We receive emails from people worldwide asking us if they should tell their family and friends the truth about the Jehovah's Witness religion. After waking up to startling facts about the organization, they, like many Jehovah's Witnesses, are shocked about their findings.
Many times, people forget about what it was like being one of Jehovah's Witnesses and how they will respond to anything we say negative about the Watchtower Society. Some have gone out on a limb and shared the information they learned online and have experienced a complete shutdown, and were swiftly cut off from their family and friends. They have not counted the cost of their relationship before speaking up and speaking out.
As minor children still living at home, you must realize that you need financial support from your parents and guardians. Others may be working for a brother or sister in the congregation and need your job to pay your bills. What if you rent a room or an apartment and now have to think about other living accommodations? Your security and well-being are more important than imparting knowledge. Be sure to take care of your well-being before speaking out against the religion.
Think about the consequences of your actions before divulging too much information about this religion to family and friends. Put the oxygen mask on your face before attempting to help others. You need to ensure you have reached a safe place, and then you can reach back to extend yourself to others.

My ex-wife chose the org over me. It's a very real thing. The elders supported her 100% because I was "no longer her spiritual head". Wait a second. I thought "What God sowed together let no man pull apart!"

My mother who is a witness said that shunning is a form of punishment for doubting and leaving the organization. I told her that its not up to man to judge or punish someone's actions...that is between that person and God not the organization. When I had to make that decision to cut my family off, I was ready but I didn't go without a fight defending what I believe is wrong with the organization. Me and my mom didn't talk for a year. I never felt so free and happy because I felt trapped and bullied into coming back. For those that are trying to make that decision to hang in there and prepare to lose that friend or loved one when you begin to live YOUR TRUTH.

You are so correct in your statement, I've been out for over 20 years and as the years go by I see how cold-blooded they are. They have no resemblance to what Jesus Christ taught or exemplified. I believe the reason why they want you to suffer is that it solidifies their delusional beliefs, it helps them to continue in the organization if they see someone "fail".

Superb advice. I have slowly worked on 3 of my adult children, and got them to reason, over many years. Now all 3 are out. Them reading Crisis of Conscience was the final clincher. I have 2 other family members, an elder and his wife. I gently make comments to try to get their brains working, but it's hard. Slowly and gently is best way, and back off if they get distressed. They are victims of this cult, same as we used to be.

I want to truly thank for your activism. I'm literally living this situation now. I'm 40 yrs old, although I was disfellowshipped 3.5 yrs ago, I fully woke up last yr & stopped attending meetings. During these 3 yrs I have lived with my mom, payed rent, respect the rules & contributed to the household. Last month I told my mom that I have reasoned, & although a painful decision, I know longer believe this is "God's" organization. It was an intense conversation. Ultimately, she asked me to leave. I was shocked & hurt & I worried about the care of my mother. But I understand where her heads at. I was there too. I will continue to be a good daughter & be respectful. Like you said there is some costs, but I believe the payoff is greater. Cheers to all who have had the courage & resilience to face the actual TRUTH 💜💜💜

Do not count on anything back from a PIMI JW.... Gone are the days of good morals, a conscience, love for children. My mom was a PIMI until she died. My dad was never a JW. Us 3 apostates helped save my mom & dad's house from being "shut down" because of rats, mosquitoes & hoarding. We worked nearly every weekend, almost 2 years, the moment my dad died, my JW mom changed their will, made a trust disinheriting my sister, me & mine. I could not believe the cold heartedness. Ice.

I was thrown out of my apartment by my roommate because the elders told him so. I was forced to find a room in a bad neighborhood. Lost all my friends and fam. Literally forced to start over. It was hard. Parents told me I wouldn’t survive. 20 years later I’m here and stronger than ever.

The scriptures that JW apply for shunning are not correct. If someone has left the faith you are supposed to desist talking about religious matters not totally cut someone off dead. Muslims have a specific greeting for other Muslims, however they still greet you as a non Muslim. That is what is being talked about when the Bible says not to greet a man (who has left the faith). That is what scripturally should occur. But if that was the case the numbers would fall greatly!

I didn’t want to get calls about “you need to turn to Jehovah, blah blah 😑 “ when I was a witness and I approached the elders because I felt I needed encouragement, I was told I need to preach more. 😩🙄. Being an introvert helped too.

