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.

Watchtower Spy?

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) has released a public document about investigations into abuse and were reviewing applications and renewals of applications for persons who wanted to be involved in the investigation into the Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) as core participants, not just as observers or providing anecdotal material. The IICSA is independent of government and focuses primarily on England and Wales for their investigations.

One such application to be a core participant in the proceedings was for the YouTuber, James Lloyd Evans or Lloyd Evans, a.k.a., John Cedars, who would pull the plug immediately on his channel if YouTube stopped monetizing videos. Oh wait, he does badger his viewers constantly for money when the man does not work for a living, and never has, at least nothing is detailed in his almost 600 page manifesto he published using other people's money, including his wife's and JW in-laws' money. He is a house-husband that lives in his JW in-laws' basement and comes up for air when they leave the house. He has detailed their shunning him inside his home? Uh no, inside THEIR home. 

Evans also receives alleged funding from the Bible Students and Scientologists, who he had alleged ties with from the start of his rise to ex-JW fame and not much fortune. It's been alleged he joined the Scientologists and networked with the likes of Mike Rinder. Both Rinder and Evans were ousted from their respective organizations. The Scientologists have a core study and marketing model of using surveys to expand their business opportunities which was how Evans first marketed his blog calling it JW Survey.

To put this into context, reference this recent YouTube video talking about the IICSA and wanting to move forward with investigating the JWs' policies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0dv-_-t--c

A link to the IICSA document is referenced in the YouTube video above, and is copied here:

https://www.iicsa.org.uk/key-documents/12997/view/preliminary-hearing-transcript-23-july-2019-.pdf

Excerpts:

Page 47

"You know from his application that Mr Evans is a former member and a former elder of the Jehovah's Witnesses. That in itself is valuable experience which many others may not have, but he is also a great deal more than that. He is somebody, I think it's right to say, who is the only full-time ex-Jehovah's Witness advocate in the world. His day job solely involves keeping abreast of the latest developments within the Jehovah's Witnesses across the board, across the whole spectrum of the religion, but also including, specifically, its policies on child sex abuse and how these are impacting on the lives of victims and survivors. We set out in the application his extensive writings and his extensive documentary films on exactly those issues, and the simple fact is that nobody is spending as much time as he is on analysing what's going on in the Jehovah's Witnesses now and nobody has written  and researched it as extensively as he has."

Page 48

"...Mr Evans is, so his knowledge and his huge expertise is crucial if this inquiry is to be a meaningful inquiry...So, chair, that's the basis of our application. We say that it's simply wrong to say that Mr Evans doesn't have a significant interest. The work that he does, the research that he has done, the publications that he's written, the documentaries that he's made, all  demonstrate not only that he has a significant interest and has played a significant role, but he has probably done so to a far greater extent than almost any other ex-Jehovah's Witness activist worldwide and, on that basis, it's only right that he should have core participant status."

-End of Excerpts-

Day job is right. Evans cannot hold down a real job and is supported by his alleged ex-JW wife and alleged current JW in-laws. His knowledge and "huge expertise" of the inner working of the Watch Tower is because he was subject to disciplinary action for allegedly abusing his position as an Elder in the congregation, allegedly sexting girls and women both inside his congregation and in other congregations. Evans was forcibly ousted from the JW organization. He has a problem with the JWs' rigid rules on sexting and viewing pornography, and with being allowed to freely sexually pleasure himself as he talks about in his book, his blog, and in his various YouTube videos. 

As documented on his YouTube channel [unless it has since been deleted] Evans refused to audio tape his judicial committee meeting and had to take an over-the-counter sedative to have the courage to show up, because why? We can only suppose it was because he was truly a predator that not only needed to be stripped of being an Elder in a leadership position, but his actions may have been criminal depending on the country. This is conjecture since Evans refused to provide any proof of any judicial committee proceedings. Some insiders are alleging the whole Elder Body meeting with Evans never took place. He sat in his car recording himself for his YouTube channel pretending to be waiting to go inside to speak with the Elders and delivering disassociation letters for himself and his wife. Right, some are alleging the whole thing was faked for his blog, YouTube channel and later for his giant book when in reality, Evans refused to show up for any judicial committee hearing(s) either in England or Croatia where he now lives.

