Hi Everybody. It's the "morning after"....first of all, thank you to all the beautiful people out there who've said prayers, sent texts and messages, and given me strength and hope during a trying time. oh!...and I'm still not disfellowshipped!....it just keeps getting weirder........ Last night I walked into an ambush...but if we can all learn anything..it's to not underestimate just how low the #JehovahWitness #elders are being trained to stoop. Should any of these men ever wake up from the witch hunt they are participating in, I will be the first to welcome them into my home and heart with open hearts. #Forgiveness is a powerful force. I didn't have the energy to talk as we were driving to the kingdom hall and this was the first CD (yes...I still use CDs...lol) I found...and playing that song seemed rather ironic and appropriate...especially today as I think about the lyrics. Please fast forward to the 5:00 mark to skip the song (or go and do the dishes while listening to the song.) Today I'm just too tired...but I'll probably go back and listen and leave some minute marks that were "interesting" to me. I feel very drained today. But if I....we get anything from this recording it's this: The Jehovah's Witness religion is currently banned in Russia (and other lands) and the leadership is protesting this ban with great enthusiasm and vigor under the subheading #religiousfreedom But do Jehovah's witnesses themselves grant the same freedom to others that they demand for themselves. The answer is a big NO. So even if you are an atheist (Shalom to you!) or any other belief system, this recording should be of interest to you because it highlights the hypocrisy of an organization that calls themselves "Christian." Watchtower is revealing the next level of "beheading"...they are skipping their entire "judicial process" (apparently I don't even have the option of appealing this nonsense...which perhaps is a blessing in disguise...because I'm truly happy about moving forward) and now telling people that "You've disassociated yourself." Ok...so if that is true...why do I need to be #shunned by my family and friends for exercising MY freedom of thought and belief. Why is silencing and shunning JW.org SOP? Shunning is cruel and unusual. Many Jehovah's Witnesses have committed suicide or medicated with drugs and alcohol and self abuse as a result of being ostracized. Please help me bring awareness to this very cruel practice. Thank you for watching ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuXGRRjTW70

Good morning! I hope everybody watching this is doing well. It's been a crazy week. Life is full of surprises. I went to the Kingdom Hall on Sunday for the #Watchtower study on child sex abuse policies and after the meeting I had a conversation with 2 elders. They "accused" me of sounding like a #Christian and told me where the door was. That's fine. On Thursday of this week I contacted those same elders to inform them that if they #Disfellowship me in absentia, I will be appealing. You may be wondering why I even care about this? Why don't I just move on and ENJOY my #freedom !! I care because I hate seeing injustice and I hate seeing bullies bully people unchecked. I know I'm just one drop in the bucket...but this little drop is going to make a splash...for all the other people who've had their mouths gagged and their feet bound with rocks so they feel like they have to just sink to the bottom in silence. I actually thought it was ok and normal to let these men bully me. It's theological abuse. We are living in unique times...people from many different subcultures, cults, tribes, and other groups of #dysfunction are #wakingup and realizing that #humanrights are being abused...because we used to allow these people to carry along unchecked. This is my platform for transparency and checks and balances. I'm truly not interested in shaming these men (although some of the things they said in this video are pretty shameful, in my opinion) I hope we all wake up and realize that we've been hurting each other and ourselves all along. Prayers for JWsuicides Healing prayers for Pro1Theologist High Five for Jonas of Goatlike Personality Thank you to the JW elders of a Latin American Country near and dear to my heart. (these men ARE rising above...they are walking their talk) Prayers and support for Eric Wilson...a very brave man who is facing the Goliath Watchtower with only one STONE in his waist belt: #Jesus #Christ There is HOPE. "There are more for us than against us" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xl4NSj_eLQg

Hello! I've wanted to interview Miriam for a while now. I met Miriam back in 2015ish...when I knocked on her door and conducted "return visits" with her then husband Ted. They met with me over coffee several times in the months that followed as I was waking up from my indoctrination with Watchtower. Miriam is a prayer warrior. I won tickets to the #RyderCup and Miriam and I had a spontaneous girl's morning out at Whistling Straights in Kohler Wisconsin. We had so much fun. The crowds were amazing, the scenery was beautiful and the company was perfect. I am continually blown away when I think about how different my #EXJW brain processes ideas, people, and beliefs compared to my #ChristianFreedom brain. I NEVER want to return to an organization that teaches people....teaches innocent children...... to view anybody who isn't in their legalistic bubble as "worldly", "bad association" and other horrible names. I love people now. Also...I would like to make it perfectly clear that Miriam and I were totally joking around when we did that news interview (I hope it didn't air!)....another part of my life post Watchtower is taking myself way less seriously and laughing with and at myself. Life is short...spend more time laughing and celebrating!! Please leave any questions and comments below for Miriam...I look forward to interviewing her. Shalom! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ayZPZzotU

Every individual Jehovah's witness does have power. For years we gave our power, free will, sense of justice, family privacy, and humanity to the leadership of #JehovahsWitnesses. We shunned our parents, children, friends, and family. Is #shunning Biblical? Please subscribe to Chessa's channel....she is a very hardworking, creative ExJW activist and we all want her to be able to livestream, etc with youtube. Here is her channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtDZds1i6pXyE7WOQr6HzDg Even though #Watchtower denies that shunning is a real thing, there are literally thousands and thousands of stories of shunning and the wreckage it leaves in its wake. I had a conversation with Robert Hendriks, media Spokesman for Watchtower and he literally said that "shunning is a personal choice" and he said it would be "unfair for Jehovah's Witnesses to NOT shun a person who leaves the organization." Wrap your head around that one. Listen to my conversation with Mr Hendriks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_75gplWPL8&t=847s But there's good news!... Shunners can stop the shunning, and in this video my mom shares some of her feelings on this subject. Imagine if every Jehovah's witness just decided to stop this hateful practice. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGoPJF_s93A
