speak it to Him. Say; I would like to believe in You, please reveal Yourself to me… And He will. Through His Spirit.
Jw's have committed the unforgivable sin (besides taking out and changing scriptures that prove Jesus's deity) The Holy Spirit is God. It's blasphemy to call the Holy Spirit 'a force'. Acts 5:3-4 [3]But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? [4]Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 😇
I take also a biblical unitarian position after leaven the org. But i don’t take problems With Christian’s who are trinitarian, knowing God is not About if you know that he is 1 person instead of 3 , but knowing his personality. I have learned a lot from trinitarians, in fact most podcast I follow are trinitarian. Just eat the meat and leave the bones .
I love your videos. Just clarifying, the stipulations some people put on us…which is good. I have a Question: I noticed you do quite a few videos in your car or outside. Is there a reason? I think I’ve asked you once before. Is there a way my texts and messages be intercepted? Or at least read by someone out side of your podcast? I believe you answer that there is a way “they” can, but you believe there are bigger fish to fry. But in my settings I found this.. “ privacy warning; this network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic the names of websites and other servers your device access is on this network will be monitored and recorded by other devices on this net work” so, my thought is that my cousin ( whom I WAS staying with ) was reading my texts emails and other things. Or do you think “ they” are monitoring her? ( as well as me because I was in her home) would they really stoop that low? It’s just that she would say things that I know I didn’t talk to her about. Just glad I’m out of that creepy atmosphere, for now. If anyone reads this and knows of such a thing, please give ideas suggestions or the like. ( you just mentioned..”pushy”…that’s my cousin) She’s extremely pushy and manipulative. She calls it influential and “ like she sees it” but what’s she’s missing is, she’s not correct! lol. lol.. stand at carts and look at your phones… that’s what she does, lololol. And zoom listening to some old lady blow smoke up her skirt.
I've come to the same conclusion, who cares about the Trinity. I don't understand why people like Beaorean picks it apart like he has special knowledge. The best Trinitarian teachers I've heard say its not a salvation issue and it doesn't matter. Love is the identifier so if it tramples on that it's a problem, that's why I can't believe in Hell and I'm a Christian Universalist because that makes sense to me from what the bible says was the point, but I could be wrong and that's not the stuff I'm a Christ follower for.
The piece of the puzzle you guys in this sphere are missing is the world of the conspiracies. I know it sounds ridiculous. But without that information you are still adrift.
@prodigalAli I mean there is without a shadow of a doubt a group of men and women pulling the strings and they worship the serpent. For thousands of years passing their strange teachings down generation after generation. They have a plan and it's unfolding before our very eyes in this era. Their influence is in every single professional area you can think of including music and government and holidays and the days of the week. And do you know who told is all about this? JW
JW arent the only people involved in Jahs will. you're right. but think of them as the current Levites. they represent the cleanest most accurate path to worshipping the Almighty. your gripe is with some reckless individual im sure. not the actual organization which I challenge anyone to name a better one.
@prodigalAli the bruise you in the heel thing remember? whats his name has "children" and they run everything. and remember his goal is to lead everyone away from the correct answers.....
If you want to be a true adherent Christian, then you should partake of the emblems, that's Jesus's instructions and shows your loyalty to him , when you are a JWS you are indoctrinated to show your loyalty to those men. ......WRONG
I really like the content in this channel until the subject is talking about a human conception that doesn´t exist.... At least not as human religions/cults describe it. That would be the 1st impression, a concept to dominate/control other humans... If not enough, please go and research facts like.... Judgment Day is a concept that passed from Zoroastrianism into early judaism (Akkadian empire - Babylon) and later christianity and islam... Like "paradis" the zoroastrian concept of paradise, or the flood (Epic of Gilgamesh). So, right from the start, forget about "armageddon" being real. What about the Thera eruption (not "god") being the cause of the "plagues", and the parting of the waters (proven tsunamis that reached as far as modern Gaza coastline - please do compare the "plagues" to similar events related to the Mt St Helen´s eruption in the 80´s - unless off course that "god" was, once again, trying to free some folks there too )? Forget about hebrews, jews, or slaves in Egypt (mainly in Ramses III period) and forget about the Exodus, forget "the promised land" and the 40 years in the desert (no single evindence was found in the Sinai desert about such crowd of people and, believe me, archaeologists did put a strong effort on it). Isn´t that ENOUGH to prove that religions are false? What else does one need? Concerning jesus... the same! For he is only one of many to be born from a virgin, died to save everyone and ascended to heaven.... A classic! Why should I believe such obvious manipulation? Which "jesus" was the real one (it seems none)? For that I cannot subscribe. Perhaps some day :)
Not true. That is misinformation and isn't based on actual history. Easter translates to some derivative of Pascha: the Hebrew word for Passover. Pascua de Resurreccion in Spanish, Pasqua in Italian, Pâques in French. English’s name for the holiday is the exception, not the rule-and a complete look at the holiday’s etymology makes clear its roots are Hebraic, not pagan. Easter is a Christian holiday
what y'all are missing is the info found in the conspiracy theory realm. once you stop being emotional about whatever elder stepped on your toes, start researching. then you will truly understand what this world is
I love you so much! Keep waking them up.
