Time to Topple the Emperor with no Clothes

Even though the thought of James Lloyd Evans without clothes is repulsive, it's time this Emperor is exposed in the community of Jehovah's Witnesses and those who have left.

As many know, Lloyd Evans used to be known as John Cedars and now has gained popularity on YouTube and goes by the name of Lloyd Evans even though James is his real first name but sometimes in the Welsh culture, they are given three names but use only the middle and last. I have no idea about Evans' ethnicity and it's not relevant anyway.

His own family, meaning primarily his own father and sister, have completely separated from Evans when he was outed in their own Kingdom Hall many years ago in England. Reports that came out of his hometown were that Evans was sexting girls and women in the Kingdom Hall. He allegedly sent photos of his private parts to women in the Kingdom Hall when he was serving as an Elder and married. Later it was alleged, he met up with another sister in the Hall and had sex, while Evans was a married Elder in the congregation.

The Elders had to oust the pervert and kick him out as an Elder. Then Evans cried that he was shunned, his wife went back to her home in Croatia and Evans followed her and avoided a Judicial Committee meeting to disfellowship him in his Kingdom Hall back home in England.

Then Evans gets on YouTube to cry victim and the Elders in the Croatian Hall were going to disfellowship him but he wrote a disassociation letter and left the organization before he could be fired, in a sense.

Now, the perverted deviant has done it again with him being outed on the Internet, on Reddit, on YouTube as cheating on his wife once again and Evans admits it but says he needed to go to Thailand because he apparently needed a break and was suicidal and allegedly banged some whores in Thailand over the Christmas and New Year's holiday sans the wife and kids [obviously].

Here are some excerpts from the Goodreads.com website of comments from real people who have purchased his 50 lbs book of nothing, filled with plagiarized information that he downloaded from the Internet about the history of the Watchtower and slapped his name on it as the author.

KM Marie YouTube channel has shared a video from the Fateful Slave YouTube Channel that expertly provides an opinion of the latest Evans scandal with the hookers in Thailand and how we should be concerned about this as Evans is the self-proclaimed leader of the ex-JW community when he's a fake. It's time to fire the Thailand Tom Cat.

Following are excerpts from real comments taken from Goodreads.com as commentary on Lloyd's book, "The Reluctant Apostate" when it should have been titled, "The Grifting Apostate."

When is Lloyd going to return the donations he collected for a Spanish version of his book? When is he going to return the donations he collected for a lawsuit he would be filing against some persons in the ex-JW community? He's a fake, folks.

You don't need a narcissist to help you leave a narcissistic organization. You can leave the Watchtower on your own and I invite you to continue to read this blog and access the KM Marie YouTube channel.

Temples of Worship

A former Temple to Jehovah in Woodland Hills, CA, now sold.

Throughout human history there has been a harnessing of energy from the masses of human beings, what with wars, disease, famine, the deaths of famous Hollywood celebrities and national icons, all created to harness our energy. 

Then, what comes next is the monument to that harnessing of energy or to that modern-day god or goddess that demands our worship.

It started in mythological times when all the gods and goddesses had temples erected to honor and worship them. They wanted the masses of humans to worship them on a huge scale, and for the monument to last through the ages. Interestingly, our modern-day monuments are being destroyed, the monuments to our political leaders are being destroyed. Much like what happened in ancient times with only relics from the past surviving, maybe bits and pieces of an old statue or monument from some lost civilization.

We saw the 9/11 monument built after the tragedy at the WTC in New York City, a monument to the harnessing of all that energy through the terror of people dying in the fire and rubble. It's how you die that's important to certain negative beings, whether you believe them to be Satan and his Demons or some other negative forces. That huge monument to those who died during the 9/11 attacks in NYC and in Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., is an eternal energy beacon that emits a forced remembrance to that tragedy and never-ending harnessing of that negative thought or emotion that comes from that monument.

What is next is a monument to all those who have/will die from the global Covid-19 pandemic, another energy harvesting event. It can't just be a small local event, but something catastrophic that will continue to harvest energy for a very long time and well into the future. That's why some spiritual gurus will tell you to turn your energy away from something to get it to eventually implode on its own force. Ignore something, turn away, get out of the area, away from a bad situation or negative energy force in your life whether it's people or places, and you will see yourself begin to blossom.

