I remember going to assembly's "conventions" and helping out in the parking dept. Oh what a privilege that was🙄. All they ever did was raise more questions that they wouldn't and couldn't answer. What a BIG waste of a portion of our lives.
iPilott4411, the most prestige privlege is to not have a privilege. That’s the real blessing
I remember volunteering for this and thinking it was such a privilege. now looking back on it, where were the elders at? oh yeah sitting right next to their wives in the cool AC. Really showing "leadership"
I didnt leave because of policy. Honestly, I left because I spent 30 yrs suppressing my sexual identity and it was killing me. My body was sick with anxiety, pain, depression. I just reached a breaking point. And when i left i burned every bridge behind me so my family and the religion couldnt come after me. I left the country and traveled 3000 miles away from my home just to get away (and to stay with a "friend" id met online) 😉
"Reinstatement Party"? I was a witness over 30 years and aint I never heard of that😂🤣.
ME EITHER!!!! LMAO
I heard of them happening before, but then again I was a double lifer too .
Cardboard Box - Seems to me not a time to party. If you're being reinstated, that's depressing. More like a time to mourn.
If im being completely honest the party wasnt 100% dedicated to me. we were 3 single dudes in our mid 20s. we had a party like twice a month. my reinstatement meeting just happen to happen the day of. lol
It may also be a southside of chicago thing, i been to a few reinstatement parties.
I was having doubts. The last convention I went to I remember a demonstration of a JW woman staying strong at work and not eating lunch with a coworker. I thought how can anyone think this is ok. My mother's funeral was the last straw. 5 min was about her. The rest propaganda. I'm glad I lived a bit of a double life too. Sure wish I left when I was 18 and went to university. That will always be a regret. But so glad I stopped worrying what others thought.... No relationship is worth living a lie or a life that doesn't make you happy. If so called family and friends want to put religion over their relationship with you then that's their choice. Their life. Not yours.
I couldn’t agree with more. I wish I knew then what I know now.
You should be proud of yourself for being a strong women who can say "If so called family and friends want to put religion over their relationship with you then that's their choice" If more people had that strength JW #'s would be even lower
@@jwnomore2488 thank you. It is a hard choice but I've learned that your own mental health needs to be out first. I have see far too much depression in that religion and realize now it's because of the lifestyle. Nobody is worth being unhappy your whole life
I left the Jehovah's witnesses because I didn't like their judicial meetings
Bad marriage, could not handle all the time they expected. My husband had NO love for me. Only lost one "friend".
This organization is not a "one size fit all" no religion or organization is, so I don't understand why JW'S treat a person the way they do for expressing freedom of religion.
Because it’s not about making people lives better. It’s about fattening up their wallets!!!
You smoked the night you got reinstated LMAO!!!!! I had to rewatch the video how did I miss that the first time watching LOL
It was weed 🍁
Why did I leave? In a nutshell I was df. This was long before all of the organizatinal dirt, lies and internet. I was a straight-laced JW you couldn't get a nicer Jehovah loving person than myself. Due to my marriage there was indiscretion something that I know I should have never been df for.
Like you said there were people who had a revolving door to the back room. Each time they were reinstated in about 6 months. It's all political. I did my letter about a year later. Denied! When I asked why I was told only by one "We'll just let you stay out there a little longer" I told them don't leave me out there too long and I'm not writing another nothing. Well the next time I heard from them it was 4 years later trying to get me to come back. By then it was way too late. I didn't live a wild life it was just a free life. I felt so free. I did lose my family and friends but it was worth it because I could be there today. I really ought to give that arrogant bastard a kiss. I left by default and have never been happier.
I had been studying the Bible on my own (oh the horror) and was really having issues with some fairly minor things, and had really come to the realization that they did not have a monopoly on God. Then I moved, and had been assured that someone from the local congregation would be contacting me. While I was there, that didn't happen. (I heard later that they came by a month after I moved out). I figured if that's how bad they want me, I don't need to be with them.
