I have a lot in common with you. I lost a full term baby in the NICU. Been a nurse for a long time. Also escaped the cult during Covid. Thanks for sharing your story.

Good for you :) I left in February of 2023 after 45 years as a JW. Recently have been watching the Youtube channel of Brother Messe, an ex-elder from France who actually formed a judicial committee with two other brothers and disfellowshipped the GB. He has helped me to see who and what YHWH actually is and what's at the root of the evil in the WT<br><br>I always had doubts, especially as a child, but buried them. The failure of the 1914 generation teaching is #1 for me, then in 2019 they announced the construction of the movie studio in Ramapo to be completed in 2026, which set off an alarm in my mind. Soon to follow was their handling of Covid and them breaking their own rule of not offering medical advice by pressuring all JW's to get the vaccine. It's wonderful to be out of this crumbling organization and your story will help others to see the light. Btw, I am not a Christian, at least not in the conventional sense. Oh and I want to add that in a sense they do tithe. Most JW's don't realize that they, put<br>a per publisher dollar amount in place where the elders are told to donate that amount every month. Currently it's $11.50 per publisher. It's shameful.

Thank you for sharing your story! I left in 2019 at 39 years old bc my oldest child left and it made me question everything. It took my husband about 3-4 years after that to wake up himself. Really enjoyed your story and will listen to your husband’s story too!

Thank you so much for sharing your story my sister. <br><br>I was announced last Tuesday, it's been an insane rollercoaster ride of emotions. <br><br>Know your love. <br><br>And now that I'm outside of the organization I can genuinely say,, "I love you even tho I've never met you before."

I left JW fully around 2001 and perused Bible study on my own and in prayer. What I found was the real truth of Yahwehs word. No religion of the world, but true understanding of His Word and meaning. To know why humanity was created, why the earth was created. What is sin? Who is Satan? Why is the world the way it is? Why does false religion exist? <br><br>All my questions were answered by directly wanting a real relationship with my Creator God without all the lies. <br><br>I am now age 45 and have a wonderful understanding of everything that most people today walk through life not knowing and searching for till their death. <br><br>What I learned is that, the real truth is right in front of all of us, but we are so busy following everything else instead of exactly building and trusting in a direct relationship with our Creator, that people just become totally lost. <br><br>After listening to your video, I see another person who left JW, and searching for answers and just concluding that there is no Creator God with any direction - on everything under the sun. <br><br>Another note on gay people, we are not born just automatically choosing to be gay. Just like picking a color we may like, or just liking what we like. It’s all lumped in the same way. No that’s not how life works at all. We can choose to follow lust of the flesh, or we can choose to live how our Creator directs. There is a reason a man sleeping with a man can not ever give birth to a baby. It’s not by accident, it’s not by we just chose this. <br><br>You are looking at sin as if we just are birthed to do whatever we so please with no consequences of our actions. <br><br>If a person wants to murder people, should they say, I was just born this way?? No. <br><br>You are looking so far beyond without the Creator directing you at all, that you have now drawn to just what you yourself wants to believe. Whatever you feel is what goes for you in life. — You will be lost with that lifestyle choice. <br><br>I urge you to get to know God Almighty without looking for him in a religion and instead looking for real answers from him in prayer.<br><br>Science is always tested. It’s also filled with deceptions, just as false religions are. Evolution uses Scientism and denies the Creator. Humanity has not been on the earth for millions of years. If they were, then there is no truth to anything at all. All history would be based on lies. Every date humanity would use would also be a lie. —The modern day Gregorian calendar was put in place by the Roman Catholic Church, also based on a lie (false religion).

I’ve been struggling with human suffering for so long. Raised a Witness but left 5 years ago. If I had the power to stop just one act of injustice I would whole heartedly do it. It is hard to understand a God who would watch all the horrible things done and do nothing.

Congratulations for realising and standing up for reality. It's incredible how many religious people blind themselves.
