Wow! How inspiring was she? Holy moly! Great story! Thank you for sharing. I’m 50 and just woke up last year. Maybe I will go to school and learn something.
What a treat. I kept rewinding the video to hear many parts over and over again, it was speaking to me so profoundly. Thank you both for this amazing gift .
Thank you, Miriam and Vivian! I loved hearing Miriam describe her transformation from JW to the woman she is now. So inspiring! I spent some very formative years as a witness and that experience has impacted every aspect of my life. Even though I left the religion 40 years ago I can still relate to everyone's story. Thanks again for sharing so honestly. I'm planning to check out your blog!
Maion that's how I looked at the Org. Marion you have become my new shero. I'm so so glad you dreamed big and went after it. I hope someday we meet. Our stories are so similar.
@miriamdelaneyheard2234 Thank you so so so so so much! You're such a positive inspiration to this PIMO wife of an elder and who has a son who's an elder too! I'd love to talk to you one on one, I HAVE to get out! Although, it would cost me my family! 😢
Miriam, this was incredible. Your story was beautifully articulated, powerful, concise, clear and aware. Looking forward to reading your book. Thank you for sharing!
Now, you're heaven-sent! I will be showing this to women in the cult that are wanting to leave it. We have been so stunted, as women, in this cult. Your interview is amazing, encouraging, and INSTRUCTIONAL!!
Thank You, Sincerely! Your story was empowering, enthralling & inspiring. It had me on the edge of my seat. So many gems in this interview!! Too many relatable scenarios to count. Truly one of my favorite interviews to date!😍
Wow! This has been the most empowering exjw story I've ever heard. I loved every bit of Miriam's story, especially going to college and becoming a lawyer. I also experienced panic attacks and anxiety as a Jehovah's Witness. Thank you Vivian for the video!!
Loved your story Miriam! So compelling, relatable, but also inspiring ❤ Looking forward to reading your novel, and any other art/content you put out. You’re such a nerd and it made me so happy listening to you during this interview. Glad I’ve found a new role model to look up to 👏🏼
Wow really connect with you as i was raised as one myself amd now have spent most of my life wasting time a have been out for a year and now makong a life for myself and higher learning Thanks so much 😊
Good interview. Thank you, Vevian & Miriam! It is absolutely amazing what happens to us when we free our mind from this brain induced coma of a religion. The truth has set you free Miriam. Just a side note; I would love to hear more about the European blood transfusions issue.
@@miriamdelaneyheard2234, thank you, I did not know that. I'll definitely be doing research into that; something that the Governing Body discourages, research into their own religion that is. Wishing you continued success & happiness in your life's pursuit.
What a story. Thank you so much for sharing this and helping others to know there's hope and LIFE outside of the religion. Waking up and proceeding with life is NOT EASY, as I'm experiencing now, but it can be done. Especially hearing stories as this.
Miriam I am only 20 minutes into listening to your story and I realized I know you. I remember you and your husband and your daughter. Your daughter was just a baby when I was there. One of the few kids there. I left the witnesses 6 years ago. I was in the Roanoke Congregation for about a year. I married John Boozer. I hated living in such a rural area so I didnt stay long. Please contact me I would love to catch up with you.
Anywhere else independent thinking is a skill set. Wow so profound. This is coming from a male you are spot on with that organization. I’m so glad you found your way out of it. You found your freedom and your independence and your individuality not to mention your calling that would’ve never happened inside that organization
You tell an amazing real life experience, I’m so happy you finally realized your authentic life ! It’s so sad that family would rather have you live an unfulfilling life inside there cult rather than have you happy , even though you’re doing nothing wrong ! Thanks for your amazing story
You lose a lot but you gain so much more when you receive the gift of grace eternal life through Jesus Christ. It always saddens me when people leave that false religious organization and their testimony is about themselves in the organization and not about their salvation through Jesus Christ our Savior. Matthew 19:29 👑 “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life”
JW are changing .....no more preaching time, no date or idea when Armaggedon coming and not be so judgmental against Ex JW and DF ones. New light this month I heard
This is the definition of throwing out the baby with the bath water! There are good and bad people everywhere you go. You can't go around blaming a group of people based on 1 or 2 people or 1 or 2 experiences. Truth is you wanted an out and you found an excuse to get out. Now you have to deal with the results.
Wow! How inspiring was she? Holy moly! Great story! Thank you for sharing. I’m 50 and just woke up last year. Maybe I will go to school and learn something.
Good for you. Best wishes for your future!
Congratulations. It is great to hear that so many are waking up

