Thank you for sharing the information about making the unconscious conscious. I had watched your earlier videos, and I am happy that your awakening continues and that you are sharing the things you are learning. When I disassociated from Watch Tower, my younger adult son was shunning me, so I wrote him a letter which had the effect of helping him to wake up, leave Watch Tower, and reunite with me. Pete Corbeil read my letter on his 'xjw curious' UA-cam channel under the title "A Shunned Father Writes a Life-changing Letter." I hope you will find time to view that video.
@RogerKirkpatrick I can’t thank you enough Roger, for watching my videos and story, but even more than that, I thank you for sharing your ‘letter’ to your son with us. I did watch it and was blown away by the research and facts you included. You showed conclusively many times how they are a ‘Do as I say and not as I do’ group. I am so thankful and happy to hear that your son has benefited and since left the Watchtower Org. What a joy that must have been! Congratulations on sharing and speaking your truth with him. I am also so sorry that you lost so many years of your life to this group of men proclaiming to be the chosen Voice of God. What a blasphemy! Let’s hope and pray that many more see/hear your letter and continue to do their critical thinking. We all deserve to live a life of freedom, with unconditional love at its core. Bless you Roger and your entire family. I’m sending you so much love. 💞
Hi Shawna ! We send our love to you. We know that you are a good person and we want you to know that expressing yourself so honestly and eloquently will help you become happier. It also will help others who find themselves feeling lost and abused. Be well! xo Frank and Karen
Welcome back @LearnLoveHeal Nice to see you again! Isn't it strange how we think we lived a "normal" life until we find out how horribly abused we really were while growing up! I completely understand what you are saying. Personally I had a few great therapists. I started therapy while I was still JW. I reasoned that I wasn't supposed to be depressed if I was JW. After all they're "the happiest people on earth" -- or at least that was the narrative of the day, on the inside of the cult.🤦♀ I'm so very sorry for your loss. My deep condolences. I lost my oldest brother in 2020.😢 I still feel him around at times, which is a comfort. Keep up your great healing work dear sister. 💗 Sending much love and healing vibes your way.💗
Thank you @Esther I appreciate that very much! I’m so happy to hear you were getting help even when still ‘inside’. I can imagine that mustn’t have been easy… I am also sorry to hear about your brother 😞 Thankfully, like you, I also feel Denis around too, … thankful to be out and be able to think and feel that ❤️ Sending you massive hugs 🤗
Thank you for sharing your story!!! Just started reading, “The Body Keeps the Score.” Good to see your healing! I left 2 yrs ago, I know I’ll be healing the rest of my life! But it’s been worth it!!!😍
@VirginiaGirl I am so happy to hear you have left the cult and are healing ❤️🩹 I feel the same way, that we will be healing from this forever, but it does get easier and at least we know we are not alone. I’m sending you so much love Virginia 💞
It takes a lot of courage and authenticity to open up in this way, Shawna. 💜 Love that quote as well. You're a powerful woman and a kind soul. 😊 Looking forward to more insightful videos from you!
I know and feel what you speak. Sending you my best. I've watched all of your videos and cried along with you. I know the pain. Sorry for our losses. Thank you so much for making your videos.
@Penny Tarrant I cannot even express to you how much I appreciate your sentiment and comment. It brings tears of appreciation to my eyes to know you’ve been there with me. May we continue to heal together ❤️
@@LearnLoveHeal I see. Well it was a brave, courageous and loving initiative that you needed I'm sure. So sorry that the watchtower did so much harm to people and families
@@LearnLoveHeal Your most welcome and deserving of love and care. It's my pleasure to send forward what I can. We were all children suffering together and we didn't know it.
wow! I don't know you but I feel deep love for you already. I was one of JWs for more the 40 years. I left the organisation over 3 years ago because it was killing me emotional and spiritually. I thank to God that he protected my heart to love him now even more. I am an active member of the Anglican Church now. I am a survivor of sexual child abuse but after therapy my life is worth living.
Bee Bee, I can’t thank you enough for your comment and love ❤️ I am so thankful you left and have kept the love in your heart stronger than ever. I feel you and am sending you so so much love. I’m happy you have found a path that works for you and keeps you in your heart, with unconditional love at its core 🥰🤗❤️
I’m happy for you. I’m glad to see you grow into the person you were always meant to be. JWs stunt our growth and force us to suppress who we really are. You be you and be proud of you.
