That statement Kirby made about having to become her own best friend is all the way true. I felt that. I definitely had to do the same thing growing up as a witness. I felt this whole interview.

SOOOOO TRUE...I WAS KICKED OUT AT LIKE 15...BUT I WAS REALLY LIKE 8 LOOKING BACK...I WAS OUT HERE GETTING DRAGGED AND USED AND ABUSED ...BECAUSE I HAD NOO LIFE LESSONS ETC.... I TOLD MY DAD IM A SURVIVOR BECAUSE OF ALL IVE PUT MYSELF THROUGH AND WAS PUT THROUGH.....HE SAID WELL IFF YOU WOULD'VE STAYED(IN THE RELIGION) I WAS LIKE WWWTTFFF..SOOO BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO BE A JW/FOLLOW THE GB.....I DESERVED TO NOT TO HAVE MY PARENTS AND THEM NOT KNOWING THEIR GBABIES WHO ARE NOW GROWN?!! I CAME TO REALIZE THAT IT'S DELIBERATELY SETUP FOR US TO HIT ROCK BOTTOM OR WORSE IF WE DECIDES TO LEAVE..WITH NOOO CARING OR CONCERN FOR KIDS WELL BEINGS!!! SORRY I GET SOOO EMOTIONAL HEARING HER STORY BECAUSE IT WAS MINE AS WELL

My friend Sean gave up a super great career as a rapper where he was legit making 6 figures & hanging out with his celebrity friends, living a great life, had literally everything & fulfilling his childhood dreams and so happy… but gave up EVERYTHING for JWs. All because his sister said she would ban him seeing his beloved niece & nephew if he didn’t give up his career he worked so hard for and doing great. Now he with the cult & working a basic job. (Remember… He was working & partying with major celebrities & rappers and making 6 figures. (He does still got money because he smart & invests.) It’s sad how JWs want you to give up everything “for Jehovah.”🤦🏽‍♀️

Im a Bible student thankfully not baptized, and I’m trying to leave, and I even have not gone to my meetings for the past 3 weeks, and even missed my past 3 studies… but now I’m getting texts from sisters & brothers talking about how I’m “just discouraged..” which I’m not. They want me to be someone I’m not, give up great friends & family just because they not JWs, I got “judged” for being a plasma donor because they don’t believe in saving lives. (I also heard about a 6 year girl who died because her parents wouldn’t let the doctors give her a blood transfusion. They also don’t like that I’m more spiritual than religious. I also have 6 specific sisters who have been straight up bullies for the past 5 years. I want to block the ones in my phone contacts but others will just contact me..😳🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m never going to get away because they won’t let me.. no matter how much I try to get away…. 😭🤷🏽‍♀️

She’s correct, the Governing Body did have members to believe that they communicated with Jehovah directly… When I was at Bethel, that belief was just as strongly there too.

I live where the need is great, cleaned, underemployed, put Jehovah first because I desperately wanted Jehovah to hear me. Hated what I did, shy/phobic/ depressed and powerless to change anything.

This is so important! Thank you all for being so brave! Deep soul hug to each of you!

Awesome interview. Kirby shouldn’t be Afraid to speak about her parents…Parents need to hear these Horrors that their children are facing or, will be facing. Kirby, if you see this message, “Keep ya head Up!” You are incredible; beautiful; and full of strength. Stay focused on your journey of inner peace and prosperity!

I'm sooo proud of her and you both as well!! AWESOME INTERVIEW

Great interview ,thanks Kirby.

Great Show! Please have more GREAT guests like this one! Keep up the good work.

So proud of all 3 of you for this interview, because of young people like you, your going to save a lot of young one from wasting their life with this organization, and they get to pursue their own passions and interest that will make them happy 😊

Great interview. I’m looking forward to part 2.

need that part 2 nowwwww please !

Yall have to do more videos with Kirby, this was awesome! That's so crazy about her friend Stephen's story. I wish he could have stayed in the fight against WT. There's a special place for Uncle Stephen Lett!!

Great score on this interview, guys! Cant wait to hear more from Kirby & this series.