For example, can we ever be free of spinning about the death of Marilyn Monroe? What temple or monument is in her honor? It's the eternal worship of her as a deity, the Screen Goddess of Hollywood. Same with Princess Diana, can we ever be free from her legacy of nothing? She loved parading around posing for pictures with the dead and dying people in hospital beds, but you say, okay, that was awesome she did that. Diana was harnessing their energy, their worship. She now has a Temple in her honor like any Goddess of ancient times. 

Some say Diana was an ancient spirit that reincarnated in this time period. She knew the way she would die, that they would kill her in a car accident but it won't be an accident. How did she know? She's an ancient spirit that saw her life, beginning to end, and some say, she has reincarnated before with a very short life, but one lived to the full with much wealth beyond our imaginations. Surely, Diana was the top of the heap in human history, born into wealth and then marrying into the British Royal Family with anything at her fingertips she wanted. Men, yachts, jewels, you name it, and she had it. The harnessing of her energy was great by those spirits incarnated as humans on earth and those long dead in the spirit realm. Diana died in pain and terror, the globe came to a standstill, obsessing day and night about her death. Her boyfriend's father [once the Chairman of Harrods] placed a monument and memorial to the death of Diana and Dodi in Harrods Department Store.

Notice all religious and secular holidays have been abolished this year and only the political or patriotic holidays remain. Why? It's a harvesting of sadness, depression over those lost in war or the death of a political figure. It's a global depression of the human spirit, it does not uplift or promote joy or celebration. Notice the Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) do not celebrate any holidays, only the death of Jesus Christ since their god Jehovah hates Jesus and the worship of Jesus. Most churches are the worship of Jesus, who some believe is the Almighty God. But the point is, the JWs fall in line with the worship of sadness, the obsession over the negative aspects of life. Even this year, St. Patrick's Day was banned with all the bars and clubs shut down due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Interesting, right? No joy, only fear and sadness is what these negative entities feed on.

Since Covid-19 hit the shores of the United States, just about every business and church was shut down and are opening up again to the public. However, the JWs remain shut down as of this writing. Their Kingdom Halls, little buildings to honor that lesser god known as Jehovah, are basically empty, only used for special circumstances. The membership now look like caged chickens crammed on a computer screen attending the weekly meetings via Zoom or some other video conferencing Internet service.

It's been talked about that the JWs now want to invest only in large Assembly Halls to honor their god Jehovah. All deities want temples, and many of those temples are still in evidence around the globe. Many ancient temples were used for human sacrifices to harness the energy and satisfy the bloodthirsty gods. Jehovah is no different. He loves seeing all those JW chickens crowded on a Zoom screen looking like idiots waiting for the slaughter, whether real via disease or denying themselves medical treatment by refusing a medical blood transfusion or just dying of fright or of their own shadows.

All the active JWs are sitting in fear of either dying from Covid-19 or dying from its side-effects or just sitting home terrified to leave the house due to the horrible disease that is waiting just outside their door to snag them while the JW Leadership tell them that Armageddon is nigh. Oh brother, can we take such harnessing of negative physical energy? Will Jehovah finally satisfy his bloodlust? That's what it's all about, the harnessing of negative energy. Jehovah is the god of this system of things, cast out of heaven by the Source of all life, whether you believe it's an energy, a group of beings, whatever.

I know, many are terrified right now, not just religious people who think Jesus is arriving in a cloud any day now to free us from this global pandemic and we're covering our faces in fear. Our faces being covered up is another way to cause fear and anxiety for just simply going to fill up our cars with gasoline. It's a way to increase that panic and anxiety feeling when we normally would be fairly calm going about our business.

The advice right now is to let go of the fear, turn off the news, and especially, turn off that JW channel right now. They are channeling dead spirits that want your energy and it works since this religion is finding a way to survive even though masses of people have already left and are not returning. Their material energy source [money] is drying up too. They need to harness the negative energy from the membership that think they can buy their way into heaven or a paradise on earth. Many are selling off homes, going into hiding, sending their cash to the Society in New York, with the JW Leadership hoping their life of ease and wealth will continue. The JW leadership are reportedly building a media center to start their own network of shows, going online, and only have public meetings in the large Assembly Halls in the future to get that cash from people who still use coins and paper money. Some are saying they will rent out the space at the media center since most TV shows and commercial operations are going online only, only appearing on TV or computer screens, and shutting down many studios that used to house live audiences.