Yeah you hit it right on the nose bruh. I had the same similar experience and thats exactly what drove me to leave too, especially when you have facts and documents to back it up. There was no going back afterwards. At that point you become aware of the con game they've been playing all this time. And they know this which is ashame.. smh
A lot to my story, but basically came in at 10yrs old, baptised at 18 (cause that's just what u do). Out by 21 yrs old. NEVER FELT RIGHT 4 me. I could see JW's were no better than anybody else. Saw the hypocrisy.
My doubts started with the Over-Lapping Generations teachings. Then came the Child Abuse Cases. Then came the 2014 Annual Meeting with the Tight Pants talk. And the straw that broke the Camel's back was the 2016 "Remain Loyal to Jehovah" Regional Convention (aka worst convention EVER). After that convention, I finally started to do some research. The first channel I followed was ExJW Fifth, followed by John Cedars and ExJW Critical Thinking. Almost immediately I decided to read 'Crisis of Conscience', and that was it. After reading that book, I WOKE UP! The cherry on top was the Australian Royal commission.
Watch "Daro Weilburg's" videos to clear up all your apostate stupidity!
Overlapping crap. Most unrealistic formula ever heard. 🤔🤔
@@jw-rod60 - Thanks for your comment. I needed a good laugh!
Bro, you make me laugh, but you raise issues that at times we tend to ignore, I like that. I am addicted to your channel.👊🏿
Thank you for rockin with me 👍🏽👍🏽😎 I appreciate it.
Yes i agree Jay personally I found black people to be much more in tune with their spiritual side and it does seem very very one sided with 7 white men and a black brother is he a token i say to myself 🤔🤔
Exactly!!! This is what lead to more questions
Sooo true...where are asian or another race GB member! On top of them switching from the 144,000 being FADS CLASS TO ONLY THOSE 8 CLOWNS. LIKE WTF
I didn't even write a letter of reinstatement! I went one day to the meeting and an elder approaches me with the usual "Can you stay after the meeting?" And they just let me know that the body of elders had decided to reinstate me... just like that.
Wow, Efrain!! I pioneered for years but never allowed the organization to impede on many of my Cultural beliefs (like, higher education), As Haitians have strong beliefs in being educated.
Hey Jay I stumbled upon the royal commission but it upset me but I still went to the convention because of obligation to my mom who lives with me. Even though I told her about Jeffrey Jackson in the trial you know that wasn’t enough for her and she really didn’t listen so we went to the convention in ugly Tucson and low and behold he’s Jeffrey giving a talk I almost threw up I got up and left went outside in my car hit something to calm down a little oil in a tube if you know what I mean. Then I surpressed it until I just started to search JWs again and the I found true faced critical thinking John cedars , And best of all Smurf Girl and the freemasonry that WOKE MY ASS UP that was July of this year 2019 and I went pimo . As of this week I decided to stop going to the Hall I can’t do it anymore I get anxious and nervous just cannot sit through the fake bullshit so last night didn’t go, it hard be I have a JW pioneer that lives with me and my whole family is in WTH help me
Jungle Boogie ... just use mental stress.. fatigue..anxiety.. agoraphobia.. as a reason to have a break..
.. don’t ask questions or criticise anything..
.. change all of your phone numbers( and if convenient.. your address).. and fade into the background.
Don’t have any meetings with anyone and don’t answer any questions from the pharisees or give opinions on anything..don’t tell anyone anything.
.. see.. easy.. 😳
And concentrate on yourself for a while..
.. work hard.. learn more.. become more self sufficient so that you have a strong identity.
That way people who come and go in your life will not crumble your existence.
I have my wife, kids and g/kids.. that’s all I need.
The people on YT and the experiences they share, helped me a lot to not feel alone in my thoughts.
This is merely my experience and opinion..but I am old and enjoy sitting at home nowadays.
The hour is up... that’ll be $150 please.
@@steann1 $150 not bad. reasonable. LOL... but I think he should start building relationships outside the org. so he can have network of friends because once they catch up with him they're not going to leave him alone.
JULIA BANN ... hard to trust people when ones ‘friends’ turn on you..
and we were indoctrinated that everyone else was apostate or worldly..
I use the barrier nursing technique(work that one out)...
.. plus I am a grumpy old man and don’t crave other peoples friendship...just acquaintance..
