You are here because the universe believes in you. You are here because the universe thought you are an excellent notion. Are you really trying to say that the same thing that put every star in that night sky you love so much is wrong?

JWs: We dont force our kids to get bapitized like other religions do
*forces kids go to every meeting twice a week, go out door knocking every week, stops talking to them when they grow up and decide they dont want to be a JW*
If you have to give up your freedom to live in his paradise, then it’s not a paradise worth living in. #thingstoconsider
If you have to give up your FAMILY to live in his paradise, then it’s not a Paradise worth living in.
That is so fucking important ^
Kids of Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t get enough credit for surviving.
Everyone thinks that the Witnesses are just really pious, and sure, they might take their religion more seriously than most people but they’re honest and hardworking and harmless.
No one sees how toxic the environment is.
If you grew up as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses: it is ok to hate them. Ignore people who say “oh, you’re being too hard on them” or “but they’re such nice people!”
IT IS OK TO HATE THEM.
PSA to ex JWs still living with Jehovah's Witnesses:
The end is not coming. The world is not ending. Everything will be ok. Going to college is worth it. Your hopes and dreams are not futile. Chase them. Follow your goals. If you don’t have those, it’s ok. You have time to make goals. You have time to hope and dream. Everything will be ok. The world is not ending. The end is not coming.
This has been a PSA.
What really sucks about being raised in a Christian cult is getting panic and anxiety attacks when you see positive posts about Christianity or some aggressive street preacher screaming about sinners or being handed some brochure. Like, I didn’t choose this and I can’t get away from it and I can’t control it.
I just laugh at their ignorance. I'm finally free from their controlling bs. Even if my family finds out and they cut me out I'm still free.
Do you know the only people who don’t like my purple hair ? My jw family. Apparently Jehovah said in the bible that purple hair was sinful. No, wait, that’s the Governing Body or Organization or whatever they call themselves now.
To my fellow current and future ex JWs
When you leave, expect to deal with coming to terms with these issues:
Feeling like you missed out and/or wasted your time
Feeling behind where you should be
Not being allowed to explore potential dreams in early life
Not letting guilt make decisions for you
Not letting fear make decisions for you
Issues with identity
Tearing down your former ideas
Rebuilding new ideas
Social interaction vs social isolation
Second guessing your decisions or decision making skills/indecisiveness
Trusting yourself
Repressed sexuality
Forever feeling like an outsider or feeling more comfortable being an outsider
Relating to others, especially your peers
Cutting people out is not a normal behavior
Education
Feeling responsible about how others choose to react to you or your behavior
Being highly susceptible to guilt
Black and white thinking
Unconditional vs conditional love
These are just a few things that I can think of, that still cause problems for me constantly. Some are normal issues that everyone goes through, but some are compounded by what you go through specifically after leaving the JW’s (in my opinion). Some of these things are still new concepts to me. Some of these things take time.

CARTOONISH RUBE LMFAO
Jehovah’s Witnesses love to complain about the “theory” of evolution being taught as fact, and then proceed to spout the “we only use ten percent of our brain” myth as good science.
Jehovahs witnesses love to complain about the "theory" of evolution being taught as fact, and then proceed to spout the "God created everything" with a book written by sexist, power hungry, egoistical men as good scientific evidence. 😂
If you have to give up your freedom to live in his paradise, then it's not a paradise worth living in. #thingstoconsider
When will witnesses realise they are following dictators! A bunch of old men that set the rules. Seriously they come up with stuff that ISN'T EVEN IN THE BIBLE! At an assembly the speaker said WOMEN SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO WERE SANDALS BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE THEIR FEET! I ACTUALLY DIED SHITTING MYSELF!!

THEYRE SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEE
THIS. MAKES. ME. PHYSICALLY. ILL.
(Member of The Governing Body of Jehovah’s Witnesses talking about their strong stance against child abuse when they have been covering up cases for decades.)
For those of you that don’t know I was raised as a Jehovah’s Witness. I know people whose abuses they’ve covered up, both children, and adults. They sent out memos to congregations telling them not to report sexual abuse cases. It is sick and disgusting, and this asshole has the nerve to lie straight to everyone’s face.
If you watch the rest of this you will also see him try and shame homosexuals and refer to them as child molesters. You will also see a “psa” entitled “protect your children” in which they tell children their conscience should tell them when an adult is doing something inappropriate, and considering they indoctrinate in their members that a conscience equals guilt and shame they are basically doing the work of keeping the kids quiet for the offender.
I just got so mad when I saw this.
Ex-JW Memes: “I am more frustrated than a JW that…”
You know what they say:
I’m so glad that the years of being a JW are behind me. Sigh.
