    I'm sure you take this as a compliment, and find comfort, but you remind me so much of the wicked demons and their leader Satan, Satan and his demons are constantly attacking Jehovah's organization utilizing evil people like yourself, the constant attack is on a regular basis, your life revolves around attack, attack, and attack, and in hopes of total destruction of this organization. You forget that one day, we will no longer exist due to Disease, unforeseen accidents, and or old age. And you will be history in Gods eyes and everyone else, what we sow right now, is what we reap later, eternal death. but yet you never attack Catholics, Baptists, Buddha's, Pentecostals, etc, how ironic that is, only JW's amazing, I wonder why JW's are always the target?? What a waste, of a shortened life, you live. Your constant mocking, hatred, and Sarcasm will never give you happiness. You will surely rot away in due time.

      Wow this is such a heavy comment. I want it to actually get a lot of attention so people can see just how extreme the religion is. Crazy that your faith is so fragile that it can’t take a tad of criticism. Anyways, hope you find peace with yourself wishing people death. Such an awesome Christian you are. ❤️

      @@raesvisionsAnd this is more extreme, I have been a Hebrew and Greek scholar for over 25 years and based on my research, on doctrine and other facts JW's is the only religion abiding by the rules and regulations based in the bible worldwide, and I happen to be a defender of what is truth. And what apostates don't understand is that" JEHOVAH'S ORGANIZATION AIN'T GOING NO WHERE'S" he created the whole universe to include Billions upon Billions of stars, and Galaxies, the weight alone of planet Earth is… 13,170,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1.3 x 1025) pounds! That's thirteen septillion! to be eventually inhabited forever in a paradise like setting,,, mortals do not have the capability of eradicating, annihilating, or extinguishing Jehovah's organization's existence, The organization is going to continue with us or without us, I know apostates are wishful thinkers saying that the organization is going down, that people are leaving. Satan and his demons already know that Jehovah's Organization is here to stay, but just as he fooled Eve, you people fell for the trap. You make demons and Satan very pleased. They sit back in the spiritual realm and just grin and laugh with joy, at your temporary accomplishments. And by the way Demons are also Mockers.

    14 year Ex-JW here. Thank you for your video and your story!
    Every religion/cult's defense-mechanism includes the assignment of negative emotions or dishonest motivations to anyone who dares to leave. The Witnesses are especially guilty of this. It's important to identify this form of gaslighting and call it out for what it is.
    Besides, even if it is true, in some cases, that someone experiences negative emotions when they leave, that doesn't invalidate their reasons for leaving. Sometimes anger at the organization or their portrayal of God is the first step to an honest and objective examination of the religion and your first step on the way out.

      @@raesvisions Satan, your father and “the father of the lie,” uses those under his control to spread lies about Jehovah and about our brothers and sisters. (John 8:44) You, apostates have always historically published lies and distort facts about Jehovah’s organization on websites and through television and other media. Those lies are among Satan’s “burning arrows.” And you think I'm full of hatred when in fact Paul before his conversion regarded disciples of Jesus Christ as apostates deserving of death. He felt that the Mosaic law approved of his course, for that law stated regarding an apostate: “You must not accede to his wish or listen to him, nor should your eye feel sorry for him, nor must you feel compassion, nor cover him protectively; but you should kill him without fail.” (Deut. 13:8, 9) So your apostate brothers and sisters were already in existence in the days of Moses, and in the Greek scriptures you were made famous for the time of Paul and our time in the 20th century. You are fulfilling prophecy as to exist, and in the spiritual realm, the evil spirits are overjoyed with your constant activity. Jehovah is neither going to fill the earth nor govern with him, in Heaven with you constant mockers, haters, and opposers of his sacred Organization. Otherwise it would be filled with pure evil and unwanted trash, And even your father Satan, knows that is not going to happen.

    I'm an inactive member rn, so I pretty much "faded" out of the religion. I started having doubts mainly because of the animal kingdom, specifically carnivores since I always thought "if animals were supposed to not eat each other, why is a Lion or a snake solely designed to kill and devour prey?" from then on my belief in God in general dwindled to the point of being an atheist now. One thing that I'll tell people that leave a religion in which you gotta be really involved such as JWs, find a purpose or an area of study that you think it's important, evolution was that for me as now I can stop thinking about God and just explore what we do know. Which to a skeptic like me, it's exciting as hell.

    JW's want to ask why we leave their "spiritual paradise." Comments like that show how "paradisaic" it really is. Any person/organization that will go through the effort to go online, look for a videos of people talking about their personal experience and then tell them they are satanic , is obviously neither Christian nor possessing rock-solid faith. Why are they so threatened??

