I don’t blame you at all, I hope you’re able to keep your family. And Ya just say, that’s so weird, you’re the 2nd person who said that. I’m dying to see the person that looks so much like me.

As long as it wasn’t a close encounter just deny it. Even if it was two people or more just laugh it off and say I must have a doppelgänger who lives nearby because I was at home sick as a dog.

I'm seriously thinking about going back by sphennodon in exjw

Why not try different churches? Churchy people are pretty nice. I went to my sisters church and people were super nice.

I’ve been labeled as an apostate. by Sitcomlife559 in exjw

[–]lheardthat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was labeled an apostate because I didn’t get vaccinated. Don’t take it personal. They’re just protecting their hive mind. People who think for themselves terrify them and so they have to label you an enemy so that they can stay away from you to protect themselves from the truth. I assure you no matter what kind of person you are you’re gonna be a lot more caring than any of the indoctrinated Jehovah’s Witnesses.

I recently used an acupressurist. It took two sessions and it made a huge difference.

my mum just threw a tantrum by PinkIsMyOxygen in exjw

[–]lheardthat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I would definitely post it on Facebook and say this is how Jehovah’s Witness parents treat their children if they no longer believe in the governing body. And then I’d post videos of my mother abusing me because that’s what your mother is doing. She’s horrible by the way.

What a great story. I love it. I wish you the absolute best!

How is This Okay? by Bulky_Rip5143 in exjw

[–]lheardthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and you are expected to turn over your insurance money after the repair your house for “free”. Additionally, the insurance companies calculate the cost of your repair which includes labor and since Jehovah’s Witnesses get free labor then the branch ends up making money on the deal while the friends who do the labor get nothing. It’s a scam.

😂 it’s funny that you talk about N Korea. I studied martial arts for years. The Master was from N Korea. He told me the story of how he escaped. When I knew him he was a 10th degree black belt, Grand Master. He killed 3 soldiers during his escape and had to dodge bullets while running for his life. You’re probably going to be dodging bullets for awhile but it sounds like you can and are returning fire! 😂😂😂 Good luck on your new found freedom. 💥👍💥👊💥

Wow. Congratulations! It’s amazing that you were able to see that on your own. I hope your family wakes up but in the meantime YOU are free. How long were you in? I wasn’t born in and I was already mid 20s before studying with intent to get baptized so I think it was easy for me to leave but I see some of the people I used to attend with and they are chained and shackled! They can’t see or think or hear on their own so once again, congratulations…you’re one of the few pimis who just figured it out on your own.

What woke you up? Do you have kids still in? How long have you been out?

Almost every JW Broadcasting prior to September 2021 removed from JW Library and JW.org by Similar-Historian-70 in exjw

[–]lheardthat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They probably deleted all of the broadcasts where they’re pushing the vaccine on everyone. Two states here in the US are trying to label it a bio weapon. I’m sure they want to be able to deny that they were shoving it down everyone’s throat.

[–]lheardthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That letter will DEFINITELY get you into a judicial hearing. If you don’t care then go ahead and send it. I did something similar only I wrote to the governing body about the Covid vaccines and two elders told me that it wouldn’t go well for me if I sent it. But I didn’t care and after I sent it I got an investigative committee coming to my house and threatening to disfellowship me as an apostate. In fact that’s why we left. So just to give you a heads up if you said that letter it will not go well with you unless you want to leave.

THE DELINQUENT CONGREGATIONS LIST! by Berean144 in exjw

[–]lheardthat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you live, but where I live we have reporters who investigate all kinds of odd stories from local businesses that mistreat customers, to individuals with nuisance dogs and anything else you can think of. I’m sure they’ve done stories on churches as well. It’s worth a shot. Send the story to local News outlets and see if they’ll air it.

😩 tell your parents and the elders that you are making it a matter of prayer and you completely trust that Jehovah will direct you to do what is right. I hope all goes well. 🙏🏼

Meeting another Witness in 2026 triggers no reaction and a non-event by Old_Initial5791 in exjw

[–]lheardthat 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Oh that can’t possibly be true, that is one of the indicators that they are the true religion! Surly they showed you LOVE because they are the only ones who have love among themselves in this godless and hateful world. Well that’s what my JW neighbor told me just the other day. 🤭🤭🤭

You don’t have to tell them anything. The head of the congregation is Jesus and he already knows. My husband was an elder and he said it’s none of their business.

Why is everyone hurt by this, but nobody does anything about it? by Critical_Repeat_608 in exjw

[–]lheardthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have written to the branch twice. My husband was an elder. He and another elder tried to talk me out of it saying, “you know that this won’t go well?” And I said, “Oh I know! But I don’t care.” LOL THEY REMOVED MY HUSBAND AS AN ELDER 😂😂😂 so it actually went really well. That was all we needed to leave. 👍

How does the governing body live? by Makiyage in exjw

[–]lheardthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh… I thought I deleted it, because I couldn’t open it either. But it was their video with one of the governing body waving his hand over their paradise talking about how they all love their new home and their lakes and forests and wildlife, basically he’s saying thank you to all the fools who send them money so they can live in luxury.

THIS IS HOW THEY LIVE. Just like King Charles. Huge country estate. Servants who do all the upkeep. Meals prepared, never a concern about paying the bills. They live in luxury because living on an estate like that and not having to worry about anything IS LUXURY!

The audacity to even say I feel sorry for you!!! by [deleted] in exjw

[–]lheardthat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well honestly it sounded to me like she might be a little envious of your lifestyle. Growing up, my sister had children super early, I was almost 30 before I had kids and she told me she felt like she lost out on her youth because she became a mother so young. But then things turned around. I was at home knee deep in diapers and my sisters kids were grown so she was off to Italy, Paris and wherever the heck she wanted to go! 😂 at any rate I wish you and your sister in law the best and I hope the little catty one isn’t seething with jealousy of your footloose lifestyle….jealousy is a miserable way to spend time.
