If you've ever left the Watchtower organization and thought you were all alone. You'll discover these three guys story one of triumph. Not only did they reunite and rekindle their friendships, but they have a lot of good advice to share that can help anyone leaving, to pick up the pieces and have a different outlook on life.
The article referenced in the video on disfellowshipping is January 8, 1947 Awake!

@@johnfulton8112 This orgazation has constantly changed its teachings for decades, that is why none of the older publications are on the JW website they have all been deleted i wonder why... Plus the governing body claimed for several decades they were Gods mouthpiece and changed it saying they are not. So how were they "Gods" mouthpiece when they was never inspired....The blood transfusion teaching changed so many times costing many JW's to die from not getting any life saving blood transfusions!! The orgazation has had so many failed end dates its just laughable in 2020! research 1925 Beth-Sarim mansion for starters.. Also the organization hides child sex abuse! None are ever reported to the police that is why there has been so many million dollar lawsuits including pending ones at the moment!!! The baptism questions also changed..(holy spirit) was removed and replaced with organization... When getting baptized we are supposed to get baptized in the name of the father, son, and (holy spirit).. Not an organization!!!!! The orgazation secretly joined the united nations for 10years while telling all its members to remain politically neutral when word got out of it in a local newspaper of the hypocrisy the organization quickly left the United nations!!! I could go on and on because there is so much more hidden DIRT& LIES & HYPOCRISY.... But this is nothing but a high control doomsday CULT!!!!! This scripture is about the organization many false end dates Deuteronomy( 18:22) and ( Acts 4:12) applies to your governing body leaders you obey. This is the day and age of information to be this ignorant in 2020 about your organization is insane!!! RED FLAGS should go up with your governing body telling all its members to only do research on their one biased and highly controlled website... Stop drinking the kool-aid!!

WJTM88 you’re not the last to learn this ain’t the truth. I’m white and it took me ages to learn too. Interesting reading your comments about black or African Americans in the org. I’m in Australia but went to Brooklyn Bethel in 1995. There were a lot of African Americans working there then possibly 40% of the workers. One in 8 GB is AA or black. Isn’t Jeh choosing black people to rule in the heavens with Jesus? Seems not. Weird. This is one reason I like this YT channel. Seeing WT from the perspective of the black Xs. It is so similar to what we experience here in Australia. We are all brain washed regardless of our country of residence or the amount of pigment in our skin and we are all better off now we are out whether we are high achievers or whether we have just plodded along in life. My only regret is that I didn’t wake up when I was younger. I was 50 when I left, 7 years ago. Even so it has been the best 7 years of my life.

We did not leave 'the truth'. We left what the org/jws told us was 'their truth'. Their truth is a lie. IMHO, if you can, I think it wise to start making friends before you fade/disassociate. If you are dating someone in the org and you start waking up, realize you may have to let go. It isn't worth spending the rest of your life in utter misery. Move on. You will find someone who loves you for who you truly are-yourself!

1 John 4:16 God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. See there is no instructions on how to love. It's you believing, and having faith in him, and the holy spirit, that itself will unite you both in a loving unbreakable, faithful, strong relationship. It's like meeting someone at first you dont them, but you have to let them into your life so you get to know them better that way you can build a strong unbreakable, relationship. The only difference with humans is we expect things to benefit us only with out sacrificing for others, and never are 100% loyal. God on other hand is loyal and never forsakes us he is with us till the end of our last breath. He loves us already he gave his only son to save us. It's us that need to draw close to him, and you do with faith, and prayer everyday. It's like working out to get results you need to keep working out everyday and follow discipline to see results. It's a spiritual work out it's an example.

You are absolutely right JT. People outside need to know. I was raised around JW'S. My mother studied. My uncle's wife was a JW. I looked at JW'S as really nice. I joined not knowing and arguing with my family and friends that is was not a cult. I was raised catholic and when I became a JW no one stopped talking to me in my family or otherwise. Learning people's own parents or siblings will never talk to them again is crazy and a cult. It is a cult.

I too was raised around JW. They were my next door neighbors. I lived in a two family flat and my mom rented our upstairs to one of our neighbors friends who was also a JW. I thought about becoming a JW because I thought they was more educated in the Bible than most Christendom people. I told my grandmother about this. She was a devout Pentecostal church member. She said O God! She knew that I was raised around the JW since being a baby. But I changed my mind super quickly of not becoming a JW because I saw how stupid my neighbors acted. None of them been to college. The children made poor choices in choosing husbands, I was touched by one of my neighbors sons, I seen some of them have anger issues and the grandkids are super buck wild and ratchet.They have many babies out of wedlock. The no college mentality is a repeated cycle among the family. Sad

While studying in 1990 I was encouraged by friends who were concerned I was joining a cult to read Thirty Years a Watchtower Slave by William J Schnell. The one studying the Bible with me at the time discouraged me saying it was "apostate" literature and God would not have been pleased with me. So I didn't. 27 years later I did after my slavery to the Watchtower came to an end. Oh how I wished I had gone to the library and gotten this book and read it!

