As a survivor of CSA at the hands of a JW pedo I was asked by Lloyd to take part in his film a few years ago.

well today marks the beginning and biggest day of our protest at the london excel.. we believe it's a record number at around 100 exjws at the front door.. we spoke to lots of jw's and one young man studying who has quit after talking to us.

we've been approached privately by jw's who thanked us for coming and the security at the event treated us very well.. if anyone wants to see some clips they are available on my channel the great apostate.. thanks to all for the support and love..

It really was a great weekend and yes lots of people approached us and thanked us. A lot came up out of curiosity too asking us questions and within minutes had 'attendants' come up and usher them away! Mind control and feet control in action.

There were also lots and lots photographing us, I was astounded to see so many JWs taking such an interest.

But it wasn't just all about the JWs that were there. A lot of members of the public came up to us, there were of course other events at the ExCel centre and they were impressed with our protest, and they have now been given information to arm them in furthering our message.

All in all, it was a memorable and I believe momentous few days.

Disfellowshipped/disassociated – How did your parents handle it?

by Richard_I in

to those who were disfellowshipped/disassociated – how did your still-in parents handle it?.

i don’t want to fade, so i am thinking about disassociating soon – i don’t care if i’m playing by the org’s rules, i just want out.. however, i am concerned about how my parents will react.

i don’t want them to become super depressed or whatever due to me leaving the org.. i don’t want them to be hurt by my decision to leave the org, but i feel like there is no way of avoiding this..

My JW parent stopped all communication the day she found out I had DA'd. She no doubt is used as an example of a 'faithful' person and believes I will die.

Hello from Scotland - it has been ages....

by The Scotsman in

jw
friends

well how the devil is everyone?

i have not been here for a long time........totally lost track of what is going on in jw land, apart from the little bits i hear from family members still in.

(they say everything is swell and that armageddon is just round the corner).... :).was hearing that anniesland congregation in glasgow has been (or is about to be) disbanded.

happy@last

I believe because Anniesland hall is so old and has been in need of demolishing for years it's reached it's end of being useful. I heard the cong had a large donation when one of their members died so therefore at the moment some may remember that and grumble if the money went to Kelvin. Don't forget though Kelvin has foreigh language congs there too so the hall is in constant use!

I met up with some of the Greenlees recently, all well and good and enjoying freedom

Faith to Faithless XJW event London, UK

by Fe2O3Girl in

description.

we often come across jehovah's witnesses near station entrances and at our front doors, but we never hear about what happens when they leave.

if you're near london, uk, faith to faithless are doing their first ever event at kings college london, and their first ex jw panel!.

happy@last

It was great to have been part of this event, I've already had a busy inbox from ex JWs who now want to speak out after attending or seeing these videos.

I want to be a JW but they seem to hate me? Help!

by Alostpuppydog in

just going to give a little background about myself and then bring anyone who is reading this up to speed with where i am today:.

growing up in a family that was not aware of jehovah's witnesses at all, as none of my family members have had a run-in with them other than my parents, my entire life has been a mess ever since we met them.

the witnesses first came to my door when i was 12 and my dad started bringing me to meetings and we even lived with a witness family for a month when we were both homeless due to my parent's divorce.

happy@last

Your teacher did a good thing telling you to get professional help, it is unusual for that to come from an elder. You need to accept the help from the doctors and I would recommend looking for some support groups that have meetups. There are a lot of people who are not associated with the witnesses who would understand what you are going through.You have been through a lot and are still surviving, well done.

Wishing you all the best.

HELP needed from folks in UK, esp. in Scotland!

by WTS Archive in

jw
friends

tl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.

please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).

ps.

happy@last

There's few exJWs here in Scotland but not that many activist type, most leave and turn their back on it altogether. I'm in Glasgow if it helps.

Interview with Jehovah's witnesses

by John Doe64 in

hello i am john a student of naperville north high school.

in a comparative religion project we have to research a branch of christianity mine being jehovah's witness and do an interview so this is out to all jehovah's witnesses or former jehovah's witnesses.. what do you enjoy about being jehovah's witness and what do you enjoy the least?.

what is communion like for jehovah's witnesses?.

happy@last

Most JWs would not be able to answer these questions honestly for you, I am trying to think what a more liberal JW would say, it's a few years since I've been one but here goes:

-----------

What do you enjoy about being Jehovah's witness and what do you enjoy the least?

Being a part of an international brotherhood / going door to door

What is communion like for Jehovah's witnesses?

We do not have communion

What is your important belief as a Jehovah's witness?

The good news of god's kingdom

How has being a Jehovah's witness affected your life?

It has protected me from satan's world

What are your stances on homosexuality, abortion, and divorce?

We do not agree with any of the above, only divorce where adultery has been commited.

----------------

Hope this helps, I can't believe how blind these people are despite having been one
