    I don't know how the algorithm brought me to your video, but I hope that you were/are able to find safety in a community that accepts you.

    I grew up with Moody Bible Institute in the Billy Graham Center was located and they were the most hateful group of people I’ve ever met. So I never wanted to read anything that those people had to say. So that response seemed fair to me, but they really felt it was so important instead of being vicious and inciting to mob action they would go do the preaching work. It’s easy to romanticize some of these other groups when you haven’t had personal experience with how rotten they are in their conduct. They’re openly unloving to anyone that is not of their belief.
    I would really love it if you could put all of these videos in order for a playlist because I’m not finding it in the playlists and that way, I don’t have to keep looking for part two part three because it jumbles it all over the place on my phone. Thank you and I do appreciate very much that you’re sharing.

    Hi Ali’s mom!💕
    I’m Tracy. I live in California. Congrats on you’re waking up🎉🎉🎉 I had lots of questions going in my head but I knew, don’t ask, just trust the brothers! Haha !!!😂😂😂
    My kids left, my daughter got disfellowshipped & they (the elders) never even talked to her!!! She was 15! My son also got disfellowshipped for something dumb. He said whatever, he too wanted out. He stopped believing. I’m so proud of them. I wish I’d been brave enough to leave a long time ago! Without my kids, I decided I would leave with them or I guess I said I was taking a break, I always planned to go back at some point, but….. when I fell down the rabbit hole of information, wowza!🤯🤯🤯 Once I found out all the lies, the child SA and them protecting the pedos, then Jeffrey Jackson lying under oath? I knew I’d never go back. My mother shunned me the last 8 years of her life, her choice 😰 I was able to save my sister though! So we’ve been back together almost 4 years now. Oct 2024 will be my 12 years of freedom!! My mother is one that I could show her the proof and she would say it’s apostate lies!!!
    I’m so glad to be out! I was a 4th generation witness. I was 42 when I left and I haven’t looked back! Well, that’s not really true, I live across the street from the Kingdom Hall 😂😂😂 Sorry it got so long! I think I talked to Ali before😃 I hope you’re doing well😃

      I am hapi for you. I was raised JW too. I hate the term the truth.
      The rabbit hole goes way past Christianity. Christianity was developed by the Romans to enslave humanity.

      Congrats Tracy. I read so many experiences like yours here on the tube and sometimes Reddit and it's mind boggling. When I finally broke free, the love and acceptance I felt from my actual community (people where I live and work) was the most amazing thing I'd ever felt. These "Worldly" people are kind, empathetic and loving. I was told they are dangerous, harmful people and yet all the dangers and harm came from the JWs. Anyway, welcome to the party! You're free now!!!🎉🎉🎉

      The first step out of the Kingdom Hall is probably the best.
      But be careful of The never ending snares that other people end up stepping right into trading one lie for another.
      To make it super simplified of the billions of people who believe in the Bible and believe that the devil is the maker of lies and corruption and manipulation then you should be aware that books that require interpretation are his best tools.
      Not to mention that Babylon the great which represents Catholics who are best known as Roman Catholics and in Rome is where the Bible is put together a quick Google search will show you that it was more of history of hate between a small fighting zone all you have to do is Google map of Bible stories.
      There's a lot more to the truth of discovering the world's most disgusting lie monotheism and the only recorded God that wanted to be the almighty God is the devil lol.
      Most people don't even know that Muslims Jews and Christians all worship the same God the god of😂😂😂😂 and fight like Cain and Abel for their validation.
      Anyhow the more you look the more you'll find the lies fall apart easier than a kindergarten gingerbread house.
      However my special message to you is that congratulations you stepped out and now when you're ready to start a new journey in life there are plenty of sources to open all the great doors to anything and everything you desire to make your life the most enjoyable life thereby being the greatest gift to yourself and to creation.

    Hello Beautiful, what you are doing is very bold, which takes a lot of strength. Thank you for sharing. Jehovah Witnesses exhibit an entitlement believing they have a monopoly on right and wrong while under a demonic oppressive organization.
    Live your best and wonderful life. Please come from up under that shame and guilt if you're there. I appreciate you ❤

    I can tell you my own personal horror stories of what experienced being a witness. I even wrote bethel to react an article about a missionary and what her and 3 other sisters did to me. I was homeless with my grandmother with me for 10 months. I asked the elders for help. They said they with what ever little means the congregation has and emphasis on little means. Like don't even ask for money!! We lived in. 16 hotels in to months. The congregation did nothing to help us. 2 weeks before we were finally moving into a rental I told the group off brothers and sisters(yah they shouldn't even be called brothers and sisters) my grandmother and I was assigned to. I told them how could they abandon 2 homeless people who have been in your congregation for soo many years. We were your friends, your sisters. They didn't even call to check on us. They didn't even ask if we needed anything. They didn't even offer a sandwich! I called them disgraceful and I said I'll say a prayer to God to forgive you because I couldn't forgive them. My grandmother who has dementia ...(crying as I'm typing) was with me and no one even checked on her! All of a sudden I get a million messages let's us help you! Yah 10 months and 16 hotels later!! I wouldn't take anything from them because I felt like if I took something from them I would be lowering my self to there rotten level. I have hundreds of these stories I experienced in the more 40 years of my life being raised as a jehovahs witness.

    I’m a 72 year old PIMO. A few years back I was at a supermarket and was approached by a lady who attempted to offer me a non-JW religious brochure. Right away I refused and promptly told her that I was a Jehovah’s Witness and could not accept her brochure. She looked at me and said: “You, Jehovah’s Witnesses, want us to accept and read YOUR literature but you will not accept ours”. Having said that, the lady walked away but left me thinking that she was right. I am slowly fading from the JW organization. Finding out about the JW CSA scandals did it for me to realize that the WT and the GB do not represent Jehovah or Jesus Christ. This organization is a cult and far from holy. What a let down and disappointment 😠.
