Since leaving Jehovah's Witnesses I have been continuing my door to door ministry with a slight twist. I am warning people about jw's and other high control cults. I leave stickers on WT literature I find at Laundromats and doctor offices. The stickers are labeled WARNING! This literature is from a secretive, dangerous cult. Since there are many Spanish speakers in this rural community I live in I have them printed up in Spanish too for their benefit.
This afternoon around 2 PM I was out looking for people when a lady came up to me and told me to get off her street. She said she knows me from prior visits and she knows all about us jw's and that if I knew what was good for me I would leave. I smiled at her and she got really upset with me for that. She was about to go off on me when I asked her if she knew that I had left the Watchtower Cult.
She froze. She smiled and said that we needed to talk. We sat on her porch and she asked about what I am doing. When I showed her my stickers and brochures on cults and false jw doctrine she cried. She said that she had said prayers and asked God all weekend to send people to warn people about this evil cult.
She had been a victim of physical abuse by her elder husband and had fled him and the religion years before. She had no idea how to get the word out, so I told her to go to her library and access the internet and look up a site that gives ideas on how to deal effectively with cults.
I felt good. I am effecting positive change in my community and here online I am spreading the Good News, who is in fact Jesus Christ. I came home and I prayed from about 4 pm until around 7. That is the longest I have ever prayed. I cannot explain the joy and love I felt being in Jesus' presence. I felt like I would literally drown in love. I begged him to take His hand off me to spare my life.After over 40 years in the Watchtower I never prayed. Not like this. I am finally free of this cult and now I will free other trapped souls in Jesus precious Name!

- I am married with children and struggling with my life within the Watchtower. I see a lot of bad in an organization that claims it is God's Visible and Theocratic Organization. Way too much bad. After all I have seen I can no longer support the so-called faithful and discreet slave "class".

If go to the above link, you'll see that you're not the only one who has left. It's interesting why and how some people leave and the research that they do - it's simply amazing. So, while JW leaders would like to tell you that people leave because of sour grapes or something like that - it's simply not true in so many cases!
JW leaders HAVE to tell the flock that the ONLY reason someone would leave is due to selfishness, greed, lust, laziness. Of course it can never be for a good, noble reason.
Why would anybody leave the 'TRUTH' for a genuine, noble reason?
If they were to admit anything like that, they would open the floodgates to doubt and uncertainty. They have to make sure that the flock have it imprinted on their psyche that the ones who leave have been overreached by Satan.
I know. I thought exactly the same as them at one time, to my shame.
For what's it worth, i also left in 2008 because of policy's of the Governing Body of men. I was never disfellowshipped because of sin. I was disfellowshipped by policy and ideology by the men who control all 8,680,000. They are a multi billionaire religion who tell us that Be NO Part of the WORLD" When i found THEY ARE Investing in a lot of different things of business in the World i thought it was all propaganda from Jehovah's chief adversary Satin the devil. As i continued to research them i found out a lot of misconduct and hypocritical going on's. They, the Watchtower is a hungry over controlling old mans club who do things that are contrary to their teachings. The big problem is this. THEY DON'T KNOW THAT SATAN IS controlling them as they control their flock in clothes of a sheep.
The bottom line for me was when they declared the 2 witness rule on all sex assaults to woman, girls and boys must be seen by 2 or more people.
My congregation Elders and the CO didn't know what to do with me as I calmly expressed my point of views on this and wouldn't keep quite about it, so the CO told the PO to call the BRANCH OVERSEER and he told them I was a cancer and must be disfellowshipped.
I left [with my wife and 2 children still a member] and walked away. To this day my ex wife divorced her for several reasons] which i had to divorce and 1 son, 12 yrs now] still haven't spoken despite my many efforts to bring us together as a family.
I still have strong heart for Jehovah and his Christ and wished i had a good smart, educated woman who knows the difference of "TRUTH vs Lies" through manipulation.