Since Lloyd Evans has no interest in the IICSA inquiries, meaning, he is not personally involved as he never claimed he was a victim of abuse and has no personal knowledge of anyone suffering abuse, he should not be allowed to participate in the proceedings as anyone having any special knowledge or expertise that millions of ex-JWs don't also possess. 

All Evans has are unsubstantiated claims from alleged victims of abuse who he interviews on his monetized YouTube channel to gain views, clicks, likes, and subscribers. His IICSA application should be denied as a core participant, which could be a blow to the Watch Tower leadership wanting intel on proprietary information. Yes, it could be very important for Evans to have knowledge of the inner workings of the inquiries, to know exactly the behind-the-scenes conversations, evidence, and facts so he can share it with his Watchtower contacts. He already demonstrated in one of his public YouTube videos that he has Governing Body Member Anthony "Tony" Morris' personal phone number. I am only guessing that Tony would want a heads up on what's happening with the IICSA.

It has already been established that Evans is supported by the Bible Students via his patreon account, and as blogged about, his buddy the Bible Student got Evans free rein inside the Watch Tower headquarters in New York, and that guy was the one who called the police on the peaceful ex-JW demonstration outside of that headquarters a few years ago and bragged about it on his own YouTube channel where he said to the police that potentially thousands of angry ex-JWs were violent and showing up to storm the tower and he needed to warn those poor JWs! Yes, he had to take down that video because of the real ex-JW community calling him out as a fake and a Watchtower apologist. A lot of these Bible Students still get a kick-back from the proceeds of the Watch Tower corporations, so yeah, there are two camps of Bible Students too.

The Scientologists have a vested interest in the Watchtower since they following the Watchtower's lead on getting tax-free charity status for a "religion" that does not follow the Christ nor the Scriptures, but follows the policies, rules and edicts from a leadership of men in a corporate hierarchy.

Reference a prior blog entry for more information about the incident at the JW headquarters:
https://exjwquietactivism.blogspot.com/2019/06/who-are-you-supporting.html

Watch out who you are supporting on YouTube. Do you really want to see the end of the JW corporation? Or are you secretly hoping to make it into your own personal cash cow? Turn away from the Watch Tower now. Walk out of those prison camps called Kingdom Halls. The Watch Tower wants you interested in their every move, that's how they know the numbers that are interested in them and watch what's trending on YouTube and they are fooling you into thinking they don't have their future all planned out and it is proceeding on course.

This world is rapidly changing. Start focusing on yourself and your family and plot your own course away from the Watchtower and away from alleged Watchtower spies who are spying on you too.

Are You a Victim?

In a sense, we are all victims on this planet Earth. In fact, we are born victims. We have the chance of our birth that may be good or bad depending on what type of family we were born into. The fact we were born at all is a mystery and a combination and product of our ancestors who came before us. Some of us are the end of a family line and many families die out each century.

The dictionary definition of a victim is someone who is harmed, injured, killed, or a living creature killed as a religious sacrifice or someone who was duped or tricked. So the word has several meanings.

Were you duped into the Jehovah's Witnesses' (JWs) belief system? Many were and are, down to this day, even in our modern era. Christianity is viewed by some as a cult in itself as it has many strict rules and you will be ostracized if you disobey the God-given 10 commandments and other rules of the Scriptures.

When you finally wake up and realize that the JWs are just another type of cult, you may feel very angry and confused. You may want to dump every type of Christian belief system and stop believing in God altogether. These people become very distraught and that alternative lifestyle offers no hope for the future or for an afterlife. I do believe in God or a group of Gods that formed this planet and the solar systems beyond our own. Our world and life itself is too complicated and exact to not be the product of a creator(s). I feel any person who doubts the existence that some great power in this universe created life, is fooling themselves and hopes to feel better about being duped by the JWs. As if, well, everything is fake, life has no meaning, nothing matters when it's just a cop-out, a way to deny we are responsible for how we behave.

