I just left yesterday morning. I wrote a message to the elders saying I'm done with lies and my conscious doesn't allow me to be in the congregation and organisation and I don't want any meeting or to explain myself. So I'm finally OUT! OF THIS CULT
People are waking up because there is a great awakening happening in general. Religion, politics, history, etc…. People are realizing that it’s all BS. This is by design of our scripted reality. Waking up is great!
Great video guy's!! I'm 68 yr old born in and left 20+ years ago. It comes with an immediate price but the quality of life and being free of the FOG is life saving.
I’m gen X and so many people I grew up with have left. I left over 20 years ago and I think every subsequent generation that grows up in this cult has greater and greater numbers that leave. Glad to see so many of the younger generation like yourselves have woken up.
ITS the governing body for me ..I cant understand in my knowledge wisdom and understanding how people believe they are the channel, voice of Godv..Thst alone has never sat well with me ..Its a dominos effect if the governing body changed their thoughts views imagine all the minnions following?? I cant believe in that ever ..All the best you guys
It was the GB for me too..the way they handled the pandemic showed me they were aligned with the world and now they are so much in everything it's sickening..I didn't go there to worship humans I went there to learn the truth about God
Did y’all ever realize they never talk about the civil rights movement nothing about our black history I always wonder why that was never put in any publications
Yup all anyone has to do is look at the lack of diversity of the GB. All white guys except for Herd. That tells you everything you need to know about this organization.
They had a video a few years ago, talking about how they had separate baptism pools for black members and white members. Here in the south, they had segregated congregations. So-called Christ followers, following the racist practices of the world. They should’ve been one of the first churches integrating. The old literature from Russell and Rutherford talks about how the colored servant is the best servant, and the colored mans skin will eventually turn white.
They have nothing to do with the government; no voting, no holidays, no higher education, no birthdays, can’t attend family members funerals if at a different denomination, they also have different bible scriptures. The elders control the church. No divorce unless you can prove that the other person committed adultery. So many rules and restrictions.
A JW that I respect, said to me that you have to have faith. My reply was, the word "faith? is interesting. It is designed to, stop you from asking questions. Personally if I am going to follow anything, I want to be able to ask questions. If you can't, or are forbidden to ask questions, there is something wrong, there is something hidden, that's not good. Investigate and Think.
I found my way to them by asking a million questions and they always were so happy to answer them then soon as I got baptized all of a sudden any question I ask was looked at like I was being wicked. It was so strange because I've always been a very curious person and I knew Jehovah knew that about me so I was able to draw the line where Jehovah stopped and the cultish crap started
John 14:6. (GNB) Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me. Governing body doesn't appear anywhere in the scriptures.
I walked away . I actually started shunning them first because I'm petty. Blocked all numbers . Blocked all social media and fade to black. I started seeing some of them in Duval, and it's like they hate to see you happy, healthy, and living life to it's full and not waiting on a genocide for my happiness
@@leetrippii1830 you know, I actually thought about shunning my JW family members, especially knowing that they consider me demon possessed right? Lol. good for you.🙏🏽❤️ you are so brave
I took me a while to delete my numbers, but it’s true how they respond to you doing well. When I told someone that I’m happy and at peace they told me I was talking crazy and they couldn’t talk to me because I wasn’t making any sense. 😂 I remember she repeatedly kept asking what religion I was now. Even though I consider myself spiritual and am into energy work I didn’t give her the satisfaction of an answer. Like the excellent math analogy proved, I knew she wouldn’t be able to handle it. I’m just so glad there is a community like this out here.
I love you guys. I’m 51 2nd generation on both sides decided to leave after my husband died 2 years ago because I wanted to live my authentic life as a queer woman. I need to do a channel for exjws who are a part of the LGBTQ community and let them know it’s ok and you will not only survive but thrive.
I commend you and I’m happy that you’re able to live your truth I’m praying that my daughter leaves this CULT it has come in between her & my son her brother who is gay & married relationship..before she was in this cult he was her best friend this cult destroys families.