Now is the time to turn away from negative thoughts and emotions. You can and will survive anything that comes along. Humans have been around for quite some time and we are not going extinct. What is extinct? The ancient gods and goddesses and their monuments to nothing. Even some of the so-called martyrs for faith were all a part of covert actions to control uneducated and poverty-stricken people.

Wake up that you are more than a fear-based biological machine waiting for orders. Buck up and think about positive actions you can take now while not falling victim to fear. You will find that you can still accomplish everything you need to or want to, and still carve out a future for yourself and your family that will bring peace and prosperity to this life and the life hereafter.

Don't forget to order a copy of my book, "Past, Perish", to free yourself from that JW that's draining your energy and learn from my experiences to free yourself from the JW mindset and move on with your life. It makes a great quarantine gift for those stuck at home or stuck in their lives.

Charles Russell vs Watchtower

I guess it was the 1990s when the Internet was just getting a foothold in global communications and when we had our own personal computers at our desks at work with free rein to search about anything we wanted on the Internet. Very few had personal computers in their homes at the time, at least in my circle of friends as it was not really considered a necessity and the video games were very basic and not really interesting. So, at work was where I could start searching for anything that interested me aside from actually researching projects for work.

Let's back up a bit to what really started to wake me up to the Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) religion that I was born and raised in and never thought I would leave. It was the "Jehovah's Witnesses Proclaimers of God's Kingdom" book published in 1993 by the Watch Tower and Bible Tract Society. Oh yes, the Internet was starting to stir up trouble for many religious organizations, not only the JWs. I clicked on sites about Scientology since that religion was intriguing because of the Hollywood stars who talked about being members. Oh wait, that was a cult and many secret documents were uploaded to the world wide web that I couldn't get enough of. Then I read about the Mormons, more secret documents and people coming forward with their testimonies of secret ceremonies. Oh wait, the JWs were included on those websites. What? They are really harmless people with not much drama. Well, a lot was being revealed as in their entire basis for their beliefs was on the study of pyramids, Egyptology, they used Masonic symbols and tenets, there were links with Aleister Crowley and his Golden Dawn, and on and on.

The leaders of the Watch Tower could no longer ignore their dark roots and a bleach job was needed. Enter the "Proclaimers Book". It was a way to whitewash their history yet come clean about it and hopefully silence anyone with a website spouting all kinds of things against the Watchtower. The book revealed that Charles Taze Russell, who founded the Bible Students that became the incorporated JWs after his death, based his end of the world predictions on the measurements of the pyramids. Yeah, this book woke me up. However, the book is difficult to follow in that it is not in chronological order and ends up being an advertisement for the JWs' worldwide business operations.

But I wondered why I was never taught about the roots of my religion and I never questioned it since I thought the teachings really didn't change that much. I knew about how they used to celebrate the holidays and birthdays but so what, that was not a huge deal to me. But the Masonic connections, end of times doomsday beliefs that had many dates with 1914 being the last one that was changed to being the start of the end times, then later leading up to 1975 which the JWs now blame the membership for spreading such lies about Armageddon happening that year.

The same tactics and explanations are used
to this day regarding 1975 being the date of
Armageddon. They blamed the membership when
evidence exists across the Internet that the leadership
came up with that date and we bought it.

Pretty interesting that a self-proclaimed leader of the ex-JW community claims to know everything about Charles Russell but it's only because the original Bible Students provide funding for his YouTube channel and blog site with Watchtower PR agents supporting it as well as the only official ex-JW site since it's a fake and a misdirection to keep you busy on useless information making you feel great about staying inside those Kingdom Halls and sitting there like a fool thinking you are having one up on them. Walk out, that is what they don't want you to do. They want you sitting there thinking, oh I am so much smarter than these people, I can be awake yet attend every meeting! Hey, that's what they want you to do - walk away now; don't try to beat a cult at their own game. You will lose.