My mother came into the “truth” when I was around 4 years old. I’m the eldest of her 5 children, so my siblings were born in the organization and know nothing different. I was born in 1958, so in 1962, JWs had racial undertones reflective of that era. I had an affinity for music and was allowed classical piano lessons. By age 12, I was “privileged” to lead the congregation in song for every meeting, with piano accompaniment. I also played at the circuit assemblies until age 23 when I was disfellowshipped for conduct unbecoming a Christian. Although I graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA, 3rd in my class of 1977; my mother discouraged all secular education. My white JWs peers were encouraged to pursue college, however most JWs of color were not. I wanted to major in computer information science which was the trend at that time and even predicted the organization would transition their printing presses to a computerized operation. And they have. Needless to say, I felt lost at age 23; I was banned and shunned away from my entire world. I appealed the disfellowshipping which was a precedent! The judicial committee was stunned and had to seek help from the society. However they did have a circuit overseer decide that the decision stood. I told them I wouldn’t EVER return to their unjust and evil organization, and I have not. Most of you only know of the over-orchestrated recordings on vinyl or the cds. Piano players were no longer given that “privilege” to accompany the congregation after I was disfellowshipped as far as I know. I have done my own research into JWs and learned of the masonic dogma and rituals, misinterpreted scripture, racism, protection of child abuse and other mandated reportable abuses, amassed real estate fortune, without any outreach to its dedicated publishers who’ve donated their entire lives and the lives of their children unto JW dot org. (Spelled out as to NOT create a link.) My mother and two siblings are still in the organization. Over the years I’ve tried to question them in a way that might provoke questioning the organization themselves. It’s very difficult to say the least, and the conditioning is so complete that any questioning of any kind as to the organization is a sin. Every exJW sharing their personal story is apostate. I totally appreciate the experiences shared here. Anyone reading this please know you will be just fine. Keep faith in Our Father rather than organized religion of men. Man is not the giver of Life; Only our Father. ✨🙏🏾✨

Toni, thanks for sharing. I had the same experience, They made the decision to disfellowship me and I appealed the decision. They realized that they should have made a different decision before they made a public announcement. Would you know they still went along with the decision. I felt like Jehovah didn’t want me. Unless they hear Jehovah’s voice over the congregation loud speaker you will never get the decision overturned. 🤣. Lastly, they brief the appeal committee before they meet you. In the end it’s 6 against one. There are a gang of bullies. In the world they would be punched in the mouth 🤛🏾. They are only important in their own minds. A bunch of broke fools.

I am white was disfellowshiped too. 6 against 1...17 yrs old. Left home; never went back. I wouldn't change my life or my journey, because I have a personal relationship with God who will never leave me or forsake me.. As I was becoming of age, I was encouraged to be a missionary and not to go to college. The reason for this post is because in the 70s in ATL, I was about 10 at the time,, we were taught brotherly love whites and blacks in harmony in our congregation...no racism right? Well my babysitter a white young adult and another brother who i adored both of them, fell in love and wanted to be married. The elders said NO. They eloped and moved to California. They were disfellowshiped. I started to see the injustices then. They are hypocrites and manipulative. Yes they do have Masinic influences I believe I read one of the founders was a Mason. Satan dosen't want us to have a personal relationship with God or to believe that Christ was sent as a sacrifice for our sins. I would like to encourage anyone seeking a relationship with God who is reading The New World Translation to please pick-up KJV or anyother because their Bible is written to mirror their narrative. I pray I have not offended anyone. God bless you all and please continue to speak your testimony for others to be delivered from this evil organization.

As a septuagenarian who spent many years in the org chasing an elusive dream, it brings me great joy when I see people waking up while they still have the energy and drive to make better lives for themselves. Instead of painting that time as all bad, they realize that they did get some marketable skills while in the org and are wisely using them. I know that I view things differently than most ex-jws. Maybe that is because I didn’t join expecting to find the love they claimed existed. I experienced no more love while in the org than I had experienced before I joined or am experiencing after I left. I became a jw because the god they presented was less evil than the evil one I grew up believing in-instead of burning countless people forever, he would just kill them and leave them dead forever. There were, however, many things I did not buy into. When I finally stopped deceiving myself about the bible, I was able to walk away from religion and am now enjoying my life on my own terms as a sentient being. Thank you for your part in my education.