Tony Morris woke me up! I agree with your understanding of God. I love just reading the Bible and wondering. It’s okay.
Tony Morris woke you up how?
@@mrm8850 His insane talks about tight pants and sisters not wearing yoga pants. It really made me mad.

Ali - congrats on your 12 step recovery. After I was unduly disfellowshipped at 17 with my parents and brother being the 2 witness rule for smoking cigarettes in 1973 thwarting my goals and dream to go to Bethel , after the summer I went away to babysit my cousins and came back and my brother ratted me out to my parents, for smoking who were also smoking. But that summer they came out with the edict no more smoking, older smokers were given 6-12 months to quit and those who just started it was to be immediately.

Ali how can I find you on Facebook? Love your videos.. and would like to message you... I can't find a email addy here?
The truth never leaves yuo ever yuor bin misled
depends on what is really true.
good morning you are Jehova witness the came me home many years now i stape you are single or married woman you speak Italian or no thank you grazie
I honestly don’t know if there is a Jesus but I do know there is scripture after scripture about his love for Mann. If you truly care about somebody, you care about all of that somebody and anything I’ve ever ever heard about Jesus that he truly cares about everybody that is not watchtower.
Read Jude 1, 2 Cor. 10:4, 2 Peter 3:9, Provide. 25:21. and remember only the Lord Jesus knows our hearts, regardless of what some read onto it. He knows if we have been brainwashed by no fault of our own. He knows if we have been saved for wrath because He knows the beginning from the end. If it be His will, He will turn the hearts of the blind and remove the vail. Because He knows our hearts from before we were born. Speak it to Him. Say; I would like to believe in You, please reveal Yourself to me… And He will. Through His Spirit.
Jw's have committed the unforgivable sin (besides taking out and changing scriptures that prove Jesus's deity)
The Holy Spirit is God.
It's blasphemy to call the Holy Spirit 'a force'.
Acts 5:3-4
[3]But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
[4]Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 😇
I take also a biblical unitarian position after leaven the org.
But i don’t take problems
With Christian’s who are trinitarian, knowing God is not
About if you know that he is 1 person instead of 3 , but knowing his personality.
I have learned a lot from trinitarians, in fact most podcast I follow are trinitarian.
Just eat the meat and leave the bones .
I love your videos. Just clarifying, the stipulations some people put on us…which is good. I have a Question: I noticed you do quite a few videos in your car or outside. Is there a reason? I think I’ve asked you once before. Is there a way my texts and messages be intercepted? Or at least read by someone out side of your podcast? I believe you answer that there is a way “they” can, but you believe there are bigger fish to fry. But in my settings I found this.. “ privacy warning; this network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic the names of websites and other servers your device access is on this network will be monitored and recorded by other devices on this net work” so, my thought is that my cousin ( whom I WAS staying with ) was reading my texts emails and other things.
Or do you think “ they” are monitoring her? ( as well as me because I was in her home) would they really stoop that low? It’s just that she would say things that I know I didn’t talk to her about. Just glad I’m out of that creepy atmosphere, for now.
If anyone reads this and knows of such a thing, please give ideas suggestions or the like. ( you just mentioned..”pushy”…that’s my cousin) She’s extremely pushy and manipulative. She calls it influential and “ like she sees it” but what’s she’s missing is, she’s not correct! lol.
lol.. stand at carts and look at your phones… that’s what she does, lololol. And zoom listening to some old lady blow smoke up her skirt.
@@Hischild8257
Hi Hischild, I have an exjw friend who says that elders use her tech-saavy JW son to spy on exjw websites.