If another Christian belief system brings you peace of mind, then you should pursue it. If you have very strict beliefs of your own and do not want to accept another person's culture, preferences, and beliefs, then you need to think about why you feel that way. No, you don't have to accept everything another person does, but stop the judgment mentality that most Christians teach you to adopt. As I have stated before, I am not a licensed health care professional nor a counselor. I offer my own opinions and life stories here on this blog and in my upcoming revised book where I share my journey with you and offer real life practical advice on dealing with the JW who may be in your life right now and causing you heartache.

I finally realized the JWs' beliefs were not only wrong, but a twisting of Bible verses, plus, they don't practice what they preach. They say they are a loving organization when the opposite is true based on my own experience being born and raised in the religious cult. The JWs' have their own unique take on life and many of their tenets mimic the ancient teachings of the illuminated ones dating back to when animals were sacrificed to false gods, one being, Jehovah. Yes, he is a god like all the others who wanted exclusive devotion and a temple built in their honor. The other gods, you know, Apollo the sun god or the sun or the son of God. There are countless deities that want exclusive devotion and many are dead and gone from human consciousness.

Are you a victim? Only you can answer that question. I suggest you put down the electronics for at least one hour per day and ponder that question. I know, there are countless YouTube videos done by a certain age group that spout they were harmed by the JW Society, but most are part of a marketing cult. I think you can spot them easily if you familiarize yourself with the actual teachings of the JWs if you were never one yourself or were only entrapped very briefly and have no deep knowledge of the secret Society. Many on YouTube simply mimic those who left the organization and devise their own story to portray themselves as victims when it's all fake and all they want are views, clicks and likes since they have no job and don't want one.

Many in the YouTube community join the Scientology network and some join the so-called ex-Scientology marketing network where they conduct meaningless surveys and pretend they were somehow damaged by the JWs. You see, the Scientologists and JWs are in bed together. Sources have alleged that the Scientologists used the JWs as an example and business model to gain followers and coerce the government into getting tax-free status. Both have high-ranking supporters that benefit financially from the existence of these secret societies. Same with the ex-communities of these cults. I have said it before, sometime the JWs get it right by throwing out aberrant members who were caught doing illegal or horrendous things and preyed on the membership.

Am I a victim? Yes, a victim of circumstances because I was born and raised in the JW world and a victim of self-pity when I left the organization. My life did not turn out the way I thought. I should be in Jehovah's earthly paradise right now. But since I was duped and believed the lie, I now suffer the economic consequences from that. College was a sin, pursuing job promotions meant you were worldly and deserved to be marked by the congregation, all that, and yes I have had to cope and continue to cope and seek out a new life path that brings me peace of mind. I now enjoy reading many different books about all kinds of subjects and getting outdoors more, taking long walks in the woods, while I still love shopping and watching classic television and movies. I like catching up on things I missed in the past, pursuing areas of study that interest me, and I like drawing, painting and thinking about my next travel destination.

Turn off the juice folks, step away from the outlet, pull the plug. Step into the natural light of a new day. This is a new day and age we are living in. We don't have to accept everything that is thrown at us. 

Care to take a dare? How about expanding your reach beyond the ex-JW YouTube channels and take a different path? Only a suggestion - here is one that may be of interest to the curious and open-minded. Don't worry. No evil spirits can or will enter your mind or body. God gave us free will. Why? To experiment life and enjoy the beauty around us. To find our own path and share our experiences to assist others along their journey. You may find peace of mind and find you are an infinite soul.

JW Worldwide Liquor Run

Regular viewers of various ex-Jehovah's Witness (JW) YouTube videos will most likely have seen the video taken by an anon of Governing Body Member Anthony "Tony" Morris purchasing about $900 dollars worth of liquor. 

Tony Morris is the one I guess assigned to make the liquor run for the rest of the Governing Body members who are headquartered at Warwick, New York, to lead the way in their so-called worldwide preaching work but I guess they need some liquid courage before they can undertake such a global feat. What a joke.