One thing I have realised when you take your power back jw family and friends treat you differently. I dissociated and my family shunned me. While it hurt, I wrote them a group text and then I cut them off. They have power and so do I, I am too old to play those games or be emotionally manipulated. Everyone circumstances are different but I would like to tell exjws, don't play silly games with people who don't want to speak with you or respect you as an adult. Let them go and wish them the very best.

Thank You, JT and Lady 'C' for another informative well thought out video. I really appreciated the point (...mild trigger ...shudder) JT made about not owing to an explanation or not having to tell everything to anyone. The choices being made here are very personal and not open to scrutiny if you choose them not to be. It's so true that everyone's situation is different and some are really in Dire Straights facing the loss of family loved ones and even Marriage mates. The Cult may hold the hammer, to begin with but when you are ready and have done your research there will be no stopping in doing what is best for you and that is to get out!!

I am in this situation now. My wife and children know I don't believe but they expect me to just keep up the pretense anyway. I have a disassociation letter written but I leave it on the computer. There will be a lot of problems for me if I did that. Not with my side of the family but with my wife and kids and my brother in law and his family. It sucks because I faded and was gone for 5 years. Because my kids wanted to start come back and my wife didn't want to go by herself with the kids. So I had to take them, then she would stay home. I really don't know where she stands because she won't be honest with me. It does become hard.

Remember all the good you have done up to this point without watchtower, they will never mention the positive and success stories of those who walk away.

I was baptised when i was 11, but by age 16, I was already disillusioned after noticing discrepancies and several changes on what was supposed to be established doctrine. When i tried to tell my mother, she took me to the oldest and most respected elder in our congregation. After telling him what i uncovered, i could see in his face that he knew and agreed. This elder didnt read scriptures or literature in an effort to change my mind. He just looked at me and then my mother and with a look of fear, told my mother to see if his wife was out back (getting her out of earshot). He then told me that i am to disagree with anything or anyone that says anything contrary to Jehovah's teaching, but i pressed on and said 'but whats being taught isnt true......his answer......'but you will SAY that it is.

As an elder, I was publicly reproved in 1987, not for immortality, but for a surmised kiss on the lips of another sister. The JW’s avoided me like the plague after having it read in the congregation. To this day, if a JW sees me in the grocery store or wherever, they will go down a different isle to avoid looking or saying hi to me. Keep in mind that I was never disfellowshipped. No remorse on my part, I’m thankful to be rid of that cult. I always remember when “cult” was discussed at the meetings. They strongly reminded us that JW’s are not a cult. Liars!

My only son was tragically killed in an accident over 4 years ago. I have been “inactive” for many years because of doctrinal doubt/disbelief. A “sister” e-mailed me to offer encouragement. Which was nice, until she went on to tell me that her son was disfellowshipped and was the equivalent as being dead to her. I still cannot believe the ridiculous nature of her statement. I never responded back to her.

What logical sense does it make, to "spirit direct" the " brothers" to print information in dozens and dozens and hell, even hundreds or pieces of literature, give outlines to talks that will be given all of the world for DECADES and then simply, one day you go to the KH and get your literature (or however they are dispensing the literature to witnesses nowadays) and BOOM! a core doctrine, or a core component of a core doctrine has completely changed and in MANY, MANY, MANY MANY cases has done a total and complete 180 degree turn in the opposite direction. Well if the "new light" jehovah "directed " the brothers to print, make videos, talks, literature ect ect was wrong and needed "updating" then couldn jehovah just give you the correct information the first damn time?!! I know i cant be the only one who sees the absurdity of this doctrine I mean, its LITERALLY a get out of jail free card, whenever something becomes inconvenient or outdated aka, (this generation teaching for example) you can just go on over to the creative writing department of the watchtower and bam!

You have to watch how you move and leave it...Some dont give a Damn and the leave and let the world know and let the Chips fall where they may... Some simply cant move in that matter...Every situation is different...at the end ..be wise and be strategic on how you intend to leave the Org...to minimize the damage....Also P.S. if any Jw threatens to fire you or kick you out of your home that your renting out from them because they state they feel funny doing business with you because your no longer a JW ...please oh please threaten them right back with Taking their Ass to court if they think about doing so (thats highly illegal)... and document everything.
