When you enter hell that will fix your thinking! Psalms 37:20 For the wicked themselves will perish, And the enemies of Jehovah will be like the preciousness of pastures; They must come to their end. In smoke they must come to their end.

You probably got disfellowshiped. That’s why you’re putting down Jehovah Witness name . Why do what to even spread false say about Jehovah Don’t be like all the other apostates and peddlers of Jehovahs word . You know you will be judged by your actions and as and individual so take heed on what you say and do sir

i would have helped... You remember Revelations 18:4-Get out of her....JW are part of Babylon the Great.I know another person who was a refugee.I helped them and wow,did they have mood swings...i do not regret helping them. The slimy Australian govt shipped them to another country.They seem happy.I am 61 years old,so no problems...My brother hanged himself...dead..Be strong..Father and Yeshua are real...WT even started on lies...Acts 1:6-8 show that.Times and seasons belong to Father...I told elders I would not meet with elders because I did not want their demons in my home.I said I would meet the whole e group in a park..I got no answer... I still read Bible,believe but not their demonic garbage. I am from Sydney...May all go well for you.

I wanted to continue. Since I faded my two sisters still speak to me, but they still invite me to special talks and other things. I will never go back. How I faded is when my mother changed congregation and just did not go to the new congregation. That way no one was looking for me. I wanted to leave even before than and this gave me the opportunity to do so. I am so glad for you and your family. I faded over 35 years ago. I am 59 now. I started viewing these exjw videos on youtube about 8 months ago. I have learned about all of this information concerning this organization and the many changes taking place. Growing up in the religion I always had doubts.

Cam you’ve done a great job - putting your heart and soul out for us all. Thank you for your honesty. I hear what you have said about “healing”. It is a vital thing for many of us. I left 30 plus years ago and only recently I realised how impacted I was by my 50 plus time in the organisation, being brainwashed. I look forward to hearing how your book develops. Sending blessings and heartfelt appreciation for what you have and continue to achieve in your life.

I’m sitting here at 5 AM in the morning before work gripped by your story. I was disfellowshipped in 2018 and I tried to come back a few times because of missing my family and community as well and 2020 saved my life. After all the meetings stopped due to Covid, I started investigating, and I thought I would be struck by lightning, but completely had a panic attack finding out about all the pedophilia and how it is worse than we could ever now. Then I found out about my very own congregation and I decided against coming back. It was the best decision of my life And I agree, I feel like one of the lucky ones. I lead a quiet life with a small circle of good friends. I used to miss my family and friends a lot but your brain rewires. Living a double life is something I never wanted to do and so I chose myself. I was the pioneer and the poster child for a Jehovah’s Witness as well but looking back it all sounds so strange to me and I can see how keeping Jehovah’s Witnesses so busy prevent them from waking up. My family is very small right now, so the loss is not that bad but my life has never felt this great. I’m no longer in fear of anything, no doom and gloom, I have lost the judgmental streak that I always had and it feels wonderful to make friends and not have to talk about what religion we are in and try to informal witness to everyone you meet. I used to think I was so lucky to have the truth out of all the people in the world, I was chosen, but now I feel the complete opposite. Thank you for your story. You have a new subscriber and I’m so happy that all of your suicide attempts failed. I’m so happy that your family will be together again and start living the best life ever.

My question for you: Why didn't you tell your parents from the very beginning the things you found out about the organization? How did your father and brother found out? It probably would've been much easier had you told them, it would've prevented you living in your car and developing depression etc...etc...

It is not only JW fault placing man made authority between God and men, Catholics and other Christian cult do it saying you must have priest or some kind of spiritual father between God and you. But we know Bible contradicts it by saying there is only one mediator between God and men and it is Jesus. He is only way to heaven, the ticket you must have and trust to get in to the gates of heaven.

What a story! Thank you for this testimony, showing just how dark and ugly this cult truly is. I almost became a Jehovah witness- studied long enough to create problems in my family. I got choked up hearing about the Savior comforting you in the shower. JW’s don’t know about this Jesus. The watchtower Jesus is impersonal, and even irrelevant in their doctrine.