I thought the Kim/Mikey commentary was the best video on this Tony Morris video showing him purchasing multiples bottles of liquor, on a Sunday no less, and they spliced in excerpts of Tony giving a public talk. In my opinion on several occasions Tony appears allegedly drunk while giving public talks. He slurs his speech and then rants against the ex-JWs in an alleged drunken barrage of fire and brimstone hurled at us ex-JWs and can't wait until we burn like hot dogs at the time of the end at Armageddon when their God Jehovah destroys all non-JWs, but especially us so-called apostates, a word the JWs love to use against us who dare leave their organization. They are just a man-made religion with ever changing policies concocted by a group of narcissistic men bent on world power. The Governing Body's egos are through the roof at this point and a lot of the membership have that same ego along with a thin veil over their eyes since they refuse to face facts. The JW religion is on its way out. People are waking up to it being a faux Christian religion.

"Don't be bogged down by these apostates!" Right, Tony, since you have no defense against us. The Bible does not teach what the JWs teach. You are the apostate, buddy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq4K47OEY2o

I hope the JWs realize where their donations are going. Apparently, they are going straight to a liquor store. We know that donations and careful investments over the past 100 years have kept afloat this religious movement and the Governing Body allegedly receive no salaries. Normally they are given a certain amount for personal expenses and I guess Tony heads straight for the liquor store. Okay, fine, that is what he wants to do with his money but it looks like the guy has a serious problem or maybe he is the one doing the liquor run this month for the rest of the group as they prepare to memorialize the death of Jesus Christ on April 19. That must be some memorial.

Everyone that cares is most likely aware that the JWs memorialize the death of Christ only once per year right before the worldly Easter holiday. They actually deny the Christ and simply pass around the emblems of the bread and wine depicting Jesus' body and blood and no one partakes of the emblems since they are not of the anointed remnant class still here on earth. It is not clear how you are selected to be of the anointed class, you "just know", but even those that know this may be rejected depending on their age, social status, and how much they've got in the bank. Some people are allowed to say they are anointed because they may be the wacky old person in the Kingdom Hall and it does no real harm to let them believe they are of the anointed class while they guzzle that wine at the Kingdom Hall and then wobble home to continue the wino party on their own.

My aunt was one of these anointed remnant and her father [my maternal grandfather] was a Freemason. Some suggest that true anointed JWs must be of a certain bloodline and engage in certain Masonic rituals. My mother and her sisters were one of Job's Daughters, sort of like the Freemasons for young girls since the Masons are all men, the leadership with their rituals. I am sure if you are interested in going deeper, you can do your own Internet search. You know, the Internet, that Tony Morris warns you against since everything you want to research is at your fingertips. Of course not everything is true, but the reader must use discernment. The JWs hate the Internet because it reveals they are Masonic-like in their teachings and practice blood sacrifice rituals when a person is dying and needs a potentially life-saving medical blood transfusion and they are not allowed to have one or they will be forever doomed to nothingness. Obviously, the Bible does not teach this; the JWs do.

The JW history is a murky one, and some believe it has its roots in the wealthiest families on earth since they are always looking to control people. One way they do that is via religion and we know religion is a way to make a lot of money. If you can control masses of people, you can control their very lives and their bank accounts.

Don't be fooled by the world's religions. They are a way to control people while separating you from family and from your inheritance. I am a spiritual person and nothing stops me from researching any Bible topic on the Internet. God is free to anyone who wants to learn about him or learn the Bible or learn about a host of other spiritual beings and pursue all types of spiritual beliefs.

Tony Morris allegedly has a drinking problem. I mean, what a waste of money. Oh right, it's not his money. It's yours. The ones who have donated to the JW worldwide work like me and you if you were ever a JW, you donated, believe me, or you would have been shunned and driven out of the Kingdom Hall.

I hope videos like the Tony Morris video continue to show up on the Internet and hopefully it will wake someone up that the JWs are a man-made religion having nothing to do with any God, except maybe the God of materialism and earthly pursuits. Don't waste your time following some alleged drunk to a liquor store who thinks he can control your every move, control whether you live or die. You are better than that. You can see that these JW Governing Body members are just plain old men with nothing to do but think about how to spend your money that you donated.