That's why Vevian's channel is so important. I would love it if my story helped even 1 woman to wake up!

Thanks so much. JWs changed their stance on disfellowshipping members who accept blood transfusions because of pressure from Bulgaria.

Amazing....
Thanks!
Oh my god. She was fabulous. This was such an interesting story told by an intelligent wonderful woman. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
I wish I would've learn the concept of her parents going to college but she couldn't. I really needed to know their thought process in that.
So encouraging, I feel more empowered after listening to you!
Thank you for listening!
Thanks for sharing, Miriam. Truly inspiring
❤❤ thanks, Friend

You can most definitely live your best life after leaving the org. Best wishes to you!
@miriamdelaneyheard2234 Thank you so much and the best to you as well!
She’s an incredibly inspiring woman! What an amazing story of perseverance 👏👏
Many thanks!
Thank you for sharing your experience…inspiring and empowering indeed!!!🙌🏽💕💫⭐️

@@miriamdelaneyheard2234 Thank You! I love your story it reminded me of mine! Let me know if you have a public contact otherwise thank You again!
Such a beautiful story I wish you everyone can wake up like that
Thnak you! My wish is for all of us who wake up is that we get to live our very best, authentic life!

WOW I love your story🙂❤️
Thanks ❤
I don’t think I’ve enjoyed any ex JW ‘s story of leaving the Org. Thank you Miriam SO much explaining your journey. Blessings.
Thanks so much for reaching out. Best to you!
Amazing story!!!
Anywhere else independent thinking is a skill set. Wow so profound. This is coming from a male you are spot on with that organization. I’m so glad you found your way out of it. You found your freedom and your independence and your individuality not to mention your calling that would’ve never happened inside that organization
Spending my first 30 years in a high control religion makes me appreciate each day that I am free. All the best to you!
Great story for Women especially. JW put you in a small box even more so for women.
So happy to break free from that box. Thx!
Excellent guest
Thanks!
You tell an amazing real life experience, I’m so happy you finally realized your authentic life ! It’s so sad that family would rather have you live an unfulfilling life inside there cult rather than have you happy , even though you’re doing nothing wrong ! Thanks for your amazing story
Thanks for listening
Great story
Thank you
I’m getting the book!!!
Thanks so much!
Where can I get your book I would love to read it. ? You are so beautiful much love to you ❤
Thanks so much. Vevian has added links to my book and blog above.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
Hindsight hindsight, and very depressing what the organization did for potential careers, and how we had to live
True that. Happy to be free
You lose a lot but you gain so much more when you receive the gift of grace eternal life through Jesus Christ. It always saddens me when people leave that false religious organization and their testimony is about themselves in the organization and not about their salvation through Jesus Christ our Savior.

Miriam from the Roanoke Alabama it's Martha Harvey I'm hoping it's you if it is I've always loved you and offten think about you
Great to hear from you. Thanks for reaching out, Martha!
JW are changing .....no more preaching time, no date or idea when Armaggedon coming and not be so judgmental against Ex JW and DF ones. New light this month I heard
Interesting that there was so much scriptural precedent for careful accounting of field service time. Until there wasn't 😊
interesting so the kingdom halls were segregated
Very. Witnesses just followed where Jim Crow laws led them.