Thank you for shareing your story. I was captivated by those first videos...I too, as many share the same pain. I hope you will continue putting out videos I find them very helpful. May I also say, How sorry I am for the loss of your friend. 🙏🏽
@trace G I can’t thank you enough for letting me know you’ve found my videos helpful. 🙏🏽 It means more to me than you know. I‘ll continue to put them out and it’s you and comments like yours which give me the courage to keep doing so. 😌 Thank again you with all my heart. ♥️
I've listened to all your videos over the last 24 hours and want to thank you for being so brave and speaking your truth. I was a JW for about 25 years and did a slow fade after that. That was 30 years ago and I am only realizing in the last month that I have never really been fully awake since those years. I've been listening to many of the videos from ex-JW's and heard one woman refer to "walk-away" Witnesses. To some extent, that's what I've been for the last 30 years. For example, I've had 4 life-threatening surgeries since leaving and each time requested no blood. I did not claim to be a JW and knew I would have no one to back me up if problems arose but really believed I was doing what would be pleasing to God. Let's just say I have a lot of studying to do over the next year or so and am working on the process of de-programming. At age 75, I still have a lot to learn. Again thank you and I hope you are continuing to grow in love and finding happiness in your life.
Thanks for sharing have you considered that there may not be an unconscious? Ive been reading the science of mental health - Ripperger, which examines the foundation of modern psychology largely based on the theories of Sigmund Freud and if it can truly withstand scrutiny. Interested if youve looked into the traditional views into how the mind and soul works?
Hi it was very heartwarming to hear your story, I’ve been waking up last 8 years 3 of those years I went back in only to be able to communicate with my 3 kids that are still in, their dad is in with his wife. He cheated on me and I was the one who was pushed of the scene as would speak my mind and of course elders the cong ect supported him. I raised 4 kids now adults and married, in the cult my 2nd became atheist and helped in my waking up. I thought I could save them and wake them up, I planted seeds of doubt CSA lawyers money ect with my oldest son but now I have to move on I’m moving to be with my son and my two grand babies from australia they are good kids and so is their dad and his wife they will have each other I’ve given to much of my life to others and not my self like you you just don’t realise how much past traumas exist in your past affect you I was a people pleaser. I hardly hear from my kids I’m guessing I have that invisible warning sign on my head apaostate 😮 even tho they know I’m back at meetings but I’m fading I do like to listen to compare what I hear from fellow apostates and supporters to where GB are steering the flock and to be honest it’s scary koolaide scary I trust love and that’s what I do I love my kids and I’m here for them and they know that 🫶🏼👏🏻👊🏼
@Gracie PIMO I am so sorry that this Organization tore your family apart. It is so so sad how many of us have been adversely affected 😓 I’m sending you the biggest hugs, know you’re not alone. Your unconditional love for your children and family will be the greatest gift you can ever give them. 💜
I’m so sorry you’ve gone through the teeth grinding experience. I hope you’ve been able to resolve any traumas you’ve had pertaining to this. Sending massive hugs! 🤗
@@LearnLoveHeal Thank you so much, I'm on that path and I'm so happy that you are healing as well. Yes I have such a problem with grinding but wear a mouth guard when I sleep. I try ne er to forget it. Thanks for your encouraging video and God bless you 🙏🏼
@@Shami.Hopeful.Lady777 Thank you Robyn! I am so glad you’ve taken precautions with your teeth. I did so much damage not being ‘aware’ and I am still paying for it, but at least I don’t grind anymore.. much of the repressed anger/pain is being processed and released, thankfully. I am so happy to share my experience to help others in any way possible. Thank you for being with me on this journey. Bless you and keep shining 💕
You have an E-mail adres to write? Regards from Netherlands. We are the Foundation of "against Watchtower shunning policy." Thanks that you came back to explain your situation
Thank you so much for watching! Great to know about your foundation! We need more speaking up about the practices of the JW Org and the effect it has. You can contact me through my website www.LearnLoveHeal.co Sending love your way 💕
Hi I am so sorry to hear your life store and all the things you went though. You are going to think this is crazy but when my wife and I were marred she was a JW and I was a LDS. We were married for 49 years when she passed away. We have 4 children. I know that life is not easy or fair. Going though life I always said that I had to deal with the hand that was give me. I also knew that there were people out there that were going though worse things than I was. I also know that some time I will be facing God and he will ask me how I treated his daughter. (Act 17:28-29) Yes we are the offspring of God.
Hello Shawna; If you are true and you are telling us facts about you and your life. Best to use words like testimony, exposé, report as lawful authorities accept as facts, unlike words like, story, and tale which means fantasy and unreality. Sending my best and lots of love energy, We are whistleblowers, we are not ex anything because our brains were hijacked from babyhood meaning we did not have informed consent.
