I love this interview. She is very well spoken. What Nathalie said about Jesus is so true. Spending 47 years in WT, was NOT like this. It was micro managing and man made rules. "Considerate " is a word that she used to describe Jesus. This is the way we all should have felt in the organization. The shunning is hurtful and cruel. It has destroyed so many lives/families and sadly, made many to do the unthinkable. No one wants to be an outcast. Especially, when dealing with difficult times. Thank you Eric and beautiful Nathalie! Keep up the good work! You are helping MANY!
Thank you so much for your nice comment. Your words certainly show the kind of "considerate" person you are 😊I so share your thoughts on the shunning, shame on them for hurting people so badly ! They will have to render account, that's for sure !Take care, best regards. NB
Shunning is the most cruel, brutal, and idiotic move against a brother and sister in the faith. How can this apply to what the Bible says that we should love one another?, It is unchristian to the highest degree.
"Rude" is a very good word, I totally share the feeling. At least, it helped many to awake !!! But what a sad experience for those who have been abused. Best wishes, NB
Nathalie, I am not at all surprised that you woke up. I knew you and Erik when you were going through Gilead (we were in the same congregation) and your humility and love were notable to my wife and I. Those of us who are of that mindset cannot endure forever in the Watchtower, which is antithetical to both humility and love. I do hope that I can get reacquainted with you and your husband and share in our newfound Christian freedom.
Hello there ! Thank you for your nice comment. So, we were in the same congregation... you make me curious now ! Any suggestions as to how we can get in touch without giving our details to the whole world ?! ☺NB
@@VickyMao That would be wonderful. Since I am quite certain Eric has your contract information, I will reach out to him to share that with you. Looking forward to catching up.
Thank you so much for this interview. Very encouraging. Am from Australia left in 2020 at 80 years old. Feel the same my service was given to GOD not man . Many blessings to you all. 🙏🙏🙏♥️🌻
Never think your life is wasted in genuine service of God. He knows that we were blinded and deceived. But in that respect, he sees our hearts when we serve him, even when we serve in a way that we later discovered to be wrong. The path you've experienced, is a valuable one, for what you can give to others which they will never experience, and through you, they can learn to avoid such experiences. :)
Look at it on the Bright side ,you got the chance and will continue to have the chance , to read ,the words of the greatest PERSON in the universe ,something many persons have and will never be able to do.John 8:31-32
I was in the org for 40 years.. 4 generations of very strict JW’s! I missed out on a lot of things growing up, but had I not been raised in it, I wouldn’t have the experience or knowledge to be able to HELP others wake up & keep others from joining!! God uses us where he needs us!! Nothing is ever a waste.. just depends on how you want to look at it & what you do with it. I’m now 70 & hope to help many others in the future! If we don’t EXPOSE watchtower, who will?!?!
What started me to wake up was an assembly in Florida. It was around 2018. The speaker at the assembly was mentioned new "truths" and than talked about past "truths". I thought to my self how can they call past beliefs past truths. Evidently they were never the truth in the first place. I mentioned it in the car group on the way home. Needless to say they reacted like I was an apostate. This started me the the road to waking up. It took about a year but I finally realized this isn't God's organization as they claimed. I was being brained washed from the time I was a child. So happy to finally be free from this organization. The Bible says "you will know the truth and the truth will set you free"
The scripture says the light gets brighter and brighter, its not one light off and another on. New light this year is basically a flip flop. Paradise earth book in hard cover i believe pg 179. As far as beards and no service time for rank and file may have something to do with government money's. How ever if its not scriptural for rank and file, why for pioneers don't they believe they will be honest enough to check the appropriate pioneer box?? After all the slip they use has plenty of room.
Nathalie is a beautiful child of God. Thank you Eric for introducing her and so many others to us! Like Elijah, we may sometimes feel all alone in our worship. But we are not alone at all! May God's will be done! ❤
@@VickyMao Nothing can make us more compassionate towards others like having walked that same dark path. But it is so glorious here on the other side with Christ and our true family, his followers, .❤
Mêrci beaucoup pour ce bel échange avec Nathalie , je comprends ses sentiments, j'ai grandi dans Cette communauté et j'en suis sortie à 48 ans , régulièrement je ne me sentais pas à ma place, je me disais, si Jésus était là, parmi nous, il n'aimerait pas ce qui Est imposé, je comparais souvent certaines attitudes aux pharisiens de l'époque , Merci pour ce témoignage
Merci pour ces mots, auxquels je souscris tout à fait. Et oui, c'est tout à fait ça : ce sont des pharisiens ! Bonne continuation, et bénédictions de notre Père ! NB
Merci Nathalie. On sent que tu as toujours fait les choses avec ton cœur, donc quoi regretter ? Oui, nous sommes tombés de haut mais nous nous sommes relevés, gardant toujours notre conscience nette, des adultes apprenant toujours mieux à discerner le bien et le mal en écoutant seulement la voix du Christ. Merci encore à vous deux.
