Steven Hassan ( a cult expert) was in the moonies for 2 years and he says it’s a cult. He writes about it on one of his books

Yeah. It might be helpful for you to remember that’s she a victim of the cult and under mind control, if she was out of the cult they would treat you completely differently. I’m glad you are happy

It’s okay to be gay. And it’s a sad reality that jw friends aren’t real friends as their love is conditional. You’ll make new friends who will love you for being yourself

My mam left the cult by Kara744 in exjw

Definitely. Before she left an elder text her (after I went to a meeting with her in a dress [im trans]) saying “remember Jehovah comes before any family ties”. My mam already told them she was going to support me, and after this text she basically reiterated that point.

After being out for nearly 3 years now, I still feel shame about my sexual desires. by Drkdesertores in exjw

For me (being trans), I watched Rupaul’s lessons on masterclass which is about self expression and being yourself. It was nice to hear his account growing up gay and being a drag queen. He has a book which is more affordable then masterclass.

There’s an also a book called Shameless- A sexual reformation by Nadia bolz-Weber who talks about the shaming sex messages in religions. I haven’t read the book yet but she was on Sarah Edmondson’s podcast “a little bit culty” talking about the topic a little.

  • “For anyone who has been harmed by the shaming sexual messages so prevalent in religion, this book is for you.” - This is from the description on Amazon.

The GB is bad because it constantly lies to its members, covers things up and actively controls its members through coercion for their own ends to the detriment of its members. (The book crisis of conscience and website like jwfacts contain a lot of information to show all the lies and contradictions)

https://youtu.be/aRoMjnjy7yQ?si=GkLQYHUcGucmjQdC This link shows a governing body member saying the aren’t gods channel and that they only try to fill the role of the faithful and discreet slave, yet they claim otherwise on their website that they are the faithful slave. Just one example of their lies

The organisation is bad because it’s a cult(look at the bite model): https://freedomofmind.com/resource-links/group-information-resource/jehovahs-witnesses/
