It’s been a busy 2 days in the ExJW world. Today I sat down the Shelise to discuss the new update to the blood doctrine.

So for decades. They have gone beyond what is written….and just like that every life lost was for nothing. 💔 With zero apologies! #exjw #exjehovahswitness #cult #jw #exjwwomenspeakout

[Alissa @Alissasawake]

Research beyond one source. Don't rely solely on biased information. Explore all angles when questions arise. And if an organization is telling you NOT to…ask yourself what they are trying to hide. 🤔

Baptized or unbaptized, it doesn’t matter. If you choose to leave, you still lose your family, your friends, and your community.

But sure… “You can leave at any time.”

The mind games they play: claiming no problem with higher education, then subtly warning of spiritual dangers. It's a tactic to steer choices without outright forbidding them.

This week’s Ask Alissa a PIMO needed advice on how to fade. Full video 🔗 in bio 👆🏼#exjw #exjehovahswitness #cult #exjwsupport #exjwwomenspeakout

[Alissa @Alissasawake]

It’s been 3 years. Do I miss my family…yes. Some days more than others. But not enough to change the path we took. My kids have zero memories of the cult and I’m beyond happy for that.

[Alissa @Alissasawake]

Tune in tomorrow:
I really appreciated hearing the perspective of someone who was never a Jehovah’s Witness but still experienced firsthand the impact the religion can have on a family.
