Testimonies of Jehovah's Witnesses who have left the
Watchtower organization

What would you do if
you woke up one morning and realized that
everything you've been taught, everything
you've known, everything you've thought was
truth was not. As a matter of fact,
everything was a lie. And this lie was
taught to you by the people you love most in
the world, your parents. This has been what
has been revealed to me over the last few
years of my life.

At Gilead I met many
of the inner circle — the “governing body”
of JWs — and also the principal translators
of the Watchtower Bible. None of these knew
Greek or Hebrew! No wonder they opted for
anonymity. These “scholars” of the
Watchtower knew no more Greek than I did.
This made me a bit uneasy.

"New light" said, "If
you see JWs sinning and do not report them,
you are guilty of that sin yourself. A
sister in our congregation took blood when
she hemorrhaged at childbirth. My options
were - report her - and if I didn't, the sin
fell on me. Both options bothered me! You
see, when you are ignorant of having a
relationship with Christ, you follow people
blindly, trusting them to be in God's will.
Like a good JW, I reported her and she had
to appear before a committee of elders.

It happened that I was
at a bookstore with my husband, and out of
curiosity I picked up a book called Kingdom
of the Cults. I looked on the list of major
cults, and there was Jehovah Witnesses. I
went to the chapter and started reading. It
turned out that the founder of the
organization was indeed no anointed saint,
and therefore the religion is found on one
fraudulent man, and his theories, and his
beliefs had no basis. Certainly no messenger
of God.

Because there was so
little time left many young teenagers began
to get married quite young. It is
traditional and typical for a Jehovah's
Witness to marry young. Since one is not
allowed to date unless you intend to be
married, anyone who dates is expected that
they get married. However, since Armageddon
was so close, it just seemed like there was
a frenzy of young teens getting married.