... I still get into trouble though.. just sitting in my chair.. 🤪
Ugly Tucson lol I went to a couple conventions down there, summer 2016 + 2018. Lloyd Evans is what woke me. I like Smurf girl too, and she's from here!
I left in 2016, at the age of 72, why I left? Because somebody put in Facebook the ARC trial, I saw it because it said that the JWs were been investigated for child abuse! After days of watching it, I turned to other videos, activist videos, and never again I visited a KH! That was in April and May I sent my DS letter!
I left because of things that I saw in the org that I didn't like. Shunning, Spousal abuse (I was one of two witness for a sister that was beaten by her husband and one of the elders said its ok for a husband to hit his wife every now and then), Physical Child abuse and Sexual Child abuse (everyone in the cong knew that this a brother from the neighboring cong had sexually abused this young teenage girl in my cong. sure he was DF'd but the police weren't called. Yeah he was DF'd but this young girl wasn't offered counseling and was treated like damaged goods.) As a teenage girl one of the elders when ever he would talk to me only looked at my breast and it was a joke to bend your knees to see if you could meet his eyes. These are all things I've seen in this organization and this isn't even everything. Once I got into my early 20's I asked myself how can this be the Truth? These aren't one off's like they would like you to believe so I faded.
I wrote to apostate chick and she said that she will be back soon on posting videos
Thank you for this video. I was wondering recently how I could find your "why I left" video. Then here you are giving us one
1975. Then I learned that it happened before. Same false prophecies just a different year.
What, specially, did you learn from Apostate Chick that started you on your journey? What question(s) did she answer?
Have you ever had one of your double life squad members go straight and become super dubs ?
Yeah a few actually. I know some elders that use to be double lyfe squad!!!
I was never in but what made me stop the Bible study was the JW who was SO proud of the fact that she was uneducated. My family had been involved with the civil rights movement in the south since the 1930s. And one huge issue was the deficient education that Black people were getting . My reaction was , OH HELL NO !!!!!
I honestly confess I had soo lol many reasons for leaving, I can't make up my mind.Not getting answers was one of them, you rebel with a cause lol.Aww, I love the edutainment lol education/entertainment.Take care, love, thanks again and you're welcome.
No matter what I did, I felt I wasn't good enough to be a JW. So one day 35yrs old and married. I just said " I can't do this anymore "
I started smoking, cause' I was gonna get destroyed anyway and made sure I got DF'd for it.
A month later I realized this religion was not " The Truth" at all.
I was dissed and some dudes in my class we all hung out on a regular. I decided to go back to the hall...of course I cut my beard off and stop hanging out with them, they asked why I told them and one dude had parent's that are witnesses and he told me about the ARC...aaaawwww man I had a mental and emotional breakdown after watching that! The craazy part is he was never a witness. And this joker knew more about the JWs than I did....and I was born in RAISED in it! Sooo embarrassing.
You are right. non jw know more than the witnesses. when i tell my sister for instance about child sexual abuse in the org she says she never heard of it. In our middle eastern culture child abuse doesn't happen often may be that's why she doesn't believe it plus she doesn't know how to research because of language barrier and is not willing to let me show her facts.
@@juliabann2238 Yeeesss!!!! I was so embarrassed, Lol smh
@@juliabann2238 I tried to tell my dad about all I have learned, he had no idea and didn't believe a word of it!
@@juliabann2238 Honestly I think my dad knows EVERYTHING I said was true. My dad has been an elder my whole life, I think him being an elder DEFINES him as a person and is what makes him feel important and loved and respected....sad but true!
My question was if evolution isn't real then what about Australia? Also dinosaurs and the whole disfellowshipment thing. All of that had me questioning.
That’s the KEY baby
The message to both are give more for Jehovah.
Rich --- Give hours/money/time for Jehovah
Poor -- Do more for Jehovah and he'll help
I studied for close to 4 years and didn't have wifi at the time. I live next to Denny's now LoL. What got me to finally see what was really up was 2 things. I was having super long discussions w my friend's 21yr old son and he could pretty much see it was bs. The last meeting I went to I heard an older lady talkin to an elder about trusting the faithful n discreet slave. I was always like wtf up w this, who is that exactly and where is that in the scriptures. Googled that phrase, eventually found Lloyd Evans and here I am
I was disfellowshipped in 1994 for "loose conduct" (basically, getting to second base with a chick). I didn't try all that hard to come back because I was pissed at the way I was being treated. How could they betray me and treat me like dirt when I was born into the religion? I got saved in 2001, I attend a Baptist church in Newark, NJ, and I've never looked back.