@@AwakenTruthsWhich church are preaching the gospel of the kingdom around the world to all nations as Jesus Christ said? Matthew 10:16, 24:14, 28:19-20, Mark 13:10, if not only only only the Jehovah's witnesses.
Y'all killing it! Really perfecting a formula of addressing some really serious topics.. with a light hearted approach with no anger or bitterness.. which is not easy when you realize how much time this cult sucked outta your existence..
I have waited for this to happen for over 4 decades. I have warned JWs about this cult for decades. I remember the day that Teresa Graves (Get Christy Love--look it up) showed up at the radio station I worked at back in the 80s. I confronted her with the truth and she turned me over to her Circuit Overseer who was with her. (She died not much later in a tragic fire). I went toe to toe with him and he asked me: "When were you disfellowshipped". I was never in the JW cult but had studied with them since I was a little boy. For some reason, many of my best friends ended up being PIMOs. I will continue to stand against their deception as I am a committed follower of the real Jesus! (BTW, I am not a crazy Christian troll!).
You don't sound like a troll. I am always searching for new information to prove this religion is a cult. Please consider making a youtube page for us former jw's to follow. It is a long arduous journey trying to unclutter and un-cult our brains..after being in such a high control group for so many years. TIA
I left my abusive husband and the cult around Covid as well. The locked down allowed me to stop and see what was really going on. I'm in my 50s and was in about 26 years. Glad to be out and that you both left in your youth!!❤
I've been watching you two for probably about a year now. I've watched other videos but not the same. I'm not nor have I ever been JW but have been exposed. I have family members who are life long jw. Your videos have taught me how to decipher red flags and handle conversations with these family members. I'm thankful for you, and I keep watching ...and in hopes I get a glimpse of the crazy cute bird!!!! 😅
What I love about having been a Jehovah’s Witness it showed me my beliefs can be as creative as I want. But also kinda makes me question my decision making skills. Because if I could once believe some absurd ideas, what else in my life have I allowed myself to believe that’s just absolutely insane, but I’m not yet realizing it. If I once believed that a group of men (that’s supposed to represent the whole world but the team is lacking a lot of melanin and ethnic features) were the only ones talking to God, it wasn’t hard for me to be open to have beliefs that are much more reasonable 😂. After leaving I’m like uhh maybe we all have access to God no matter what. If I once could believe and try to convince other people that the dead will pop right back up out the ground and we all live until some evil being is released from a spirit prison 1,000 years later and retested (what is God doing putting a force field around a spirit?) … it wasn’t hard to just believe, hmm if God has my soul to just pop right back in my body (btw, is he just putting our soul in a jar till “resurrection time?)…..it wasn’t hard for me to just think “clearly there’s a part of us that exists after death, if God is able to ‘bring us back.’ What if our spirit does live forever just in a different realm.” Looking back….i probably should’ve gotten a psych evaluation. I believed European angels (I have yet to see a black angel in JW literature) will appear from the sky on angel horses to stop a great tribulation - an apocalyptic occurrence where the whole earth will be obliterated by Jehovah. Some will be killed because their “crime” was not telling on their friend for having sex after giving them two weeks so they were guilty by association. & then once paradise appears, some new magical bible will appear (the new scrolls)… mind you we’re supposedly not going to have any memory of what is was like to live in a world full of sin….but we have to live this life now so we can see what life is like when God doesn’t rule the world… but if we won’t remember anything….. what’s the point of this again???? Anyway, tangent over. In summary, the “God” I believed was running this show was kinda off his rockers.
Me and my wife began to deconstruct in 2020, for the same reasons. COVID was our catalyst too. Then we officially left in 2021. Didn't discover ya'lls channel to well after our deconstruction, but one of my childhood PIMI friends randomly hit me up about a year ago after he saw one of ya'lls videos (since he knew I was out). He's now leaving the borg too. Our generation (millennials and zillennials) are leaving in droves, with gen z and Alpha not too far behind. The impact yall are having is REAL fam. Please keep it going! Love the realism yall speak with and the presentation. No unnecessary click bait or fluff.