I was a single sister with 3 children and I was picked on constantly elders called me names they told a circuit overseer that I visited New York when I was 51 years old first time on aeroplane when circuit overseer was in platform he started shouting Some people go to newyork Looking for Happiness e looked at me saying Maby you have enough Allready all I did was go on a holiday it was a small congregation bout 40 or 50 in the hall they all heard him other elders old call me names I would feel sick before meetings so I had to leave my hometown and a council house and rent a place 2hours away those Enemies the elders wrote a letter of introduction so I was not welcomed there either I ask can I see what’s written down about me they say to me yOU will never see it they do not know how the other elders treated me so I am quietly Enduring now I’m 70 years old and feel very Sad 😢
Thank you too! Eric's work is indeed very encouraging, we all need to hear each others' experiences, and we certainly benefit from them all. May God bless you ! NB
I personally felt the non support of the congregation as a mother trying to raise her children as Jehovah's Witness with an inactive husband. People kept telling me, what I was feeling was not true. This is the first interview of an elders wife who discussed her distress over how women are treated if they were not connected to an active husband. Thank you for that validation.
It's so good to see that Nathalie and Eric have found their way free. I remember you guys when we were at Wallkill when you went through Gilead. I remember your warmth & love. It was a hard day when you left for your assignment. The Greatest Man Book was my favorite too and was key in me waking up. May God bless you both!
Hello there ! You got me curious now, hahaha ! We'd like to get in touch, if that's ok with you of course 😊 Maybe you can do it through Eric (Wilson). Meanwhile, may God bless you too ! NB ♥
Bless you my fine sister and all of us ex sisters and brothers bearing the truth of this cult our powerful heavenly father and his son will continue to expose and crush this cult with truth amen
Interesting how so many share the same feelings and thoughts. It just shows that we are not "crazy" ! We've all experienced the same situations, it's not made up stories. If the Org. doensn't "understand" us, at least we know that we do understand each other. All the best to you, NB
Yes, the way Jesus did things when he was on earth! Jesus would say to the governing body, "get away from me you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you". Wonderful interview.
If we have been betrayed by those claim to be appointed by God to care for us, the account of the man born blind ( John 9:1-41 ) is so encouraging. I love the part in vs 35 where it says. “ When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man..”. Jesus will come and find us too, when we stand up for him.
Thanks for this interview. I'm from France, I woke up one year ago and left the organistion. If Nathalie agree, I would like to get in touch. Her ex-sister in law, Karine, is one of my friend and there's good new about her.
Merci. Cela fait vraiment plaisir de voir que tant de personnes se "réveillent" ! Si mon ex belle-soeur s'est réveillée aussi, j'en suis heureuse pour elle ; salue-la de ma part, s'il-te-plaît. Bonne continuation, et bénédictions de notre Père ! NB
@@VickyMaoMerci pour votre retour. je lui transmet votre salutation. Elle a écrit une lettre de retrait il y a 2 semaines. Cela sera sans doute annoncé ce soir dans l'assemblée où elle était. Le réveil a été éprouvant pour elle, elle a vécu de épreuves terribles et destructrices dans cette organisation.