Yeshua looked like a Jew.... duh.
Good step, good decision 👍
Got disfellowshipped even tho I was repented
Jay: Just wanted to pop in and say I miss seeing you on the ex-JW Reddit forum! Y/F, CallSignViperrr
Love it
The Christians in Sardis, who did not abandon their almost “dead” congregation (Rev. 3: 4), should serve as an example for every faithful JW. Never leave your congregation under any circumstances, even if you were treated unfairly in the Organization or if your confidence was shaken.
REMEMBER: Jehovah’s people have the main pillars of biblical truth. These pillars include the following teachings:
- Jehovah is the only true living God, the author of the Bible;
- Jesus Christ is the firstborn of all creation. He will rule as king over the earth for one thousand years.
- Through Christ’s ransom sacrifice, sinful humanity can approach the Creator in the present and have a hope of the resurrection in the new system of things after Armageddon;
- Paradise on earth will be restored and sinless humanity will live on it forever;
- Death is a consequence of sin;
- Hell, as a place of eternal torment for sinners, does not exist;
- There is no survival of the human soul after death;
- Satan is an invisible ruler of this world;
- Not all worship is acceptable to God, but only in spirit and truth.
For all JW who want to know what is happening in the restored Temple of Jehovah watch this video ruclips.net/video/jLoFNHNmPmw/видео.html
We paid for & peddled WT products in a stifling atmosphere of fear and hatred with the negative mindset that comes from a joyless existence .... it just wasn't for me.
First Apostate video I watched was JT, about why there was always a deficit at the Assemblies! Always wondered. Always bothered me. But that's not the reason I left....lol
Long story short once I hit 20 years old I was done. I don't even know why you bother to get reinstated. I left never came back. Don't you know if I'm disfellowshipped at all. I'm married to a supposedly "worldly" person. Most generous human bean you will ever meet. Will go hungry to feed a poor person. I've actually physically seen her do this. I'm 30 now. Ive done and seen everything and I can tell you with complete honesty its a lot of evil in the world but there is also a lot of evil in the organization. people don't realize that the organization is run by men and the men are imperfect.
Thanks for your video as always Jay. After going thru the disfellowshipping process with my 17 year old daughter, it caused me to investigate why in my opinion the brothers were not going by the Bible or even their own Watchtower regarding judging & forgiveness. My research has opened up a Pandora's box of information that continues to flow til this day. Check out my channel & hear our story. This month marks a year since my husband & I put in our letter of disassociation. Wish I would have known all this sooner.
Hi Jay, I used to watch a channel by the name of Dr. Mumbi.Her listeners were black Israel supporters, I unsubscribed since they took my stuff out of context.How do they know what he was like, that was presumptuous or what? What does it mean to you when they didn't answer?Take care and thanks.
Yeah I had to leave them black Israel’s videos alone, they start getting REALLY crazy!!!
@@JayTheComedian I know, there's some serious profanities and wrong doctrines, here here i don't blame you, congrats.
Your Loss Dawn Elizabeth, this information about Blacks being "The People of the Bible is true. Dr. Mumbi was simply educating you on what is true, but you couldn't take it. If you do your Research you will come to know that "Blacks descendant of Slaves are the People of the Most High God". We are the descendants of Jacob, Abraham. We are now living at a time where you are witnessing that. The offspring of Jacob will rule this earth as the promise was made to them not Esau.