Congrats on you and your wife both being able to escape together! We always hear about the waking up process dividing marriages. And we appreciate that a lot! We’re thankful for all your support
CAMMM!! So cool to see you at that gathering!! Shout out from your new "Lib" friends in Brooklyn! 🗽💕 Thanks for letting me hold the Smurf loll Love & Hugs "Elle" 😂
As always you guys are awesome. Love, love, love your content. Punta Cana DR is THE place. The vibes are so chill there. It was the first place me and my daughter travelled to that signified me leaving my past behind me. It was a very healing experience just being there. I did not want to go back home. I hope you have a fantabulous time!💞
Love you guys Looks like y’all are having a blast. Shame on y’all for not bringing y’all’s meeting clothes. Could have went to the local meeting 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was a sorry s.o.b. from the start . I knew they only had the power over me that I gave them . That alone was enough to drive them crazy. I remember the day I was told I couldn’t date another witness that I wasn’t approved to do so . I laughed in their faces. Saying” who do think you are “? At that another elder popped off and said“ not that it matters you don’t seem to be interested in any of the sisters anyway”. I said “what sisters? All that were worth anything are married and the only ones left are the crippled and crazy”. I should have took the hint and walked right then .
It's very loving of you to recognize the emotional turmoil of someone waking up. We left 1/1/22. The awakening process is gradual and at some pount it's traumatic. Absolutely, every journey is different.
I knew this was a cult when Bro. Morris spoke at our circuit assembly some years back. After his talk, he had to be escorted through the back stage. If he would have walked through the main auditorium, he would have left out of there naked.
I was disfellowship 21 years ago on the 4th of July and it truly was Independence Day for me! Now looking back this organization has drastically changed! More and more witnesses are leaving more than ever! Something is not adding up! You young couple are like old souls and your content is fascinating! Well done!
I started my fade during the pandemic. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. God kept my body strong too. He is so good! I feel so free, like a weight lifted up off of my shoulders. What a relief!
That was really good, it’s amazing how many religious people think that saying you are spiritual is wrong. Religion is man made! Your Spirituality is a personal path you chose that is meaningful for the betterment of yourself, mankind,nature and the universe ! 🤯 Good to see Bryce in this. It’s a joy to help others understand how someone in Bryce’s position was able to leave his situation, (Julian was another one) and how I was contacted to assist, inviting him to visit us. There were also other families that were at the meet up recently coming out in the ATL area. My heart is to be there for others, so they know they are not alone 🥰♥️🥰
You’re so right! Religion is just a man made idea and has no real foundation😅. You’re the greatest for making these opportunities happen for so many ex JW’s in the area. You’re really serving where the need is greater 😎
Wow!..GM from the SS of Chicago...you both are so positive, and objective...I've been watching your videos for over a year now..I was born n raised JW-im #6 of 7 children, my Mom became JW in 1969,I was 3 years old...My siblings have limited contact with me,oldest brother is a C/O,the rest-2 are elders...smh..and my sisters are pioneers...and my wife left our marriage when I woke up....😢😢..so keep up the good work!...what really has kept me going are my children ,and my lifelong "worldly " friends. ..😊
All I know is that vacation or not you two better be out in service and going to all your meetings in DR!! 🤦🏾♂️😂 ….great video as always and it’s music to my ears whenever I hear of people leaving the organization 🙌🏾🙏🏾
It's really nice to see how you both can enjoy freedom. A terrible thought if you had wasted time and freedom in the cult for decades. Luckily, my JW parents didn't force me to become a JW at the time, even if they would have liked it. I have always been able to enjoy freedom, but it is not a given for everyone. Thank you for making me realize how important freedom is😊
I'm PIMO...fading away AGAIN. I'm fully awake and have grown tired of it all. I can't leave my situation right now but if I could do so tomorrow, I would.
Hello, I really enjoy watching your channel, as I have several family members in JW. It enlightens me so much. I am sorry your experience was what it was. But, I would like to say that church as a whole isn’t “BS”. It is a totally different Christian experience. The relationships and doctrine are just different-it is very real. From what I know church is so different than the JW way. I get how you may feel that way because of your JW experience. Glad you all are shedding light on your truth. All the best!
