    I was raised as a JW since the age of 3. I married a witness brother at the age of 17 to escape an abusive dysfunctional family life. I stayed in the abusive marriage for 21 years because I was told it was what Jehovah wanted, since my spouse had not committed adultery. I finally moved out 24 years ago. Once I was on the outside it became clear what the constant inconsistencies were, (but we were not to question any of their teachings.) I haven’t followed ex JW’s for quite a while. I was shocked to find the particulars about the 2023 annual meeting. I’m checking out all of the sites now, and I’m amazed at the changes within the organization. My sisters are wives of elders and PO’s. I am truly trusting in my God to hold the imperfect brothers accountable for myself and my teenage children leaving as well. I appealed the decision to disfellowship me after my judicial hearing, and an announcement was made to the congregation the very next week that they received a letter of disassociation from me. I never wrote any letter except for my appeal. My wish is for those brothers to be judged with the same manner of contempt that they treated myself and my children with.

    Testimonies are so important for exJWs. Leaving/awakening is a difficult process. My issue was that I didn't know how to think for myself until I went back to adult learning because I needed to find different work. Surprise! New experiences, new lovely friends, and growth. To hear happy people and laughter and know that they now have an inner peace that heals the soul. Wow, just wonderful, thanks for posting these talks.

      I was in a similar situation when I was young, my mothers unbelieving mate (my dad) was going to be destroyed unless he died before Armageddon, he may then get a resurrection. As cruel as it is, a pioneer sister once said to me ''he'd be better off dead' , not good for a young mind to process. I am glad you are out of it.

    How could you all leave, Steven Lett said "We are living in the final last of the final last days, before the last days shortly before the last days of the final last days." lol (I don't remember if I got it correct). Great interview, how Sheri described her family member as opposed to how the congregation saw them is a lot of my family. Natural Born dictators that over reach more than an elder with family, but "Oh look at all the spiritual accomplishment, such a great heritage" (maybe if they also applied what they teach to themselves).
    All this stuff going on that the organization is doing and how in the world can the Elders (Or the organization) expect people to stay? Yet that call it "BALD FACE LIES" As far as the GB not being the channel, Jeffery Winder stated at the annual meeting "We are neither inspired or infallible, and don't have to apologies for not getting it right" (along those lines). Sounds like they're throwing Jehovah under the bus. I'm not involved in any Judicial meetings, but I'm on my way out soon. How Bobby was when Sheri shows her information is exactly how my mother is (looking like a total dingbat). It's going to be a shame when I leave (looking for a new place to live... non - witnesses) because of the shunning, but at least I've been building a social network outside the organization in secret.

    Even a Christian cannot brush aside the worship of Jehovah as God. In Revelation 1:5 the Son of God called him "Jesus Christ, 'The Faithful Witness.'" When on earth as a man he was a Jew, an Israelite, to whose nation the words of Isaiah 43:10 were written: ""You are my witnesses, ' is the utterance of Jehovah, 'even my servant whom I have chosen.'" Jesus demonstrated that he was a faithful and true witness of Jehovah God. His genuine disciples today must be the same kind of witnesses, Jehovah's.

      The changes they also said they are not led by God. U keep doing ur research more and more and u see all the messed up things the org is involved with .
      Even if u don't accept Jesus as God u have to admit this ppl are something and purposely lieing also in court cases.
      If jeses is in court would say the direct truth . Anything that would happen let it happen
      But watchtower it is .... Ummm.. no we didn't mean it like that ... Then lieing just trying to be in the good side of the court other than saying the truth. If that really who u think God speaks through. Someone that denies the law they said God gave them in court is something

