    Not me forgetting to mention that they also do not accept blood transfusions! There is so much to unpack with this religion. I urge everyone to do their own research and be informed as much as possible. Thank you so much for having me Teaworld and our beautiful Queen Rammy❤

      You did a great interview Monica. One day I will have a sit down with Rami and tell her how my child and I suffered CSA within Jehovah's Witness Congregation and how it was pushed under a rug and was cast away for speaking up.
      I only untangled myself after 44 yrs of being born and raised a witness.

      "Jesus" means "Jehovah is salvation". This is the name of Christ real christians are hated for.
      "HalleluJah" means "Praze Jah" (Jehovah).
      Psalm 83: 18: "That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth."
      A lot of believers await for the God's Judgment and fiercely hate His witnesses...

    I reside in Norway, if there is one thing their government does is protect its people esp children. I was at a conference where we learnt that each child (native or not) is their potential Prime Minister. This is how they raise their children, to reflect, think on their own and have their own opinion, and that opinion is to be respected. Now good luck abusing the future Prime Minister. Their child protective laws are really protecting the children. This is an intelligent young woman, really inspiring.

    Very interesting conversation... really enjoyed this episode. She has research to back up what she is saying and you can hear that she is not a bitter or malicious person but rather wants to share information. I've always been sceptical of some of the practices like not accepting blood transfusion and not using contraceptive

    At a glance I wanted to comment and say why would u wanna trash JW just because u left , stay out and mind your own business and let them be . But then i decided to watch first and I'm glad I did , u really are or was born a JW . The disfellowship was the worst for me and just like Monica I was born to it and as soon as I started questioning some rules I was seen as a bad potato I eventualy stopped going and as many ex JW would agree we can't move on and be part of any other religion it's like we are broken beyond repair 😢

    1. Alcohol you drink in moderation (meaning you’re not supposed to get drunk).
    2. You don’t get disfellowshipped for dating or marrying a person who’s not part of the congregation.
    3. People who get baptised are those who know and understand the basics of the Bible.
    * I didn’t know there’s racism.
    * I have heard of cases of abuse but not sure how they were really handled.

    If JW was a person, I would say they have narcissistic personality disorder to the extreme! I know a friend who got married to someone in the church after her husband died, and the guy physically abused her and she opened a case against him and they got divorced. She told me that the church elders indoctrinated her and her children into the church under the pretext that it was marriage counselling and that they were trying to help them to navigate their way through blended family life! They hid the fact his previous wife was abused and died from heartache! I believe you Monica❤Strength to you and your family ❤❤

    They don't allow their members to marry outside. They don't believe in praying for the sick.

They ended up avoiding my parents' house.

    I sometimes ask myself that where are those congregations of Jehovah’s witnesses other people go to. I use to be an active Jehova’s witnesses I do agree to most things but some no I don’t hence am asking maybe it’s different for different areas. I can only talk about the ones I know. If things happen my way I would like to have an interview mostly also discussing about how it felt to be expelled from the congregation. Witb everything there are pros and cons. I personally appreciate learning to be so conscious about the things we do especially wrong things cos that has saved me in so many times. There is a lot to talk about and unpack.
