Abuse, Death, And Dooms Day : Ex-Jehovah's Witness Speaks Out

Published 2024-02-21
Real stories, told by real people.

It's about the Human experience. And the stories shared on this channel, come from all walks of life. They include struggle, pain, and challenges. Abuse, addiction, and trauma. There reminders to any of you in a bad spot right now. That you're not alone, and things can change.

One of these stories today comes from F.S. Raised as a Jehovah's Witness, but it even started sooner for him - "my indoctrination started before I was born", mentioning how his mother would listen to tapes of sermons and doctrines while pregnant. A common and encouraged practice amongst JW's.

F.S. talks about his childhood, and the teachings perpetuated by the elders, "prophets" and other members of the church that traumatized him. This constant talk of Armageddon is soon to come, and the end is near. How damaging to the psyche of a child can that be? - "It made me suicidal big time, as a child, the first suicidal thought I had, was at 10 years old." He wasn't the only one. Sadly, he knew of others that did take their lives who were raised under similar conditions. In detail, F.S. also breaks down a lot of the scandals, abuse cases (past and present), and other practices/beliefs that have cost the lives of thousands. Including the refusal of organ transplants and blood transfusions.

Just recently (a couple years ago) he separated himself from the organization, and because of it, lost everything. He was shunned. Family, friends, and ultimately the world as he knew it, gone. That's his reason for wanting to share his story. Fueled with a righteous anger, and a passion to bring awareness to what's been going on under the guise of 'religion'. F.S. calls it a cult. After listening to his story, I'll let you come to your own conclusions.

Your thoughts are welcome below.
How do you feel, about it, is this a cult or religion?

'Til next time
and very soon,
PEACE!!

    The more exjws tell their story the more WATCHTOWER is exposed. Watchtower's END is near. Keep it coming...Thanks for telling your story!!!!! You are a HERO!!!!
  • @junejunie2284
    Well, I just have to say I'm glad this video popped up in my feed. I was born in, and like F.S. realized at a young age that I'd never make it through Armageddon. Thanks, watchtower, for a lifelong sense of dread and chronic depression. Fortunately I got into therapy asap after leaving. One last thing since this interview really touched me: if anyone doubts any of what the guest shared here I can assure you it's all true without a shred of exaggeration. It is an evil, evil cult.
  • I am 55. I was disfellowshipped at 18 years old. I was born and raised a jw.I lost my family. I only go to funerals. But people need to keep speaking up.I pray my family that's still in it gets out. Thank you for sharing
  • @user-gh4hj7fq4r

  • @YnoT_TonY.
    If feels good to let out your story and to see that you have others that want and need that perspective to find or affirm their way forward! Thanx for sharing !!!🎉
  • Everything you have said is so true. Hang in there things do get better. So many of us have been in the same boat. Life is so much better out of the cult. I wish you so much happiness Louise
  • @allandahma4825

  • @feb196940
    The watchtower pardon my cursing need to be fucking BANNED !
  • I was baptized in 1959 I was 12 and I am now 78 years old but nothing of these that you are talking about happened during those years. And I am still in the same organization
  • Just subscribed thank you so much for your hard work your doing to help people wake up and get out from this distractive Cult
  • @RiskeFactor
    This guy is regurgitating Raymond’s writings. 🤦🏻
  • @astridmiller7938
    if this was a true religion/belief then people would flock to it....but the real truth is that nothing good has come from jw/wt.. information is available if you want to investigate anything in this world.
  • @feb196940
    My own parents will die still believing the truth !
  • Thank you for this channel and information. I recently got out of the Brighamite LDS cult and find that there are so many similarities between the two cults. Same playbook. It's been almost a year, and ironically the only people who visit me each week are JWs. Sadly, i doubt they are aware of these things since they aren't allowed to do their own research. But i can! And maybe it'll help them? In our discussions i bring up things the BLDS church does or says that they hear from the WT, too... maybe they'll make connections? Lessons from a manual drive me nuts, though! That's what the cult i left does too. Philosophies of men mingled with scripture. Just the scriptures, please!