I think this is the age of 'awakening'. Religious institutes (and Watchtower is one of them) are losing their autority. People are looking for their own personal spirituality. And because of the focus on personality, it's not about the 'group' but about personal human rights. That's why there's a worldwide involvement in groups that hinder those rights.
Hi Awaken Truths. I love yall and always enjoy every video you post❣️. Your vacation looks fabulously fun❣️❣️. Rolling the cigars is fun too❣️❣️✌️Peace, 👀 see yall 🚘😍🫶guy&🌹💅 😘doll on the next one, ✌️ peace, Miss Janine👡 🛍 🌴🧸
I’m spiritual and not religious, I can use a passage in the Bible to prove a point, not on the basis of it being from GOD, because the connection to light is in all of us, life is for experiences and not to worship anyone or anything
The former actor/now evangelist, Kirk Cameron, once stated how religious techniques are used. Cameron stated… “To be able to reason with people, learn to circumnavigate or, go around the person’s intellect.” WOW!!! That’s the bases for religion as a whole. A person HAS to GIVE UP intelligence, to make room for “faith.” Not me!!
Love that you rockin' the Ankh bro! An ancient symbol from our ancestors that represent LIFE and much much more. We were taught to be afraid of such symbols.
Vusimngomezulu2500 is just a troll people. Keeps putting same comment. Ignores the answers. He comments the same stuff on many exjw channels. Please warn people. Great video
@@AwakenTruths facts, independent artists are so talented, those last people were really trying to gaslight you into thinking they slayed.. when no them 4 squares was not what you asked 🫣 but the independent artist ate and left no breadcrumbs honey!
You hit it on the head for real!!..We owe NO EXPLANATION TO HUMANS!..LET ALONE THE ELDERS...everything we learned is all FAKE!..From baptism to resurrection to a paradise...so why we need to explain that was Fake!!??
Just believe in Jehovah yall that’s all it is it’s about having a connection with him “make the truth you’re own” come on brothers & sisters, it’s even said scripturally Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight". It’s never about religion, it’s a way to have foundation cause after all “if you don’t stand for nothing you’ll fall for anything” so just have faith in Jehovah y’all, one love.
Lol i like that illustration. Diego: "Uncle, have you ever been to Las Vegas?" Uncle: "No I've never been there or have ever had interest in going." Diego: "Then how do you know there's nothing but gambling or solicitations on the street corners if you've never been there before? I've been there and have photos of the golf courses and other places (showing photos)." Uncle: "(using Elder training) I just don't understand why you would want to go to a place that has nothing but gambling and solicitations." (Notice the deflection of question, and attempt to make you believe what he says is truth) Another reason it's pointless to even talk to the Elders or like minded cult members.
Jehovah witness reformist movement continues abolish disfellowshipped and shunning practices allow birthdays and holidays and voting in the jehovah witness organizations
The Bible clearly states that before humans appeared on the earth only Jehovah's family of witnesses existed in the universe. The first witness to leave the family was angel who became "Satan" the first apostate. Today either one is serving Jehovah or the adversary Satan. There is no sitting on the fence.
I really appreciate yall video and the fact that yall came out of being in that organization and actually giving glory to our creator is all we need and to do that is to learn to love and since He loved us first by giving His life for us we now can die to ourselves and ask for Him to live in us bearing the fruits of the spirit so now we too can love. Again I appreciate yall videos but what bothers me the most is this organization “along with many others” misinterpret scripture leading people astray. So if I guys ever see this my question to you is have you ever sought out the scriptures for yourselves?
What country are you visiting? You guys reminded me of Jeron Benton when he said on a previous video he smoked his first cigar and he tried some Cheech and Chong marijuana chews with Exjw Diaries.
