Good for you XwRyan! Just don’t give up on the Lord. He loves you very much and wants to know you and be there for you when you ask. They have taken a lot from you, don’t let them take your salvation and the love from God away too.

Hi Al, I’m am in agreement that the Jehovahs Witnesses are not a group of people that are mean, but they have been misguided by the Watchtower. The fact that they believe there is no Hell, does not make it true and the very fact that they tell people things that are not true just because the Watchtower says they are, should say a lot. Everything printed here is fact and well documented. Please spend some time and go over everything or at least tell us why is not true in your view.

i have never heard such rubbis in all my life. i was a baptized witness. if brianwashing means having something in life to look forward to in life rather than death which is all everyone has to look forward to then i am glad i was brainwashed. no one has stopped talking to me since i stopped going to k/hall. they are the most generous and honest people i have ever met, they don’t get paid. the world is a bad place. there is violence everywhere. the youths today are getting worse, if i walked down the street at night near a group of youths i would be terrified, but if they were witnesses i would be safe. i could leave my belongings about in the hall and walk away and they would still be there.where else could you do that. they don’t beleive in hellfire and damnation. yes i have stopped going because i am weak and scared of reprisals. but noone has threatened me because of it. you need to get all your facts straight before printing them

I concur with D. I was also born into this cult. I told my dad early on that it wasn’t for me. I’m talking as early as 8 or 9. I think he knows I’m eventually leaving completely. Witnesses try to make you feel as though doubting them is sheer apostasy and that independent thinking is a sin. A SIN! I get so angry at all they’ve taken from me. I missed prom, school dances, debate team, tennis. All because they said they were “things of the devil”. They stole my childhood. Now, though, I’m happy to say I’m a freethinking college student making up for lost times.

I can assure anyone doubting the information given on this website and others like it that these things are absolutely true. I was born in to the Jehovahs Witness cult and therefore had no choice but to be subjected to the constant brainwashing that takes place on many levels in this “organization”. Although I rejected these people in my heart and began to rebel at an “early” age I am plagued to this day by “irrational” fears of all sorts that I am finding very hard to shake indeed. This is despite the fact that I consider myself to be an intelligent, reasonable person. The “back of my mind” cannot seem to wholly rid itself of the caustic teachings of this cult. Note to the webmaster: Although I certainly do not want my e-mail address published, I am requesting that you please contact me personally. I am seeking a solution and/or better understanding of these things and have not found an appropriate place to turn. Thank you for your time.

Everything that I have read on this site so far describes my experiences exactly as they occurred when my Grandmother introduced me to Jehovah’s Witnesses at the age of nineteen. For many years afterward I was plagued by feelings of guilt and shame over leaving the cult, feeling that I had failed at my “calling” in life. Since I had been taught to view others who had left the cult as apostates it was years before it occurred to me to read works they had published. Now I am reading works that call into question the authenticity of the bible itself. I’ve come a long way from that fearful, self-doubting young man. I will send further comments after I have read more….Ben