Time to wake up from the Watchtower that you have been sitting in and waiting for Armageddon to come. The only Armageddon will be the one the JW leadership will witness which is the end of their own life cycle. Once the money dries up, we hope Tony dries out.

Connections

We all need connections in our lives to move forward and to feel motivated, especially for those who may be fearful of leaving the Watchtower Bible & Tract Society, a book publishing and religious marketing company who now seem to be real estate moguls. All of the buying and selling of their Kingdom Halls and Assembly Halls just pad their already huge bank accounts, all built using our money. 

Yes, if you were ever a fully indoctrinated and devout Jehovah's Witness (JW), you did indeed donate tons of cash over many years to that organization and you will never see a return on that investment. What happens is, you watch that investment being sold off and the Watch Tower corporation is the one benefiting financially while you sit there with your same job, same economic situation, and wonder what happened. 

Well, like me, you may have been born and raised as a JW and knew no better about what to do with your life, you never learn goal-setting unless it was to further the interests of the Watch Tower corporation [not even realizing they are made up of multiple corporations, all designed to make tons of money for the corporations]. If you are struggling with connecting with someone following your major decision of exiting the Watch Tower, you are invited to connect with me at any time, either via the comments section of this blog or on my website www.exjwquietactivism.com. My website offers a lot of free information and downloads along with a fun section on health and wellness as suggestions only. I am not a licensed therapist, counselor, nor a life coach. Just sharing information with you based on my personal experiences and personal suggestions. The website is not meant to replace any advice from a licensed health care professional.

My suggestion to you is that if you have suffered trauma inside the JW organization, no matter if it is physical, sexual, or emotional, to seek out a licensed health care professional, NOT a life coach or someone who took an online course and have deemed themselves healers.  Life coaches are like career counselors that may guide you into a vocation, like carpenter or mathematician, not healing trauma suffered at the hands of abusers either inside your family or the JW organization.

I have suggested YouTube sites in the footer of this blog that do contain life coaching, however, they assist you with moving on from the JW structured lifestyle, not healing deep emotional scars from being physically or sexually abused. Please seek out a licensed physician, psychiatrist, or counselor to help you heal. Then think about looking into where you want to go in life, what occupation would be suited for you, maybe think about going back to school and furthering your education.

No one should feel alone in this world, but especially to those who were damaged by the Watch Tower, whose tower(s) seem to be falling all around us what with Kingdom Hall closures all over the nation, the Society eliminating a lot of print copies of their publications, and they seem to want everything done via your electronic device, with only human contact being in the Kingdom Hall with phony people sprinkled around gabbing about nothing and accomplishing nothing in their lives with no goals for the future but sitting and waiting for God.

I have come to the realization that some people need to be cut off from your life or simply nudged off to one side of your road to personal freedom. Don't feel guilty, don't become mean or bitter, just start clearing a path for yourself where you are the focus, not an organization that just wants your youth, time, and money. As I have said on this blog more than once, you are stronger than you think you are. You don't need some YouTuber to yell orders at you about what to do, think or feel. You don't need some YouTuber hoarding money in some international locale telling you to dump Christianity or to stop believing in a God while they plagiarize information from the Internet or other published sources and slap their name on it claiming it's their work product.

What do you need? To turn inward and start getting in touch with that inner child. What did you like to do as a kid? Were you allowed to do anything that did not involve pushing Watch Tower literature into someone's hands? Turn off the electronics for at least an hour a day and meditate on what goals you want for yourself. Take out that journal and reacquaint yourself with a pen and write down your thoughts, letting them flow freely, brainstorming some ideas that involve independence from Watch Tower.

Yes, it may be difficult, but as some say, the first step is always the hardest. Don't give up on yourself or on your spirituality.

Waking Hypnosis

I came across this phenomenon on a YouTube channel that I have as a suggested resource for ex-Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs) [in the footer of this blog], and then expanded my research on the topic on various sites on the Internet. 

