Hey fellow ex jws!! let's talk!

Hi I'm looking forward to seeing I'd you guys had similar exsperiances to me as I'm now ready to talk about leaving the Jehovah's witnesses!!

So probably best to start with my story!

I'm 21 from west Yorkshire England, I was born into the religion and my whole exstended family is Jehovah's witness I decided to leave around 13-14 years old and finished the whole process by 14 it was horrible and it genuinely did scar me

I started the process by looking for answers to things I was struggling to believe or understand which there was many things!, it seemed to all circle back to the same two answers from the elders unwashed studying with a debate which I'd punch holes in there answers easily untill they resort to the raw answer there arguments was built on " have faith or the bible says so without any proof outside the bible they could give me" they eventually started getting more passive aggressive/aggressive when they figured out I wanted to leave, I remember at one point debating with my uncle on it which ended up him asulting me, the closer I got to leaving the more distance my family put between me the elders started to threaten me with death at Armageddon and that my life would be nothing that I have no idea what I'm talking about and pushed my parents to force me to the kingdom halls against my will and eventually it resulted with them suggesting I was removed from outside tainting I was isolated from the world and kept within the bounderys of my houses not allowed to leave bar meetings...only allowed to see jehovahs witnesses I don't know the exact details of the conversation they had but that was the result of it, during which time I understandbly got very depressed and eventually truest to take my life multiple times which they shunned me for no understanding of the emotional tomment they had put me through at 13 at the time I felt I had lost everything my life consisted of meetings with people who were abusive to me and cleaning what was effectively my prison, a few days after turning 14 I snapped

I had a huge argument with my step dad about how I was being treat and that I didn't want God in my life and he chucked me out the house I went to stay with another relative who allowed me to associate with people and I made it clear I didn't want anything to do with Jehovah's witnesses! This never was appreciated by the kingdom hall who have substantial followed me for the last 7-8 years through 3 addresses which they have found without me giving details to them and still do come to my house and post watchtowers personal letters invites bible's and over booklets knock on my door regularly I have to them perfusly to stop and leave me alone put me on the do not calls but they still come

I'm now looking at my fourth move this time to another country to escape these people because they refuse to leave me be and don't understand how depressing and upsetting seeing there material is to me and they choose to ignore it

There is more personal details that I still struggle to talk about that these people have done to me but that's for another day

Does any have exsperiances like mine with these people?