Thank you so much for this interview I truly appreciate it 🌹🌺💐🌸love y’all 💕🌺💐🌸

I look forward to part two. ❤

What a touching, heartfelt interview! Thank you Kirby for your openness and honesty. My heart broke when you spoke of your friend ending his life. My father was in “good standing” as a jw and also ended his own life. The pain that comes with a loved one/friend ending their life is a pain so deep and so raw and leaves us with so many unanswered questions. I can tell from your interview that your friend knew deep in his heart that you loved him and cared about him. I’m happy that you now have the freedom to live your life on your terms and have escaped this horrific cult. Continued happiness to you!

Great interview! Thanks for sharing Kirby!❤

This was a really good interview !

great first interview!

Wow!! What a great IN PERSON interview! I love that you did the IRL experience. I really enjoyed watching this! I can’t believe she knew and was friends with the infamous Stephen Letts nephew that we’ve all heard about. It’s so sad what happened to him. Heart breaks every time I think about what he must have been going through. 💔 It was very nice to hear more of an inside perspective of who he was in sharing their friendship. I loved watching this one. ❤ Oh and just want to throw this out there to help you on future interviews for your channel. If you purchased some inexpensive microphones the audio wouldn’t be so echoey during the interview. I learned this by testing it out with my own KZfaq channel and making videos. I recently started a “Succulent Addict” @ForeverASucculentAddict growing succulents indoors garden channel. And I wanted to do a video sharing the succulent fairy garden I did on my balcony deck for spring/summer/autumn and I live right next to a freeway. (You can imagine how loud it is😝) I didn’t want the outdoor videos I create to pick up the freeway noise and ruin the audio of my videos so I went to Amazon and purchased a Bluetooth microphone that attaches to my iPhone. Which is what I use for making my videos of course. ☺️ Well anywho…. I compared using the microphone and NOT using it in two separate testing videos and man oh MAN it’s a GAME CHANGER. If you go to my “Deck Tour” video you will see you can’t even HEAR a freeway. 🤯 The microphone focuses in on just your voice. So anyways I just wanted to throw that out there to help. I’m still learning so much about making videos for KZfaq. I’m by no means an “expert” whatsoever….But I’m so glad I invested in a small easy to transport microphone. It really helps SOOOO much!! 🎉 Hope that helps you guys. I just want you to have ALL the success in the WORLD. Love you both SOOO much!! Thanks again for all that you do for the Ex JW community. ❤

Thanks for sharing your story Kirby. Great interview.

We were the only ones in the cult. Soo thankful because leaving was easy. My first congregation was very dynamic and multi cultural which is what drew me in but when we moved interstate to a white wealthy old congregation which caused me to slowly wake up. I realised how racist they were and it gave white supremacy vibes so I was out. The only friends I had ended up leaving and we felt soo isolated. Totally get what she’s saying. Great interview

Btw I held on to the organization rules thinking I was showing my love for Jehovah and I forgot that wasn't wat the Bible was saying or teaching

Great interview. Good job guys

Excellent choice for your first interview! Looking forward to part 2!

Great Job Thanks Family

Don't let them bully you! Stand your ground!This is your life!

Great video and interview

Great interview. Really enjoyed it. And Kirby cute lil mama ...lol... Keep the good content coming ya'll

Please keep moving forward with the interviews, guys. You two are good at this and easy to open up to. Sending my love to Kirby and many others who have had to find their way out of this religion. You are so strong and beautiful, Kirby. R.i.P to your dear friend that you lost. His life and story did not go without purpose even now. ❤

Truthfully speaking just from a biblical examination, it's mind boggling to think someone could read the NWT and think it's inspired by God in any capacity. All Judeo Christianity Bible have contradictions in them but the JW is on a whole other level of absurdity. The entire Bible is worthless just in the first 2 books. I feel bad for all those who do not know any better or relegate all outside teachings/knowledge to being Satan influenced. This is why i support channels such as yours. Keep up the good work guys.

Looking forward to part 2! Great interview!

More interviews !!! Love it !

