Hey guys it's been 2 years since leaving and this is how life has gone for us since then. Hope you guys have had a positive experience too! Cheers 😃
Our secretly recorded disfellowshipping and 2 year anniversary since leaving on Watchtower Victims Memorial Day!!!

It's great that you guys awoke to TTATT at this point in your lives -- while you still have so much of your lives ahead of you. So many of us envy that situation!
From reading your experiences, it would appear that you were the "perfect" young couple in the Congregation and I would expect that your exit and subsequent DFing would have caused quite a stir in your area. Hopefully there will others that will begin to question things when they whisper about "WHY Christian & Katja left The Troof?"
Good luck to you!

The greatest revenge is living a happy & successful life!

Its always good to see people coming out the JW cult happy, healthy and secure in their personal direction.
Unfortunately so many that leave the JWS end up self abusing themselves and taking a destructive path in their life.
Knowledge is the key to balance oneself in every day living and to establish the best direction to take.

I love you guys and your videos but have to admit that the only time I run across you is during self-promotion. Sure would be nice to see you guys respond to the threads you start, to emails, etc., maybe even getting down in the trenches and helping one on one at times. I think I'm friends with you on Facebook, per your request, but you only show up about yourselves. Maybe that's not fair, but I've lost interest due to it. Best wishes though.

Thank you for your time and efforts in communicating a positive message and model of life after the Watchtower.
The video and audio quality is great.
Greetings

Always glad to see you making videos. But I am specially happy for you because you represent the very people who absolutely don't belong to this organization. The young and the bright have endless possibilities to make their lives better and the lives of other people. As we get older, especially when we are poor an uneducated, those possibilities start disappearing. So it's sad to admit, but cults sometimes do some good to these type of people.
Have a happy life. Don't forget that you need to grow the population. Young workers have to contribute to my Social Security when I start withdrawing, 20 years from now.

haha welcome to the age of digital narcissism and slacktivism
And, be honest - ok, perhaps not with the OP, but with other youtubers etc - yes I'm sure they're perfectly 'nice' people, but admit it... after watching some of them you silently say to yourself in an undertone - "Thank god they weren't ever in my congregation!"

I agree. I once wrote to them on YouTube thanking them for making the vids, yada, yada.
I never even received an acknowledgement.
Does anyone else know anything else about them such as region or city of residence?
It just seems odd that they pop-up randomly and won't even interact with those experiencing the same.
They are completely opposite to Marcus "Ex-Bethelite" Vaugh. He seems like a genuine guy.