The video was done by Gordon Smith-Duran a few years ago and it may help as an introduction to this topic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_-cZfRfCEc

When we were all JWs, we were strictly banned from engaging in any sort of hypnosis techniques and were banned from watching any type of hypnosis session whether it was something performed on a talk show on television or as a game in a nightclub setting, and obviously were further prohibited from performing any sort of self-hypnosis or meditation and yoga on our own. Why is that do you think? The JWs say it has origins in the occult, that you will let some sort of genuine demonic being enter your body and you will be haunted and driven insane. Okay, stop and think why the JW leadership would put these types of fears into its membership, especially since birth. I have clear memories of being terrified of demons, I suffered from night terrors, and nightmares of the time of the end that is talked about ad nauseam at their public meetings and in their literature.

So why fear hypnosis? Why fear meditation and introspection unless you are chanting some verse about Jehovah God or staring at a paragraph out of Watch Tower literature and meditating on the words or in passages of their own Bible translation? Because you will see how easily the human mind is influenced and you will start repeating rhetoric in your day to day life that was placed there by a third-party. They are no longer your own true thoughts or beliefs. If the Watch Tower corporation allows you to engage in hypnosis sessions with a therapist, you will be influenced in a positive direction, an independent direction away from the mind-numbing influences of the Watch Tower corporation. Now I say this with the intention that therapists are well-meaning persons, having your best interests at heart and want you to become an independent self-reliant individual and deal with whatever problems that are holding you back from that goal of achieving your life's purpose.

Watch Tower will tell you that your life's purpose is to serve only them and to have a job to pay your own expenses, yet give a monthly stipend to your local congregation, plus an amount that goes straight to Watch Tower headquarters to keep their "worldwide" work going of amassing real estate and employing unpaid labor to do their bidding. Yes, their permanent residents at their headquarters in New York and other locations around the world at Branch Offices, they do get a monthly stipend, but it is only to cover immediate expenses. When you either decide to leave on your own or are no longer of use and evicted, then you are at ground zero in your life and have to figure out how to support yourself, maybe a spouse, and most just move back home with their parents since they have no other options. We are talking about grown adults moving back home with mom and dad, one man I knew personally was evicted from the Watch Tower headquarters in New York since they were eliminating his job [as well as others] and consolidating. This man was about 35 years old at the time and had zero college since he went straight to work at "Bethel" as the JWs call it, the headquarters in New York, and only worked for them. He was unprepared for the real world and just lives with his mom trying to figure out what to do with his live inside those walls of the Watch Tower.

So what is waking hypnosis? It's what happens at every meeting of the JWs. They lead you down a path. For example:

Speaker: I remember when I was a boy, I used to play outside and my mother never worried about me. Our neighborhood was safe. Television had fun cartoons and good movies were available that supported a strong family unit. Nowadays, you see how everything has changed, even in your own life, right?

Audience nods their heads in agreement. The room is silent save for the humming of the sound equipment, glaring overhead fluorescent lights make you blink a bit more often than usual.

Speaker: Now think about what you see on television news reports. Violence in your own neighborhood. You could never go out as a child now and play on your own, you may be kidnapped, you may suffer being hit by a drunk driver, violence is now a part of our regular life and it frightens us.

Audience nods their heads in agreement.

The speaker eventually leads you to a path that only the JWs can save you from this dilemma. Our world is so violent, we are in danger every day of our lives. We start to feel anxious and confused. The speaker offers you the solution of the Watch Tower as the only way out. Read, study, and speak only of Jehovah God, read only the JW literature, be fearful of reading any other material that may lead you away from the JWs beliefs.

The speaker will then throw in the fear of Satan the Devil. Oh, he is out to get you personally. Do not open yourself up to any type of therapy, instruction, or counseling outside of the JW literature or talking with your Elders in your congregation. You are slowly becoming aware of waking hypnosis. 

In contrast, in most cases you've got to agree with your boss if he/she is a domineering person and one-sided and you've got to hang onto your job. So your boss would say, "ordering updated computers is a really bad idea, RIGHT??" And you would say, right! I agree. That is not waking hypnosis. You are making a conscience decision to agree with your boss since you are in survival mode to keep your job.

