Someone on my tiktok comments: “you have to be disfellowshipped to be exjw.” I’m like no, I’m not disfellowshipped and I am an ex-Jehovah’s Witness. They’re like: “no that’s impossible.” Like they genuinely think you can’t decide yourself to leave.
@NewyorkerRican
I actually don’t think he was aggressive. To me he sounds extremely frustrated. I’m not sure if he’s a former jw or a random “worldly” I suppose it leads me to ask - is it everyone’s responsibility to reason with them? Or to wake them up?
Current JW & an ex-JW at the same event. Can you tell by the modesty of their dress which is the JW? Wait - a JW would have zero business being at an event like this right?

exactly one year ago today, I stumbled upon the exjw subreddit and began my journey out of the
#jehovahswitnesses
cult.
I will be doing a tiktok/reel series about what lead me to reddit/how I left

Really odd that a newly baptised Jehobahs Witness starred in not one but TWO alcohol commercials during a famous event supporting competitive sports. The hypocrisy. Ain’t no way a normal JW would get away with anything near this whole mess.
26 September 2020. This was the day I “woke up” from the Jehovah’s Witness religion. It’s been 2 years. It’s still a mindfuck. I was pimo until February 2021 when I finally left via social media. What a ride.
Just a couple of 2022 wins:
-Officially became a dog groomer!
-Learned to stand up for myself & hold boundaries
-Reconnected with “worldly” family
-Exjw content went viral on tiktok
-Sorted my financial situation
-Helped people online & irl to leave the cult
I miss having a large friend network some days. I want to go on silly adventures and share it with people. Or even just having someone to chill with on rainy days.

39 seconds in and they’ve said Jehovah directed the governing body’s decision to resume in person meetings. Tell me again how they’re not “inspired by god”?

Instead of going to a memorial tonight, I had cider and charcuterie with my “worldly” friends while we watched the sunset at the beach. It’s only my second ever year of not attending. Oddly I can’t seem to feel any kind of way about it. 🧀🍷
Something that’s been on my mind recently. I didn’t “lose my faith” I examined it, and discarded a belief system that is not based in reality, kindness or love. I very purposefully threw my faith away. It’s not lost.

This person is not an exjw. She has now personally attacked me in this video. She may be a victim - but she is not helping exjw women or csa survivors - she does not deal in facts or logic.
I don’t get people who comment things like “JWs aren’t the only religion that does this {insert harmful practice}” like okay?? Why do you have to be so dismissive? Let people talk about things sheesh.
#Lloydgate
has prompted me to come forward with some personal information: despite my sexually repressive JW upbringing, I continue to retain complete mastery over my vagina. Thank you & goodnight 🧚🏻♀️
Does anyone have copies of the talk outlines? This one in particular was extremely detailed - no period sex, no anal, no oral, no animals, no self love. Oh and no refusing your male partner.
#exjw
@abcnews
the JW spokesperson flat out lied in response to your article featuring
@ali_l_millar
. They don’t have “a list” of “objectionable clothing”. But they do produce videos such as this one below. Tell me that’s not manipulating audiences to not dress a certain way? /1
Hey
#EXJW
peeps! The women aren’t keeping silent anymore! Had the pleasure of being part of a panel discussing that awful talk, it premieres on Sunday! Check out Wendi Renay on YouTube ✨
So apparently all the JWs up in my tiktok comments are dating worldly people, have visible tattoos & piercings, beards & unnatural hair colors, are doing spicy things in the bedroo- all the while preaching going to meetings and used at assemblies etc 🤯 1/
I cannot express how much I loathe being told to ‘just move on with life’ as if all I did was fall over in public. No. I was emotionally and mentally manipulated by people I thought were friends. I was 5 when my family joined the cult.
Found this:
TLDR: he works nights, needs to sleep during the day asked them not to come. They didn’t come for 4 years. He also had a JW coworker who told him being gay is an abomination. Now here they are, he’s pissed & wants to make a lasting impression so they don’t come back!
Okay another question for the exjw community- I’ve just been told my experience of therapy being heavily discouraged is unique. I’m sure this is not the case and I can recall articles and talks to that effect. Does anyone else remember?
I’m going to go live on TikTok on the 24th so if anyone feels angry or alone we can hang out and chill. 🫶🏻

I am officially a dog groomer 🤩
It’s been incredibly hard, as I woke up about a week before I started as a bather. I’ve been learning & unlearning for the last year and a half. Done is better than perfect 🧚🏻♀️
#exjw
The irony of an organization that actively participates in toxic silent treatment and slander of ex members is PAYING “satans agents” (their words lmao) to promote their anti bullying propaganda - there are no words 🤣🤥🤡💀
Dear JWs,
The membership status of the predator is far more important than that of the survivor of CSA.
Was he baptised? Do you claim him?
Why do you protect abusers and try to silence victims? Hardly a loving (or sane) thing to do. 🫳🏻 🎤
In a statement to the MailOnline “Jehovah’s Witnesses” said that Vardy had never been one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
She was never baptized as one but she was raised as one.
#bestlifeever
is Jehovah’s Witness propaganda. It’s a huge lie! How can an organisation - that covers up CSA on a global scale, that shuns people who leave, that forces people to hide who they are, and is a toxic breeding ground for depression and anxiety - how on earth is - 1/2
Did it hurt? When you realised the governing body was lying to you, and so you left the Jehovah’s Witness organization/cult and your entire social network stopped talking to you?
Why, when some men leave the org they cling on to the misogyny & even double down on it? 🤢 like you freed yourself from the racism & homophobia but still wanna be sexist? (Reminder; don’t call women “females”, automatic 🚩) /1
Has anyone heard of JWs not being allowed to sell cigarettes or lotto while employed at a supermarket or similar workplace? Someone just commented on my vid saying this was a rule. I worked in a supermarket and sold both. No elders ever said anything to me about it?
Good morning
#exjw
fam!
Question-
What’s the weirdest thing you believed as a JW?
(Inspired by the post deconstructing_exjw made on instagram about ribs)
What are some things weird or random things
#JehovahsWitnesses
do or believe that the general public may not know? Like how sometimes they make a woman put a tea towel on her head to pray etc.
This is bizzare given that you are a baptised Jehovahs Witness- at the core of this religion they believe women are weaker than men, and was founded and led by men that believe black people would turn white once they reach perfection. Something they have not corrected.
@Bharistocrat
There’s obviously nothing wrong with their outfits but absolutely not something a “good”jw would find acceptable let alone actually wear in public. Again my point is the hypocrisy of Serena’s lifestyle now that she’s a baptised jw.
I’m going to go live on TikTok on the 24th so if anyone feels angry or alone we can hang out and chill. 🫶🏻