I left the Jehovah's witnesses because I didn't like their judicial meetings. I married this guy who was just a baptized Jehovah's witnesses. But he was not fully dedicated Jehovah's witnesses. I didn't like his way of having sex with me. Having sex backwards oral sex, I didn't want to continue in the marriage. We had a judicial meeting at that time. The Elder asked me don't I know what sex is? I said but I didn't agree with his way sexually. This elder was showing me scriptures on sex as if I didn't know what sex was. I excused myself to go to the powder room. When I came back I refuse to ask anymore questions. I said I wasn't going to ask anymore questions and left. I have heard many people being in judicial meetings being humiliated. Jehovah's witnesses have a way in these judicial meetings to humiliate you. This is the main reason why I left because I didn't like their judicial meetings
I would’ve been that bitter bish like the older son in the Prodigal Son story where I would’ve been salty as hell that you got a party for coming back when I never got one for staying in😂 Speaking of which, I should hold one for celebrating the anniversary of me leaving that shitty cult🤔
I was born in the organization as well and always felt like a worldly child stuck in a JW family. Never could celebrate birthdays nothing it sucked and I have always be outspoken and asked questions which is a no no in the organization. But I started to realize that the timeline was not adding up at all, and always wondered how the hell are these people in the bible living to be 600 and 700 years old wth lol and I remember seeing an old photo of the governing body having Christmas dinner and you can google this as well, but like everything else there was new light wth lol I can't with them
I'm also born in this organization and I havent got out bcs I'm 14 but if you look up charles taze russels pyramid or gravesite it will show that 1914 was measured by a pyramid just search it up
@@kevvvvj ok I will and hang in there I've been there stay focused on your goals
@@kevvvvj I hope you didn't get baptized because when you decide to leave your family and anyone you knew in the org will shun you.
My story is kind of long and detailed. Too much for this forum. If you're interested how can I get in touch with you to tell you the story?
Reality Hit you and the Spirit of Freedom called you to have a piece of mind
Can we get a link to the vid
Do you think Prince, with the lifestyle he lived, was genuinely pimi?
One black GB in 140 years ??????
JAY.. YOU ARE ONE BAD BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER..YOUR CRACK ME MAN..YOU KNOW HOW WE KNOW JESUS WAS WHITE.. CAUSE WHEN HE WAS CRUCIFIED THE WOULDN'T HAVE GIVEN HIM A CROWN OF THORNS TO TANGLE IN HIS HAIR CAUSE WITH A AVRO ANY PLANT WOULD OF GOT TANGLED IN HIS HAIR BRO..
Unless they shoved it down, but rationality isn’t a strong bible characteristic.in my humble opinion.
Another great person that explain things( Blacks are the real Hebrews) is by the name of Stephen Darby, He is a pastor, but not your TD Jake pastor, he is also on RUclips. I understand there Hebrew Camp out there that are aggressive; however their aggressiveness doesn't change the fact. And, really and truly I understand at times the reason of their aggressiveness, given what Blacks have suffered from White Domination.
This demon spawn CULT is discussing. I start questioning the CULT when one of our many haughty self righteous judgemental "elders" give a talk about apostate literature. I was 16 years old and what he said made absolutely no sense. People were leaving the CULT after 20, 30, 40 years after reading apostate lies. I thought to myself, if we really have the "TRUTH" what could I read that would turn me away Jehovah. Boy what I read about... all the lies, all the false and failed prophecies, God's real name (Yahuah) which appears in the Divine name brochure, what HOVAH means in Hebrew(the next time a JW tells you he worships Je-HOVAH, tell them yes you do LOL) all the double talk and hypocrisy, how Russell really came up with the 1914 non sense, etc,etc.
the more poor you are the more you fall for religion, BOOM!!!!
The bible says serving God is not burdomsome, so what’s up? I question thst cause I felt burdened , and his load is suppose to be light, I knew and that’s when I started to research and I got sick, this wasn’t the truth, besides, Jesus called God his father, but this religion is all Jehovah, I don’t even think that’s his name, besides, if I called my dad by his first name, he would have slugged me, my father in heaven is my Heavenly Father, not my buddie, Jesus never said Jehovah once, and I no longer do also, he is my father not my boss, he is my father not my drinking bud die or slave owner , enough, Jesus has many warning scriptures that helped me wake up. You have to pay attention when your reading the bible and you’ll find you don’t need to ask questions, just use common sence , hidxkoad us kight yet if you follow the g b you are a window washer, yeah, a light load, how the watchtower gonna be a multi billion dollar company if it’s not on our dime, I don’t wish to serve Satan but serving the watchtower is serving Satan
you look like black Gomez Addams