I became a JW at 15. I had friends in High school who were JWs which helped. I became a JW because at 15 you're struggling with who you are, what your life is all about, what your going to do with your life etc. Their publications had ALL the answers. There was " love" and support in the congregation. I cant guarantee the love was REAL but they did encourage me to " make spiritual progress". But as a High schooler, I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT SCIENTIFIC METHOD, EPISTEMOLOGY,THE REAL HISTORY OF THE BIBLES cos theres More than 1 Bible. It takes decades to learn all these things. Right now i learned maybe the universe is both infinite and eternal because James Webb telescope found galaxies older than Big Bang. WHO KNEW?

The ironic thing is the top GB men are the biggest egregious sinners in the entire organization for being false prophet apostates, the ones who the bible says to not listen to. The GB men say they right next to Jehovah in his spiritual force when in reality these men are in Satan's spiritual force direct opponents to Jehovah and Jesus as false prophets are. 😳

I can attest to the fact that you guys were indeed the dream JW family back then… But oh MAAAN it makes my heart SO incredibly happy that you are out, and your family followed and you have found that real peace & happiness!! My husband and I officially and publicly disassociated 3.5 years ago too, after years of doubt, fear, and anger over the organisation… It was the best decision of our lives and we have never doubted or regretted a moment since leaving. Your video is beautifully spoken, I hope it continues to help others who have left or want to leave. All our love to you and your family!

This organization is being guided and directed by Satan (the father of the lie) without question, it has since the late 1800's when it promoted Pyramidology to date 1914 as the year Armageddon would mostly likely occur and Jesus took to his heavenly throne in 1874. 😳 The heads of the WTS/JWS (GB) have always used fear, obligation, exploitation and intimidation to mentally take control over people's mind psychologically and their sociological behaviour. Mind you this game of exploitation and manipulation is coming to a fading close as people are awakening to these men's actions and intent. Sadly thousands have lost their lives and millions of families were broken apart by the actions and personal endeavours of these men's self indulgent sin. Power is power and money is money after all and that's why there are still men at the top gleaming with all of that indiscriminate power and money. All of the men who started and continued to run the JWS /WTS/Jworg were all self serving and corrupt religious charlatans who lured others to themselves for purposes of self empowerment and exploitation and did so strategically through the literature they published. It has become clear and understanding that most of these end times doctrines were acts of apostasy and false prophesying based upon bible scripture. Power corrupts, so does a whole lot of money. $$$ 😳

Thankyou for sharing your story. It brought me to tears. I’m 3rd generation -I left in my early 20’s (1999) we didn’t have the internet like we do now. There was no support and I went through a very similar journey. It still effects who I am today. But I agree our experiences we were raised in gives us a special understanding of people, I have great empathy for people that I ever had before. I look forward to your book and it’s inspiring me to write mine. It sounds like you have a solid family. My story with my family isn’t so nice. To this day my dad and his side of the family refuse to talk to me. Even at my baby brothers funeral Last year. So sad…he doesn’t know me or any of my children. It’s such a loss. The organization is not loving unless you follow the order. Everything has conditions- which isn’t Christlike at all. Keep spreading your truth!

The JWS commercialized cult was structured for criticism because it was very much devised as a commercial scam in literature publishing, to lure in and exploit the ignorant and naive. Its core doctrines (1914) was just derived and revised from Freemasonry theologies such as Pyramidology which was used to create the year 1914 date as a significant year, supposedly the year of Armageddon . When it didn't happen the leader off the WTS, (J.Rutherford) just revised a new dating scheme to make that year a significant year in Jesus taking to his heavenly throne. He exploited the public's ignorance of the date of ancient Jerusalem's destruction and went about promoting this newly devise scheme. Now that has clearly failed, its assumed they will drop that doctrine all together in the near future. In essence all of the leaders of the WTS/JWs were just dishonest corrupt religious charlatans running their own unregulated publishing house. They used and exploited the freedom of religion established by the American government to the fullest and created a huge amount of power and money, their own Kingdom one might say. 😳