The JWs don't like that image portrayed of themselves as a bunch of Masons in a lodge that were basically ignored people who stole beliefs from the Adventists and slapped their own name on a Masonic Lodge and always met in lodges or halls down to this day. Some useless YouTuber living off his in-laws in a basement is Watchtower approved because they want to squelch drama while the Bible Students want revenge - so to speak - against the company that stills owns them. Yes, there are factions in the ex-JW community as well as with the Bible Students who are still sitting inside those Kingdom Halls and are now called JWs. You may recognize them in your area. They are the ones with the nicely groomed beards that may give public talks only in their own congregation and may be allowed to preach from door-to-door but that's it. They don't have positions of authority in the Kingdom Halls but are tolerated. Their bloodlines date back to the beginning.

http://www.info-sectes.org/tj/russel.htm

Oh it matters if the leaders of your religious society are Masons or not, most are, most religions are based on Masonic tenets. Religion is a way to control society since nonbelievers are already under the control of governments to bring an end to Christianity. Why is a pyramid on your dollar bill? Oh yeah, it's a mystery. You have to realize that if you are still a JW then you are in a doomsday religion that is making major money off of this world while the membership are banned from higher education, getting a career not just a job, starting families and building personal wealth, traveling for fun and not for Watch Tower, and the list goes on. You are serving the masters of this universe that get rich off of your fears of a doomsday. Any doomsday that may happen is eons away as nature continues and survives with or without humans. This earth is here to stay and no God is destroying anything. If this system we live in was not all created on purpose then God or Higher Beings would have stopped it eons ago to stop human suffering.

I think a good place to start on the Masonic roots of the Watchtower is with this interesting YouTube video. Pay attention to the beginning and make sure and access their channel and do a search of Freemasons or Masons on their site for their videos. It is a bit of a rabbit hole but one worth crawling inside of and digging deep into the roots of the Watchtower.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQEMII8Piik

Another excellent video is linked below about how Masons duped unsuspecting Christians into a doomsday religion and scammed them out of their dough which is still happening down to this day. Wake up to Mr. Watchtower Apologist Company Man; he is being exposed in the video link below. Yes, Mr. Basement Dweller, Charles Russell refers to Jesus as a Grand Master.

It's Sad When They Leave

Yes, very sad, but leave what? The Truth? That is the term indoctrinated Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) say when people leave their religion for good, and never wish to return. Such is apparently the case with a recent murder/suicide that is in the press right now, about a woman and her family who were former JWs and tried to start a life away from that Truth. The JW Truth is that God will bring about an earthly paradise before the generation of 1914 have died. That is, the people who were of a certain age to understand the teachings of the JWs around that 1914 date, so yes, those people are long dead and no Kingdom of God has been established here on earth.

The JW organization has no power to bring about any Godly Kingdom on earth and no power to either take your hope of an eternal life or grant you eternal life, yet that is the lofty position their leadership place themselves. It is a fantasy they sell and it is all about selling and marketing their unique belief system while pushing their agenda of gaining massive wealth and working with world leaders to keep that wealth. You see, you cannot store up treasures here on earth, only the JW leadership are allowed to do that. 

I have not researched how many JW-related suicides there have been since it is too sad for me to do that. I really don't want to know. As readers of this blog may remember, my cousin committed suicide last May on the opening day of his regional convention while his JW wife was in attendance only to come home to find him laying on the floor having taken his own life. Oh well, tsk, tsk. She was told that it is up to Jehovah whether or not he will be resurrected in that JW paradise on earth. Suddenly, a life sacrificed to that bloodthirsty God Jehovah might get him a free ticket into that paradise. It is a warped viewpoint the JWs have, and some get caught up in that thinking and can't free themselves.

Reference the blog entry:
  http://exjwquietactivism.blogspot.com/2017/06/dont-give-up.html

My cousin was born and raised in the JW Society like I was and we were very close as kids. My Aunt and Uncle had a beautiful sprawling ranch house and huge garden and I spent most of my summers with them. I have only good memories of my cousin. He was outgoing, funny, and was artistic, and even had a book published many years ago which was part of the reason I wanted my book published. I wanted my story told since the JWs keep us silent for so many years while inside the organization. I wanted to share my experiences with people who probably have no clue what the JWs are really like, and what a torturous existence it is for us kids growing up as a JW. It warps your world view and perhaps we never fully recover since it's all we knew since birth, just the teachings and constant badgering rhetoric from the JW published literature we were to read and recite back its words at all the meetings each week.

