Realising the Truth about Jehovah’s Witnesses

I find it sympathetically interesting when I view the mental, emotional and physical distress that is impacted onto people when they realise that each and every teaching of the Organisation is a lie. I have tremendous empathy for those who have recently become aware of the lies the Society has been shovelling.

Upon understanding that my life was a lie and that I had subsequently taught people this lie myself, I had become a shadow of my former self. I remember being constantly angry, not being able to sleep at night, and above all, I became critical and extremely negative towards everything, therefore, you can imagine what this did to my social life?

Social life? What social life? I could hardly live with myself. I didn’t know how anyone could stand to be around me.  I found some solace in drinking, and boy did I drink heavily. To be honest, I drank so as to silence my brain as it battled with the cult force field that had enveloped it over the years. You would have thought that with all the drinking that was going on in my life, I at least would have been sleeping? Unfortunately, sleep didn’t come easily either, so I turned to sleeping pills. They helped, but the fact that I had been born into a cult was so fresh on my mind, so gut-wrenching, that I felt I couldn’t go on.

My life had spun into a vicious cycle. The more I self medicated, the more guilt I felt about the methods I used to cope with it all. The fact that I had been gullible beyond comprehension amounted to my annoyance of how much of my life had truly been wasted.

So much for the sentiment we heard so often at those dreadful meetings and conventions; “we are the happiest people on earth!”

To summarise, once you find out that everything you have believed, lived for and sacrificed so much for is as real as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, you realise that your life starts here and now.

If you’re reading this and still go the meetings, still get up on a Saturday/Sunday and go off on the field ministry, but somehow, feel that you’re not enjoying it, your mind will be telling you that it’s for the best. I am telling you that it’s not. Your mind is in a struggle. It needs to breath clean, un-cult air. Read the articles on this blog and on other websites that give information about “The Organisation”. Soon enough, you will awake. It may be terrible at first, but I want you to know that there are people out in the world that are there to help you along.

It’s never too late.