I was born Jehovah’s Witness , and on Aug 12th, 2021, I prayed to Jehovah letting him know how much this religion has hurt my heart. Since I was born I’ve been told that God was going to destroy all who were not witnesses. I couldn’t do it anymore I prayed to God letting him know all the damage this religion has done in my life....I told God that all I wanted was his love not paradise especially knowing all the non-witnesses that I loved were dead and I would gladly give my life in exchange for my children that are not witnesses. I told him I could no longer assist meetings because this religion is making me think badly of him. I remember yelling in my head how I couldn’t understand how a loving God could do this knowing our imperfections...I was sobbing, overwhelmed with grief when all of a sudden I had a thought of : I would never hurt anyone. I felt it down to my bones, I instantly calmed down and felt at peace. That night as I was laying down, my whole body started with intense waves of vibration, I started to sit up and it kept going, then I just had this knowing not be afraid and I just relaxed and immediately I started seeing all these lights and I was in a tunnel of light. I kept thinking if my husband turned around I was going to be sparkling! Then I was inside of this most amazing light that was filling me with so much love, fractals of light were coming towards me and all I could hear was I love you, you are loved over and over again. I felt all the pain and hate and hurt melt from my core, I was just floating there in unimaginable love and bliss, I remember being asked if I wanted to stay and I thought of my kids and then it just melted away and I was sitting in bed. I was drunk with Gods love for 2 weeks, I was healed from a full body skin illness I had been suffering for 3 years. I haven’t been back to any meetings since. Haven’t spoken to any elders about what happened just my mom and husband her reaction was not surprising, immediately told me to talk to an elder. I know they will say it was demonic, but how can a love so complete not be from something so pure? Because of this experience, I started researching and was blown away by THOUSANDS of accounts of others who have had this out of body experience called NDE or STE, I’m telling you it’s mind blowing how death has been held over us. Everyone says the same thing: God is not Judging us WE are!!! I still pray and feel Gods Holy Spirit with me something I had never felt in the Kingdom Hall! I just want others to know that God is not in the religious buildings/kingdom hall he is in our hearts everywhere we go, always. He does not give us the spirit of fear, anything in the Bible that causes fear is a misinterpretation. Jesus came to free us from the lies and it’s happening again, we are the new scrolls...the countless witnesses of how religions are a snare! Jesus said it was done! He didn’t say now we have to follow another religions rules to inherit the kingdom! My Father and I share the same will that ALL WILL BE SAVED!

Elders called me on the carpet, about having a hot rod Chevelle and a Harley when I was 18 years old, was told it didn’t portray a Christian in a positive light,I wasn’t even baptized. It didn’t help I worked for a elder in the congregation. It got so bad working for this tyrant that I had to quit. I went out and applied for other construction jobs but when they would call for employment verification he would give a poor review. Looking back on it it was the best thing he could have done, it exposed him for what he was really was. That’s been 39 years ago.

Dare I say it -- that calm feeling that washed over you -- might be your own soul reassuring you that you'd be okay. Something similar happened to me when I learned I was disfellowshipped (in absentia). I call it grace. In that moment I knew I'd be okay -- and I was. Sure, I went through terrible grief for losing everyone I thought was my friend. That's perfectly normal and necessary. My JW family shunned me as well. I have two adult children who shun me. I have grandchildren I've never met. Fortunately for me, I had some worldly friends who helped me get through the immense grief. I had been living a double life. Long story short, I moved three provinces (Canada) away from the JWs and started my new life. I'm much happier after my exit from the Watchtowerland Pharisees in the year 2000. Followed up on a job offer and landed it, found a wonderful senior landlady who got me talking about my story. Very sympathetic, kind and helpful with years of wisdom. Looking back, I quite literally outgrew the family religion and it was time to move on. I trust my own soul's guidance, my conscience, my inner sensing, and common sense.
