🕊️ I talked with Jonathan a few weeks back, and wow what a story. It's encouraging and amazing, wish I'd been more talkative but was a bit sick when filming this. There is talk about drugs and drug use, so fair warning. Also I do not endorse any mind altering drug or substance whether legal or illegal.

Ex-JWs can understand. Stop judging lest you be judged? The Holy Spirit goes where it wants and no one has exclusivity.

What he said near the end is completely true. When ex JWs come out of the cult, they will still hold onto those indoctrinated tenets, even though they were treated so poorly by the JWs. I had an employee that came out of the the JWs, after going thru disfellowshipping, reinstating, fading, and then just dissasociation. He became a real Christian from us witnessing to him about the Truth of Jesus, but it took him a long time to let go of all that indoctrination of lies. To this day, he has trouble attending a church, but he'll go now and then. I liken it to the steel balls on strings on desks. When you pull the one ball one way, and then release it, you get an almost equal reaction the other way, and it takes a while to get to the middle where the calmess takes over, and you get centered in Christ.

May I ask how you witnessed to him? What scriptures you shared? Was there someone specifically that got his attention or was it a bunch of things? If you choose to reply, I appreciate your time in answering

@@pearlytiger564 If your looking for a silver bullet scripture, you won't find it. What brougth him out was that we had a relationship built with him as his employer. We never demeaned him, but did question his loyalty to the JWs, even though he had gone thru hell with them. What really helped was that we would jsut plant seeds with him when the Spirit would prompt me. I never pointed a finger. But what really drove it home was how WE lived our lives as Christians. We didn't cheat on our employees, we shared the welath as it came to us. We treated our employees like family, and I think he saw that, and thirsted for it. We treated him equally wiht the other guys, even though we didn't agree with his theology. His life was in shambles, and I really do believe he was sent to us by the Holy Spirit for that express reason. One of hi testimonies after he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ, was that he was able to see the change in himself. He said he still had the SAME crap happening in his life, mostly due to his falied marriage to another JW, whcih was really the entire problem to begin with. She was filing for child support, even though he had custody of their kid. His license was still being suspended every 6 months because even though He was free and clear, nobody at Child Services could remove his name properly from the system. But what was fascinations was that he said, "Nothing has changed with my circumstances, but the way I handle it all now is different." He is still growing today, and has his pitfalls now and then, but he belongs to the Lord. I think he finally got rid of all that JW baggage. In short, you have to build a relationship with the JW. When they see HOW you live your life, it goes against what the WT says we do. My own Mother in Law told me that she KNEW I was going to be okay. That's pretty huge when the wife of a high up elder says something like this to a "worldly guy" married to her JW daughter. But that's another story. Speak the Word, be instant in season and out of season. Sometiems you need to just be quiet,a nd sometimes you drive it home. The fact we never give u p says a lot to JWs that struggle with the organization's shunning policy. Just keep loving them and praying for them.

Thanks for sharing. Your long road had many lessons for you. I am so glad you bumped into the Spirit on your journey. What I find truly horrifying is when a down and out indoctrinated POMI gives up seeking Christ, or they feel like they dont deserve help or forgiveness. And this is because when they look at a Bible they feel wt not Christ. Happy for you. From an exborn in who has seen up close and personal the damage that this cult has caused.

I pray for him too but the Truth sets you free? All I saw there were rambling excuses with no real dependence. Just someone wanting unquestioned acceptance by rabid JW haters. His testimony will only reinforce the poor JWs who will see through his facade and reason they must be right. This channel shuts the door to truth seekers searching for the Christ.

False teaching such as the Trinity, nowhere to be found in scripture or the reassuring lies promoting Gays are accepted by the Christ are misleading lies and false assurances which will be devastating realities for Anyone putting trust in them in the future!

Very interesting comments around the 1:12:55 mark. lds are the same, they often go back if they've been away to sin because they believe it's the true church of Christ, unless they delve into the history, from unapproved sources, including primary source documents which are now available on the internet, and learn that Brigham Young changed things 180°, including introducing polygamy, blaming it on Joseph so the people would accept it as a "doctrine". If they learn the true history, as i did 18 months ago, there's no going back! Truth will set you free❤ praise God!!

Sniffling pretty much? You still on something? I am no longer a JW but you better take another look at the pagan doctrines of the Trinity. I feel bad for you dude but you're still playing the devil's game.