I adore Punta Cana, enjoy your mofongo. How about you researching the now unspoken, left behind oral and anal sex prohibition. When I left in 1980 it was still forbidden to have sex considered to be homosexual acts. Couples had to report those acts to the elders, telling on the spouse for performing or wanting to perform those acts. I was shocked when I heard that instead of receiving a new light, giving permission, it has never been spoken of again. This lasted until the early 80s, but I guess there were not enough elders to handle the complaints, lol
I just left yesterday morning. I wrote a message to the elders saying I'm done with lies and my conscious doesn't allow me to be in the congregation and organisation and I don't want any meeting or to explain myself. So I'm finally OUT! OF THIS CULT
If they saw you walking down the street do you think they would speak to you?
Congratulations from Lisbon, Portugal! You are free!
Enjoy your freedom at last your out of prison!
WhooHoo!! Welcome to the real life… Freedom from the fear, obligation & guilt(FOG). You now make plans for your week days AND weekends….
Welcome to reality. You will have so much time on your hands now. Lol. Enjoy the journey of discovery.
People are waking up because there is a great awakening happening in general. Religion, politics, history, etc…. People are realizing that it’s all BS. This is by design of our scripted reality.

Completely agree with this!
Great video guy's!! I'm 68 yr old born in and left 20+ years ago. It comes with an immediate price but the quality of life and being free of the FOG is life saving.
Yes once the FOG ( fear, obligation & guilt) lifts you feel weight of the cult is slowly in the rearview mirror..
Well said! Couldn’t agree more
I’m gen X and so many people I grew up with have left. I left over 20 years ago and I think every subsequent generation that grows up in this cult has greater and greater numbers that leave. Glad to see so many of the younger generation like yourselves have woken up.
I just hope my parents leave
Yep! Gen Xers challenge and question things!!

It's really like a Pyramid Scheme.
It was the GB for me too..the way they handled the pandemic showed me they were aligned with the world and now they are so much in everything it's sickening..I didn't go there to worship humans I went there to learn the truth about God
Did y’all ever realize they never talk about the civil rights movement nothing about our black history I always wonder why that was never put in any publications
That’s literally the root of us waking up. Learning black history and realizing the organization was pro white supremacy
Yup all anyone has to do is look at the lack of diversity of the GB. All white guys except for Herd. That tells you everything you need to know about this organization.
@@bigboithe8thIt’s just like most big corporations. They may have one or two tokens at the top but other than that it’s a no go!

YES YES YES!! The word faith is very interesting!!! You are absolutely right. It’s a crutch and way to guilt trip you into not thinking
The watchtower definition of 'faith' is how well you suppress your cognitive dissonance. Or, how good an actor you are.
Exactly 👏👏👏
Lol if your faith can't be questioned that you don't have faith. The questioning and investigation is your works
I found my way to them by asking a million questions and they always were so happy to answer them then soon as I got baptized all of a sudden any question I ask was looked at like I was being wicked.

It was the first place me and my daughter travelled to that signified me leaving my past behind me. It was a very healing experience just being there. I did not want to go back home.
I hope you have a fantabulous time!💞
Love you guys Looks like y’all are having a blast. Shame on y’all for not bringing y’all’s meeting clothes. Could have went to the local meeting 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was a sorry s.o.b. from the start . I knew they only had the power over me that I gave them . That alone was enough to drive them crazy. I remember the day I was told I couldn’t date another witness that I wasn’t approved to do so . I laughed in their faces. Saying” who do think you are “? At that another elder popped off and said“ not that it matters you don’t seem to be interested in any of the sisters anyway”. I said “what sisters? All that were worth anything are married and the only ones left are the crippled and crazy”. I should have took the hint and walked right then .
Exactly im fith gen PIMO! Im grown i dont have to tell the elders anything chileeee! Lol 😂😂
This video was so chill, loved the mini vlog at the end too, happy Bday, glad yall enjoyed yourselves!😎🌴☀️🌊⛱️
It's very loving of you to recognize the emotional turmoil of someone waking up. We left 1/1/22. The awakening process is gradual and at some pount it's traumatic. Absolutely, every journey is different.
