TOP 5 Questions Jehovah's Witnesses CANNOT Answer

Jehovah's Witnesses are programmed to believe that individuals who leave their religion are proud, dishonest, and sinful. The truth is that members are leaving in droves because there exists numerous serious and significant questions which go outside the organizations mental programming, and the answers are devastating. In this video I present my top 5.

A prisoner who loves their chains will never be free.

I lost my best friend due to her returning to JW. She left her husband and adult children to return to the cult. Unfortunately, her mother brainwashed her, AGAIN, and pulled her back in. Now no one who isn't a JW can speak to her. I'm crushed for her husband and kids.

[GeoffreyR-hs]

I grew up in the organization with my mom and seven siblings being part of it. Two of us have been disfellowshiped and now lead lives of freedom from its bondage. I've found Christ in another way and feel just wonderful serving God .

Over 45 years ago, I was a teenager, the oldest of 6 children, being brought up by my mum who had been a Jehovah's Witness since I was 7 years old. She divorced my dad when I was 11, so I was the "man of the house" according to her. A ministerial servant started paying attention to my 2 younger sisters, eyeing them up and down, telling them how they were growing up into beautiful young ladies. I felt that this was wrong, so tried to have a chat with my mum about it. She chastised me and said "How dare you criticise a ministerial servant!". So I made damn sure that my sisters were never left alone around this pervert. How right I was... a few years later, he committed adultery with a married woman and both of them were disfellowshipped. When I was 19, I disassociated myself from Jehovah's Witnesses. Best thing I ever did.

I have a question: Is it possible for a male JW apostate to NOT grow a beard after leaving the cult? Just kidding, it suits you ;-)

I was born and raised in the religion. Abused in every way possible. I ran away and was homeless at 16. Im desperate to become an advocate and so i appreciate this video massively. Thank you

[suzikynz]

Born n raised in JW. Sexually abused by an elder at the age of 10 for 2 years, the assault happened in his car durring preaching in pairs. I mentally left when I was 13. I physically left when I was 17. Was forced to still attend meetings till I ran away from home at 20. Very much appreciate the video.could hear you all day darling. This cult needs to be exposed. X

[ZionJaYeon]

I grew up a Jw and left in 2018. I have no immediate family that speaks to me. It’s bittersweet to see so many people that really have been thru the same religious trauma bond over it. I hope everyone is getting therapy. 💕

I was studying for a meeting, reviewing the Reasoning from the Scriptures section on False Prophets. Under the subheading, "Have not Jehovah’s Witnesses made errors in their teachings?" this was the opening sentence:

"Jehovah’s Witnesses do not claim to be inspired prophets. They have made mistakes. Like the apostles of Jesus Christ, they have at times had some wrong expectations.—Luke 19:11; Acts 1:6."

It struck me like a lightning bolt. I knew that teachings came from the Governing Body, not members of the congregation, and I read this as them admitting that they are not inspired prophets. I felt that the Governing Body was not taking any responsibility for teaching -- and requiring other Jehovah's Witnesses to go door to door to preach -- false beliefs. I was raised a JW and I knew that we were not allowed to question the Governing Body, that it was akin to questioning Jehovah himself. If we seriously questioned a doctrine, we could be disfellowshipped. I knew that anything we believed came from the Governing Body. I did have the 1975 teachings in mind, and to know that their response to being wrong was to point the finger at rank-and-file Jehovah's Witnesses for "making mistakes" and "having some wrong expectations" ... I couldn't unsee that. I had the thought, "Why should I continue to unquestioningly believe anything the Governing Body tells me?"

That was it for me. It was heartbreaking but I disassociated a month later, after securing my own place to live.

[Insanemembrane]

Having been raised as a witness since 3 years old. I always thought it was very weird that before I was going to get baptized the elder that was helping me with the questions asked me if I knew who started the religion. I thought it was God. Then he mentioned Russell starting it up and for some reason that put a pit in my stomach how could God's organization start from a man.

[jhc]

Also, in regards to question #2, I can absolutely confirm they did. It was a pivotal moment in my family history as my parents marriage crumbled in 1976 and they divorced. My father actually put it in the court documents that my mother had become an evil woman, an independent woman who would not obey him any longer following the fact that the New System of Things didn’t pan out in 1975. Let’s just say that didn’t work out so well for him in court. He filed bankruptcy without telling my mother in the middle of their divorce, and sold the family home, then weaseled out of child support and did every horrible thing one can imagine a man might do against a wife during divorce. The Cult Elders supported him and helped hide my sister when he kidnapped her. It’s disgusting.

[glenarthur]

My father died in 1974 having refused blood believing the world was ending in 1975. I am just sad every time I think about it.

[EfrainRiveraJunior]

Every time I hear "leave it in Jehovah's hands, " I want to smack someone.

[Squishy_tank]

How I wish my dad spoke english to send him your videos. Thanks again for all your work Harrison. Nothing but logic.

[romeosandivar]

Hello Harrison I’d like to congratulate you for speak so clear, simple and with so much of común sense.
I’m one ex JW from the 1975 delusion generation, I grow up in the “truth “ in South America Bolivia, I witnessed entire families including my older brother been fanatic about 1975 he left school and become a pioneer at his 15 years old, my neighbor sold his house and move to a country side territory to preach ( he died in poorness in 1980) Until 2010 the year I weak up I was radicalized by my neighbors asking me Armageddon never come!
To be continued.

When I was just waking up, what really did it for me, was reading the elders book, and reading the part under baptism. They have a rule that a person who is HIV positive or a person who has AIDS, can't get baptized in the same pool as everyone else. It just instantly clicked for me. I remember thinking "and we've been taking medical advice from these people?". I had to Google it just to be 100% sure, but as I suspected, you can't "catch" such diseases in a swimming pool. Obviously there were a lot of other things, but this really shocked me into waking up. Also (again found in the elders book), the fact that in the case of a meeting disturbance, "the police should be called immediately"; but in the case of child abuse, "you MAY inform the parents of their right to go to the police". I was disgusted.

[conniewest]

As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I was appalled when I first heard about the sexual abuse and how they handled it. It was worse than the Catholic Church! It took years of therapy and I am still on psych drugs! Still suffer from PTSD! How can these people be so callow? I don't understand why the organization is so rich yet is preaching the end of the world is near.
Even Jesus says He doesn't know when the day is, only the Father does! We can only be ready!

[panqueque]

"Look at this article where Jehovah's witnesses clearly say excommunication is wrong and not godly"
"Actually it's talking about the CATHOLIC church doing it, not us"
Talk about a double standard

[therealjamiesmith]

I had a meeting with two JW woman in my home a week ago and I was asking lots of questions, jumping from topic to topic in the Bible and just for some background, I LOVE Jesus… This woman physically put her hands on her head and asked if we could stop .. she was overwhelmed and was shutting down and I thought it was odd that if she knew her Bible and understood the true God why was she struggling to follow everything and have these conversations? It makes sense to me now when you mention the mental programming they have.