We were trained not to think our own thoughts. Looking back at it all I can say is wow! Look how much control the organisation had on us that we weren't allowed anything as basic as freedom of thought!😢
I wish that was my mom sitting on that couch. My mom is 80 years old now and both my parents are full in and dad is an elder and she does what he says or else. She still works at our local subway at 80 years old on top of having blood cancer!! I know my mom knows the truth about things but my dad keeps her and the rest of my family away from me only because I don’t believe what they do anymore! I live a good happy clean life. I’m married with 5 children and this last Christmas I decided to have a tree in our house and because elders drove past my house and seen the lights now my parents won’t even come into my home. There missing out on there grandkids and my oldest boy is 14 now and was studying with my dad for 4 years and decided he didn’t want to anymore and he hasn’t seen my dad since they stopped studying and it’s so hurtful and sad to see my boy feeling this way but I’ve explained things the best I can. But we as my own family now are (worldly) people that they don’t want to be around anymore and I know the elders are putting A lot on my parents because they didn’t even come to my own wedding and it literally broke my heart and I ended up crying and going to bed by myself on my wedding night because they embarrassed me and that was the most pain I’ve ever felt!! I’m growing and raising my kids the right way and let them make there own choices in life when there old enough. Dad use to tell me I wasn’t going to see 20 years old and now I’m almost 40 and nothing has changed other then the org joining the devil (internet) I’m so sorry for the ones still stuck in because of family but trust me I lost almost all my family but I have gained a new one that loves me unconditionally not like witnesses wearer your in or your not. If your not your better off dead to the rest even your family but there are other loves in our lives we need to find and mine was my wife and kids! They keep me alive and going every day ❤ thanks so much for your insight I really appreciate it and I hope more people wake up and listen to people who love u! Not men that don’t care
Hello dear one ! I'm so sorry you have experienced all of this (and still are), and I can totally relate. What they make us go through is so painful, and so tragic. It literally destroys families. One thing is for sure our Father and his Son are deeply aware of it, and no doubt they feel for you. I look forward to the day when they'll "mend" us from these hurtful feelings for good. Meanwhile, I'm glad you've got loving people around you. May God and his Son bless you and your family ! ♥ NB
Hello BZ wife. I enjoyed the interview with your husband and equaly now yours, I think you both married well and it makes me happy that you have awoken to the unfortunate deception of the WBATS. What was the numerical number of your graduational class of Gilead and its actual date 📅, depending on your answers I may have an additional question or questions about who might have been in that same class, either you or BZ can answer. Thankyou Eric for another excellent interview with another family 👪 member.
Hello ! Thank you ! We were in the 92nd class, we graduated in spring 1992. If I remember well, we were in the June 1992 issue of the Wattchtower (1st or 15th). May God bless you ! NB
Our zoom meetings are simple bible studies. One person (man or woman) conducts much as a conductor conducts an orchestra. In other words, they ensure an orderly development of the theme by asking for comments. We read from the assigned portion of the bible and after reading a few verses, the conductor asks for comments. All are encouraged to comment based on the material under consideration. That's pretty much the sum total of it all. The schedule is posts here along with buttons to enable anyone to join the zoom meeting. beroeans.net/events/
As a missionary labouring hard in a strange land to hear Geofry Jackson say that they are not so presumptuous to claim to be god's channel must have been life shattering for this woman. Her entire purpose in life suddenly destroyed in a moment and having to reshape her life must have been the ultimate challenge. That she still posseses such poise and peace after such an ordeal demonstrates her depth of love for God and truth.
Thank you for your kind words. Although I wasn't a missionnary anymore when I heard those words, it's true that hearing the lies of the GB has been disturbing, extremely disappointing and painful. But what an eye-opener ! May God bless you ! NB
@@VickyMao At least you didn't have to hear those words as an active missionary. I wish the cross examining attorney had known enough of the bible to follow up and ask how could they be joint heirs to rule with Christ and not be god's channel? That would of completely unmasked them.
Hello ! If you mean what did I feel about the fact that they had arranged the UN Tour, well... I was certainly surprised... but I didn't make much of it ... at the time ! Let's keep in mind that in those days, we (my husband and I) were fully in the organization, and plus having been invited to Gilead was a huge privilege, we were over the moon ! Our frame of mind was like : "They must have a good reason for doing so !" They had our full trust. But finally, our eyes did open in the end. We are so grateful ! May God bless you ! NB
True but no need for that, Jehovah is still there for us despite the many bad experiences we may have had, let's do our best to look to the head, Jesus Christ who comforts us.
Don't forget what Jesus himself said that there would be wheat true Christians and weeds false Christians and the weeds would be under the control of there Father Satan the Devil.
