"My name is Michel Mix. I grew up in the truth and got baptized when I was 14 years old. After finishing high school I was advised to go to university. Instead I started a part-time distance education course (which I quit when I married a fellow Jehovah’s Witness), went pioneering and became a ministerial servant.
I always loved studying to Bible, but find out that many teachings of the Jehovah’s Witnesses were un-Biblical and merely human interpretations. It that didn’t bother me too much though, I still thought it was the ‘truth’.
When after many years my marriage broke up, I lost all my faith: I’d dedicated many years of my life to a God who didn’t support me at all. I got into a new relationship and the Jehovah’s Witnesses disfellowshipped me from the congregation. My former friends and even family members won’t talk to me anymore. That hurts. A lot.
Sites like JWsurvey.org helped me to realize the truth about the ‘truth’: Jehovah’s Witnesses are not just a religion like all the others. They are WORSE. The indoctrination is overwhelming and there are a lot of victims. All my doubts about teachings that I had in the past, were confirmed. And I found out that many members don’t agree with the teachings, but cannot leave for social reasons.
For me leaving the Jehovah’s Witnesses was the best thing I ever did. I’m happy and free! I remarried, moved from The Netherlands to Colombia, enrolled in university and we are expecting a baby. I’ve lost 20 years of my life, but the future is still bright and shining!" (Lähde: JWsurvey)

Jt-lahko on tästäkin ex-Jehovan todistajasta HUONOMPI kuin muut uskonnot...ei suinkaan vain yksi uskonto muitten joukossa!
Harva uskonto tai aate varsinkaan länsimaissa saa ihmisen esim alistettua niin tyysin ja erotettua muusta yhteiskunnasta, pakotettua itsesensuuriin, painostettua matalaan koulutustasoon, painostettua hengenvaaraan veresiirtokiellon takia ja painostettua jäämään lahkoon ihmissuhteilla kiristämällä!

Juu, tutkimusten mukaan kuuluminen uskonnolliseen yhteisöön yleensä nostaa henkistä hyvinvointia verrattuna siihen ettei kuulu.
Jt-lahkon suhteen asia on varmastikin päinvastoin...sen verran alistava hirmulahko se on. Todellakin huonompi kuin muut kuten ex-Jt kokemuksessaan kirjoittaa Jwsurvay-sivustolla.