My cousin spent several years at the Watchtower farms in New York as part of his voluntary Bethel service and at its headquarters in Brooklyn. When he came back home, he was appointed as an Elder in his congregation. He married and had no children. I had no idea until after he committed suicide, that he began waking up the same time I did and was struggling to leave "The Truth". I wish I had not lost contact with him as I think maybe we could have helped each other. He was eventually deleted as an Elder and became inactive and depressed, and well, decided somehow that taking his own life was an answer to a question that only he knew.

If you are struggling to leave the JW organization, do not hesitate to reach out to a non-JW friend at work, maybe a non-JW relative, or even seek out a licensed counselor or therapist and describe how you are feeling.

I started with the self-help route and sought out an ex-JW on YouTube named Gordon Smith-Duran. His video link is in the footer of this blog. He not only helps people leaving the JWs, but he is an excellent example of someone who has successfully moved on from the organization, and moved on from obsessing about its ever-changing doctrines and policies, and developed a life free from Watchtower. He is a hypnotherapist, English and Spanish teacher, tutor, and his wife [who has never been a JW] have both formed a successful business in Spain. 

It's easy to say but difficult to do, but you can do it - what? Move away from the JWs. Stop following their every move or watching all of their videos that are shown at their regional conventions. You know whatever they have to say, is the same old rhetoric designed to instill fear and loathing of the world and be afraid of everything with only the JW Governing Body having power over life and death. They are just mortal men getting rich off of your fear and wanting to watch their every move. Nope, you can move on from that. You are stronger than you think you are.

Sometimes physically changing where you live is a major help in leaving the JWs. Literally figuring out where you want to go next will help clear your mind of the JWs' useless teachings, and start fresh in a new town, new country, learn a new language, anything you want to do is open to you now. You do not need to provide any explanation to any JW about why you left. Wait until you are ready to express yourself. You can simply say that it was no longer your Truth, that life is an open ended question, and having new, positive experiences is how we grow into reliable and healthy human beings, mentally, spiritually, and physically. Don't be afraid of religion. Don't think you have to dump God or be afraid to walk into any church. On the other hand, don't think you have to join anything, there are no rules when it comes to what you want to research about this life and if there is an afterlife beyond the grave. Many ex-JWs become atheist because that is their JW programming. JWs' believe that this life is all there is, that when you die, you are gone forever, that is, if you are not a baptized and active recruiter for the JW organization. So many fall into atheism since they think there is no hope for them when they leave the Watchtower corporation and they basically hate all religion and hate God.

Becoming a spiritual person is not anything to look down on. Spirituality and religion are two different things. Maybe that is a place you can start on your journey to free yourself from JW indoctrination. Never give up on your quest for knowledge, that is the key to happiness and it is available to all of us.

Shortcuts

Everyone is on their own path and proceeds at their own pace when recovering from anything, whether it be some sort of addictive behavior that interrupts your ability to function on a daily basis or to break free from a religious belief system. It can take almost a lifetime. I was born in and raised as a Jehovah's Witness (JW) and wish I had a shortcut to my recovery. As described in my book [note the sidebar of this blog] it took me several years to realize I had been indoctrinated into a religious cult of sorts, I know, many people don't like using that word but it was a religious order that did have its own rites, rituals, and strict belief system.

When I was first waking up from my JW indoctrination and attempting to transition away the JW organization, I went to the Internet to research the history of the JWs and how it had occult roots with the original Bible Students, and then the International Bible Students and finally its being incorporated under the new name of the Jehovah's Witnesses. There are still various different corporate names for the JW organization that can be a long and winding road that you may or may not wish to pursue.

In any event, I have come up with a snapshot of what a JW may experience in their waking up process from the JW culture. Why do people say it's a "waking up" process in the first place? Well, because you have not been taught what most people have been taught about God, creation, or evolution, about how to interact with people, and you are taught immediately that you are separate from the world and exist under a mind controlled haze of JW indoctrination via their overly produced literature spanning decades and hearing the same rhetoric from the platform in the Kingdom Halls each and every week of the year. Now, no one can grow up believing they are separate from the world, we are all humans having the same experiences with learning about this earth and how everything works and we all go to school and get jobs, etc. But the JWs are taught they are no part of the world which lumps them pretty much in the category of a cult-like society. Yes, they do call themselves "The Society" and that's how my mother used to say it when she was trying to teach me from the Bible when I was a little kid. She would say "The Society" says we cannot celebrate Christmas. Oh, okay, the Society. On and on this would go with everything in life, what did the Society say about joining a school sports team? What did the Society say about going to the movies on a Saturday? You get the picture.