Well i am not sure about the bible as competly accurate like i was taught by Jehovah's organization becaue i felt it was tampered with by men . This was part of my journey has helped me see life from different aspects . I dont beliveve in Jehovah a war god but i believe i have a heaveny father instead
Yes, for sure He is our Father. And I'm convinced that in due time He'll make sure the accuracy of his whole Word is made available to us. May God bless you ! NB
The leaders of the JWS twist logic and bible scripture to their own biased appeal in that they are receiving spiritual light upon Jah's chosen time, so any of are false teachings are still righteous and sanctioned, they are not to be put to question or debated even using the words of Jesus or scripture. Why ? because they are so they say his earthly chosen ones to receive his new light. Why did these men preach and teach the false doctrine of 1914 -This Generation for 100 years , where was god's correction and new light for that expressed doctrine ??? 🤔 What they are really doing is making up their own excuse for being apostate false prophets to keep their own personal followers, the ones who give them money and free labour . The bible instructs true Christians to watch out for false prophets and to not listen to them . 1John 4 :1 ...... Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. To be a false prophet is so condemning to god is that he will toss false prophets into the lake of fire with Satan for ever and ever at his chosen time. Revelation 20:10 ...... And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. It is quite obvious then this organization has been guided by the spiritual light of Satan the father of the lie and deceiver against and opposed to Jehovah and Jesus . 😳
It's so true ! They've got such a big responsability in twisting the Scriptures and misleading people. How sad to see that they are more concerned by their position than truly helping people. May God bless you ! NB

What he said about past truths was that they now have new light so that the "truth" in the past was no longer true.
The scripture says the light gets brighter and brighter, its not one light off and another on. New light this year is basically a flip flop. Paradise earth book in hard cover i believe pg 179. As far as beards and no service time for rank and file may have something to do with government money's. How ever if its not scriptural for rank and file, why for pioneers don't they believe they will be honest enough to check the appropriate pioneer box?? After all the slip they use has plenty of room.

I wish that was my mom sitting on that couch. My mom is 80 years old now and both my parents are full in and dad is an elder and she does what he says or else. She still works at our local subway at 80 years old on top of having blood cancer!! I know my mom knows the truth about things but my dad keeps her and the rest of my family away from me only because I don’t believe what they do anymore! I live a good happy clean life. I’m married with 5 children and this last Christmas I decided to have a tree in our house and because elders drove past my house and seen the lights now my parents won’t even come into my home. There missing out on there grandkids and my oldest boy is 14 now and was studying with my dad for 4 years and decided he didn’t want to anymore and he hasn’t seen my dad since they stopped studying and it’s so hurtful and sad to see my boy feeling this way but I’ve explained things the best I can. But we as my own family now are (worldly) people that they don’t want to be around anymore and I know the elders are putting A lot on my parents because they didn’t even come to my own wedding and it literally broke my heart and I ended up crying and going to bed by myself on my wedding night because they embarrassed me and that was the most pain I’ve ever felt!! I’m growing and raising my kids the right way and let them make there own choices in life when there old enough. Dad use to tell me I wasn’t going to see 20 years old and now I’m almost 40 and nothing has changed other then the org joining the devil (internet) I’m so sorry for the ones still stuck in because of family but trust me I lost almost all my family but I have gained a new one that loves me unconditionally not like witnesses wearer your in or your not. If your not your better off dead to the rest even your family but there are other loves in our lives we need to find and mine was my wife and kids! They keep me alive and going every day ❤ thanks so much for your insight I really appreciate it and I hope more people wake up and listen to people who love u! Not men that don’t care
Hello dear one ! I'm so sorry you have experienced all of this (and still are), and I can totally relate. What they make us go through is so painful, and so tragic. It literally destroys families. One thing is for sure our Father and his Son are deeply aware of it, and no doubt they feel for you. I look forward to the day when they'll "mend" us from these hurtful feelings for good. Meanwhile, I'm glad you've got loving people around you. May God and his Son bless you and your family ! ♥ NB

What was the numerical number of your graduational class of Gilead and its actual date 📅, depending on your answers I may have an additional question or questions about who might have been in that same class, either you or BZ can answer. Thankyou Eric for another excellent interview with another family 👪 member.
Hello ! Thank you ! We were in the 92nd class, we graduated in spring 1992. If I remember well, we were in the June 1992 issue of the Wattchtower (1st or 15th). May God bless you ! NB
More such interviews will help
Hi what a nice interview I'd like to know more about the zoom meetings though if possible
Our zoom meetings are simple bible studies. One person (man or woman) conducts much as a conductor conducts an orchestra. In other words, they ensure an orderly development of the theme by asking for comments.