Waking hypnosis is when you are led down a path, you hear a long story you can relate to, then the speaker convinces you they have the only one solution. Don't go thinking on your own or searching for answers for yourself, no, stick with Watch Tower, that is your only path to salvation.

Now obviously, if you identify as a Christian, you may need to switch up your thinking that the Bible is the path to your salvation, not any group or organization. Research many different Bible versions and start discovering what is right for yourself in this life. If you are non-Christian, then the JWs are not an issue with you, since you would be rejecting all organizations that use the Bible in their teachings. 

Waking hypnosis is what the JWs practice on each other when they learn their new language and jargon. When you are studying with someone to become a JW, you immediately start picking up on their terms, "worldly people", "out in the world", "fear the demons, they want you to turn away from Jehovah", all fear tactics and the JWs start to implant thoughts in your head that never existed and you would not entertain on your own.

Start thinking about your true self. Why were you put on this earth? What do you personally like to do? Becoming introspective is not a bad thing. It will start to clear the fog inside of your brain put there by years of indoctrination as a JW. Fear is a huge factor you have to deal with. Are you afraid of meditating on anything not coming from the Watch Tower corporation? Why? How about listening to calm music and lay down or sit still for 15 minutes and think about what you are afraid of. Who put those fears inside of you?

When JWs start to wake up from their self-hypnotic state, it can be frightening. Like, waking up a child who is sleep walking and you startle them and they run and hide. Why do you think so many ex-JWs on YouTube are posting videos of their protesting against the JWs? It's a break in their programming and we all react differently when we are waking up to our hypnotic state of mind, a state we have been living in for many years.

I am not against any active protesting of the JWs at their conventions or Kingdom Halls since the persons doing the protesting have little control over how they will react to the waking up process. Some prefer to just walk away from the JWs, and that is perfectly fine, you never have to do anything. Don't think you have to jump in front of a YouTube camera and start pouring out your heart to strangers online, trying to get their approval for leaving the Watch Tower corporation. 

You need to heal yourself first, and then take small steps to clear your mind of the thoughts and impressions placed there by the Watch Tower leadership. Again, I have suggested books and websites on this blog site to get you started. I do not suggest you access any sites that specifically target the Watch Tower corporation or obsess over their monthly podcasts. That will not clear your mind of the JWs mindset or beliefs. It will keep you trapped and stagnate. You want to move away from the Watch Tower corporation and seek out ways to improve your own situation right now, and plan a good solid foundation for a future away from all the programming that was placed inside of you by the Watch Tower corporation.

The Snake's Head

The cable TV channel "A&E" is airing a series called "Cults and Extreme Belief" and the second episode featured Jehovah's Witnesses (JW). It featured a woman named Romy who detailed her personal experiences as being raised in the JW belief system by her mother. Romy was also a victim of a male molester inside her congregation from about 4 to 14 years old. Romy has since posted her segment from A&E on her Facebook site which is public, and I think anyone who has not seen it, should sit down and watch it and truly think about the JW religion, especially if that person is still considered a part of the membership and supports them either by their weekly presence in a Kingdom Hall and/or by their monetary support of their so-called worldwide preaching work.

I know, we hear that many institutions whether considered Christian or not, have bad seeds inside their organizations. While that may be true, why does it excuse the JWs from their alleged cover-ups of child molesters? It doesn't. You can make all the excuses in the world and it just proves what kind of person you are inside. You do not want to support any organization that hides and protects not only child molesters, but abusers of any kind, even those abusing their own spouse. All these sins and crimes are dealt with by the Body of Elders in each congregation, based on the policies put in writing by the JW Governing Body, the group of men leading the organization through the end times of this system of things that they think is so wicked that their God Jehovah will destroy all non-JWs at Armageddon. Yes, those baptized abusers and molesters inside those Kingdom Halls will get into the JW new earthly or heavenly system of things before you dear reader, if you are not a baptized JW and contribute your money to further their global recruiting mission.