Well, I hope this chart below may provide you with a synopsis of the waking up process and the stages most people go through when they move from being an active JW to an inactive one, or one that was disfellowshipped or forced to disassociate from the organization for some type of wrongdoing. It could help some people to skip over a few steps and accelerate their path to personal freedom from the Watch Tower corporation. I wish you luck and much happiness in your personal journey.

Future World

Next week we welcome in the New Year and I hope everyone is doing well and will continue to make plans to have a prosperous life away from the organization of Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs). I think this organization truly has had its day and we are seeing that it is losing its influence in our lifetime.

In December 2014, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin canceled New Year's celebrations due to a severe economic crisis, something no one would do in corporate America. They celebrate no matter what is going on in the nation. In 2017, we saw the complete ban in Russia of the JW organization with properties seized and supposedly, the Watch Tower corporation didn't see a penny from those properties they owned in that country. Yes, I have heard about wheeling and dealing with transferring deeds of properties to the JW membership and trying to hang onto what they have and hopefully sell off the properties so the Watch Tower leadership can pocket some money from those sales.

Interesting that a few years ago is when President Putin was supposedly secretly dating a very famous model and she was raised as a JW. The story goes is that her mother was a well-known dancer and had many suitors while she was a JW. She had an affair and claims to not know the father of her now-famous daughter, who she tried to raise as a JW. Yes, I think you know who I am talking about, it's the famous model Naomi Campbell, raised as a JW when she got her break in modeling and was introduced to American audiences when she had a guest spot on the Bill Cosby Show as a teenager. However, when Naomi grew up and became very famous I wonder if she acted almost like Mata Hari the dancer who was also a spy during WWI, and maybe had a small influence on the decision of President Putin in regards to the Watch Tower corporation operating freely in his country. Who knows, but we know the JWs in that country are still free to worship their own god Jehovah but they can't formally meet and have their own Watch Tower properties.

Ex-JW Naomi Campbell may have influence in Russia and
also dated the billionaire Vladimir Doronin.

There is much speculation on the Internet as to what may happen with the Watch Tower corporation, will it go on-line only, will it just shut down completely, will it downsize and struggle on for many years to come? No, I don't know and probably taking a guess would just be futile. Please know that the corporation is wealthy beyond our imaginations and it can morph into anything it wants since it has followers who live in fear day and night of a god of destruction that will kill them if they don't continue to go to the meetings, preach door-to-door, hand out JW literature, having no true friends only comrades fighting together in a figurative war against this ungodly system of things while they plod on in their lives never progressing, never changing, always under a self-imposed struggle over God vs Satan. It's all a sad cycle of self-abuse going nowhere.

I hope you continue to follow me on this blog site and hope you take some time to support me here and purchase my book if you feel so inclined. I think you will find it interesting to see how I was raised in the organization and read about a few of my personal battles and perhaps you can identify with my story.

In any case, I wish you much health and happiness in the coming year and hope you can find the courage to walk out of the JW organization and make 2018 your year to think about moving the JW policies out of your life and more of your own policies into your life. Policies that involve developing friendships at work, with your neighbors, and think about solid plans for a future right here and now on this planet. Stop thinking about some future world that may or may not exist. Whenever you stop and think about where you are in life and about planning for the future or thinking about past mistakes, you are right here and now in the present. What can you do right now that will benefit yourself? Knowledge is power, not rights, doctrines, edicts, or policies that you may rehearse and memorize and are terrified to defy. Stop and think about the here and now, and you will eventually find your heart's desire.

Speaking Out

Some ex-Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) might be feeling pressured to speak out publicly against the JW religion, whether they were evicted via disfellowshipping or walked away from the organization after becoming inactive in their congregation and are known as a "fader". 