When I went back after the 9 years away it only took 3 months of meetings and repentance to be reinstated. My mom died in September shunning me and my only sister. I cared for her the last ten days of her life. My dad is 78 and still continues to shun us after my Moms death. No real hope here, I have tried but now realize it’s time to let all this go and heal.

All the privileges pissed me off. I was born with depression (mom's side of the family), and was told to not see a psychiatrist when I was 17, and then married to second JW who refused to let me get treatment for it. I tried to regular pioneer but couldn't. I was blamed by my ex for 2 decades. I have had other sisters diss me because I wasn't in their league of privileges. It made me sick hearing idiots on the platform at assemblies giving their stupidly lame experiences. It made me angry. I had put up with so much more than those morons. I was ignored by an elder after coming home from China, because he didn't like my husband. Well, I didn't like my husband either! And that elder by the way, killed himself by going into the bush, covering himself with gasoline and lighting it. He died of course. I feel that God has helped me through all of those trials. But hell, the organization is Satanic. Some brothers were kind and loving but on the whole, they are out for themselves with privileges, their fancy dancy homes, their high paying jobs, etc. while we minions are poor, uneducated etc. I got baptized for God, not the organization. They are bastards at the top.

You show how to love Jesus by believing in Him & recieving Him into your heart, by faith that He died for our sins & rose from death & that you want to have a relationship with Him through that faith & belief in your heart. It starts with you asking Him with a sincere need for Him. Seek Him with your whole heart. He stands knocking. Read the Bible, not the New World Translation & put the WT magazines/publications in the trash.

This was awesome. To the "victim mentality" part, I think that while it is important to move on, it is equally important to not move prematurely. Success is subjective. So in some cases, money and college isn't the issue. You have to remember that ppl are literally facing their mortality, some closer than others. So take time to, instead of trying to close your eyes and forget your past, embrace it. It is a part of you. Make sure you fully understand why you were involved, how the mind works, and how you can use that experience to become a better human being overall. That is how you truly heal, with knowledge and understanding. Once you have that, everything else falls into place.

I think this whole conversation is so awesome. I am a 62 year woman that is married to a wonderful man of 35 year's. My husband's family is die hard witness , he was born into it. I have always been a very strong headed person even as a child. My parents were die hard Catholics , my family was from the south, Texas & New Orleans , my aunt's& uncle's and cousins were Catholics & Baptist folk's. So when I married my husband 35 year's ago the first thing they wanted to do was convert me. I studied the Bible with witnesses & had Bible studies for years for me that was to please my husband. I would get so irritated with the whole situation ,for me I think the hardest thing was subjecting my children to this way of thinking. Finally as my children got older I just said I can't take this way of living , just told the witnesses I could not study any more . I was really sick of them and that was not healthy for me.My husband and I had so many conversations about religion ,and I did not try to change his or covert him I just told him to use his good common sense about everything. And pray on everything, because our God would never mislead us. I have so many stories to tell about studying with the witnesses. I just got sick of the foolishness. I know God got my back. I don't need a middle man to talk to my father for me . I have a great relationship with our God. I just know one thing God is good all the time. And I have a great relationship with our Father. I see some of the witneses I use to study with and it's all good. I will never be a slave to religion ever again. I see the falseness in religion a mile away. I say, use the gift that God gave you. We all have a gift, that God gave us. Some of us spend our whole trying to find that gift. Just pray on it and let our Father lead you.

He makes very snide remarks regarding spouses of witnesses who are supportive but never convert or believe JW doctrines. It has been a great stressor on me.

Thank you for the video! I was disfellowshipped in 2014 after spending my entire 18 years of life as a witness.(I was baptized around twelve y/o, pioneered.) It's so scary how true y'alls words are. 'Being good at school, but not too good.' Feeling superior because we had "the Truth". It was hard to unlearn and rewire my brain; how to truly manifest Love. It's hard to realize how insidious a set up they've made with disfellowshipping. But I'm fortune to have grown up in a divided household (a phrase no witness will utter lol) and my father supported me finding myself. It's very possible to have a life of contentment separate from the witness (the majority of humans have done so for a long while now, and will continue to do so). I will say it's hard not to see oneself as a victim since we are, in a way. I think it''s okay to admit the organization preys on certain types of ppl and exploits their fears under a facade of Love. But, over time 'victimhood' not my only metal of valor earned by traversing this life business. Beside earning my "I survived a Cult" badge, I've learned I'm strong. I can meet new ppl, form lasting connections; I can even survive having my entire world ripped from under my feet. And it's nice to know that so can you. Send much love! Please be safe, y'all.