This interview was 🔥 🔥 🔥 !!!! You both are great interviewers! Kirby was a great guest, I really liked her energy and story! So many things I definitely could identify with! Keep up the good work!

❤..Kirby is awesome. Great job!!!

It’s interesting hearing such close stories to my own experience. Mostly because you feel so alone going through it.

Great interview!

Loved this interview and love your channel! I appreciate the time you give to this!

FANTASTIC 🙂

I also was a third generation JW, but because I'm a contemporary of my grandparents, I'm also overlapping first generation ;)

First!!!!!!!🎉🎉

Amazing interview, so sad about Steven Lett :(

I'm 42 n I was taught from birth n I thought the world was going to end. I graduated hs btw I couldn't imagine the year 2000 or anything pass that I now have a grandchild and my mother die believing 😢

I was going to ask if you were going to do interviews! Yay I’m excited!!!! I have a story to tell if you guys are ever interested?

❤😊❤ thanks for all u do 2 help others

Yup! I remember...my Mom would always say "He did for Disney what he wouldn't do for Jehovah" 🙄

I'm taking over the GB!!!! GIVE ME THE MONEY!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was a jehovah witness for 14 years and disfellowshipping witness of jehovah witness i am free and liberates

Now, Stevie "boy blunder" Lett needs to see this and play it back slow for him. This is was we mean by the JW.Borg destroys lives.

Ayyyeee Kirby you made it on 👌

Seconddddddd!!!!!! 🎉😂

I'm so sorry that Kirby lost her friend. Stephen Lett is the weirdest thing I've ever seen and the comments he made about his nephew were bizarre and insensitive. Blessings to you Kirby.

I was never a Jw but i love y’all videos 😂💯

She fine

So all 3 of y’all looking THICK?! Ok!! lol great video

I was jehovah witness and disfellowshipping and finally freedom

I remember that story. They would say he wouldn't cut his beard for the kingdom but would cut it for the magic kingdom. That shit sound so stupid

Kirby said that she didn't know when Steven died, I found a podcast of his sister on The Lloyd Evans Channel from January 12th, 2021. And she said he died Jan of 2020 she didn't give a date. Maybe y'all can pass this alone or fine the interview because she talks about Steven Lett and what he is like outside Bethel.

“ She part time Witness” 😂

Third!!!! 😂😂😂😂

I hope You Search Iglesia ni Cristo or Church of Christ there in your place..Thank you Sister

Are you guys in the South?

Hi. I'm so aware of the organization short comings. But I would not call it a cult. They are just radical. And me having left I'm on a personal journey to know God. But I'm grateful for some of the principles and habits I gained while in it.

I left the Jehovah’s Witnesses decades ago because of similar reasons. I’ve watched several of your videos and it seems to me you guys worshipped the “governing body” and not God. I say this because I’ve always believed in the God of the Bible and know that despite the scandals and ever changing doctrine the organization was in the midst of, they had A LOT OF TRUTH. From observation you guys were enticed by and wanted to be part of the world. THE PROOF… the tattoos, the braids(which there’s nothing wrong with) and most of all the Egyptian Ankh worn by the brother. If we believe that the God in the Bible is the “truth” then brother you might as well have stayed in the JW organization instead of embracing Egypt. I would recommend reading the different translations of “The Contendings of Horus and Seth” and see the debauchery the Egyptians believed in amongst their gods. Because if you’re wrong I pray that the Most High and Christ have mercy on your souls. Also you guys carry yourself in a very dignified way, I would attribute some of those qualities to being brought up in that organization. In other words don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, pick the meat off the bones and keep moving.

Hmmm., After watching this interview with Kirby, oh hey ! Nice interview by the way ! I’ve come to the conclusion that this must be the ONE TRUE RELIGION !!! Where do I sign up ? I don’t want those fire balls at joe hova day !!!🤣😂🤪ahhh… God bless us worldly people. Oh a question do I get to keep my worldly life, friends, but most of all my 🧠brain. If I work Saturday giving out those comic book pamphlets I want time and a half ! 😮🤞🏿