We read from the assigned portion of the bible and after reading a few verses, the conductor asks for comments. All are encouraged to comment based on the material under consideration. That's pretty much the sum total of it all.
The schedule is posts here along with buttons to enable anyone to join the zoom meeting.

Hi ! Thank you ! I can see that EW has answered your question about the zoom meetings, you're in good hands ! 😊 All the best ! NB
As a missionary labouring hard in a strange land to hear Geofry Jackson say that they are not so presumptuous to claim to be god's channel must have been life shattering for this woman. Her entire purpose in life suddenly destroyed in a moment and having to reshape her life must have been the ultimate challenge. That she still posseses such poise and peace after such an ordeal demonstrates her depth of love for God and truth.
Thank you for your kind words. Although I wasn't a missionnary anymore when I heard those words, it's true that hearing the lies of the GB has been disturbing, extremely disappointing and painful. But what an eye-opener !
May God bless you ! NB
@@VickyMao At least you didn't have to hear those words as an active missionary. I wish the cross examining attorney had known enough of the bible to follow up and ask how could they be joint heirs to rule with Christ and not be god's channel? That would of completely unmasked them.
Excellent thought 👍
It's a pity. I really wanted to know more than anything, what her personal reaction was to the UN Tour!
Hello ! If you mean what did I feel about the fact that they had arranged the UN Tour, well... I was certainly surprised... but I didn't make much of it ... at the time !
Let's keep in mind that in those days, we (my husband and I) were fully in the organization, and plus having been invited to Gilead was a huge privilege, we were over the moon ! Our frame of mind was like : "They must have a good reason for doing so !" They had our full trust.
But finally, our eyes did open in the end. We are so grateful !
May God bless you ! NB
Another thing to do when you leave Watchtower is start studying the Bible (not NWT) with other Christians at a "Christ centered" church. 😊
God bless
Yes, reading, studying and comparing with other translations is certainly a good option 😉May God bless you ! NB
@@VickyMao Thanks
You too! ☺️
Thanks
Wine and cheese yum!
Hahaha ! I wasn't aware that the Beroeans would add this part ! Glad you liked it ! 😉 All the best ! NB

True but no need for that, Jehovah is still there for us despite the many bad experiences we may have had, let's do our best to look to the head, Jesus Christ who comforts us.
Hello ! You're right, like so many other religions as well, by the way. May God bless you ! NB
Don't forget what Jesus himself said that there would be wheat true Christians and weeds false Christians and the weeds would be under the control of there Father Satan the Devil.
Hello ! This is true, thank you for your thoughts. May God bless you ! NB
Well i am not sure about the bible as competly accurate like i was taught by Jehovah's organization becaue i felt it was tampered with by men . This was part of my journey has helped me see life from different aspects . I dont beliveve in Jehovah a war god but i believe i have a heaveny father instead
I totally agree with you
Yes, for sure He is our Father. And I'm convinced that in due time He'll make sure the accuracy of his whole Word is made available to us. May God bless you ! NB
Misconception. Christ would not need to be a male modeĺ,but a role model.
His perfection lay in the execution of the law.
Stories
Gilead???? 😱😱😱😱😱
Hahaha ! See, there's hope for everyone, right ?! 😉 NB

The leaders of the JWS twist logic and bible scripture to their own biased appeal in that they are receiving spiritual light upon Jah's chosen time, so any of are false teachings are still righteous and sanctioned, they are not to be put to question or debated even using the words of Jesus or scripture.
Why ? because they are so they say his earthly chosen ones to receive his new light.
Why did these men preach and teach the false doctrine of 1914 -This Generation for 100 years , where was god's correction and new light for that expressed doctrine ??? 🤔
What they are really doing is making up their own excuse for being apostate false prophets to keep their own personal followers, the ones who give them money and free labour . The bible instructs true Christians to watch out for false prophets and to not listen to them .
1John 4 :1 ......
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
To be a false prophet is so condemning to god is that he will toss false prophets into the lake of fire with Satan for ever and ever at his chosen time.
Revelation 20:10 ......
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
It is quite obvious then this organization has been guided by the spiritual light of Satan the father of the lie and deceiver against and opposed to Jehovah and Jesus . 😳
It's so true ! They've got such a big responsability in twisting the Scriptures and misleading people. How sad to see that they are more concerned by their position than truly helping people.
May God bless you ! NB
