What a fantastic story. Can't believe how heartless this religion can be but why am I always so shocked I love these stories , such a gift. Thank you so much.
In 1977 aged 16 ,I actually got caught for pinching a pair of thongs ,my agnostic atheist family never shunned me. In 1988 aged 27 Watchtower hijacked my mind, I dissociated in 2018 aged 57 now I get shunned by all my wife's JW friends in the Kingdom Hall car park. Nicole my beautiful pimi jw wife can't drive so I give her lifts to all the meetings and field service groups. Justin Porter ex jw ❤️
I'm sorry you have to live like this. It's so cruel! Says a lot about the kind of person you are, that you still take your wife to the meetings. Hopefully, she will wake up soon, and you can have the beautiful life you deserve together.
They manipulate people with many ways! Your wife is trapped by their hypocritical so called Christian love! You are kind person for respecting her choice, until she opened her spiritual eyes!
@@evaarnold5838 Eva, I would not say nothing to show because you are here now. If they were unhappy in their endeavors, then that makes it terrible. My mother recently passed away a true blue Jehoovian and many time she and her brethren would say they want to live to see Armageddon. My parents were involved in building kingdom halls which were handed over to the organization with no compensation. In some cases people built their kingdom halls with money they had collected locally and now have to drive elsewhere for their meetings. It just shows to go ya how powerful the mind control is that people are still believing in the organization.
Thank you ladies. Eva, well done for setting you and your sons free from the cult. It's sad how the family were so indoctrinated with the bizarre doctrines that they had to behave in unloving manner. Thanks for sharing your beautiful story
For being the earth-version of Jesus, they can’t seem to get it right. I’d love to know where in the Gospel the Good Shepherd told his followers that they asked too many questions. Before going to the cross, did he instruct his disciples to make sure his sheep don’t ask too many questions? 🤔
This is so similar to our families experience with this organisation. My wife woke up afer our son was disfellowshiped and left. Thank you for sharing Eve and thank you Vivian for another outstanding interview.
Love how Witnesses describe themselves as 5th generation and then fumble through all kinds of mental gymnastics to explain “overlapping generations”. 😂
We as JWs do not know the Bible, we know the Watchtower literature! Thank you so much for your time Eva to share your experience and Vevian! Greetings to all!!
It’s just crazy how family is treated under these circumstances….so inconsiderate and unkind and yet this religion is apparently known for their love…..right!!!!
@@evaarnold5838 No worries if you don’t remember exactly. I never understood how a 13 year old could get baptized but they legally can’t work, drive, vote or drink alcohol. I heard one story of an ex JW and she was only 8 years old when she got baptized! 😮
Elders and compared to the Gestapo. Who the heck are they ?? What is this Bible quotation that says, " love and understanding, because God is love." God said."Come, let's reason together"
Covin / pandemic was a blessing it gave the JW’s breathing room to RELAX from the Mundane routine of KH meetings and Field service …Many Rank and File members ZOOM right outta the WT organization…LOL 🤣🤣🤣
Eva, Yes, it is like being racist, or being forced to be blind Not being allowed to love people for their good qualities, instead distancing from them, because the religion demands it. On the other hand, you not wanting to be friends with people who have no friends proves you are not of God and do not know him
I totally apologize for the confusion, I realized my error when I replayed the interview 🤦🏼♀️ Actually 2 errors…It was in the 1930’s and it was Rutherford. Was not intentional, at all!
You won't GET DF for that miss take we all love what you are doing, keep up the good work Eva's story a bit like ours, all the best to everyone Chow Now lol *****...
Thanks for your story, seeing how your son was treated reminds me of how i was treated as a fatherless boy. The elders do not appreciate free thinking. They are very oppresive and they never stop picking on you. Even now, my little brother has extrmely sensitive skin and cannot shave daily and they are so harsh on him. Nothing has changed and I'm tired of this life
5:08 we used to say "Your worst enemy in the truth (organisation) is better than your best friend in the world" an awful concept for those abused internally
Thanks for sharing your story Eva. Awesome interview Vivian… my heart dropped when you talked about how your family walked out and didn’t ask you to join them for dinner etc….That’s conditional love at its finest…❤
THE BIBLE teaches that Jesus was MADE As Lord and Christ and as Son (ACTS 2:36, Prov 8, HEB 1:5), CREATED/PRODUCED/INSTALLED (Prov 8) , COME INTO BEING/MADE (Mat 21:42 - egeneto) and GIVEN LIFE by the Father - John 5:26 and it uses TODAY (Heb 1:5), and uses future tenses and is a prophecy in Isa 9:6 (Isa 9:6, - WILL BE) . If you are called MADE AND CREATED AND GIVEN LIFE, and NEVER CALLED in the BIBLE as Creator or Maker , then you are A CREATION. ALL FROM THE BIBLE From the Lord was this (this is referring to the chief cornerstone who is Jesus) , the word WAS is egeneto (made or came into being) - Matthew 21:42 and the exact Greek word used in John 1:3 - MADE, egeneto (came into being) - JESUS WAS MADE/CAME INTO BEING FROM THE FATHER , yes, Jesus was MADE/CREATED!, See also Acts 2:36, Heb 1:5, 1 john 5
@@mr.d.c.1914.1 I agree their all spirits....your missing the point! Jesus and the angels are not equal! I suggest you reread the book of John closely!
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1: 1. RV. Jesus was made a man (incarnation), but he was eternally with God because He is of the same divine nature. Jesus is God and Man. 😊
