I am POMO & shunned by family for 45 years - until the recent New Light. My book is pending.

The saga of my last remaining #JehovahsWitness relative continues. A thread...

@Bow_the_Hopper @Larchwood20 Reminds me of the 19 year old LDS "elders" that come to the door and can't even answer basic questions about their doctrine.

It's no wonder I fought paranoia for years after escaping.
BTW, the little H! tler mustache is appropriate. Mark is a sick, bigoted, hypocritical arse.

And my sweet JW grandmother d*ed thinking she would not be resurrected because she refused to shun me when I was DFd at fifteen. My b!tch JW aunt turned her in. She wasn't DFd but she kept in contact with me right up to her de@th. She said I was more important than eternal life.

That's pure 🐮💩

[CultWisDumb @CultWisDumb]

That's good.

All this new light makes me want to party.

Change in policy here is not about getting gods view correct.
It’s about avoiding legal liability, avoiding high control optics in countries denying funding and trying to keep members.
Ultimately all about revenue.

@sirkuyabill "It's just child abuse, and if it's following a religious belief that makes it good"

Jehovah's Witnesses / their supporters ignore how they kill kids, how their shunning policies have torn families apart causing suicides, how elders worldwide covered up crimes silencing victims

Not growing up . But I can't stand Serena Williams because she recently was baptized into one of the cruelest culty religions ever. Ergo she h8s LGBT people and would shun her own kids if they broke the rules.

Who was that one athlete you just could NOT stand when you were growing up?

That one player you always hated…..

Watchtower would disfellowship Charles Taze Russell today.

[CultWisDumb @CultWisDumb]

It's that new light thing. I think it would be funny if Watchtower switched it back to no beards.

[XJDUB93 🕊️ @xjdub93]

@daroljorg @CultWisDumb No. That would be your cult.

Shunning's intense social isolation has been linked in multiple studies to severe mental distress among former Jehovah's Witnesses, including elevated depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicides. A 2023 European survey of 424 ex-members found 33% reported suicidal thoughts and 10% attempts, with 63% showing clinically significant symptoms—higher among women and abuse survivors. A 2025 UK study and others (e.g., Ransom 2021, Luther 2022) document similar patterns tied to shunning, identity loss, and internalized beliefs, though samples are often self-selected via support groups.

Emerging research on religious exit trauma supports further investigation; recovery often improves with new social ties and specialist help. Courts treat adult doctrinal adherence as competent choice, distinguishing from physical coercion, but impacts remain a valid concern.

@ListenToVictims Honestly, your mom must be of the older order mindset. We are encouraged to keep relations up with our family to the most that they will allow us. I’m so sorry you feel this way. The only thing we can work on is our own attitudes.

I’ll never forget my JW sternotomy patient who DIED because she needed a blood transfusion and her parents declined. I literally did chest compressions w/blood splattering every where (her Prevena ripped) trying so hard to save her. Blood on my gloves, on my scrubs, on my shoes.

I cried for days. I was a new nurse and didn’t fucking understand. All she needed was BLOOD. She was 33 years old. This was 8 years ago. I think about her all the time. She was so young. I was mad for a long time and it really changed my view on religion.