May I suggest that you distance yourself from people who are pressuring you into any one direction. Sometimes when you initially decide to never return to the JW organization, you feel very emotional and may want to lash out at someone and feel you need to take some sort of public action. Please know that you do not owe anyone anything, you do not even owe anyone an explanation as to your personal reasons for leaving the JW organization. If you were disfellowshipped for committing some action that was deemed a crime by the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, you do not have to share that with anyone. Once you are disfellowshipped or you walked away never to return, that ended your baptismal contract with the organization. Yes, some choose to return because they want to have contact with JW friends and family and that is a personal decision. However, by staying in the organization, a person would have to face the fact they are still supporting their edicts, policies, and tenets, many of which involve letting loved ones die for refusing potentially life-saving medical procedures involving blood or blood products. Many of the JWs' policies support alleged perpetrators of abuse, whether it be against a spouse or a child and place the blame and responsibility on victims to either keep silent, or leave the organization and seek help from law enforcement and other governmental authorities deemed as coming from "Satan's world". However, again, these are personal choices. I could not stay and support a religion that has these abhorrent policies. Just by sitting in a Kingdom Hall, you are showing your support for this destructive religion even if you stopped supporting them monetarily, you are still supporting them by your presence which is something each person needs to think about.

If you are like me and faded from your JW congregation and have decided to never return, I was silent with everyone including my own family members. I simply said it is no longer my truth and left it at that. No JW Elders hunted me down or wanted a firm decision so they could mark me as an "apostate" or to force me into writing a disassociation letter, I wasn't important to the congregation being a single woman, we are at the lowest level of the pyramid. I simply left and never returned and eventually moved out of the area of my congregation and never reconnected with the congregation in my new town. I am here to encourage ex-JWs to not do anything rash when you first leave the organization. After some time, you may want to engage in some sort of anti-JW activism, whether that is talking to people at work, your relatives who may or may not be active JWs, or blogging about your own personal experiences as a JW to help others to see what the religion is really all about. If you feel like setting up a YouTube channel, you must deal with the repercussions of going into the public arena and may face criticism. But again, do not feel pressured to do any sort of public anti-JW activism.

The most important step is to first think about your own recovery from the damaging mind-controlled JW religious group and then think about if you want to engage in any sort of activism. It can be therapeutic for yourself, to share your experiences with like-minded people. But don't be forced into anything or feel inferior simply because you choose to stay quiet. 

Facing the fact that the Watch Tower corporation isn't going anywhere anytime soon with or without us so-called "activists" whether we are quiet or very loud about expressing our opinions, can help you in your decision on whether or not you want to engage in anti-JW activism. I don't say this to discourage anyone, but you've got to face reality. Even the richest people on this earth suffer heartache, loss, depression and setbacks and you are no different whether you were born in the JW organization or not, or whether you joined later and have now left. Think about healing and recovery before you go out and face the dragon, perhaps alone and unarmed.

At the end of the day, you've
got to look in that mirror and
be okay with where you are in life.

It is your personal journey to freedom that is important. Start looking at paving your own way in this life. Your happiness comes first but not at the cost of berating others, even current and active JWs have a right to stay in the religion. Turning your focus forward and not looking back at the JW religion or the people who choose to stay, is what will eventually reduce the power and influence of the JW organization. The more people who have the courage to walk out of those Kingdom Halls and never return, are the ones that have a strong impact on those still sitting there who wonder if they are in the right place after all. Your simply walking away might be that one action that will wake people up in your congregation.

Any activism you choose is to benefit yourself and your healing process. Do not think the Watch Tower corporation is going away for good, they are too wealthy for that. Even if their entire membership left today, they can survive on mountains of cash carefully invested in various banks around the globe. They will not suffer, but you will if you don't start planning your escape and think about making a life for yourself and your family right now.

Faulty Towers

The Watchtower, Bible and Tract Society has become a huge global corporation with many corporations formed under various names all owned by the Jehovah's Witness (JW) organization. They have always used a watchtower illustration on their literature and have a watchtower at their new world headquarters in Warwick, New York. They are the watchers of world events for their flock to look out for the start of a Great Tribulation that will bring about a global destruction of all non-JWs, specifically the people who refuse to join the JW religious movement or were evicted or left for whatever reason. They believe that they are the one true channel to God via Jesus, and no other organization on earth is being used by God except the JWs. This belief is faulty, and the Watchtower's power over its flock is crumbling decade after decade where enlightened people are not afraid to question its edicts, policies and beliefs that have little to do with the original intent of the scriptures.

