    This was randomly recommended to me too! I’ve been watching exjw content even though I’ve never been one. Hearing about the dismantling of cults such as this one and Scientology interests me. Anyway, thank you for sharing your story and may you and your daughter be blessed. What they put you through was effed up. From my POV, you can’t even blame it entirely on the religion, because even worldly people get messy like that. Your ex and that lady are just messy to the core. Being JW probably just made it worse lol! Have a good day

    They could be reinstated regardless of your status. I walked away years ago to experience life since I was raised as a JW with intentions of returning. Long story short every time I try Jehovah says HELL no (l😂). I’ve learn so much about this cult run by 10 bat shit, crazy old white men, it’s crazy. They teach you Jehovah is punishing you emotional blackmail. All you need is a relationship with Jehovah that’s all you need. So sorry you went through this.

    🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏This organization is sad and what they believe and its just to control you and makes you lose yourself, these people are very weird and manipulative and you lose everything, im glad I didnt get baptized, i cut everything off, bible study, going to the meetings,assembly, etc……..I FEEL FREE AND MYSELF AND OF COURSE GOD AND BEING ABLE TO TALK TO GOD, NOT THE ORGANIZATION……. There’s things I couldn’t understand and people in the congregation doing what they want but have the nerve to control you and put you down to make you look stupid like NOOOOO THATS A NARCISSISTIC MOVE RIGHT THERE……..I LEFT A TOXIC NARCISSISTIC RELATIONSHIP AND I’LL BE DAMN TO GO THROUGH IT AGAIN TO THIS RELIGION, NO WAYYY …. I’m so sorry you went through this and im glad your healing, and your not the only one and so i am proud you have the courage to do this video because many people need to hear this!!!❤❤❤❤, these people are nothing but emotionless and their fake don’t believe their smiles it’s all fake and when you leave the congregation they know you gonna live a better life with God thats why their jealous because their stuck in the system of believing what they want to believe and they create their own materials and words in the books…… they tell you things what’s you suppose to hear but deep down they really know what you suppose to know and they keep that a secret, GIRL KEEP THRIVING AND IM KEEP THRIVING, GET THEM NAILS DONE, GO ON AS MANY VACATIONS AS YOU WANT, GO GET THAT CAREER GOAL YOU ALEAYS WANTED….. GO SEE FAMILY AND MAKE FRIENDS, DANCE TO AFROBEATS, GO PUT ON YOUR BEST SEXY OUTFITS AND GO BE YOU, GOD LOVES YOU AND GOD DON’T JUDGE….PERIODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

      you were there? 🧐 i disagree, had i been able to attend his judicial committee then i would have known what was really happening against me and i could have avoided so much pain and confusion. the congregation was divided after he was announced because many were being loyal to him. girl you dont even know how disdainful this situation became against your god and me. oh and there were a few brothers (mic carriers) that knew how he felt about the sister he had been shepherding and they never said anything to me about it. they ate at my home every sunday and one of them was over almost daily with his family. then there were the friends that came over to offer only sympathy and hear the story. they didnt come back around to encourage me to go to the meetings, or out in service, no meals, no nothing…just busybodies. you just dont know what you are apart of and contributing to.

I was in shock and so confused at the time. I really believed that it was the truth. I started to watch these JW videos just to understand what this organization is all about. But anyway, I just ordered some of your herbal cigarettes. I can't wait to receive them. You are a beautiful woman. Thank you for all you do.

    That’s why we follow Jesus and not religion. All religious denominations are man made. I am a disciple of Jesus. I follow him and obey HIS voice and obey HIS scripture. I will never subscribe to religion. I went to church for years but lived an unfulfilled empty life until one day I heard a whisper in my spirit. It said, come out from amongst them”. I did just that! I Left that church and had an encounter with the true and living God on 7/7/19 in my bedroom. I have never looked back! Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. God bless you and may you come into the full KNOWledge of God in Christ Jesus.

    I am so proud of you! I so appreciate your sharing this video with us I have learned so much listening to your experience especially the mental emotional games played, cruel hurtful treatment by members in congregation. I too spent over 15yrs regular pioneering, assembly parts.. Jehovah blessing my ministry with studying and assisting them to baptism.. after my husband decided to confess his adultery I am the one start being treated like I committed the wrong!some of the "friends" shunning me. I havent been back to a live meeting since 2021..Hearing this video good for ... I too went through what you explained as a rebirth .. Even though my husband still attend live meetings I watch on Zoom how he's being used while I am being treated like I committed the wrong.. I am fully awoke yet I too struggle with how to move on with my spiritual life... I try reading my Bible but my mind drifts into negative thoughts about God's word is being used to manipulate masses 😢 I do not want to be apart of Organized Religion ... Thank you

Realize now it was a set up to get me to divorce him so he could run off with another woman and hang me out to dry... However! It had me twisted ... To be continued.......

    So you had no idea about ad sense monetization? (laugh) Your very first video got so many views. Parts 1, 2, and 3 got great viewership, and they still do. I know I've listened to each one on my way to and from work a few times. The true story that keeps on paying. (laugh again) As for the people who are mean in the comments. Always thank them. Whether they realize it or not, they gave precious time from their day to visit your world to see what was going on. You didn't visit them in their world. So, whoever you are, thank you. That's how I look at people with negative comments. I hope you'll keep uploading. Just upload about your life as a business owner. I've often wondered what that life is like. How did you find your building? Why did you choose the location, location, location? Why did you choose to package things in the containers that each item is in? What's it like filing taxes as a business owner versus an employee, trademarking your company's name, How many times a day do you have to go to the post office to ship orders or do you ship once a week. Yeh! I hope you'll upload some more videos. It was nice hearing from you again in this new video upload. Happy 2025!!!

    My dear sister, you are such a blessing and I’m so glad that you got out of that Hyper controlled religion. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith. We are free in Christ he that the son set free is free indeed enjoy the peace of God that path it all understanding. I witness to a lot of Jehovah witnesses where I live and I love the people oh my God do I love those people but I could see the brainwashing and it breaks my heart. I’ve built some relationship with Several of them, but I already started to see some of the elders, discouraging them from talking to me anymore so I passed by their carts and just say hi and a brief conversation, but I don’t want to disturb their ministry, but as I come around them, I just pray God open their eyes in the name of Jesus open their eyes , so my dear sister happy new year May 2025 be even better. I will keep watching your videos cause I really enjoy you. God bless brother Ray .

      here is some information to aid you in your judgements. he was born into this religion and was faithful to it all of his life. when we started dating he had spiritual goals that matched mine. those goals were lofty so we decided to forego having children in order to pursue them because having children is a choice. when we were planning, a hysterectomy AND vasectomy were on the table. he chose to have a vasectomy due to the ease of the recovery vs a hysterectomy and because we were unsure how the procedure would affect me hormonally. we were 2 people, married to each other, making decisions for our future while keeping our service to god at the forefront. he made the final decision to choose a vasectomy. i didnt nag or convince because there was no need to as i would have gotten the hysterectomy had he not gotten snipped. had we remained married there would be no reason for anyone to find me at fault for his decision. his body still produces sperm. there are MANY ways to cause pregnancy. there are many narrow, judgmental minds like yours in these comments. the fact that i have a daughter now is just how the chips fall. he has a wife and i do not have a husband, are you upset with him over that as equally as you are at me over a decision he made? when one is in a cult they do not realize that is the case. 🤦🏾‍♀️ obviously he still doesnt know since he is still part of that organization. your comments are extremely immature & judgmental to not know all of the details. you should work on empathy.
