ExJW Quiet Activism: Is the Light Getting Brighter?

Yes, the light is getting brighter as a massive global spotlight is now being directed at this man-made fake religion called Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs). It does not matter whether you were born into the JW religion or how you came to know the religion, it will affect different people in different ways. All I can speak about is my own personal experience as being born into this religion. My mother was converted by her sister who fervently believed the end of this world was right around the corner because she was dying of a terminal illness. The only "end" that happened was her own. Though it was never spoken about freely, my mother's sister believed that she was one of the "anointed class" of people who would be going to heaven.

The JWs teach there are two classes of people, a group anointed by God consisting of a literal number of 144,000 people who are going to heaven and the rest of us, all destined to live on a paradise earth under the rule of these heavenly guardians, princes, whatever lofty position they have deemed they are worthy of according to their ever changing new light. A group of JW elders living on earth that are not of the anointed class, will be our governors, mayors, police, whatever, and will rule over us on planet Earth forever reading Watchtower literature with a bowl of fruit on a table as we watch an endless parade of giraffes and lions walk on the lawns of our manufactured homes wondering who is going to clean up the mess. Sort of like a Gilligan's Island TV show as each person devises new ways of using pineapples and baking lemon meringue pies as the women buzz around the men hoping to make life happy and content while trapped on an island with nothing to do but think about escaping.

Mom became a JW and quickly converted my dad and studied the blue book to prepare for baptism that many might be familiar with, called "The Truth that leads to Eternal Life". The "Truth" book as it was commonly called, is now a part of the scrapheap of old and discarded books of the JW church, old light, long forgotten and is considered garbage by the JWs much like what happens to all of their literature and what happens to people who dare leave the church, they are viewed as garbage.

Governing Body helper Kenneth Flodin appeared in a video in February 2016 on the official site of the JW's (tv.jw.org), and likened people who walk away from the JW religion and reject the Governing Body as their mediator between God and man, as garbage. Kenneth Flodin is one of the men who believe they are anointed by God and will soon take over as a member of the Governing Body as the existing ruling class eventually die and need to be replaced. The Governing Body are the top ruling class of men who are sitting on decades of dough that have been amassed from their dead and dying flock of pigeons while they continue to scare people into thinking they can pay their way into a new system of things on earth by signing over all of their valuables, cash, real estate, everything, to the Governing Body of men in New York.

If you want to stir up some sleeping demons, just bring up any of the old literature that has long been burnt up in the ashes of what the JW's call "old light", as in old junk that is ready to be dumped into a landfill. The JWs will get insanely angry and run from you, never admitting that it was made up drivel written by a group of men from each past decade, containing their own bizarre interpretations of world events and devising ways of how to hook and sink yet another generation of misguided and ignorant people.

Was it all bad growing up in this controlling, all-consuming JW religion? My experience? Yes, it was horrible. Many experiences I will be relating here in the future. Was there anything good that came out of it? I have not identified anything "good" in an evil religion, with a mindset of making lots of money, scaring people that everything on earth will be destroyed, including millions of people who reject the man-made teachings of a religious cash grab corporation, which is getting richer with each decade. The leadership makes sure the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is the beneficiary of all of their members' valuable possessions, real estate, etc., while each generation is targeted with new fears and superstitions, that carry on from generation to generation until at least one person in each family has the courage to stop the madness that is the JW culture and unrelenting control of a warped view of Bible scriptures and world events.

Yes, the light is getting brighter among the masses of the captives of the JW culture who have finally found the courage to stop being scared, who have stopped giving their life away to the worship of men who are just flesh and blood, having no special insights, powers, knowledge or gifts, just men endlessly trying to figure out how to enslave a lost group of people in search of a way out of dealing with everyday life. Never stop looking for new opportunities to live, learn, and discover the many wonderful things that we have access to right now.

Don't be afraid to hop on that freeway and join the thousands of people fleeing the JW prison camps called Kingdom Halls and who are finding the freedom and adventure that awaits all of us.