Thanks for always posting content! 🙌🏼
Our pleasure 😊
I knew this was a cult when Bro. Morris spoke at our circuit assembly some years back. After his talk, he had to be escorted through the back stage. If he would have walked through the main auditorium, he would have left out of there naked.
That had to be crazy to see! He carried himself like a business CEO
Why do you say that? Please elaborate
😂😂😂😂

One of my favorite couple, love and respect ❤ big up yuh slef in Jesus Christ name 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊 from 🇹🇹
Thank you 💚
I was disfellowship 21 years ago on the 4th of July and it truly was Independence Day for me! Now looking back this organization has drastically changed! More and more witnesses are leaving more than ever! Something is not adding up! You young couple are like old souls and your content is fascinating! Well done!
I’m not a witness but I have a good friend who is. I enjoy watching all of your videos bc I find cults very interesting. Keep up the awesome work!
I started my fade during the pandemic. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. God kept my body strong too. He is so good! I feel so free, like a weight lifted up off of my shoulders. What a relief!
That was really good, it’s amazing how many religious people think that saying you are spiritual is wrong. Religion is man made! Your Spirituality is a personal path you chose that is meaningful for the betterment of yourself, mankind,nature and the universe ! 🤯
Good to see Bryce in this.
It’s a joy to help others understand how someone in Bryce’s position was able to leave his situation, (Julian was another one) and how I was contacted to assist, inviting him to visit us. There were also other families that were at the meet up recently coming out in the ATL area.
My heart is to be there for others, so they know they are not alone 🥰♥️🥰
You’re so right! Religion is just a man made idea and has no real foundation😅. You’re the greatest for making these opportunities happen for so many ex JW’s in the area. You’re really serving where the need is greater 😎
@@AwakenTruths oh good! finally, serving where the need is great! 😂😉
🥰♥️🥰
Wow!..GM from the SS of Chicago...you both are so positive, and objective...I've been watching your videos for over a year now..I was born n raised JW-im #6 of 7 children, my Mom became JW in 1969,I was 3 years old...My siblings have limited contact with me,oldest brother is a C/O,the rest-2 are elders...smh..and my sisters are pioneers...and my wife left our marriage when I woke up....😢😢..so keep up the good work!...what really has kept me going are my children ,and my lifelong "worldly " friends. ..😊
Wow...What congregation did you attend? We went to Roseland on 113th and Michigan in the 70's, 80's and 90's
All I know is that vacation or not you two better be out in service and going to all your meetings in DR!! 🤦🏾♂️😂 ….great video as always and it’s music to my ears whenever I hear of people leaving the organization 🙌🏾🙏🏾
🤣🤣 we made sure to wake up bright and early and help preach to all the worldly folk. Even though we didn’t sleep until 4:30am. We are ZEALOUS!
😂😂😂😂 yep, better find a Hall near you and take pictures to prove you were there to show them the new “friends” you met while you were there!!! 🤣🤣🤣
It's really nice to see how you both can enjoy freedom. A terrible thought if you had wasted time and freedom in the cult for decades. Luckily, my JW parents didn't force me to become a JW at the time, even if they would have liked it. I have always been able to enjoy freedom, but it is not a given for everyone. Thank you for making me realize how important freedom is😊
I'm PIMO...fading away AGAIN. I'm fully awake and have grown tired of it all. I can't leave my situation right now but if I could do so tomorrow, I would.
Much peace and success on your journey! Take your time and it’ll work at the perfect time
Ooh I went on a cruise and enjoyed a real Cuban cigar!!!!
Freedom!!! Love this video thank you.
Happy Birthday to you!🎉
Your vacation looks amazing!
Thank you! We had so much fun
...Great message...as always...#StayStrong
👁👁YES FREEDOM ❤❤❤HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU.❤️❤️❤️
Seek and you will find = Ask questions and get those answers! Faith is not blind obedience.
Absolutely!
Thank you for sharing your story.