I've come to the same conclusion, who cares about the Trinity. I don't understand why people like Beaorean picks it apart like he has special knowledge. The best Trinitarian teachers I've heard say its not a salvation issue and it doesn't matter. Love is the identifier so if it tramples on that it's a problem, that's why I can't believe in Hell and I'm a Christian Universalist because that makes sense to me from what the bible says was the point, but I could be wrong and that's not the stuff I'm a Christ follower for.
22 nd April is resurrection Jewish calendar not Easter
Ali you're my wife!
Did you take the jab?
Hi there,
U need a professional RUclips thumbnail designer?
So your actually saying happy Easter now wow..
The piece of the puzzle you guys in this sphere are missing is the world of the conspiracies. I know it sounds ridiculous. But without that information you are still adrift.
What do you mean specifically?
@prodigalAli I mean there is without a shadow of a doubt a group of men and women pulling the strings and they worship the serpent. For thousands of years passing their strange teachings down generation after generation. They have a plan and it's unfolding before our very eyes in this era. Their influence is in every single professional area you can think of including music and government and holidays and the days of the week. And do you know who told is all about this? JW
JW arent the only people involved in Jahs will. you're right. but think of them as the current Levites. they represent the cleanest most accurate path to worshipping the Almighty. your gripe is with some reckless individual im sure. not the actual organization which I challenge anyone to name a better one.
let me see if I can find a series of words the robot will allow... 😂
@prodigalAli the bruise you in the heel thing remember? whats his name has "children" and they run everything. and remember his goal is to lead everyone away from the correct answers.....
You don’t need to be a JW to be an alcoholic.
Of course you dont. My personal story of drinking definitely began with my JW associates...hiding it, etc. And lots of judicial meetings.
Are you the daughter of Jehovah 4 real? They sounds the same lol
I am. Im a child of God. So are you!
If you want to be a true adherent Christian, then you should partake of the emblems, that's Jesus's instructions and shows your loyalty to him , when you are a JWS you are indoctrinated to show your loyalty to those men. ......WRONG
Ciao sei single donna
Lol. No. Im married
Come back plese do
16:48 JW’s.......we’re the only ones preaching.....(1Cor.14:36).
true but giving out the wrong message.
No, thats not true... other churches do evangelise....
@@debbie-annmariemorgan8812 Correct.✅
I really like the content in this channel until the subject is talking about a human conception that doesn´t exist.... At least not as human religions/cults describe it. That would be the 1st impression, a concept to dominate/control other humans... If not enough, please go and research facts like.... Judgment Day is a concept that passed from Zoroastrianism into early judaism (Akkadian empire - Babylon) and later christianity and islam... Like "paradis" the zoroastrian concept of paradise, or the flood (Epic of Gilgamesh). So, right from the start, forget about "armageddon" being real. What about the Thera eruption (not "god") being the cause of the "plagues", and the parting of the waters (proven tsunamis that reached as far as modern Gaza coastline - please do compare the "plagues" to similar events related to the Mt St Helen´s eruption in the 80´s - unless off course that "god" was, once again, trying to free some folks there too )? Forget about hebrews, jews, or slaves in Egypt (mainly in Ramses III period) and forget about the Exodus, forget "the promised land" and the 40 years in the desert (no single evindence was found in the Sinai desert about such crowd of people and, believe me, archaeologists did put a strong effort on it). Isn´t that ENOUGH to prove that religions are false? What else does one need? Concerning jesus... the same! For he is only one of many to be born from a virgin, died to save everyone and ascended to heaven.... A classic! Why should I believe such obvious manipulation? Which "jesus" was the real one (it seems none)? For that I cannot subscribe. Perhaps some day :)
Appreciate your comment. Glad we all have the freedom to research and believe in what makes sense to each of us
easter is a fertility god not so Happy.
Not true. That is misinformation and isn't based on actual history.
Easter translates to some derivative of Pascha: the Hebrew word for Passover. Pascua de Resurreccion in Spanish, Pasqua in Italian, Pâques in French. English’s name for the holiday is the exception, not the rule-and a complete look at the holiday’s etymology makes clear its roots are Hebraic, not pagan.
Easter is a Christian holiday
Resurrection Sunday isnt...
Still pagan.. Though I left watchtower but I have my principles. No pagan celebration
what y'all are missing is the info found in the conspiracy theory realm. once you stop being emotional about whatever elder stepped on your toes, start researching. then you will truly understand what this world is