When my daughter (also bright) enrolled in nursing school the elders came aknocking on our door persuading her to disenroll & apply for a job in Costco because the end was around the corner 😳 that was 9 years ago ! Loved the other fine young men, their experiences & what they have made out of themselves.

I've been out of it since the early eighties; yes it was hard for a while as I was knocking on doors at 5 yrs old. But it is laughable, yet sad. As for me and my household, we will serve tacos. (Margaritas 24:7). ❤️

It's true that sometimes when you leave and link up with and old friend later on down the line that has also left also it's not the same. Speaking from experience your thought process is different and apart from experiences you might have had together you really don't have much in common!

You are correct a good portion of the ppl I knew as Witnesses had left but not many were really in a position to pick back up where we left off friendship wise. The most you can do for them is check in whenever you can and tell them you are proud of them.

Its instilled lingering fear, and suspicion. Its hard to trust and you or they may have family and friends still in and that still have a relationship with them. They can't chance a slip up that may jeopardize the small connection allowed by particular members. Sad, but happens.

Seems being in your twenties and having some time to reflect leads many to use their common sense. When my husband was disfellowshipped for adultery and I received no assistance for the elders (even though I had gone to them for spiritual help), my eyes were opened. My “worldly” friends at work came to my aid, offering me assistance and help. Didn’t take long to realize JW’s were not what they touted all the years I was growing up. Left when I was 27 and never looked back. My parents never shunned me, only one of my brothers stayed in chose to shun, even though I was never dfw’d. Now two of my brothers and I are out, and still being shunned by the JW brother 35 years later.

I want to leave, but don't want to lose that relationship with my parents/aunt. I feel like my mother would still communicate with me, but I just don't want to take that chance right now. I have found out so many things that aren't right and how I was treated by other Sisters (jealousy).

You are now the parent. You must leave and take a stand for Jesus. Do you know who hovah is? The crafty con putting Je before its name like Je-sus. This demon is the con of the century. He she played us all, but it's over now. End it, and show Jesus you believe in Him and meditate on John 14:14. I left my Mom, my Aunt and my niece. They all know I shun the demon hovah like all the demons were shunned from heaven because they deserved it for their acts of apostasy.

I was a born in and when I left, I didn't miss anyone. Not the conditional friends. Not relatives. No one. Not the meetings, not the field service, nothing. Now, that it's been a lot of years, I think I have been forgotten about. Which is the way it should be. I have lived my own life, my own way. The jehovah witnesses are just someone I used to know. Maybe, it's just a time thing. Maybe you just need to put them behind you. Even if it means your parents and family members. You adjust, regroup, evolve, I ching, Darwin.

Excellent panel. I still can't comprehend how we all fell for the WT bulls4it. I hope the gb disappears with all the money. Or gets thrown in jail. Some jdumbs will never wake up. The WT appeals to very selfish desires. They make you think YOU'RE so damn special because YOU believed the WT BS. WT - the love is fake but the hate is real. These young men are all well adjusted and are going to be just fine. They got out at about the same age I got in! Wish I had a damn time machine.

As I listen to many jw,'s talk about leaving, fading, and the fear of the struggle is so so sad and a little sinister. God, never intended for man to ever rule over man. Vengeance is mine said the Lord. It is unbelievable how people allow eight little/small men not only rule over their house hold yet, alone pretend the son, daughter, mother, father, etc ever existed is mind boggling to me. Jesus, taught family and love is to be the defining quality of a Christian. I am at a loss of words. I will continue to pray for all hearts and minds to be opened to accept God, as ruler rather than man.

So glad to see your new video. I loved it and I loved the diversity. Too often in the EXJW narrative we don’t hear enough of the diverse ethnicities and members that exist in the organization and the fact that we make up such a huge portion is another reason why it is so important. On another note, Lady Tee and JT are hope you are doing well and staying economically sound during this time. We don’t know one another, but if you ever need anything please let me know.

steve benoit The art and music matches the dreadful faith. The art reminds me of Soviet realism. It has a defined cultic style. I had a major issue of abuse with the songs. My father pinched me in full view. They yanked melodies by Beethoven, Handel, and Bach. The idiot praising it said Bash and Beet as in the root vegetable. I so longed to be literate with classical music. But even people who hated classical music knew how to pronounce the names. My God, ignorance was so worshiped. Hated them. The images were effective in building terror and fear

I've lived in the Caribbean, mainland China and visited many places around the world. I knew of a pimp that was DF'd in St. Maarten, and an alcoholic wife of Antigua branch in the 1970s. I had a terribly abusive husband that forced us to go to French Quebec for 7 years and then to mainland China for 3 years. ETc. etc.