Hello, I really enjoy watching your channel, as I have several family members in JW. It enlightens me so much. I am sorry your experience was what it was. But, I would like to say that church as a whole isn’t “BS”. It is a totally different Christian experience. The relationships and doctrine are just different-it is very real. From what I know church is so different than the JW way. I get how you may feel that way because of your JW experience. Glad you all are shedding light on your truth. All the best!
Appreciate it and yeah everyone has different experiences that leads them on different paths. Enjoy yours 💗
Hi guys. Glad to see this video. It surely is a process. One day at a time.
That’s it!
“Prayer and manifestation are the same. One and the same. “ 💯
Absolutely
💯💯💯
I met Bryce and Cam a few weeks ago at a mutual friend's house. It will be nice to see everyone next month in person in DC!
Can’t wait to meet you!
👁👁I SEE YOU'LL LIVING. SO WONDERFUL❤❤❤
I think this is the age of 'awakening'. Religious institutes (and Watchtower is one of them) are losing their autority. People are looking for their own personal spirituality.
And because of the focus on personality, it's not about the 'group' but about personal human rights. That's why there's a worldwide involvement in groups that hinder those rights.
Only the strong survive.
Hi Awaken Truths. I love yall and always enjoy every video you post❣️. Your vacation looks fabulously fun❣️❣️. Rolling the cigars is fun too❣️❣️✌️Peace, 👀 see yall 🚘😍🫶guy&🌹💅 😘doll on the next one, ✌️ peace, Miss Janine👡 🛍 🌴🧸
Always good to hear from you Miss Janine!!
I’m spiritual and not religious, I can use a passage in the Bible to prove a point, not on the basis of it being from GOD, because the connection to light is in all of us, life is for experiences and not to worship anyone or anything
This is the truth 100%. Were tuned into spirituality without needing religion
Yo my wife and I were in Punta Cana in April for our 15th wedding anniversary!
That’s wild!! Hope you guys enjoyed it 💗
AWESOMENESS!!!
I left in 2020 also, so glad im out and moved on with my life
Hey I am fairly new to this channel so forgive if there is already a video about this topic: "Narcissism in the JW community".
This is a great topic here is one that would be along those lines ruclips.net/video/vnwkrk23MX4/видео.htmlsi=no0gs4VayHZapBo0 check it out!
keep dropping that knowledge !!! blessings!!!
The wall is coming down brick by brick.
Run JWs Run
Happy birthday for whenever it was. 🎉
Thank you!!! 8/7 🙈
Beautiful couple I'm glad that y'all is enjoying y'all's vacation
Thank you!!
The former actor/now evangelist, Kirk Cameron, once stated how religious techniques are used. Cameron stated… “To be able to reason with people, learn to circumnavigate or, go around the person’s intellect.” WOW!!! That’s the bases for religion as a whole. A person HAS to GIVE UP intelligence, to make room for “faith.” Not me!!
Love that you rockin' the Ankh bro! An ancient symbol from our ancestors that represent LIFE and much much more. We were taught to be afraid of such symbols.
Most definitely bra! It’s one of those if you know you know things for sure! Tapped into our history
Vusimngomezulu2500 is just a troll people. Keeps putting same comment. Ignores the answers. He comments the same stuff on many exjw channels. Please warn people. Great video
ALL the world is a stage!
Your nails are so nice! I can tell you didn’t go to the other nail place you shared about last time, coz this new place slayedd❤
Girl!!! 🤣🤣🤣 that was awful. I usually go to independent nail artists. And you see why. Salons usually will not be able to do the designs i want lol
@@AwakenTruths facts, independent artists are so talented, those last people were really trying to gaslight you into thinking they slayed.. when no them 4 squares was not what you asked 🫣 but the independent artist ate and left no breadcrumbs honey!
You hit it on the head for real!!..We owe NO EXPLANATION TO HUMANS!..LET ALONE THE ELDERS...everything we learned is all FAKE!..From baptism to resurrection to a paradise...so why we need to explain that was Fake!!??
The scriptures warn " it is not for the good that you gather together but , ,for the BAD .😢 " Fire refines !