    In the absence of religion I turned to philosophy to fill the hole left in my life by religion. Particularly Stoicism. It’s got a good system of moral philosophy and mental health.
    Science, or Natural Philosophy as it was once called, is the best method for explaining how the natural universe actually works and for learning truths about nature and the universe that we don’t already know. Religions all over the world have been mad at science because it explains the reality in which we exist better than any of them ever have, but some have tried to adopt our co-opt science as if to say that it validates their beliefs. Some religions just try to go along and get along with Scientific facts about nature and the wider cosmos.
    Humanism has a strong community and a better moral compass than organized religions want you to believe. You should check out their Ten Commitments. Not commandments, commitments.
    Taoist, Buddhist, and Pantheist philosophies are also helpful.
    I’m saying this because some people, when we leave religion, have a “What now?” moment. Where we’ve decided on what we don’t believe, and now we need to decide what we do believe and why. Turning to philosophy helps you to wrap your head around that.

    Yes, quite gnarly. I had a hard exit. I still lived in the illusion given by the Watchtower that the world embraces diversity, while it was not so. Now we live in a more internet era than back when I left, 1997, so perhaps there is less of an illusion. I don't know. Unlike all other ex-JWs I say that the JWs are right about the world being a bad place. I have never even thought about going back, though.

    Hi, congratulations on leaving the JW cult, I just wanted to encourage you that it is widely seen as a cult to Christians like myself. It is very damaging to be raised in a cult, and I want to encourage you not to impose your experience of JW with Christianity in general, regardless of where you are at spiritually, I encourage you to read the Bible prayerfully or at least seriously in a translation that does not twist the Greek and Hebrew to accord to their theology, the KJV I believe is the best, although very old, it is closer to the original than the others I have checked. God bless you, _Ryan

Because leaving the organization you're going to find out that serving Jesus is much easier than you ever imagined why? Because we are under the New Testament the perfect law of Liberty otherwise known as freedom! Jesus did not come to condemn people he came to love people and shunning is not love or teaching just my two cents let me know if you want any more two senses I know a lot about the Bible and I study a lot and I have made a deep dive into the Jehovah's Witness religion to understand it and I'm in filtering a Kingdom Hall right now they think I'm falling for it but I'm not LOL so far I have over 40 pages of notes that I have taken on what I've actually seen, I've even seen masonic rings on several men and there is a separate book for elders see if you can get a hold of that separate book for elders steal it if you have to it's not like it's a Godly Church anyway what am I saying it's not a church at all can't people see that? Jesus said in the New Testament I will build my church Upon This Rock he didn't say I was building a kingdom or a hall I mean that's kind of like grape nut cereal it's neither grape or nuts LOL I mean come on people there are little nuances if you pay close attention that will tell you this is not a church of Jesus Christ Our Lord that died on the cross for our sins! Not to mention they only give you half truths that's why you all think Jesus died on a stake because they only told you half the truth do your research you'll find that Jesus actually carried the Cross Beam! Because the bigger part that stuck in the ground is too big to carry anywhere, go back and read scripture and think about it for a minute you'll understand that you are smart enough to figure out scripture and the Jehovah's Witnesses treat you like you're stupid and you're definitely not I've gotten fired up studying this organization and it makes me angry and I've never even been raised in it and then I find out one of my best friends was molested and she was a Jehovah's Witness now if I don't know if the two are connected but after what I've seen happening in Pennsylvania and the picture the aerial picture in Norway oh my stars I would be livid if I had been brought up in this organization it's not a church it's a sham heresy and complete and total satanic evil

    The real True Church is the Catholic Church. I know, they all say that. I had that issue 20 years ago. There has to be THE one that is True and that is the Catholic Church. It's easy to find this out for sure. Google, "which Church did Jesus start". We still have all the documents. Many Christians who followed the Apostles wrote teaching and defending the faith. The taught Catholic doctrines and defended the Catholic Church. If you want to read their writings, Google "early Church Fathers". The Earliest ones were taught by the Apostles. Ignatius of Antioch us a real famous one because he was the first to use the term Catholic. He was taught by John and was made the 3rd Bishop of Antioch by Peter.

    Isaiah 66:5
    Hear the word of Jehovah, YOU men who are trembling at his word: “YOUR brothers that are hating YOU, that are excluding YOU by reason of my name, said, ‘May Jehovah be glorified!’ He must also appear with rejoicing on YOUR part, and they are the ones that will be put to shame.”
