Just June here, I hope you enjoy Part 2 of my interview with my exJW son, Thomas. If you haven't seen Part 1 yet, you can find it here - • ExJW mom interviews Ex... Thanks again for watching! Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe.
It's wonderful that your family are all awake. I got chills when Thomas described his sister's response when he told her. I can only imagine how happy it made her that she could finally be open about it.
I really appreciated this. I feel like 1 of the biggest things that I missed out on, raised as a JW, is just being able to talk to my parents. It always felt like for any serious topic, you were just talking to a bible. It was so impersonal, and sterile. So I really related to your son saying his favorite person in the hall, was the one who offered personal advice, instead of just turning to the scriptures. Even when I was as deep in as I ever got, I never had the stomach for those people that would always recite bible verses at you. Like, I get you're in a cult, but turn it down a notch. Haha.
Watched both videos! I’m happy you and your son woke up and are discovering your real selves and not the indoctrinated version that we were conditioned to be! Keep it up
When I dissociated aged 57 in 2018 my best friend cried on the phone and came around to visit me with tears in he,s eyes begging me to give the truth a second chance. Another elder cried and sisters rang me up crying begging me not to leave. ,,You,ll come to your senses and return to Jehovah,, I,m now a born-again atheist and Nicole my beautiful pimi jw wife still loves me , she can't drive so I give her lifts to all the meetings and field service groups so I,m very lucky to still have a happy marriage. I really don't know if Nicole will ever wake up ,, I asked Nicole if she ever died how would I be treated at her funeral,, they,d be nice to you ,, does that mean they,ll shun me with tears in their eyes instead of daggers ,, ? It,s so good June you have your husband , son and daughter and I,m so lucky to still have my beautiful wife and since I've left Jehovah I've been having a devil of a time with Satan and loving it. Justin Porter ex jw ❤️
I am amazed how good people you are, how respectful you are after being abused for years with lies and restrictions of all sorts. I have deep respect for your testimonies and I thank you for being so honest. I have no doubt that this will help. I may add that being smart is far from being bad and I believe that God must be very proud of you both.
@@JustDeannaJune Dear June, I've tried your email address which did not work for some reason (??). However here is the link I wanted you to give to your son. Some panel discussion he might be interested in: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ms5WXYr3vuo.html
Another beautiful conversation. I see the love in your family. These conversations are powerful and will really help so many!! Thank you for sharing! 🥰
Glad you found your way out. I have listened to people who have left fundamentalist religions- Harmonic Atheist, Mormon Podcast, as well as scholars about the bible Bart Ehrman, Richard Carrier, Myth Vision. I studied with JWs, was seriously depressed. I do hold onto a belief. Maybe experiences as well as firmly believing in trusting In Jehovah and relying on him. That does create serious issues. Thanks for sharing. Interviews are like therapy. Cannot afford one plus I live in area where there is no help.
@@JustDeannaJune Keep us all guessing with your story June. Hehe only messing...do what you feel is right ✅. It will be enjoyed/help many either way. 😊 ❤🇬🇧 Thanks again.
That would have been great advice for a 15 year old me too Thomas. I appreciate you man. And you too June. This was very huge of the two of you to make these two videos, as a family. Makes me feel a bit better about reaching out to old friends still in the Org. Thank you both so much
I think this is the second video with your son. I saw the second, for the first time. I also made a comment. Thank you for doing this. JW is so wrong, it's crazy. But now your FREE. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄
Thank you for sharing your story. Thomas, just consider the spiritual aspect as to why you were subjected to this organization, there is a loving creator who wants a real loving relationship with you and there is His adversary who seeks to destroy our lives. The WT is controlled by one who is a deceiver and wants to keep you from believing the truth. I hope you’ll consider asking our creator to reveal Himself to you in truth and love and help you to be healed completely from what happened in the past. He can do that but He is a respectful one who will NOT force you to receive His love or anything. God bless your family and may He continue to keep you all close! I’m so glad you are all out and together!-Natalie
Hi Ya'll, Love your dad's option to play video games while His Wife is away! However, your sister's response was the best I've heard so far! I do love the way you looked into the camera Thomas in the first part. Also, I'm jealous that you all have each other "not in the truth"...