Did anyone deal with extreme stalking after leaving the JW community? I’m currently going through this.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Critical thinker, not conspiracy theorist.
Just believe in Jehovah yall that’s all it is it’s about having a connection with him “make the truth you’re own” come on brothers & sisters, it’s even said scripturally Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight". It’s never about religion, it’s a way to have foundation cause after all “if you don’t stand for nothing you’ll fall for anything” so just have faith in Jehovah y’all, one love.
Nonsense 🙄
There might be many “gods’ but only one Creator.
That’s the point
Recruit you to freedom! Yesss love that!
Lol i like that illustration.
Diego: "Uncle, have you ever been to Las Vegas?"
Uncle: "No I've never been there or have ever had interest in going."
Diego: "Then how do you know there's nothing but gambling or solicitations on the street corners if you've never been there before? I've been there and have photos of the golf courses and other places (showing photos)."
Uncle: "(using Elder training) I just don't understand why you would want to go to a place that has nothing but gambling and solicitations."
(Notice the deflection of question, and attempt to make you believe what he says is truth) Another reason it's pointless to even talk to the Elders or like minded cult members.
This is spot on! They always try to dodge the logical answers and paint imaginary scenarios lol
Go subduing in the midst of your enemies, or go ruling in the midst of your enemies, who are your enemies, any brainwashed zombie of Watchtower
Can you guys share which questions you guys asked that didn’t get answers for? I’m curious.
Love you guys Once they start that Lessons from the bible book Attendance is going to drop That’s my prediction
me i walk by faith. sight. word of mouth. and jim beam whiskey if im not sure. im never 1 side.
🤣🤣 top tier comment
Jehovah witness reformist movement continues abolish disfellowshipped and shunning practices allow birthdays and holidays and voting in the jehovah witness organizations
They dont read it because they cant comprehend practical literature
Nice pair
The Bible clearly states that before humans appeared on the earth only Jehovah's family of witnesses existed in the universe. The first witness to leave the family was angel who became "Satan" the first apostate. Today either one is serving Jehovah or the adversary Satan. There is no sitting on the fence.
1st
Appreciate the support!
Third eye
👁️ if you know you know
I need to know where my boy got that bag from, I need it asap
Love y’all. Keep doing what you do!!
We appreciate you! Been here since day 1 with us
@@AwakenTruthsWhat's the biggest issue that you had with the organization?
👋😄❤️👍
I really appreciate yall video and the fact that yall came out of being in that organization and actually giving glory to our creator is all we need and to do that is to learn to love and since He loved us first by giving His life for us we now can die to ourselves and ask for Him to live in us bearing the fruits of the spirit so now we too can love. Again I appreciate yall videos but what bothers me the most is this organization “along with many others” misinterpret scripture leading people astray. So if I guys ever see this my question to you is have you ever sought out the scriptures for yourselves?
Yes 🩷
Is ballet demonic? My sister in law who’s a witness deposed me taking a ballet partnering class and I’m not in their faith
Oh I love cigars...cool
We enjoyed them!
We enjoyed them!
Hate the cult not the cultists.
Are you able to provide data on how many people have left within the last 4 years ?
Watchtower has lost approximately three million members in the past five years.
They can barely claim five million worldwide.
I'm hoping my XRP and Ethereum will get me that 2 million.
Facts!!
What country are you visiting? You guys reminded me of Jeron Benton when he said on a previous video he smoked his first cigar and he tried some Cheech and Chong marijuana chews with Exjw Diaries.
I adore Punta Cana, enjoy your mofongo. How about you researching the now unspoken, left behind oral and anal sex prohibition. When I left in 1980 it was still forbidden to have sex considered to be homosexual acts. Couples had to report those acts to the elders, telling on the spouse for performing or wanting to perform those acts. I was shocked when I heard that instead of receiving a new light, giving permission, it has never been spoken of again. This lasted until the early 80s, but I guess there were not enough elders to handle the complaints, lol
No, these taboos were still being mentioned in Pioneer School in the 2000's....
It's none of their business what happens in the marital bed..they trippin'
