Witnesses of Jehovah

View the classic film below. Still pretty much just as relevant today as when it first came out.

I joined the JWs at 17 yrs old. I was Church of England but was going through difficult teenage years. Their promises of paradaise on Earth gave me hope. But because of following their ways for over 25 years I didn't get a career, never settled into adult life properly. My 2 daughters had miserable childhoods being bullied at school. But worse, they were abused by their grandfather who was an elder. They did nothing wrong and were not disfellowshipped but the family cast them and me and my husband out. Their cruelty and unchristian attitude have sadly overshadowed our lives for the last 20 yrs. Now we are free but, especially for me this has been very difficult to break away. Your film has convinced me to get rid of all their literature and never to go to another meeting. I am sick of being afraid. I don't want to live forever according to them without my husband and children or grandchildren. Fortunately my little family is all free now and life is much lighter. I love the Bible, always have, but the JWs took the love of Jesus out of it with their teachings. If I am wrong to leave so be it. But I think now that I am right. I never imagined that I would be free. Thankyou for showing me the truth.
