I certainly hope that this was not watchtower bs society committing foul play as their charter states they have full right to do, including 'helping man-made and natural disasters (not the people, the disasters) believe it or not. Look up the charters and amendment if you doubt me.

No, this has nothing to do with Watchtower. It was a tragic situation with their son being taken advantage of by someone he met (not affiliated with Watchtower in any way) and trusting this person too quickly. An investigation is still underway, so I hesitate to give too many details until a complete picture is understood.

What a wonderful interview 🤩 the very 1st crack I saw in the org was Ephesians 5:21 be in subjection to one another now how would things be different if they cherry picked that one which is the beginning of the paragraph instead of 22 but they never not once included that part of the scripture. So I started asking around about that and needless to say I was the single sister of four kids that didn’t like the headship arrangement. Some of the sisters I showed were just jaw dropped. I wrote to the branch haha

I just checked your Facebook and liked the postings, but it didn't have a follow option. The only option I saw was friend, and due to a bad experience years ago, I don't chose friend.

I used to be a JW, sinse 1970 ... been out 7 yrs now and what a relief to have a glorious life back !!! JW's are the most controlling and enslaved religion using man made rules and not biblical sourced ... The leaders of the JW's mind control their followers to their advantage ... I don't mind being an apostate to their religion or even disassociated with ... Such a relief to no longer be a slave to such nonsense with much scare tactics and fear mongering !!! 💖

To answer the question posed in the title, no. Maybe it's contributing to more drinking, but not causing it. The JW drinking culture has been around for decades because of how fucking miserable life is being a Witness. On another note, I hear ya about being an alcoholic, that's two of us. Some of us were just born with no off switch when it comes to drinking. Great video! Keep 'em coming!

I’m 70 now and ‘awake’ but have almost spent my whole life in and out of this cult. I have a very long story to tell. What put me off most of all were their misinformed doctrines such as the 607 and the overlapping, their once supporting the United Nations and of course the shunning. My eldest son and family are JW’s and they’re very involved but they refuse to let me see their two teenage children. They’re so cruel but I know they see me as a hater of Jehovah. Their ‘new light’ is rediculous but is a big wake up call! I live in the UK and would be happy to talk to you.

I like the J dubs. They don’t water down the Bible to keep people coming so they can get more money. People say their leaders governing body has control… they have no control we all have free will. Sadly I find a common theme on these videos. They are from people who don’t want to live a certain lifestyle. I get it living by Bible principals can be difficult so it’s not for everyone. I am just amazed why people think they need to post a video explaining why the left. Do those same people post about how they don’t get picked in a pick up game or maybe they got fired from work and complain about that. It’s pretty easy if you are not happy just take your ball and go home. No need to spread hate, oh Maybe that’s why those people left.

So if you are a JW, as I suspect you are... if I got your c.o.b.e.'s name and number and called him and let him know what you're watching on KZfaq, how do you think that would go for you? Do you think being brought to a back room being questioned for using your 'free will' to look at apostate videos might happen? Because... you know, the governing body has 'no control' over that 'free will' of yours. You said ppl don't want to live a certain 'lifestyle'... yet, that lifestyle includes to 🎶 listen, obey and be blessed. Yet here you are on KZfaq checking out how those that leave live 🤔 not obeying the (non)controlling governing body. I'll still be here, if you decide you ever need to talk and not just write snarky remarks to make your nagging doubts and questions feel less overwhelming. 💗

Thank you for your story of escape! It means a lot plus so helpful. My sibling is in the JW as pioneer, she and her family ignore me as mentally disease cause faded away. I had tried to go back one time but so lonely and marked I cried in KH bathrooms. I have been out over 30 years and NOT returning. You mention the CSA coverage up. So sad this has happened But I was watching a KZfaq from 60 minutes on SEX OFFENDERs....they have hard time finding homes. Many live in woods in state of FL. But they need homes/or apartments badly....I wonder if a organization we know is building these apartment to house them. Plus sex offenders must be known on a list to protect society s children..JW kept this covered up. Not good at all. am surprised JW allowed to go door to door still. I am glad you and family doing much better ...Thank you again!

I was a huge vodka drinker, but after I got sober the first time, I promised myself I'd only buy wine and bring that home, never vodka again. I only drank vodka out on occasion. Before I got sober the first time, I literally drank a fifth of vodka a day. A DAY.

Thanks for sharing your experience and we love you very much! I started drinking while I was in! Fortunatly an elder who works like a dog for the Witchtower Babel and Crap Society, tried to help me by putting me in the Pioneer program! He meant well, but he, like many of the cult mnembers, are not aware of what was causing me to drink! I didn't know at the time what it was either!