@@JustDeannaJune I definitely get your daughter's dry humor as I am very dry myself. In saying that I love your whole famillies sense of humors... Thank you all and I can't wait for the next interviews, (hurry up) lol
@@JustDeannaJune The timing of me seeing you wink emoji is well timely. Having feelings of uselessness concerning my living situation, but my eldest daughter has been shunning me for about a year now, it was her birthday yesterday the 14th. Its not even due to the religion, I guess they call it "ghosting" these days. FFS. My youngest daughter and I had a couple of years of absence during her teenage years which we've been repairing and now my eldest, ghosting me. I literally feel my heart being crushed with hurt, ripped out and then stomped on. F a r k. Anyways like I first mentioned, your emoji and kind words have helped, thank you June. Me, the useless mum two for two... lol
@@JustDeannaJune Hanging by threads! I'm glad you've kept talking with me it means a lot to me. I just want to scream in her face, insist on her showing me some dang respect, (which I bloody taught her)! Why do I allow my daughter to be so bitchy? I have definitely stopped putting up with such behaviour from my adult friends that are ex's! Thank you for your compassion and hugs.
Thanks again June and Thomas for sharing, it brings back memories when I was young at 15 when I started studying with the JW'S and faded at 25. I had great friends but unfortunately after I left they never contacted me, of course back then we didn't have cell phones yet but I had a home phone. Lol 😁 All the Best to you guys.🙏
I like and subscribe to every EXJW video, hopefully to help set others free. Don’t worry about your pagan tree. You aren’t worshipping it. It’s a tradition in this country. God does not tell us we have to give up our traditions. I was never a JW, but studied with them long enough to cause problems in my family, with my children, my marriage, and make me scared of demons! Then one night I asked Jehovah in advance to forgive me if it was wrong, but I was gonna talk to his son, to thank him for what he did for me, for mankind. And wow, it was like Jesus had been waiting for me, and came out to meet me. Almost immediately I noticed a difference, seeing the 5 years of study as so much emptiness.
I play Guitar as well.. I remember having to save and sneak it into the house because guitar=rock=devil... Also find it hard to make new friends... If Thomas wants a new friend let me know. He sounds a lot like me ..
Thank you, and I couldn't agree more! We are buddies, I was 20 when I got pregnant with him. So we sorta grew up together... We figured out life together! And we support each other unconditionally! Thank you for commenting, all words of encouragement mean a lot to us as a family! ☺️🩷
Life is too short to give your power to someone else. I’m glad you all got out from that organization and are free to live your life as you see fit. Don’t blame God for the failings of man. God is the same yesterday, today and forever. Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling.
Maybe one day we can connect have our own circuit assembly of ex-jw’s ?🤷🏾♀️ it has to be at fun place though nooooo buildings….. I’m thinking cruise or a island 🏝️ 🤣🤣
Love the interview. I’m surprised that your whole family is out and that’s great. Also, there’s really nothing wrong about Christmas. Back then that word pagan is made by these so called Christian’s it was more judgmental and full of ignorance back then.
@@JustDeannaJune yes that really sucks that other family members don’t wake up. It’s like u said, they are not bad people, just bad high control people that. For me it was full of restrictions and it almost felt like a prison. I didn’t fully wake up until last year just by watching Jexit on RU-vid. I remember my MS told me not to watch any apostate videos. But this video keeps popping up on my wall. I was thinking what’s the harm in just watching a video that explains why they left the religion. So from there on I just watch almost every ExJW videos and all of them have the same problems that I experience.
As one of the first bad feelings "Questionning God's love"... (I'm not sure I really understood your son's answer) but that rang a bell - I actually had my own God in mind to sustain the big J and he fell more like Jesus Christ (way more coherent, not scary). I realized that lots of ex JW became athéists if not agnostic... I went through both for a while then it was just obvious to me that the real issus was ALL RELIGIONS (they mess people's mind, and get too much in people's business not forgetting all the non sense. I now believe in God as scientifically as God can be (ENERGY and CONCIOUSNESS - to make it short)... And as your son put it in his own words like The Word/consciousness (the truth is freeing) and for most JW (that are heavely endoctrinated) it can only be by facing their fear to face their doubts about the organization and even the scriptures honnestly, to get rid of the cognitive dissonance) and like you said BE THEMSELF! ... thanks for sharing!
So many leave the cult and end up being nonbelievers in the Bible. Just get a King James Edition ( not the new ones) just read what Jesus says, it is in red. You will see it in a whole different way. The cult does not hardly mention Jesus. Also, Jason Zelda (bible teacher) look at his videos of your choice, then decide
I can see the Love in your family… sadly it’s not in my family as a Born in JW this Wt Organization used its Policies/ False Doctrines (Shunning) and it tore apart my family …today I have no relationship with my JW sibling’s because I Disassociate was not D’fd or Reproved…it’s Black and White you either In or Out and that’s the truth !!!🙁