  • @DavidScheller-lr5cw
    @DavidScheller-lr5cw 10 місяців тому +1

    JW's teach there is no hell but the following proves differently.
    Jesus Himself Speaks About Hell And How Not To Go There:
    In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus describes a rich man that lived lavishly and a poor beggar man named Lazarus. It came to pass that Lazarus died and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom. The rich man died, was buried, then went to hell. 23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in TORMENT, saw Abraham afar off and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue, for I am tormented IN THIS FLAME. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that you in your lifetime received good things, and likewise Lazarus received evil things, but now he is comforted and you are tormented. 26 And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that they which would pass from hence to you can not, neither can they pass to us, and would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray you therefore father, that you would send him to my father’s house. 28 For I have 5 brothers that he may testify unto them, lest also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay father Abraham, but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.”
    LOCATION OF HELL: Jesus said in Matthew 12:40, ”For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the HEART OF THE EARTH.” Paul said in Ephesians 4:9, ”Now that he ascended, was it but that he also DESCENDED into the LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH.”
    HELL IS A PLACE OF FIRE: Jesus said in Luke 16:24,”….Father Abraham have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue for I am TORMENTED IN THIS FLAME.”
    Jesus said in Matthew 13:42,”And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE, there shall be WAILING AND GNASHING OF TEETH.” Jesus said in Matthew 25:41,”Then shall he also say to them on the left hand, Depart from me, you cursed, INTO EVERLASTING FIRE, prepared for the devil and his angels.”
    Jesus said in Revelation 20:15,”And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was CAST INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.”
    HELL IS A PLACE OF TORMENT: Jesus said in Luke 16:23,”And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in TORMENT….” 24 …..for I am TORMENTED in this flame.” Jesus said in Revelation 14:11,”And the smoke of their TORMENT ascended up FOR EVER AND EVER, and they have no rest day or night….” Jesus said in Mark 9:45-46,”And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off, it is better for you to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the FIRE THAT NEVER SHALL BE QUENCHED. 46 Where their WORM DIES NOT, and the fire is not quenched.” Note that it doesn’t say “THE Worm”, it says “THEIR WORM” dies not. Jesus said in Revelation 21:8,”But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whore mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns WITH FIRE AND BRIMSTONE, which is the second death.” Note that Brimstone is Sulfur and burns with a very strong odor of rotten eggs.
    The scriptures above prove when a person goes to hell they will constantly see hell, constantly smell hell, constantly feel the heat of hell, will constantly breath hell, will constantly hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth of others in hell, will constantly be aware of their own worms, they will have no rest day or night, there is no way out and it will continue for ever and ever, they can’t die because they are already dead.
    The following is how to not go there and it is a SIMPLE AND EASY thing to do:
    All of the book of Acts is what Jesus disciples said what we must to be SAVED - meaning not go to hell, which is repentance, water baptism in Jesus NAME, (Not the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) and being baptized with the Holy Ghost. Jesus said in Mark 16:16,"He that believes and is BAPTIZED shall be SAVED, but he that believes not shall be damned."
    At about that same time He said in Matthew 28:19,"Go therefore and teach all nations BAPTIZING them in the name (SINGULAR name and not name's) OF the Father, and OF the Son, and OF the Holy Ghost." Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are titles and not names. Jesus disciples never used those words when they baptized anyone in water, nor did they use those words in one sentence regarding any other topic. Every time they invoked Jesus NAME at baptism which is Acts 2:38, Acts 8:14-18, Acts 8:38, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Acts 18:7, Acts 18:8, Acts 19:3-5, and Acts 22:16.
    Jesus said in John 3:3-7,"Verily, verily I say unto you, Except a man BE BORN AGAIN, he can not see the kingdom of God. 5 Verily, verily I say unto you, Except a man be born of water AND of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 7 Marvel not that I say unto you, YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN." Being born of water is being baptized in water which is for the REMISSION OF SINS - meaning the INITIAL remission of sins and not the confessing of sins later addressed in 1 John 1:9. Being born of the Spirit is being baptized with the Holy Ghost. What being baptized with the Holy Ghost means is addressed in Acts 2:3-4, (Pentecost), Acts 8:17, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, and Acts 19:3-5 - which is when the Spirit of Christ initially dwells in a person. Nowhere in Scripture does it say it happens any other way than that way. There is not one Scripture that says a person receives the Holy Ghost just because they are a believer. Acts 19:1-5 is a good example.
    Paul said in Romans 8:9-11,”But you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, HE IS NONE OF HIS."
    Numbers 23:19, ”God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should repent, has he said and shall he not do it? And shall he not make it good?”
    Malachi 3:6,”For I am the Lord, I change not...”
    Hebrews 13:8,”Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” That means there is no reason to think that Jesus will make an exception and save someone that has not been baptized in water in Jesus NAME, and has not been baptized with the Holy Ghost.
    Some say the thief on the cross next to Jesus was not baptized yet Jesus told him he would be in paradise with him that day. Jesus had not given the COMMANDMENT to be baptized in HIS NAME until after he had risen from the dead and before he ascended into heaven. The thief on the cross could not have been baptized because he did not know about it.
    if you do what Jesus said above in Mark 16:16, Matthew 28:19, and John 3:3-7, you will be making SURE your name is Written In Lamb's Book Of Life.
    If you are convinced you need to get baptized in water in Jesus Name do a search and type in "United Pentecostal Church International", scroll down to just below the red box, type in your zip code, a screen will show a Church near you that will do that.
    Jesus said John 10:27, ”My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