After Romy gave most of her life away to the JW organization she stated she wanted to go to the snake's head and actually try and speak with a member of the Governing Body to hand that man her disassociation letter from the organization. She showed up at the compound gates at the JW world headquarters in Warwick, NY, and was met by a guard at the gate who said no one was available to speak with her, yet she could wait inside her car outside of the [prison] gate and he would see if anyone was available to speak with her.

After waiting for several minutes, Romy again approached the guard who stated that no one is available to speak with her. Right, no one. Not any of the hundreds of JWs living there full time at the headquarters compound were willing to step outside and drive to the entrance gates to take Romy's disassociation letter in person. So Romy left it with the guard at the gate and went home.

This is the organization that you have devoted your life to, given of your free time, your own resources, paying for all of the recruitment activities out of your own pocket, aside from paying all of your rent or mortgage, food, gas, clothing, and having a full-time job to support yourself and your family, the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society could not care less. They are takers. When you finally wake up to the fact you were taken, they want nothing to do with you, they write you off, shun you, ignore you, and bully you into silence or face further penalties and group shunning by those still in the JW belief system.

It is a reality we have all had to face when we are finally old enough to understand the JW organization that we were born into. A lot are like me, born and raised into this archaic, abusive belief system thinking we have nowhere to go. What we do know is that we can leave. We can put down that Watchtower literature, walk out of that Kingdom Hall for the very last time and never look back. If any of your JW friends or family still want to speak with you, that's fine, but you are walking away with or without them. It means your future health and happiness to walk out.

Where will you go? That is the pleasant adventure that awaits you. Don't jump into any other religious belief system, don't jump into therapy, take a beat, think about your priorities first. Most of us have to work for a living so that is where to start. Are you doing okay at work? Could you think about going back to school? Do not immediately jump on a YouTube channel and sit in front of a camera 24/7 picking apart Watchtower and failing at your own personal life and jeopardizing your future. 

I have suggested this many times on this blog, and that is to start a journal of what is going on with your thoughts as you leave the Watchtower corporation. I have also suggested journal statement starters on my website [see sidebar of this blog]. That is how I started. I now have a several journals that I look back on, to see what I was thinking when I first left the JW belief system. I still write down my thoughts and impressions each week, especially when I start feeling alone or over tired. Start putting words to paper and not always be plugged into electronics which raises the blood pressure and makes you feel rushed or that you have to handle multiple things at once.

There is no rush after you leave the falling towers of false belief. That is where the JWs want you to be, in a corner feeling trapped and alone, anxious of what you will do tomorrow. Do not get caught up in that. You have time to take a step back and think. That's where your true inspirations will come as to what you want your next step in life to be. I have been asked about medicating yourself and no, I do not suggest this nor do I think drinking alcohol is the answer. It can lead to an unwanted addiction and will mask your true thoughts that need to come to the forefront. If you engage in any type of illegal drug activity, remember that many of those drugs merge the conscious and subconscious mind into one which is dangerous and why you hear of some drug addicts jumping off of buildings to their death.

The subconscious mind keeps you safe. For instance, when you hop in that car every morning on your way to work, you never consciously have to think about how to do that. You don't stop and stare at the ignition and deliberately think about how to start your car, you just do it. When you are driving, your subconscious mind already knows the way to work, how to look out for traffic signals, it's all seamless. When you are on some type of drug that removes those barriers, you think you can fly. You will drive as if no one else is on the road and will quickly be in a head-on collision. So there is a reason our conscious and subconscious minds are kept separate. Do not confuse this with dealing with the shadow side of your personality. Our personalities are molded by those around us since birth. It's up to you to discover that person inside of you that was repressed by being a JW all of your life. This can reveal good and bad things about yourself. So don't be afraid to start thinking about that person inside of you, absent the rhetoric you were fed from the Watchtower corporation.

It is an amazing journey you will embark upon, once you decide to back away from the head of the snake and seek out a safe path to your own personal freedom.

Don't run, jump over, or touch the snake to move it
out of your path. It can leap and strike double its length
to your peril. Slowly back away to safety.