You will recall stories of The Watchers, angels that said nothing but watched over the first humans and the affairs of man on earth. It is suggested they were the ones who looked upon the perfect women of earth and took them for their wives, all that they wanted. Since the union was not within the same species, the women gave birth to giants and some believe the women all died giving birth to these giant, overgrown newborn babies and so the fallen angels kept procreating with women. Some suggest they even mated with animals creating the mythological creatures where they were human/animal/godlike beings with special characteristics and powers beyond normal humans.

The Watchtower corporation is steeped in such mysteries and dubious roots and they are faltering, and the towers on their buildings and shown in their literature will soon be brought to nothing. The writing is on the wall as they say and a few ex-JWs did YouTube videos and talked about the Russian government banning JWs and the letter writing campaign wondering if it broke any records. Well, so far the answer is no, it broke no records at least not as far as qualifying for the Guinness Book of World Records.

JWs have always had troubles with the Russian government and the recent ban is nothing new. But this time it seems like a permanent ban and the Watchtower properties seized by the government and the liquidation of all their assets in that country. The JW leadership are headquartered in Warwick, New York, yes the "New World" headquarters, because the JWs are fully entrenched in the New World Order that is touted by the elite, ruling class of this globe and why the JW religious movement has amassed such great wealth into the billions of dollars. No one does that unless their last name is Rothschild or Rockefeller, but oh yes, this small group of Bible students that started in Pennsylvania, emerged as a new world society called Jehovah's Witnesses with some rejecting this new religion and refused to merge with the new church and stayed as Bible Students which exist to this day but are very a small group and hardly a global corporation worth a billion dollars.

So. the JW leadership issued orders that all JWs write letters to the Russian government opposing the ban and explaining they are a peace loving people, etc. Well, under one million out of the reported eight million total membership of the JWs wrote letters to Russia. So what happened here? Do the leaders simply lie about the actual number of baptized JWs? Or are they counting all JWs who are publishers? Or all JWs that are actually members of each congregation whether they are children and/or not baptized? 

In a congregation, everyone is counted at each meeting. There are always attendants taking a head count of each person there, including all children and including any so-called worldly person off the street. Everyone is counted. However, all publishers [JWs who preach from door to door distributing JW literature] have a card that is kept in each Kingdom Hall and a record is kept of the hours spent in the public ministry work. But again, what happened with the letter writing campaign to Russia? Not even one million wrote letters? Even little kids can write something and the family head can mail the letters for the family so it doesn't make sense that not even one million JWs wrote letters to the Russian government.

Well, the towers are coming down. People are waking up to this false religion every year and many are simply walking away with some boldly confronting the elders in their congregation and questioning the faulty belief system and they are getting evicted [called disfellowshipping when you are shunned by all JW friends and family and permanently considered no longer a JW].

The tower card in the upright
position means ruin, disruption,
and bankruptcy.

The Tower card in the tarot deck is the Watchtower Society in that it means confusion and chaos, and the Watchtower leadership have confused the flock for a century with their circular logic, changing doctrine back and forth where old light is recycled into new light and it goes on and on leaving everyone quite dazed, confused and zombie-like in their unquestioning devotion since they don't know what is right and wrong, only what Watchtower tells them to do and they hope they are following the new light which means following what's printed in their literature for only the past few years and discarding all past publications unless they are told otherwise by the leadership.

In some tarot card designs, the tower is shown struck by lightning. Its alternative titles are Castle of Plutus, God's House, and the Tower of Babel. In the last case, there are figures falling from the tower and are held to be Nimrod and his minister. It is assuredly a card of confusion and it can be interpreted that the House of God has been abandoned and the veil of the temple rent. It is a little surprising that it has not been allocated to the destruction of Solomon's Temple, when the lightning would symbolize the fire and sword with which the edifice was visited by the King of the Chaldeans.

Chaos is assigned the number 16. 
Reduced to seven it means change or options
with the number 7 in the deck meaning determination
and seeker of truth.

It's time to be determined to free yourself from being locked in the tower. Attaining knowledge is the key to freedom from any mind controlling society. Don't be afraid to leave the tower now and to hopefully take your loved ones with you. It is worth the effort.

Use your Chariot card and flee the Tower. Seek truth,
not religious dogma.
